Bare Essentials

image: intothegloss

This post will revolve around two of my favourite things at the moment: Lily Aldridge and pulling off the 'make-up free' look.

Lily, seen above with her sister Ruby, has joined my list of girl crushes. Her flawless complexion, exotic features and sunny disposition makes her a welcome addition to the model circuit.

And it's her beautiful, make-up free skin that leads me to my second goal- perfecting clear skin, that which is without a lick of make-up.

My goal at the moment is to prepare my skin for my trip to bali and the upcoming summer, so that all I may need is a sweep of mascara and a lick of lipstick. It's probably the hardest look to get right; beyond any complex night look. It's all about the base. 

And it all comes down to maintenance; using the correct products- a good cleanser, skin-suitable exfoliant and a hydrating moisturiser, so that I one day may glow like Miss Aldridge.


My products of choice at the moment are: Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel, Dermalogica Thermafoliant and Dermalogica Skin Smoothing cream, finished with Endota Rosehip oil and Burts Bees lip balm.

inside the glass cabinet





So I tried to do an 'Into the Gloss' style bathroom cabinet snap, however my 1970s bathroom really isn't conducive to stylised shots!

It's become clear to me that I have 3 beauty obsessions- MAC, dermalogica and OPI...but I'm trying to be more open to other brands!
