The LA Team began our day with a little Thanksgiving celebration of our own to see what products our girls were most thankful for this year.
Sarah – Clarins Beauty Flash Balm
The claims Clarins make for Flash Balm are that it brightens and tightens your skin, erasing the signs of fatigue and stress.
It’s intended to be a ‘pick me up’ product and they say that it will instantly restore a ‘fresh, revived, beautiful appearance’. It also claims to be able to minimise fine lines due to its combination of ingredients – olive extract, Witch Hazel and micro algae, which gently tighten skin. “My skin just feels amazing after using this, it’s definitely my product of the year!”
Deirdre – Urban Decay Naked Eye shadow Palette
This palette contains twelve shades–eight are incredibly neutral, but four pack a little–much welcome–colour punch. The palette also contains a double-ended eyeliner – ‘Zero’- which is your basic creamy black with a near-matte finish. “You can use this palette everyday, the colours suit all occasions”
Gill – Avalon Lip Balm
A soothing Lip Balm that provides effective free radical defence with Vitamins C and E plus nourishing, nutrient-rich, organic plant oils and waxes effectively protect against drying and chapping for soft, smooth lips. “This is the only lip-balm I have found that keeps my lips in good condition all winter”
Amy – Dermalogica active moist
This sheer, easy-to-apply, oil-free formula contains Silk Amino Acids and a unique combination of plant extracts to help smooth and improve the skin’s texture. “This is my favourite moisturiser, it goes on so well & sinks into the skin. It’s a great base for make-up”
Siobhán – MAC Vanilla Pigment
This is the perfect, slightly pearly but not glittery highlight! In the tub, Vanilla comes across as a shimmery off-white colour with gold sparkles. However, on the skin, it transforms into a shimmery duo-chrome fleshy toned light gold and light pink. “I use this every day, it has so many uses!”
Krissie – Benefit Coralista blusher
A warm coral-pink powder that brightens up your complexion & smells great too! It’s described as a “coral pink sheen.” I think this colour is flattering on so many skin tones especially light to medium, but works amazing as a coral highlighter for darker skin tones.
Orla – MAC Crème Cup Lipstick
This is a neutral, milky-pink colour that has become a hot favourite to create that soft baby pink lip.
For me, I already love the lipstick just by hearing the name. Crème Cup sounds so cute and deliciously sweet!
