Introducing Stacey Banfield one of New Zealand’s most experienced and recognised makeup artists within the wedding industry. We are delighted to have Stacy regularly contributing to Together Journal on all things beauty. Stacey has a holistic approach to beauty and believes in working on and in investing your health and skin and leading a happy and healthy life for the very best beauty results. For our first beauty and wellness feature with Stacey, we are talking about our favourite serums. Rather than overwhelm you with a high number of serums (there are so many on the market!) we are starting off with four of our favourite products which both Stacey and members of the Together Journal team have used extensively and can truly give an authentic and favourable review on.

We love nothing more at Together Journal than seeing a strong, ethical and effective local brand taking on the world and succeeding. Emma Lewisham is overachieving on all fronts with her cult-status products; her serum, in particular, has won worldwide accolades against some of the biggest brands for performance. Its clean, ethical and take it from us, it delivers. Our editor Greta has been using it for three months and it’s staying firmly in her beauty stable as an all-time favourite serum. Read about the products below and the beauty-circle initiative which is a world first, we are feeling very proud of this New Zealand beauty brand and its founder!
