Editor’s letter

This month is Lust have it!’s 2nd birthday & we’re celebrating with The Party Issue of Lustre. We show you the best products to prep for parties, to get a party look & products to help you recover the morning after a party.

Last year Lust have it! celebrated its 1st birthday with a big bash, but this year we decided to keep thing simple with a low key celebration at the recently re-opended D’Bees Cafe at Double Bay but that didn’t stop us indulging in some of their amazing cocktails.

We also chat to Sophie Falkiner to discover her Winter beauty secrets & talk to Planet Eve Organics founder Lorelle Yee.

On Facebook, we asked you for your beauty problems that you wanted us to help you solve & we had so many replies we couldn’t pick just one. So we let you in on some of our go-to beauty secrets for those tricky trends.

Even though its technically still Winter, it feels as if Spring is just around the corner so we bring you our Spring fashion & beauty predictions to help you shake off the gloom of Winter. Don’t forget to send us an email to let us know what tips, trends & articles you want in Lustre as this magazine is for you. Stay Beautiful!

PLANET EVE

Healthy, organic skincare is a thoroughly sought after luxury by many women, but the challenge is finding one that stays true to its name...

Planet Eve Organics ensures that their skin care range deliver 100% naturally derived ingredients for women and men looking to increase their inner and outer wellbeing. Founder Lorelle Yee has created a brand where she knows what is contained within their skin care products, and knows what chemicals and other elements are left out, reassuring customers they are using authentic skin care products that

effectively give life back to and rejuvenate the skin base.

Being ‘the real thing’, Planet Eve Organics attracts customers who understand how many brands on the market claim to be natural or organic but don’t and can’t substantiate their claims. All Planet Eve Organic’s products are Australian Certified Organic, which requires at the highest standard that at least 95% of the ingredients must be

sourced from approved certified organic growers, with the remainder being of natural origin.

In fact, all Planet Eve’s oils are cold pressed and extracted without chemical solvents which can contaminate seemingly natural ingredents.

The stand out range includes a collection of specialised skin care solutions from body creams and moisturisers to cleansing oils and fruit en-

tached to this brand as their goto skin care option.

zymes in an aim to naturally and efficiently give health back to the skin and leave it glowing and feeling luxurious.

The brand boasts a range of amazing ingredients to soothe, repair, revitalise and alleviate the skin from the inside, out. They include; rose, rosehip, macadamia, jojoba, shea butter plus, acai, and antioxidant lingonberry which are all natural and all healing elements with scientifically proven properties. This range of skin care is truly a unique line, with it able to claim true organic nature and beneficial properties to the skin, it is no wonder men and women are becoming at-

Founder Lorelle Yee gained her inspiration for the brand from Eve, the first woman who is the symbol of life giving abundance, which she aims to re-create and deliver through her premium products. Lorelle’s aim is to enable women to have access to skin care products that are not only easy to use and effective but good for your skin and well being. She has a strong belief that natural and organic skin care offers only positive benefits without relying on artificial and chemical ingredients to repair, resotre and rejuvenate.

Not only are organic products beneficial to the person, but also are also environmentally friendly and cruelty free, which is a strong passion for Lorelle.

Her brand has truly taken off and is continuing to grow with only positive health benefits to reward customers for their choice of using the best skin care available.

Planet Eve has also had great success within the beauty industry, winning a Glosscars award which was

based on consumer votes for the best new eye treatment.

Super 5 Eye Firming Gel gives the eyes a revitalised and lifted appearance and has anti-ageing qualities. The product helps reduce puffiness and inflammation from around the eye area, refreshing it and giving the face a new look of health and life. This award is a great success for the brand competing against twenty other international brands, which goes to show that using the best ingredients can deliver the best results without relying on multimillion dollar advertising budgets and synthetic chemicals.

Yasmin sits down with media personality and ambassador for Carmex lip balm: Sophie Falkiner who certainly knows how to stay fit, healthy and beautiful during the winter months.

What motivates you to keep fit in the colder months Sophie?

For me, exercise is a pleasure, in fact most days it is a ritual. I truly love to exercise, and if the truth be known, I would have started exercising earlier in my 20’s.

I never knew I would love it so much!

What type of exercise do you love to do then?

Pilates is a must for me. I love my regular Pilate sessions. It keeps me strong and centred physically as well as calm on the inside, and ready to face some of the challenges life presents! I also love to

jog. Where I live, there are some great running tracks. On a sunny day, there is nothing better than to literally run out the door, to feel the almost-instant buzz of a healthy run! My local gym is also very handy for when the weather is a little wet and gloomy. I also enjoy doing Xbox Zumba with the kids on a rainy day, although I think we laugh more than we exercise! I have just discovered Extend Barre classes, which is a combo of ballet and Pilates.

I have never worked up such a great sweat, It’s my new thing, I really love it.

During the colder months, what do you use a good skin moisturiser or sunscreen?

Absolutely, I like to wear sunscreen all year round. Even though it is a cloudy day you can still get UV damage. I wear Skin Doctors 30 plus Supermoist moisturizer religiously, and my Carmex to protect the delicate lip area.

How important is it to use sunscreen in the winter months?

There are a few different opinions on the use of sunscreen during winter, what do you think? Sunscreen for me is a no brainer, it’s

I think the most beautiful women in Hollywood aged gracefully with little to no work and body from within, as well as externally. the biggest factor in aging your skin and your lips. Sunscreen is pivotal, if you want to age well, not get pigmentation, age spots and those pesky lines around your lips. Sunscreen is part of my daily routine, just like brushing my teeth. I also, try and wear hats and sunglasses whenever possible.

Taking generally, about all beauty products, what are your musthave skin and beauty products?

(Carmex SPF 15 lip balm, Moisture Plus, tinted sunscreens, night creams etc) Carmex lip Balm for every day it has an SPF of 15 which is fantastic. For special day’s out I use their Moisture Plus it comes in a great pink tint which I love. For those days when I’m time poor, Klorane dry shampoo is a god send. I use Guerlain terracotta mineral bronzer. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, a great lash curler, and a Bobbi Brown shimmer brick for special occasions.

What skincare advice would you give to new mothers this winter?

Yes Beware of age spots when your hormones are going crazy. Wear hats, sunscreen (even in winter) and use a great night cream. Keep your lips moist and protected with Carmex. Try and start the day with hot water with lemon. Eat as best you can (your skin will thank you for it) .Include good fats in your diet like nuts, oily fish and avocado. Exercise when you can, a good sweat really helps your skin remain clear.

Be happy!

Which facial features do you like the most on your own face?

Look I don’t really give it much thought! My husband say’s my eyes.However, when I’m wearing Carmex Moisture Plus he would say my lips...

What is your own personal take on “aging gracefully” Do what makes you happy! I think the most beautiful women in Hollywood aged gracefully with little to no work. They all look unique rather than all having the same look. Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren are all gorgeous ladies. If you do want to get some “work” I think people should bring old pictures of themselves in so they look like themselves 5 years ago. I think it looks strange when someone completely changes how they look for the worse. Huge lips and weird cheeks aren’t my thing!

Tell us your top tips about creating a simple and realistic “everyday” winter beauty routine?

When you need to get out of the door in five minutes, its moisturizer, sunscreen, concealer just where you need it, bronzer, Carmex lip balm and a bit of mascara.

Which five beauty products would you recommend to Australian women as winter makeup bag staples?

Carmex lip balm, I’m obsessed, I have some with me wherever I go. I find I especially need it in winter. Skin Doctors Gamma Hydroxy, you can see the difference to your face after one application, it gently exfoliates and reduces pigmentation. Skin Doctors 30 plus Supermoist moisturizer. Finally, Yves Saint Laurent touché éclat pen to correct any evidence of a late night!

EDITOR REVIEW

PAULA’S CHOICE Formulated by skin care expert Paula Begoun, women across the globe are loving the this amazing beauty & skincare range... Our editor Yasmin finds out why.

If you have watched my Paula’s Choice video then you know that I’ve been a big fan of Paula’s since reading her book ‘Don’t Go To The Cosmetic Store Without Me’; so I was pretty excited to road test her skincare & make-up range, and see how it worked on my skin.

One of the things I liked the most when looking at this range was the sheer amount of products available for different skin types. I have combination, sensitive, rosacea prone, de-hydrated skin which means skincare is usually a minefield for me as there are certain ingredients I have to avoid and products are generally either too drying or too moisturising for my skin type, so I find it great to be able to mix and match the Paula’s Choice products to suit my skin. All of the Paula’s Choice products are also 100% fragrance-free & contain no dyes or coloring agents, which make it even more beneficial in healing problem skin.

When it comes to cleansers, I want one that will gently cleanse my skin,

not leave it stripped and if possible, also remove my eye make-up. Luckily for me, the Skin Balancing Oil-reducing Cleanser did exactly all that and more. It has a light lather that removes excess oil, reduces enlarged pores, removes makeup (including eye make-up) and soothes the skin.

I used to be a big user of toners, but somewhere along the line I fell out of the habit, but using the Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner has reminded me why I love to tone. I have to admit I was scared of the words ‘Pore-Reducing’ as it sounded like this might irritate my skin but it ended up being the complete opposite. The alcoholfree formula helps reduce redness, flaky skin and contains anti-oxidants and plant extracts to balance and soothe the skin.

I suffer from a type of Rosacea commonly called Acne Rosacea, which means when I am stressed or use products that are too harsh on my skin; I get patches of breakouts so the CLEAR

Extra Strength Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution was my favourite product from the entire range. This nonirritation solution prevents stubborn breakouts and fades red marks, unclogs and shrinks pores, reduces inflammation and redness from acne and greatly improves skin tone while the Salicylic acid exerts a mild antibacterial action against acne-causing bacteria.

Since using this product my breakouts have diminished, the red marks on my skin have faded and I’ve been told that my skin is glowing (a compliment I am unused to).

This is the product that I now cannot go without.

During the day I tend to get quite oily, but the Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Mattifying Concentrate Serum left my skin feeling matte all day and it worked perfectly as a primer. If I was wearing foundation, this is all I would use as I moisturising base.

Even though I am combination skin, and if I am not wearing make-up I like a deeply hydrating moisturizer.

Over the top of the serum I used the Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream at night time and during the day if I was make-up free I used Moisture Boost Daily Restoring Complex which contains a sunscreen and as a bonus left my skin glowing.

At work I liked to wear minimal makeup, so the Barely There Sheer Matte

Tint SPF 20 was perfect. It evened out my skin tone, didn’t look or feel caked on and didn’t make my skin an oily mess.

For a lip, instead of wearing my usual go-to tinted lip balm, I used the Perfect Shine Hydrating Lip Gloss in Bubblegum which hydrated my lips like a balm but had the look and shine of

a gloss while the pink gave a pop of colour to my low maintenance office look.

If you have troublesome skin like mine or if you want to check-out a no fuss skincare range that just works, I’d definitely reccommend giving Paula’s Choice skincare a try!

What secrets are you hiding this season?

Beauty Secrets 1 Blush that lasts

5 Striking Lips

2 Perfectly Lined Lids

6 Luminous Matte Skin

How-to: Keep your blush in place all day & stop it wearing off by layering. Apply a cream or gel blush & then apply a powder blush in a similar shade over the top.

Editor’s picks: Revlon PhotoReady Crème Blush & Revlon Powder Blush

How-to: If you have trouble using liquid, create tiny dots with your liquidliner first, then trace over your lashlines for a precise finish. You can also use a pencil eyeliner first as a guide then trace over it with your liquid liner.

Editor picks: Couleur Caramel Black Liquid Eye Liner & Lush Emotional Brilliance in Independent

3 Luminous Hair

How-to: Keep hair looking shiny, bright & luminous by using a shine enhancing shampoo & conditioner and using a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove any build up that can cause dull, limp hair.

Editor’s picks: KMS Silksheen Shampoo & Conditioner & KMS Hairstay Clarify shampoo

4 The Undone Pony

How-to: Apply a texturising product to the hair at the roots & rough up your hair to create volume.

Next, section off the top section of hair up and pull the rest of the hair back into a tight ponytail.

After the hair is in a ponytail, undo the top section & rake it back using your fingers and integrate it into the ponytail. Finish with hair spray.

Editor’s pick: KMS HAIRSTAY medium hold spray & KMS Hairplay playable texture

How-to: Make your pout stand out even more by using a highlighter or light coloured concealer around your mouth.

Editor’s pick: LUSH FEELING YOUNGER & REVLON Revlon PhotoReady Eye Primer + Brightener

How-to: Velvet, matte skin is the latest trend to hit the runway but sometimes the no-shine look can leave your skin looking a bit dull or flat. The trick is to prep your skin with a luminising primer or lotion before applying foundation, so a subtle sheen peeks through your makeup. After applying your foundation, finish with a dusting of illuminating face powder on your high cheekbones, above the brown & a tiny bit on the nose.

Editor’s picks: Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator & Revlon PhotoReady Translucent Finisher
