HB- What’s your best hangover beauty cure?
HH- I go for something unscented if I feel crook, like Keihls Ultra Facial Moisturiser, or maybe some crushed up codeine made into a face mask, lol.
sk- hydration is your best friend so after a discover shower (where you scrub from head to toe and discover crevices you didn’t even know existed) try splashing some aesop parsley seed face serum maybe mixed with a couple of drops of their fabulous face oil, the serum has an aloe vera base so is deeply hydrating and will calm any redness- also keep a hydrating mist like mario badescu in the fridge and spritz hourly while watching your fave reality teev show.
HB- Whats your best supermarket/drugstore beauty hack ?
HH- I like using paw paw ointment as eye cream or egyptian magic if i am feeling fancy. Also obsessed Witch Hazel.
sk- agree with harriet, witch hazel is fantastic for cleansing and minimising pores- and the price is right! I would also add an original dove beauty bar to the list-honestly works wonders as a face cleanser.
HB- What has been your biggest beauty blunder over the years?
HH- Definitely my shitty white goth foundation in high school & fugly eyeliner.
sk- yeap, bad eyeliner for me too oh and straightening my (naturally very curly) hair!
HB- Who is your beauty muse?
HH- Probably the hot women I hang out with IRL
sk- hmm i would have to say a cross between josephine de la baume (for her effortless french sexiness) and joan jett.
HB- Who does the best mani/pedi in Melbourne?
HH- Definitely La Belle on Johnston Street, Fitzroy. They do a good brow tint too.
sk-eternal nails and beauty at northcote plaza, the quality and price is great and you can pop in and get a deganis coffee to have while getting pampered.
HB- Who have you been told you look like?
HH- Courtney Love
sk- shanon doherty (with a pixie crop)
HB- What’s your personal scent?
HH- I love using the Aesop original scent deodorant as perfume, and I also love “Sexy Witch” by Demeter, both of these are cheap options too
sk- i love the this works range at mecca- their skin deep beauty oil is devine and i reapply throughout the day- it also mixes well with the tom ford perfume range such as grey vetiver.
HB- What are 3 products you cant live without?
HH- It Cosmetics 50+ CC Cream, My Parlux Advance Light Hairdryer & a decent brow product like the Hourglass Arch Brow Expert or the “gimme brow” by Benefit
sk-a good cleanser, like the dermalogica one ideally used with an automatic face brush such as the olay version which actually spins around (as apposed to the clarisonic that just buzzes), a go to daily face moisturiser. at the moment im using endota spa spf 50+ daily defence cream as a base before applying foundation- its a god send for sensitive skin.
HB- Which celeb has the best work done?
HH- Kylie Jenner
sk- i feel like jennifer lopez simply doesn’t age, it’s insane.
HB- Favourite Lipstick
HH- Any Dark red/brown/mum vibes
sk- im into just a clear gloss or for a bit more of a dressy look im liking the glossier, generation g matte lipstick in ‘jam’ which is a red berry colour. hot tip you can buy any cosmetics from the usa all you need to do is create an account with australian post called shopmate. they set you up with your own usa shipping address and forward on parcels!
