Here Are Our Beauty Editors’ Top Picks from Our Labour Day Sale

Natural Beauty Favourites

As we enter spring, it’s time to take things back to basics and make the most of the last few months of the year. Simplify your skincare and beauty routines with some natural favourites, all of which are free of harsh chemicals and other nasties.

Want makeup that delivers gorgeous pigmentation and performance without that thick, heavy feeling? Thankfully, mineral makeup brand Inika have you covered–and they’re on sale for the weekend, with 15% off across the brand. Although every Inika product is a total gem, one big hitter in the range is the Inika Mineral Foundation Powder. This weightless, non-comedogenic mineral powder provides sheer yet buildable coverage without any of the harsh ingredients you may find in other foundations. Add in SPF 15, and you’re ready to take on the summer season.

Tap into the healing power of New Zealand-native ingredients with Antipodes, a globally-adored range of natural skincare and makeup. A favourite amongst our beauty editors is the Divine Avocado and Rosehip Face Oil, a nourishing serum that will help to ‘lift’ skin by providing a boost of powerful antioxidants. Avocado oil prompts collagen production for younger, more elastic skin, and also works to eliminate scars, pigmentation spots and more! This should be your new go-to, no matter your skin type.

Balance out your skin with the intuitive range of skincare from Ayurda, which has origins rooted in ayurvedic medicine. Take a few bucks off their beloved trial programmes, each of which features four products that will last you 21 days, allowing you to find out which products work best for your skin type. Previously $199, these are only $169.15 for the weekend!

Bloggers adore this brand, and our editors agree–The Balm is definitely the affordable makeup brand of the moment, and it’s creating waves in the beauty industry! One product every girl desperately needs in her makeup bag is the Meet Matt(e) Trimony Eyeshadow Palette, which is comprised of a versatile mixture of matte hues.

Give your locks what they need with Mop, a natural haircare brand known for its tailored product ranges and cult-like following. There’s five different lines, each of which has been uniquely designed to suit a specific hair concern. Go for the Mixed Greens range for intense hydration, or the Basil Mint collection to revitalise and balance out your hair and scalp. Those with limp, lifeless hair will adore the Mop Lemongrass Lift Root Spray, a volumising mist that will help plump up your locks for that modelesque look. It also imparts shine and aids with styling!
