Being a busy PR girl, I adore those saviour products designed for on-the-go moments. Between my PR role and this beauty blog, I am often rushing off post-work to events and so therefore carry a fair few beauty staples in my handbag. I now have a new favourite which is one of those rare finds that once you have it you wind up wondering how you ever functioned without it! This is the Silver Bullet Mini Moods hair straightener with a delectable, stylish look (available online from www.i-glamour.com).

 Another handbag essential for me is the Borne Naked Handbag Liner. Made from clear plastic, they come in various different sizes so that you can keep all your bits and pieces together, find them with ease and swap between your favourite handbags in seconds.

My winter scarves are now out for the season as the coldness has slowly kicked  in here in Sydney. Waiting for the bus the other morning I noticed how dry my skin had become and realised that my winter skin woes had oficially begun. When I arrived at work that very same morning there was a glossy pastel yellow bag awaiting me on my desk and it seemed that those good people at Vaseline had read my mind. Inside was a giant-sized tub of their classic Vaseline Dry Skin Conditioning Lotion with the promise that my skin would be provided for throughout the colder months. No more dry skin for moi! Along with this legendary lotion, I have picked out some of the best winter skin savers for body, hands and face that will keep your skin soft and supple though winter.

Benefit have surpassed themselves  with their latest  ‘kit’ offering, which brings together a palette of their greatest products in a mini survival-esque box. When this arrived at my office last week the girls all squealed with delight when they saw  it! Slide off the peachy sleeve and you open up the concealaholic kit like a fairytale book, with pretty products lined up inside, a cute framed mirror and the promise of a happy ending! You litterally can’t wait to pick up the brushes and begin playing. 

So here’s a run down of what’s included:

Benefit Lemon Aid is a yellow cream that’s ideal for concealing upper lids and creates a smooth base for applying shadows.

Benefit Boi-ing is a miracle concealer! It has a dream texture and hides the most tired eyes (comes in two shades).

Benefit Eye Bright is a pink cream formula that brightens the area around your peepers.

Benefit Erase Paste is a super-pigmented concealer for hard-core cover-ups! Great for an emergency spot break-out!

And finally Benefit That Gal is a fabulous face primer for waking up fatigued skin.

In addition to this, there are two dual sided brushes that deserve a mention: they are labelled with what they are intended for so that you don’t have to worry about dipping in lemon aid with your boi-ing covered brush. Clever, So clever!

RRP: $68.00 *available 18th April 2010 from KIT stores nationally
