Fresh as a daisy

Good Morning Sunshine! Oh, feeling a bit tired today and you think it shows? You are not alone my friend, but worry no more. We have something wonderful that will fix you right up, all shiny and new. Ready to tackle the weekend with dewy glowing skin!
The fact that us gals (and guys!) at the Wellington Wedding Show and Mr and Mrs Magazine are fond of Antipodes products is an understatement. We totally adore their gorgeous beauty products, with lush natural deliciousness embodied inside each and every vessel. We use them religiously and swear by them, we aren’t kidding you! So of course now that something new and fabulous for our skin has hit the shelves, we are all over it like dieters on a box of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. But it’s not just humble folk like us that are devotees, Evangeline Lily (of Lost and Hobbit fame) is a huge supporter of Antipodes, claiming the products “take years off your face”. And that’s saying something, when a star who has access to the world’s best and finest products touts our very own NZ brand as one of the best. We totally agree of course, after all I’m really 94 but everyone tells me that I don’t look a day over 35. Must be the Avocado and Rosehip Faceoil! But rather than me telling you what I think, hear it from the horse’s mouth (a very glamorous horse of course). Below is a press release from the mothership herself, and boy oh boy, if you aren’t racing out to get yourself a shiny new pot of Mineral Foundation, then I will be highly surprised!
ANTIPODES MINERAL FOUNDATION
Healthy, flawless, hydrating & skin-perfect
Bestow a healthy, flawless, hydrating and skin-perfect appearance with fine-textured foundations that not only smooth blemishes and pigmentation flaws, but also help actively improve the health of your skin. Antipodes® Performance Plus Mineral Foundation with SPF 17 features Vinanza Performance Plus® which is scientifically shown* to improve skin health by decreasing trans-epidermal water loss, leaving skin moist and hydrated. It also decreases the excessive melanin production that causes freckling and pigmentation, and reduces undesirable redness or
facial flushing.
Vinanza Performance Plus® is naturally extracted from vitamin-rich New Zealand kiwifruit and Marlborough-grown grape seeds, which contain up to double the levels of polyphenolic antioxidant compounds compared to grape seeds grown anywhere else in the world.
As a base, Australian earth minerals such as kaolin, zinc and titanium are finely ground into a soft, easily applied powder, which can be lightly dusted onto freshly moisturised skin. Natural tones to suit all skin combinations are found in the colour range of pale pink, light yellow, medium beige and tan.
As a complement to the make-up’s perfect matte finish, Antipodes® recommends recommends Performance Plus Skin-Brightening Mineral Finishing Powder. This translucent powder maximises the foundation’s lasting-power by dulling unwanted shine and disguising open pores. Through the addition of jojoba, which closely mirrors the skin’s own sebum natural oil, skin is left fresh-looking and glowing with health.
Antipodes®’ range of lightweight foundations is suitable for all skin conditions, including normal, oily, blemish-prone and rosacea. Apply regularly throughout the day and evening in conjunction with the core essentials of the Antipodes® Scientific Natural Make-up™ collection.
