While fashion may be the focus at MBFWA, it’s just as important to keep your health and beauty in check. Knowing how manic the week can be, BEAUTYDIRECTORY have put together a streamlined list of the essential products you should put in your arsenal to ensure you end the week looking as fresh as when you started it.
Blackmores Recharge Liver Detox
Formulated with antioxidant-rich superfoods to support the body’s detoxification process, the Blackmores Recharge Liver Detox will ensure that all those post-show champagnes won’t do any damage (at least not to your liver!).
Schick Hydro Silk
There’s nothing chic about a mini skirt paired with a set of hairy pins. The Schick Hydro Silk razor is the perfect solution with its five curve-sensing blades. Featuring a water-activated moisturising strip and a patented skin guard to reduce irritation, this ergonomic razor is a great addition to your pre-show beauty routine.
Swisspers Rosehip Facial Cleansing Wipes
Tired after getting home late from the last show? The Swisspers Rosehip Facial Cleansing Wipes will be your best friend this MBFWA. These rejuvenating cleansing wipes are formulated with rosehip and aloe extracts so they gently remove make-up while hydrating and nourishing skin.
John Frieda Ocean Waves Sea-Salt Spray
Nothing screams ‘farshion’ more than loose, boho waves. We love the John Frieda Beach Blonde Ocean Waves Sea-Salt Spray as it not only enhances natural waves, but delivers a textured effect with a matte finish.
Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips
Running around backstage at Fashion Week can turn anyone into a dirty, sweaty mess. Instantly remove any oil and dirt build-up from around the nose with the help of Bioré’s Deep Cleansing Pore Strips.
Glam by Manicare Gisele Lashes
You might not be the one on the catwalk, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make a dramatic entrance. Enhance the length and thickness of your lashes by popping on a pair of these falsies: Glam by Manicare Gisele Lashes. Hello, drama!
Manicare Ergonomic 4-Way Buffer
Want pretty, natural nails this Fashion Week? Use the Manicare Ergonomic 4-Way Buffer to smooth out ridges and irregularities on the nail surface and give your nails shine.
Swisse Micellar Makeup Remover
There’s a reason micellar water is having its moment. With a rinse-free formula, the Swisse Micellar Makeup Remover contains micellar water and cucumber to cleanse, soften and hydrate skin while removing all traces of make-up (even that pesky waterproof kind).
Australis Matte Me Lip Mattifying Stick
It’s all about the base when it comes to Australis this MBFWA. The brand’s Matte Me Lip Mattifying Stick is a base coat worn underneath lipstick that transforms it from glossy to matte.
Montagne Jeunesse Creamy Coconut Mask
Not feeling so glowy after early mornings and late nights? Bring back your skin’s hydration with this facial mask that is formulated with coconut water and shea butter to help restore moisture and hydrate dry skin.
Murine® Clear Eyes
Developed a nasty case of bloodshot eyes after “just one champagne” led to you crawling into bed during the wee hours? Murine® Clear Eyes eye drops work to clear and brighten red, bloodshot eyes caused by lack of sleep and smoky environments. Winner.
Swisse Low Carb Protein Bar
There’s something about being surrounded by skinny models that makes me want to eat copious amounts of food. Rather than actually do this, I like to snack on something that makes me feel full without stuffing my face. The Swisse Low Carb Protein Bar is a great option as it is a high-protein, low-carb bar with added fibre to help with hunger control.
Sukin Super Greens - Facial Recovery Serum
It’s not just your insides that need super greens: your skin does, too. Featuring a blend of kale, spirulina, chlorella and parsley to add radiance, the Sukin Super Greens - Facial Recovery Serum is a serum that contains antioxidants and vitamins to deliver a healthy glow to skin.
Carelli Recovery Oil
Have hair envy this MBFWA with a little help from Carelli’s Recovery Oil. A 100 per cent pure hair oil, the Recovery Oil is made up of a blend of nine essential and natural organic oils and works to heal hair without leaving any build-up.
Blackmores Bio Iron Advanced
It’s hard to fulfil your usual dietary intake when you’re rushing around to different shows, but one sneaky way of making sure you do is by popping the Blackmores Bio Iron Advanced iron supplement tablet in your handbag. These pills help to reduce fatigue and tiredness caused by low dietary iron intake.
Elegant Touch Express
If you’ve run out of time to do your nails, a super-simple solution is using the Elegant Touch Express press-on nails - ideal for on-the-go application. The UV gel technology gives nails a salon finish that won’t chip or scratch, and the flexible material delivers long-lasting, comfortable wear and a natural appearance.
Mavala Switzerland Lip Balm
With air kisses a-plenty happening at Fashion Week, you want to make sure your lips are in good shape. The Mavala Lip Balm works to protect and repair lips and is formulated with SPF10 and a botanical complex of heart seed and sunflower oils, apricot, aloe vera, shea butter.
Mavala Switzerland Mavala Sheer Lipstick
Adding a subtle touch (and the perfect accompaniment) to any outfit is the Mavala Switzerland Mavala Sheer Lipstick. Containing a moisturising prolip complex as well as super-fine glitter, these reflective lip colours give lips subtle colour and shine.
Revitanail Hand & Nail Cream
We’ve sorted you out when it comes to nails, but you can’t team pretty fingertips with dehydrated hands. The Revitanail Hand & Nail Cream provides intense nourishment and moisture to dry, dehydrated hands and nails and works to improve and maintain skin texture and tone.
