Wearing lipstick is very high maintenance and messy at times (teeth and drinking glass). I’ve worn many long lasting waterproof lip products and most of them leave my lips dry. One of my most memorable and bad lipstick situations was when I was filming My Kitchen Rules in Melbourne for Carly & Emily’s instant restaurant. I had just bought Revlon Colorstay Overtime in Neverending Nude. Generally during the day I need to reapply lip conditioner, after doing this the colorstay started clogging up. Naturally I started to freak out as the producers were calling us in for filming. I tried to scrap it off with my finger and tissues but this didn’t work. Lucky enough Emma (MKR scientist from WA) noticed that I was in trouble and quickly got me a wet wipes. She helped me reapply a different lipstick of her own. I thank you Emma for aiding me on my time of a beauty crisis!

I paint my nails once a week on a regular basis. I may paint my nails 52 times in a year but I can still make mistakes and it drives me utterly insane. Sally Hansen’s (the queen of nails) amazing Quick Care Manicure Clean-Up pen actually works! It’s as simple as removing the cap and drawing off the smudges. Mine has lasted for a couple of months and still remains moist. Each Quick Care Manicure Clean-Up pen conveniently comes with different tip attachments for easier application.

Mind to Body by Renna Danelutti are beyond amazing, talk about pushing candle technology to the peak. Not only are they deliciously scented but the melted wax can be used as body moisturiser, hair and nail treatment! All products are hand made in Australia, dermatologically tested, made with high quality organic ingredients with tonnes of vitamins for many benefits and are all free from pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified materials. Surprisingly, the melted wax was warm and very soothing. The oil absorbed into my skin exceptionally well and within a few moments my skin felt instantly moisturised (even the next day). Candles come in a range of heavenly scents inspired by exotic fruits and spices, my favourite is Melon & Fig! I highly recommend Mind to Body products as your next gift idea.
