AUTUMn IS THE PERFECT TIME TO FOCUS On REnEWAL
AnD RECOVERy BETWEEn THE TWO ExTREME SEASOnS
AnD ALLOWS yOU TO PREP yOUR SKIn FOR THE
HARSHER CLIMATE AHEAD.
Autumn generally brings about a dryer and cooler climate which
can flare up rough, dry and dehydrated skins. It is important to
keep skin adequately hydrated and protected. Ensure you drink
enough water to keep cells plump and youthful and enrich your
body with nutrient dense plant based foods to give your skin the
lit from within glow that nothing else can!
Use a gentle cleanser that will not strip your skin of natural oils.
One with a creamy feel to it is often more delicate on the skin.
Our Balancing Cleanser is the perfect option.
The previous warmer seasons may have resulted in skin cell
build up so it is important to exfoliate gently. Avoid anything too
harsh and try to allow the product to do the work for you rather
than scrubbing away at your skin too aggressively.
Keep your skin pH balanced to allow your serums and moisturisers
to properly penetrate and nourish the skin.
Skin tends to require slightly richer moisturisers during the cooler
months. Step things up a notch if you have been using
something light over the summer. A good one to try would be
our Essential Hydration Cream – great even for sensitive skins.
Keep protected even during the overcast days. Sunscreen is still
an absolute must. All year round!
Repair any summer damage with the use of a weekly mask to
refresh and revive hyper-pigmented or photo-aged skin and
stimulate skin cell renewal. Our Liquid Gold Smoothing and
Perfecting Mask will have your complexion looking plump and
renewed in no time.

pigmentation, sun damage and acne. Having quickly become
a cult hit with beauty writers, make-up artists and clinicians, Liquid
Gold subsequently went on to become a multi award- winning,
global best seller.
For 15 years, Liquid Gold has been the bridge between the
beauty counter and invasive treatments. This award-winning

this milestone which captures the essence of the product and
the love affair it inspires in its’ customers.

MOIStURISE: There’s no point having a plump
pout if your lips are going to be dry and chapped.
Keep your lips moisturised by using a good quality
lip balm. Even pure organic coconut oil does the
trick as an overnight salve!
FRaME: Firstly, take a lip pencil in a shade slightly
warmer than your natural lip colour and frame the
outline of your lips to give them dimension and shape.
Take the pencil just outside your natural lip line to
create a trick of shadow, making your lip shape
appear fuller.
BLEnD: Once you’re happy with the shape you’ve
outlined, gently blend the pencil inwards into your
lips with a small brush so the effect remains natural
looking.
HIGHLIGHt: next, apply a very light pink-toned lip
pencil or a cream concealer onto the central area
around your upper and lower lips, making sure
not to go over the lip line you’ve already applied.
This sneaky trick creates the illusion of light and will
make your pout look extra plump. Similarly, adding
a touch of pearlescent highlighter or eyeshadow to your
Cupid’s bow will further accentuate your pout.
1. PREP yOUR POUT
2. L InED LIPS
3. IT’S ALL In THE DETAIL
COLOUR: Lip colours close to your natural lip shade
tend to work better than darker hues. It ensures that
when the colour wears off you are not left with the
dark outline. But, if done well this look is totally
achievable, just don’t forget to top up your colour!
Use concealer or a lighter colour to create an illusion
of light. Using a small lip brush, blend the lighter
colour through the centre and outwards slightly – so
it merges seamlessly into your lips. Think of it like
contouring/highlighting your lips. This should result
in a natural looking yet gorgeously voluptuous pout!
GEt GLOSSy: Finally, finish the look with a slick of
an ultra-hydrating gloss focusing on the centre of
the lips to accentuate the highlighted areas.
4. ADD LIPSTICK
5. L IT FROM WITHIn
Keep your lips smooth as silk by treating dry, chapped lips to a gentle exfoliation with the Alpha-H Rapid Results Gauze! Just don’t rub too hard - let the texture of the fibre cloth do the work for you.

WHAT HAVE yOU BEEn UP TO SInCE THE SHOW?
Since the show I’ve been concentrating heavily on my work and
studies. A bit of fun and travel here and there but this last 1.5 years
I have focused on my career, moving overseas and goal setting.
WHAT IS yOUR FAVOURITE ALPHA-H PRODUCT?
That’s like asking me to choose my favourite child! I have a top
5 and I refuse to leave any out. Protection Plus Daily SPF50+,
Micro Cleanse, Absolute Eye Complex, Multi-Perfecting Skin
Tint and of course my Liquid Gold. But that’s just my top 5,
there’s plenty more where that came from.
WHAT ALPHA-H DID yOU TAKE InTO THE HOUSE?
We were limited to a very small amount of luggage for 3 months.
However I was sure to pack my Liquid Gold and Liquid Gold
Intensive night Repair, along with my Absolute Eye Complex.
WHAT ARE THE KEy ESSEnTIALS In yOUR MAKEUP BAG?
My ultimate must-have’s would have to be a good sunscreen,
bronzer, lip balm and mascara. The Alpha-H Multi-Perfecting
Skin Tint is the perfect handbag essential too for quick on-the-go
touch-ups!
IF GIVEn THE OPPORTUnITy AGAIn TO EnTER THE HOUSE
WOULD yOU HAVE DOnE IT?
yes absolutely, now I have learnt the ropes of reality TV I’d love
to go in and experience it all again. It’s insanely chaotic but
such an experience. One I will always treasure.
WOULD yOU BE THE nExT BACHELORETTE?
Part of me would love to for the excitement and adventure but
another side of me honestly couldn’t deal with rejecting people
at rose ceremonies.
DO yOU THInK yOUR RELATIOnSHIP WOULD OF LASTED
WITH TIM IF yOU WERE THE GIRL THAT RECEIVED THE LAST
ROSE?
yes it’s possible. I respect Tim a lot as a person and think he’s
lovely to spend time with so it could have definitely lasted.

Veil your skin in a soft pearlised glow:
BECCA SHIMMERInG SKIn PERFECTOR $48 | adorebeauty
Lit from within: A subtle fresh-faced glow never goes astray. Highlight a lightly concealed complexion with a light dusting of soft pearlescent powder to complete a naturally flawless base.
Dark lips: The cooler months ahead are the perfect time to inject a bit of warmth into your look. A velvety
dark lip adds mystery and sophistication when done right. ‘Marsala’ is the colour of the year after all!
Brown Eyes: The 90’s are back! Don’t take this too literally or you may end up more spice girl than sultry.
Look for soft matte tones and blend well for a seamless, polished look.

THE LOB
the Lob: The biggest trend of the season has to be the lob. Seen everywhere right now, this updated look features blunt chopped ends with loads of texture. Get out the scissors! (maybe leave it to the pro’s)
Warm it up: Warm tones work so well through autumn months, whether you try a warm cinnamon or piece
through a few hand-painted highlights, keep things caramel.
Woke up like this: Effortlessly chic ‘just woke up like this’ hair lends a casual cool vibe to any look. A little messy
texture works on almost any hair length. Salt sprays, texturising powders and soft hold spray are your new BFF’s.
Coloured hair needs care! Try this rich moisturising cream that intensely softens the driest of hair.

autumn home decor
Autumn calls for added texture, warmth and comfort. Create a
cosy reading nook full of trinkets, collections and inspiration.
There are plenty of sources for inspiration from interior design
blogs, as well as home decor websites like houzz and zanui.
Add layers throughout a space with patterned rugs, carved
wooden tables and chairs, leather and faux fur textiles within
chairs, cushions, throws.
The addition of a few quirky yet visually compelling coffee table
books adds character to any living space. Tell tales of adventures
past or cast the net wide to open up endless possibilities and
dreams. The scope of your library is limitless!
The current trends have a heavy focus on recycled or re-purposed
materials. Add detail to shelving through rustic metal cages,
baskets, glass bottles and apothecary.

InGREDIEnTS
1 C. Raw Peanut Butter, smooth
8 Dates (Medjool, if possible)
1½ T. Raw Honey (or Agave for Vegan)
1 T. Coconut Oil
¼ t. Salt
1 T. Coconut Flour
1 recipe Chocolate Coating
InSTRUCTIOnS
Add the peanut butter to a high powered blender or food processor. Add the dates, one at a time and process together with the peanut butter until smooth. Add the honey, coconut oil, and salt and process until blended. Stir in the coconut flour with a rubber spatula until well combined. Mixture should be thick.
Using a 1 Tablespoon scoop, scoop out even portions of the mixture onto a non-stick mat or parchment lined baking sheet. Roll each portion into a smooth oval and flatten slightly into an egg shape.
Freeze for 30 minutes.
Dip each egg into the chocolate coating. Spoon the coating over the top of the egg, making sure that it is completely covered in the coating. Tap off excess chocolate and place back on the lined baking sheet. Because the eggs are so cold, the chocolate should harden almost immediately.
Repeat with remaining eggs.
Store in the refrigerator.
Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs
RAW CHOCOLATE COATInG:
4 T. Raw Cacao Powder4 T. Coconut Oil2 T. Raw Honey
Place the cacao powder and coconut oil in a small, microwave safe bowl. Place in the microwave and heat JUST until the oil begins to melt slightly. you don’t want it to be completely liquid, just runny enough to mix in with the cacao powder.
Mix the cacao powder and coconut oil until well combined. Mix in the honey. Mixture should be liquid enough to use as a dipping chocolate, but not so runny that it pours off of a spoon. If it is too thick to use for dipping, place it back in the microwave for a few more seconds. If you accidentally over-do it, put the mixture in the fridge to chill. Stir every few minutes until it firms up to desired consistency.
Use for coating peanut butter eggs. See peanut butter egg recipe for dipping instructions.
