Beauty SPOT

  Presenting 5 Great Beauties.

From a magic nut oil that adds luster and shine to tired hair, to a vitamin E loaded organic moisturiser created by the newest talent in Organic skincare, here are 5 hot new products we know you'll be ridiculously impressed by (as we were!).

Stem Organics.

Ethical, natural, holistic. There has always been a list of sensible reasons to go organic with skincare. But sensual? Hell yeah! We're not the first to notice that organic products are undergoing a most glamorous revival. Helped along by the two equally glamorous founders of Stem Organics, the proof seems to be in the organic pudding. US beauty lovers have been lapping up all that Melbourne born Stem Cosmetics have to offer, and for good reason. Free radical, age fighting antioxidants in; petrochemicals, dioxins and gm's out.
Hydrating Face Fluid: Organic Macadamia, Shea & Vitamin E: $59 for 50ml at stemorganics.com or from Myer from 27 August 2007.

OjonŽ Restorative Hair Treatment

Not one to be persuaded by a rant, well not normally that is. But when two blocks later my friend was still nattering on about this cool new hair treatment I broke down. "Okay!" I said, "I'll give it a go!". Made from OjonŽ palm nut oil extracted from ojon nuts, which (rather romantically) are found in the remote tropical rainforests of Central America. The beautiful thing about this treatment is it's 100% organic. The practical thing is that it's every bit as effective in restoring body to tired hair. Ojon penetrates the hair shaft, leaving no greasy residue. You can apply to dry hair for just 20 minutes, or before you go to bed, and shampoo out in the morning.
OjonŽ Restorative Hair Treatment: $78 for 150ml. Find at DJ's and selected salons from August. 1800 004 507.

Kevin Murphy Body.Guard

Jokes about Kevin Costner and a certain film are really best left right here. Moving right along then we're pleased to announce that straightening junkies have a new dealer. Kevin Murphy has created a de-frizzing heat protector that's best applied before attacking your crop with either blow driers or straightening irons. Big Kev's found that Peruvian Bark adds moisture to damaged or colour treated hair. Vitamin E and Hydrolysed Silk Protein strengthen and add shine. Fast forward through the boring bits to find straight and shiny hair which maintains body, without the grease.

Bloom Sheer Matte Lipstick

Dita von teese has a lot to answer for. All of it good. Some of it expensive. But that's another story. The arrival of Dita's perfect pout has hailed the comeback of the matte lipstick (oh how it lasts!). Though gloss may have filled the fast glamour need of girls on the go, for those serious about sultry lips and big impact, it's got to be matt. Define your own perfect pout with a long lasting colour from Bloom

Aviva Labs Spray Tan

If you've been through the dedicated ritual of fake tanners, sitting nude for hours and hours while it sets, here is a little relief. Aviva Labs are offering a spray tan service with a tanning product with a real difference. This tan sets in mere minutes, so you can get dressed (in loose fitting clothing), and head back to work after about 20 minutes. Plus, the smell is so faint, that no one need know your little secret. The product is made from natural products (the active ingredient is derived from Sugarcane) and the lasting colour is as impressive as other more smelly options.
