Hot weather!
50 posts, 14 members
We have had some gorgeous weather lately! I went from wearing pants and long sleeved tops to singlets, dresses and sandals. It got me thinking what things do you do to prepare your body for the hotter weather? For me it was defuzzing my legs and giving my feet a pedicure. I also like to start doing full body scrubs, last night I made a simple sugar scrub to get me started :-)
The only things I change from winter to summer are to give myself a pedicure (I can’t be bothered painting my own toes during the winter months when they’re hidden in socks and boots), and to exfoliate my legs and start using a gradual tanning lotion. I also switch to a lighter night cream in summer, but pretty much everything else in my beauty routine remains the same.
The thunder and lightening just arrived in Wellington in time for the kids bedtime, so my glitter toes are hidden in fluffy socks and we're going to settle in and watch the movie Elf ..... let's hope this weather is just winter being stubborn and having one last tanty.... hopefully the sun bathes us all in the next few days and weeks!
Well currently im doing IPL so shaving and then that and its truly working!! Loving it. Ill be tanning my pasty white legs soon and changing my deo to a hardcore one.
Id love to wear more dresses but i have no idea where to buy nice ones! I found one nice one in my lifetime and they bloody well closed the store here. R u d e.

Yay for laser hair removal as that makes the transition from winter to summer so much easier. Otherwise I was having to shave every second day. I've also been using sunscreen all year round since discovering Mecca's To Save Face. I'm going to brave the mall next week to treat myself to a pedicure as it always looks much nicer when someone else does it rather than doing it myself.
Whatever you do, don't buy a bikini from an instagram ad like I did lol. It was a panic buy before I went to Samoa in July. I now know that the Warehouse stock swimwear all year round, as do Farmers. I usually get swimwear from Kmart but they don't stock it all year round. I noticed it's all on sale atm.
I've bought Femme de la mer swim wear a couple of times now, online - they're an Australia store. Their swimwear actually celebrates curves and boobs and they're really flattering styles. I buy their Tankinis and just stick to a pair of plain bikini bottoms so I can mix and match. I like the fit and the shipping is quick, quality good and they always have 50% off :)
I've been skipping foundation lately because I could get away with just the Eco Tan tanning water which has been fantastic. Other than that - a primer is a must for me if I use foundation, and I love facial sprays, and use them through the day whether I wear foundation or not. The Only Good one is lovely and seems to work well as a 'setting' spray.
lol my life in auckland and in asia....
I use mattifying powder, and setting spray. I have minis of the GlamGlow one in my laptop bag and my handbag bc it's a sneaky, easy way to refresh your face. I have a primer i adore but i don't use it on my t-zone which helps stop the oily monster there.
I also opt for small pops of bright colour via eyeliner etc instead of full looks which can look super messy super fast in the heat.
Today, for example, I have a simple animal print sleeveless top and high waisted pencil skirt on for a school visit, matched with eyes done mostly with black pencil and a pop of gold liner, pink red lips, powder to set, powder blusher, highlighter and bronzer, and a top of the glamglow spray and my face has stayed intact all day

Skinfoods cucumber face mist is awesome when my skin breaks out - seems to have healing properties so I don't feel my spots are so 'red' looking ... Love that spray! The muggy weather is the pits - Wellington is the same but with misty rain as well, so my beautifully straight hair style is quickly crazy curly by lunchtime at the moment - and there's no amount of product or hairspray to save me!
