This month we’ve discovered some of the best beauty products that you’ve been hiding away, so now we can all share in their goodness and beat the post-summer blues…
Thursday Plantation Almond Oil
You say: “I absolutely love the Thursday Plantation Almond Oil. It is a great all over body oil, I’ve even used it as an over night face treatment when my face has been overly dry as I normally have dry skin any way. It did relieve, soothes and soften my skin as stated and was easily absorbed and left no oily residue or irritation behind and doesn’t really have any fragrance to it. You only need a few drops as it’s an oil and spreads over quickly and easily. I don’t want to ever run out of this product.” – bh member Fefe
évolis® shampoo for men
We say: “When it comes to hair loss, we aren’t the only one who feel self conscious and want a little helping hand. As the men in our life begin to lose their hair, they often feel that totaly loss is inevitable and don’t see the point in trying to boost hair growth. This is where we come in with a handy product like this one that will have them feeling more confident in no time. évolis® shampoo for men helps to maintain scalp health, control sebum production and promotes healthy hair growth. “
Scott Cornwall Colour Restore Candy
We say: “With rose gold and blush hair hues being all the rage right now, the market has been crying out for a colour-saving hair treatment that caters to soft hair hues. This hair treatment toner helps to enhance blonde blush and soft apricot tones in platinum or very light bases and transforms golden blonde shades into strawberry blonde. Use either as a two-minute regular conditioner or as a 20-minute leave-in treatment for deeper, more vibrant colour results. So you’ll never have to watch your colour disappear down the drain again.”
DU’IT Tough Scrub
You say: “With all the tan removers out there now it’s great, not to mention easy, to get tan off your body but I always still seemed to end up with tan between my fingers or my hands too dark after a tan.This product is the solution! I wet my hands first, lather it on and then intertwine my fingers together and scrub, it really gets rid of the tan between your fingers, you can also rub your palms together if you end up with dark tan hands if you are a self tanner!” – bh member katie975
Colour Addict Coloured Spray Chalk Cyan
You say: “As I was wandering through the aisles, looking for a colour to dye my hair before my show, I laid my eyes on this product. Now, I’d gone blue once before, and it went pretty well, the crowd thought it was pretty cool, but not my principal when I had to go to school a few days after. So when I saw this, I thought of it as my perfect chance, have an awesome hair colour for the stage, then wash it out for school. This product was not only amazing, it got me out of so many possible detentions!” – bh member Scarsion
Tory Burch Bel Azur
We say: “When a fragrance is inspired by the iconic inspired by the Core d’Azur, a legendary paradise on the French Riviera, you know it’s gotta be good – and this Tory Burch fragrance doesn’t disappoint. A refreshing blend of bergamot washes over breezy florals of neroli and peony, while creamy cedarwood and earthy vetiver melt together for one intoxicating scent. Spritz this one throughout the colder months to take you right back to long hot days by the water.”
Cedel Retro Dry Shampoo for Light Hair
You say: “I’ve used many dry shampoos in the past, but so far Cedel’s Retro Dry Shampoo takes the cake. I have very long hair so washing my hair on a daily basis is an impossibility. Cedel’s Dry Shampoo saves me so much time and prologues my wash. I am prone to oily roots, which have a tendency to weigh down my hair so a good dry shampoo is a staple in my styling regime. The packaging has a very trendy vintage retro look to it, and it smells absolutely divine, who doesn’t love a bit of coconut to freshen things up. I don’t feel dry or heavy when I use it, and it blends well with my root colour.” – bh member rhian38
Blistex Ultra Lip Balm SPF 50+
We say: “Lip balm is an essential, but so is sun protection. And if you haven’t been using a dedicated SPF lip product on your smackers, now is the time to start. This Blistex winner is an easy way to get into the habit thanks to the smooth consistency and infusion of conditioners and antioxidants in the formula. And with SPF 50+ sunscreen, you’ll never experience the horror of sunburnt lips again. A handbag staple!”
RACINNE Ultimate Youth Power Serum
You say: “I’ve tried a few really expensive high end serums for anti-aging and this one works just as well, if not better. It’s so much more affordable. My skin is very dry and dull looking with wrinkles mostly on the forehead. After using this gel-like serum, the wrinkles have reduced dramatically and my skin feels hydrated with a glowing look.” – bh member MisssC
Hair Recipe Kiwi & Fig Volume Conditioner
You say: “Whatever product you pick up from Hair Recipe, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. It’s my absolute favourite brand of hair care. Having waist-length hair I’ve never found a shampoo/conditioner that I truly love, but Hair Recipe ticks all the right boxes. This Kiwi & Fig conditioner leaves hair tangle-free, soft, smooth and shiny. Deliciously-scented hair that’s super touchable? Yes please!” – bh member makeupcat
DKNY DKNY For Women
You say: “I have used this fragrance for years and it is one of my favourites. The scent is citrus and summery but not too overpowering. I always get complimented on the fragrance when wearing it. It’s displayed in a gorgeous bottle. It’s quite hard to find it on offer in Australia but I just got a new bottle in the Priceline perfume sale so I’d look out for that if you were wanting to try it out. DKNY women is an overall lovely product and I would highly recommend it if you were wanting to try out a new perfume.” – bh member Isabelbolton
HoMedics Ultimate Compression Foot & Calf Massager
You say: “They have these at Singapore Airport and I fell in love. Great for very tired calves and it instantly rejuvenates and puts a spring back into your step. The one I had even had a heat warmer function so this was calf therapy to the max.” – bh member NAFANAFA
