New Colours From NUDUS

Remember NŪDUS?
The local line of luxury lipsticks has just released five new shades.

As they are extremely beautiful I thought I share the news with you!

I took a photo of some swatches and the lipsticks, to give you an idea.

All shades are beautifully highly pigmented and very wearable and flattering.

Well done, NUDUS

Nudus is certified organic & cruelty-free. The shades do contain beeswax though and are therefore not vegan.

I am happy I added these to my kit!

Jane Iredale Summer Campaign

In September I flew up to Noosa to create one minute makeup looks for Jane Iredales latest Summer campaign. It was such good fun and an amazing team on set.

All the looks are wearable and very natural and subtle. I liked how all models were different ages and colouring really showing a variety of looks that suit pretty much everyone.
They are all created with real women in mind that only have a few minutes to do their makeup and are far from the usual complicated & ultra detailed Youtube makeup looks.

It's fun to see the final clips and I thought I share them here with you.

If you like the videos above check out all looks in the Jane Iredale Austalia Youtube playlist here

I really love working with the Jane Iredale products, they live up to my professional standards, are kind to the skin and are all PETA certified cruelty-free. Most of the range is vegan too!
My pro kit contains quite a few items of this brand and my collection continues to grow.

I hope you enjoyed some quick,simple, practical & natural makeup ideas for Summer!

Zuii Organic Eye Makeup Fun

I have recently had some fun with the Zuii Organic Range.

My fav's were the Eye Brow Definer, Maxi Lash Mascara and funky Flora Eye Shadows. The eye makeup products are lovely and also great for editorial makeup use. This range is filled with colour and certified Organic. I have been using the mascara with great success on my sensitive eyes, and experiencend no watering or itching. It is not water proof, yet it holds up throughout my work day really well.

If you are in the market for a silicone free primer, this one is really worth trying. It absorbs quickly and is suitable for all skin types and creates a lovely smooth base for your foundation. As I am very yellow tones I didn't find a good colour match in their foundations, this primer however is a good find.

Zuii is powered by flowers and every product uses beautiful botanical oils and flower extracts. I find the range perfect for teens and young women who love colour, they even do vegan colourful mascara.
