South African photographic make-up

Your mom can look picture perfect every day with local beauty expert Hannon Bothma’s newly launched professional and hypoallergenic make-up range — Hannon Faces: “My intention was to create a range capable of having the staying power and coverage necessary for film and photographic work, but also suited to being applied with a lighter hand for everyday use,” says Bothma.

There’s a colour for your mom in the range of super-moisturising and long lasting Colour Blend Lipsticks (R80) and Cosmetic Gel Pencils (R75).

Specialised anti-ageing treatment

Every mom wants to stay young. Make her day by giving her the award winning anti-ageing treatment from Elizabeth Arden called PREVAGE®. It’s a cosmeceutical formula that has quickly become one of the most sought after anti-ageing products in the world. Or, if your mom is still quite young, give her an Elizaberth Arden Intervene product — the ingredients will help to help ‘freeze’ her beautiful looks for longer.

Anuva haircare cosmeceuticals

Unlike conventional cosmetic hair care products, Anuva is a treatment line created with active anti-ageing ingredients at high concentration levels. Anuva products are true cosmeceuticals* designed to treat the signs of ageing of the hair and scalp.

*The term ‘cosmeceutical’ is derived from the combination of two separate words — ‘cosmetic’ and ‘pharmaceutical’.
