Dr Hauschka Renovates Your Lips

December 13, 2017 by turquoiseavalon

~ Dr Hauschka Lipsticks, Sheer Lipsticks and Lip Glosses ~ First up is the most exciting and accessible part of any makeup look – the lips. I love that, although eye shades and cheek shades are great to play with and can say various things, we can change our mood and appearance immediately and drastically with a simple change of lip colour. It was sometime this year I noticed that my body’s tolerance for chemical lipsticks had reached breaking point. […]

Introducing.. the Weekly Makeup Roundup

November 11, 2017 by turquoiseavalon

As you may have heard, in this, the fiftieth year of the of the unique skincare company founded by Dr Rudolf Hauschka and Elisabeth Sigmund in 1967, a new baby has been birthed into the world – in the form of a remarkable and far-reaching updated Dr Hauschka Make-up collection. To me it feels like a real revolution, the quality and variety alone being more than capable of helping the makeup industry to reach that vital tipping point – down […]

Bright Eyes

May 28, 2017 by turquoiseavalon

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you; for the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” Roald Dahl, The Minpins While, I have heard, it is apparently sexy in France to have dark under eye circles, I’ve always considered looking tired and worn out to be entirely the opposite of sexy, and hence the concealer industry has made more than its fair share of […]

Spectacular Spectacular

September 1, 2016 by turquoiseavalon

So, given that my fangirl status of the Dr Hauschka Eyeshadow Trio, in its original incarnation as the Dear Eyes Palette was no secret the first time round, I was eagerly looking forward to experiencing its magic once again as part of the aptly named Spectacular Comeback limited edition range. Very rarely, if ever, do I hit pan on an eyeshadow palette, but it happened with this one as the colours are just so wearable. I found myself reaching for it […]

The Dr Hauschka eye experience

July 17, 2016 by turquoiseavalon

It is a truth universally acknowledged that eye cream is pretty darn important. Well, amongst women over the age of 20 and who are not yet octogenarians, anyway. And so for most women, there is an ongoing hunt.. wading through the bombardment of products, sorting the preposterous from the possibly effective from the totally useless and always looking for the elusive holy grail that will confer eternally fresh-looking, unpuffy, line-free eyes. By the time you’ve been in the market for […]

A Renewed Foundation..

January 21, 2016 by turquoiseavalon

Having used the previous Dr Hauschka Translucent Make-up as my everyday basic staple for years, I was extremely interested to hear about the development of Dr Hauschka’s new Foundation. Being literally the only makeup on the market that I could wear on a daily basis while still having completely happy skin, the old Translucent Make-up was, as its name implied, beautifully translucent and also beautifully able to blend seamlessly into the skin. This did however mean that it was a lighter coverage foundation […]

The New Way, at the Dusk of the Corporate Age

August 18, 2015 by turquoiseavalon

In nature, there is no part of the whole that is not important. All parts are equally necessary and valuable in order for balance and harmony to be achieved. Products which nurture and support the ecosystem from which they were made and on which we all ultimately rely, then, it logically follows, are the only way to support a healthy continuation of life. And as much as our modern industrial system attempts to deny it, we do, every one of […]

Conversation with Virginia Bowers

Originally posted on Dr. Hauschka Australia Blog:
Virginia Bowers How did you first hear about Dr. Hauschka Skin Care? “I first learnt about Dr. Hauschka in 2004, while I was researching recommendations on the internet for natural treatments for my very sensitive skin. It was midwinter in Melbourne and my skin was dry and irritated. Through years of sitting in the makeup chair and in various climates, my skin had gone through these stages before and I’d never really found…

Mhoo Mhoo – keeping it classic, simple and local

January 4, 2015 by turquoiseavalon

Sitting in the makeup chair and not needing to be conscious of lines or performance nuances always feels like a sort of fun day of getting to dress up and hang out; and for the last two years I’ve done campaigns for artisan brand Mhoo Mhoo, which are just a joy to shoot. Run by very sweet & talented mother and daughter team Helen and Alice Scotts, Mhoo Mhoo creations are completely timeless – there are pieces in each collection […]
