Angelina in real life is truly putting on a super hero performance to make a positive difference for the less fortunate. This time, “Lara croft” has a different fight on her hands, a much more difficult fight that actually does involve saving the planet.

Kym Ellery’s ‘Je Suis a vous’ rock referenced collection was heavy on tailoring, edgy undone finishes and lots of skin. Watch as the latest beauty brands to hit Australian shores, RMS Beauty and John Masters Organics, work skin and makeup magic behind the scenes at Ellery’s RAFW show.

Looking for a foundation? Ready to cover those unsightly imperfections. Take your pick from the following 8 foundation types, all working in combination to provide you with the perfect coverage suited for your skin. Lets start with the most common - the liquid foundation.

Liquid Foundation - is the most readily found and is suited to most, if not all - skin types. It is available in formulations from oil-free, oil-absorbing formulas to moisturizing formulas and gives varying degrees of sheer to medium coverage depending on the brand and the formula. You can purchase liquid foundation in a bottle or a tube. When applied, it gives you more coverage than a tinted moisturizer but less than a creme foundation.

There is currently a lot of confusion in the cosmetic and natural skin care market with many companies riding on the back of the growing swell of consumer support for organic products. A few years ago we had every manufacturer and marketer screaming “natural”‘ in fact so much so it was hard to find a brand that did NOT have the word natural on the label. More recently the word “organic” has become the new buzz word and superseded “natural” so the new definition of “natural” became organic for a lot of marketers and again many companies followed suit and began yelling it from the roof tops. But what does it all mean? Well nothing; anyone here in Australia can call themselves natural and organic as there is no body either government or private that polices these label claims. You can buy a product that has over 95% synthetic material and a very small amount of an organic herb and they could still have organic and natural noted all over the label.

Honey is Anti-Bacterial Used to Treat Skin Deceases and Prevent Infections
Honey is useful for various skin diseases. Honey has antibacterial properties due to its acidic nature and enzymically produced hydrogen peroxide. It is rich with ‘inhibine‘, the natural chemical substance that helps prevent the infections from occurring killing the germs on the surface of our skin. It works by absorbing the moisture out of the bacteria’s cell walls - most bacteria can not survive without the moisture around them, and therefore, honey has been considered as the good natural antiseptic for attacking various broad spectrum bacterial and fungal species.

We’ve all heard of stories of mood swings, uncontrollable desires and crazy things happening during various phases of the moon cycle. But have you ever heard of the moon having a direct effect on the beauty of our skin? Let me throw a couple of examples at you and see if you agree with me….

Do you agree that sometimes when you  get a bikini wax, you are in complete agony and yet at other times it is almost pain-free? Or what about occasionally when you have a non- PMS linked food craving? In fact, just as bio-dynamic gardening recognizes the impact of the moon’s phases on growing cycles, so the moon effects our body’s natural cycles, too. Don’t believe me…… Keep a lunar calendar on your desk and start to observe the link for yourself.
