My Summer Product Secrets

So Ladies I am going to share with you my secrets for beauty supplies for hot summer looks!
I cannot remember the last time I purchased a product in Australia I buy all my makeup and face care from online stores in the States. The reason = its sooo much cheaper!
Wouldn't you want to use the money you save to buy a new kini bikini or go on an awesome girls trip???!

So here they are:

BEST BRONZER : Nars bronzer in "laguna" I have tried hundreds believe me!
and have had so many applied to my face at shoots! I have all my girlfriends on to this product also, the problem is in Australia they retail for $70!!! in the states they are $30-40 thats half price and since the dollar is at 97c at the moment its a perfect time to stock up on all your summer essentials!

BEST FOUNDATION: Now this is where I splurge;

I love Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation. Its a light coverage that makes your skin look radiant and silky . It retails for $80-$90 here and I am yet to find an online store from the states that i can buy it from. However if you have a friend going to the states get them to get your colour for you its US $50-60 over there.

The other best of the best foundation is LA MER foundation this is INCREDIBLE I am in love with it; its a treatment foundation and is so good for your skin! I am so anal about wearing foundation as i try not to wear it if I don't have to cos I feel like sometimes it blocks your pores, however this foundation feels like it is working for your skin and not against it!
it is a little exe $$$it set me back USD$80 when i was in the states but the bottle is bigger than Giorgio, and contains LAMER's secret seaweed infusion ingredients. honestly if you apply it correctly you look red carpet ready your skin glows!!!!! and you don't have that full on makeup look.

MY FAVOURITE EYESHADOW- Nars Duo in Kalahari, Once again its $70 here but $30 in the states!

BEST MOISURIZER: Dermalogica skin smoothing cream and don't forget to add a sunscreen!
Another good one I tried was Clarins Youth Moisturizer. Once again $80 here but $30 in the states for 100ml size!

So I have listed a few, next time I will tell you my top 3 tanning products and they are good ones and cheap too!

so you want to know where I get the products? try these sites:

I think strawberry net is not the cheapest

www.ebay.com - look for US state skincare stores on ebay- really good !

If you have a friend going to the states get them to go to SEPHORA for you and they have everything there!

Stay tuned as next time Ill tell you the best:
