Top Five: Fashion Week lifesavers
The fashion season is nearly over and we're feeling a mixture of sadness and relief, because fashion week is hard work! Shows, parties, late nights spent writing up copy all conspire to make you look rougher than ruff. I'm going to rundown a few of the products which helped me survive fashion week looking semi-presentable.
First up is Tsi-La's organic mini-eau de parfum set which we featured in a Valentine's Day video recently. The five different perfumes are the perfect size for your handbag and don't clash with your skin like ordinary perfumes do. They range from the fresh and green Kizes and my favourite Kesu which is a heady, exotic floral aroma. Having a quick sniff of the delicious scents on my wrist helped chill me out a bit from all the catwalk stress! (£55 from Puresha)
Bliss' Steep Clean was just the thing to freshen up my dull, tired complexion I've been using it for a while but it really came into its own during Fashion Week helping to deflake, purify and smooth out my face. (Bliss, £32)
Dermalogica's Super Rich Repair is another product we've featured before on K&M and it's rich vitamin enriched formulation came to the rescue just when my skin needed it most. I slathered on a layer before bed and in the morning I could (almost!) pass for someone who'd had eight hours sleep! (Daily Grooming: £34.76)
When it came to taking all my slap off Vaishaly Face Wash for normal combination skin by brow maestro Vaishaly Patel worked a treat, removing all the day's grime without drying or irritating. Plus the facial massage techniques in the accompanying leaflet helped to get my skin glowing. (Vaishaly: £35)
Lastly, my olive colouring comes with serious dark circles and Benefit's Lying Eyes concealer gave me the coverage I needed without any of the annoying reflective particles that don't suit darker tones and give me reverse panda eyes. (Benefit: £16.50)
