I love a multitasking beauty product – one that performs a dual function. Below are my current favourite multitasking beauties for face, nails and the body.
The Clarins Tinted Oleo-Serum R695 (BUY) is a hybrid that combines a serum and lightweight foundation in one.
This tinted skincare serum combines mineral pigments with nourishing dry oils of hazelnut and organic jojoba. Plant derived Squalene provides comfort, while ceramides protects skin from dehydration.
The fluid texture melts into the skin, leaving the complexion with a natural and radiant glow, without any shine.
Apply 2 drop for a natural glow, 3 drops for an even and glowy complexion, or 4 drops for fuller coverage.
I like applying mine with a brush, sweeping outwards, but you could also use a small wet sponge using a light tapping motion.
It’s the perfect combination to a flawless complexion combined with effective skincare.
Clarins Tinted Oleo-Serum is best suited to normal to dry skin types.
Did you know: The average woman swallow around 1.8 kilograms of lipstick in her life. It was this research that inspired the NOVEXPERT researchers to create Lip’Up – a product of 100% natural origin.
Lip’Up R400 (BUY) is a true beauty hybrid – part makeup, part treatment. This anti-ageing lip treatment volumizes while intensely nourishing lips. The formula has a slight tint and imparts a subtle veil of colour to the pout.
How to use it:
As a treatment: Apply Lip’UP, leave on for 15 minutes, then apply lipstick.
For a glossy lip effect, apply lipstick first, then finish with Lip’Up
You can use Lip’Up 3 times a day. In the morning, once or twice during the day, & in the evening.
Tip: Make your own lip scrub by applying a dab of Lip’Up onto your lips, add a little sugar with your finger and massage lightly (use fingers or your toothbrush). Rinse with cold water, dry, then apply Lip’Up again.
I love how the Lumi Glo The Dewy Glo Face Mist R275 (BUY) leaves the skin glowing! The hard-working formula performs multiple functions like brightening, hydrating and calming the skin.
There are ingredients that soothe and hydrate, brighten, calm redness and protect against environmental damage. Hyaluronic acid has been added to give this mist a moisturising boost.
Apply the mist onto clean skin before applying serums or moisturisers. You can also apply the mist throughout the day to revive the skin and it works well to set makeup too.
In my opinion, the OPI Nail Envy formula is the very best and most effective treatment for damaged nails.
I LOVE that Nail Envy is also available in various shades like my favourite neutral pink, ‘Bubble Bath’ R480 (BUY) – combining a nail treatment with colour!
Nail Envy is THE product I turn to after a Gel manicure because it works so well to strengthen my nails. The formula contains hydrolysed wheat protein and calcium that transforms weak, brittle & damaged nails making them stronger, longer & harder.
To use, apply 2 coats onto clean, dry nails ensuring cuticles pushed back. You can apply an additional coat or 2, should you need to touch-up. After 7 days, remove formula & reapply. I promise, you’ll notice a HUGE improvement in your nails after about 10 days.
Bio-Oil is a true cult beauty product that you’ll find in many a bathroom cabinet worldwide.
I LOVE the formula because it’s a true multitasking beauty and it’s so well priced too at R269,95 for a 125ml (BUY)
It contains PurCellin oil, Vitamin E and a low dose of Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate).
Use it it on the body to treat dehydrated skin, scars and stretch marks, or on the face as a facial oil. It helps with the appearance of uneven skintone & can improve the appearance of wrinkles & fine lines.
Bio-Oil is also great at moisturising cuticles, to soothe skin post waxing and prevent ingrown hairs, & can be used as a bath oil.
Thanks to its lightweight & non-greasy texture, Bio-Oil can even be used on the hair to tame unwanted frizz.
The Skinny Tan Notox Beauty Elixir R439,95 (BUY) is the multitasking serum of my dreams! Imagine a serum that smooths and plumps the skin, while a built-in gradual tan adds radiant, healthy and natural looking colour. That’s the Notox Beauty Elixir.
Formulated with Stoechoil (naturally derived from Lavender) this innovative, multitasking serum targets facial expression lines for increased firmness and a visible reduction in wrinkles in as little as 10 days!
The ingredient Liftonin targets facial expression lines for an instant anti-ageing and skin tightening effect. Skin loving Vitamin E nourishes & soothes.
To use, apply two pumps to clean skin daily.
I like using mine at night, but you can also use it in the morning before applying your makeup.
Notox is Veagn & suitable for all skintypes.
Here’s my favourite multitasking beauty for all of you who prefer products formulated with 100% natural ingredients.
The Eco Diva DivaGlow Shimmer Lips, Cheeks, Eyes R190 (BUY) is infused with superfoods, antioxidants and an edible shimmer.
This luxurious balm adds a natural shimmer to the lips, cheeks and eyes. It provides natural UVA and UVB protection while feeding your skin with essential vitamins, omegas and antioxidants.
It’s a great option for those seeking a 100% naturally formulated alternative to bronzers or highlighters. It literally is ‘clean’ enough to eat!
It’s a favourite among many makeup artists I know and is also vegan, organic & safe to use during pregnancy.
And, the 10g tin is small enough to carry in your pocket. I LOVE it!
