First of all let me just say, you are all looking very lovely today. You nomads are a bunch of hotties! But hey, even perfection needs a little maintenance right? So, what if I told you that we have a goodie box for you, full to the brim of products to top off your gorgeous. Keep reading ladies, have we got a treat for you!
Over here at City Nomads we are filled with love for Zalora.sg. Since their launch they have been on a mission to inject a bit of fabulous into our wardrobes, but the latest development in the Zalora.sg epic takeover is their beauty department which means not only can we look amazing top to toe, but we can also smell like heaven and have skin smoother than a baby’s bum. Yay!
With their carefully selected products which range from beauty cult classics like Black Chicken (seriously- skin. soooooo. smooth) to candy-packaged delights MOR, that look like they belong on Marie Antoinette’s dressing table, Zalora.sg has your beauty needs taken care of. And here are just a few of our favourites.
BLACK CHICKEN
Black Chicken is an oddly named -but don’t let that put you off! – Australian skincare brand. The oil is 100% natural with no parabens or sulphates (those are the nasties that scientist-looking dudes tell you are bad), it smells a-mazing and will make your skin all velvety and strokeable.
“The combination of 12 remedial oils are carefully selected to provide deep long lasting moisture to nourish skin and mind. These include Avocado oil, rosehip oil (good for wrinkles and stretch marks), Hazelnut oil to help tone and tighten the skin, Sandalwood essential oil which is great for stress, Lavender oil for sunburn so can be a great aftersun oil that helps to prolong your tan not to mention Vitamin E to help maintain cell integrity!”
Black Chicken products start at $90 for the Love your Body Oil.
ANATOMICALS
‘We only want you for your body’ say Anatomicals. Well, that’s A-ok with me! Zalora just launched Anatomicals on Monday (keeping our eye on the ball people!) and now stock their shower gels, body lotions and scrubs, and lip balm, all of which are highly affordable, fun and effective too. Each product has a witty name and description on the packaging, making your early morning beauty regime slightly more humorous, and first thing in the morning we could probably all do with a little cheering up. These brightly packaged, sassy facilitators of beauty make a great addition to your bathroom and put a smile on your face. Happy Days.
Prices start at $4.50 for a Lipbalm, $6.50 for a Body Lotion or Scrub and $8.95 for a Body Cleanser.
MOR
MOR is a line of divine skincare, spa and body products that will look beautiful on your dresser and leave you smelling like an angel. If you don’t enjoy smelling like a sweet, delicious marshmallow then this might not be the product for you (and as a side note, seriously…what is up with you?) but if you do, and I do, MOR is perfection. With their delish concoctions of bath and body products and girlish, vintage-inspired packaging, MOR equates to serious pampering and delightful, extravagant luxury.
Prices start at $16.50 for a Lipbalm, up to $45 for a 500 ml Hand & Body Lotion.
These ingenious little boxes from Apothecary are the newest and most innovative way of providing aromatherapy benefits. The unique essential oil blends are infused into the special “Aroma Beads” located in the base of the “sniff box”. Simply open the lid, place directly under the nose and take a few deep breaths to receive the benefits. Whether you’re looking for a soothing, comforting & calming blend of Lavender, Chamomile & Neroli in SLEEP, or an “energising” blend to help “awaken” and refresh your senses in FOCUS- Bergamot , Lemon & Cinnamon. These handy little mobile apothecary kits will awaken your senses and have you feeling right as rain in no time.
The sniff box is priced at $16.90.
Manuka Honey is renowned for its healing properties, so The Great Barrier Island Bee Company had the fabulous idea to turn it into wonderful beauty products to repair and nourish the skin. The source is Great Barrier Island, off the coast of Auckland and home to New Zealand’s pioneering beekeepers dating back to 1880. In addition to pure Barrier Island Manuka honey, this line contains highly beneficial products such as sweet almond oil, beeswax, shea butter, propolis, and royal jelly. Products contain no parabens or synthetic colors and ‘they are only tested on local Great island humans!’ who for the record are a smooth skinned bunch with all the correct number of fingers and toes!
