All Roads Lead To...

I heard through the grapevine about a couple of products that I just had to try: 1. A mascara from LA brand Hourglass, film noir $54 Now I love a mascara and am always on the hunt for bigger, thicker, longer, blacker lashes. This gives you length and a good wiggle of the brush gives you volume at the roots, pretty impressive. 2. Stila's corrective primer $76. This product contains a very pretty swirl of lavender, mint, and rose to even your skin tone so less foundation is necessary. It's perfect for summer when a fresh skin glow is all the go. I love this so much it's become daily ritual. Both these little wonders come from the U.S are available in NZ from mega beauty boutique Mecca Cosmetica. This got me thinking about what other treasures they have in store. So I took my query right to the horses mouth and asked a few staff about their personal beauty must haves. Abby, 32, Mecca Colour Specialist Cant do without -NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser $89. Great coverage and illumination for the ultimate summer glow. Chris, 32, Mecca Regional Trainer N.V Perricone Advanced Face firming activator $234. He believes its the best anti aging weapon available, not only does it treat fine lines and wrinkles, but shrinks those pesky pores and controls oil. Jasmine, 21, Mecca Skin Specialist Eve Lom cleanser $88. She says " It's the best cleanser for removing makeup, hydrating and plumping your skin! One product I wont live without!"
