as i mentioned in my last post, i love going to drugstores when i travel to pick up local beauty products.  after a trip to priceline (the australian walgreens/duane reade), i came home with these goodies.

drugstore findsafter using them for a few weeks, my favorites are the pawpaw ointment (it heals everything!) and the rose mist.  i noticed that a lot of local beauty products had rose hip oil in them, which is supposed to be great for your skin.  the rose mist is so refreshing and has an added fragrance, which i absolutely love.

australian department store finds

20 Monday Apr 2015

when i travel, one of my favorite things to do is visit drugstores and beauty counters for products that are hard to find in the states.  australian beauty brands are big on using all-natural products, specially formulated for the unrelenting australian sun.

i had heard of mecca beauty before i left, and i made sure to visit the store while in melbourne.  i picked a few products for summer (tinted moisturizer, highlighter, and tinted lip balm) – all very light but containing spf for the unrelenting nyc sun.

makeup essentials

makeup essentialsthe photo is the totality of my makeup collection.  although it is true that i am not a makeup person, i still wanted to pare down my makeup to the bare essentials that would take me through every occasion.  the laura mercier caviar sticks and the armani eye liner take the place of eyeshadow, and i apply everything except for the powder and blush with my fingers.
