Last night the brightest stars of Australian TV graced the red carpet for the 65th annual TV Week Logie Awards.
7NEWS was front and centre seat to witness all the glitz and glamour that takes place, including some last-minute ‘tricks’ to get the Channel 7 entourage red carpet ready.
Thanks to Amazon Australia’s ‘box of tricks’, a few famous faces were able to pick out some essentials for the night, including Morning Show host Larry Emdur, who surprised everyone by making a last minute move on the carpet.

Delving into the goodies, he traded in an item of his own in favour of something a little more minty fresh from the Amazon box.
“Want in on my box of tricks?” red carpet host Sally Bowrey says.
“Because I always want to be considerate for my Seven friends.”
“Okay I’m going to swap you,” says Larry, before revealing his ‘trade’: a mini bottle of whisky from his back pocket.
Placing it inside the box, he then picked up a packet of Eclipse sugar-free mints — a must-have for any red carpet event.
“Actually no,” he remarks before taking back the bottle, and picking up another pack of mints, this time a multipack of Oral Care Strips from Listerine.
Doubling up on minty-fresh saviours — a smart move from Larry.
But he wasn’t the only one to take advantage of Amazon’s box of tricks on the Logies red carpet.
Weekend Sunrise hosts Monique Wood and David Woiwod were also keen to get in on the action.
“This is my bag of tricks to help you out on the red carpet,” says Sally.
“You need those,” David says to his co-host, holding out a packet of Listerine Oral Care Strips.
“Obviously, you need these,” Monique replies, holding out a tin of sugar-free Eclipse mints.
Woiwod agrees, popping a few mints from the Eclipse tin into his mouth before continuing down the red carpet.

DuCare Oil Blotting Sheets for the Face, $11.19, Amazon Australia
The ladies aren’t the only ones needing a quick blot before hitting up the red carpet.
Many of our favourite stars, male and female, were quick to try out the DuCare Oil Blotting Sheets for the Face ($11.19; Amazon Australia).
Made with 100 per cent natural linen fibre paper and Green Tea, these fragrance-free blotting papers are perfect for sensitive skin as they work to remove excess oil and sebum — without causing irritation.
The best thing about these blotters is you don’t need to do any wiping.
Instead, just hold the paper against your cheek, forehead or chin and just two seconds later, your skin is far less oily to the look and touch.

Compeed Mixed Size Blister Plasters, $11.25, Amazon Australia
We’ve all been there.
The shoes look SO good, but you just know they are going to cause a blister or two if you have to walk more than 10 feet.
Enter Compeed’s Mixed Size Blister Plasters ($11.25; Amazon Australia), a saviour both on the Logies red carpet and red carpets around the world.
We saw more than a few women hiding these underneath their stilettos before heading out to face the music.
With deep cushioning to relieve pressure and prevent painful rubbing and hydrocolloid gel technology to create an optimal healing environment for foot blisters, this Compeed product really stops blisters in their tracks.
The handy box is small enough to fit in a clutch bag or pocket, and there are several different sizes depending on the size of your sore spot.

Last but not least, where would almost anyone be without fashion tape to hold those gravity-defying dresses and thigh high slits in place?

Available in 15mL and 30mL tubes, the stylists were going through tub after tub of this in the final checks before the stars headed into The Star itself.
