Yves Saint Laurent has launched the ultimate hybrid lip product – Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres. The revolutionary new Glossy Stains offer the perfect partnership of high impact glossy shine and vibrant, long lasting colour. Housed in a luxurious black and gold rectangular tube, the angled doe-shaped applicator with a tapered tip allows for precise lining and filling of the lips to create the perfect pout. I was expecting a…
Sleek Lash Out Mascara
There’s nothing like lashings of ultra black mascara to make you feel glamorous. Sleek’s new Lash Out mascara promises to lengthen and volumise lashes, so if you like your eyes dark and dramatic – this one’s for you. The retro neon packaging isn’t to my personal taste, I prefer something a little more chic, but packaging doesn’t bother me in the slightest when I love what’s inside and this has…
Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick – Baby Pink
Is this not the most beautiful baby pink lipstick you’ve ever seen? The appropriately named Baby Pink is one of four new shades to grace the Clarins signature lipstick collection. Part of the new Colour Breeze Spring Makeup Collection, this pale pink delivers a perfect posy pout. I adore how luxurious the packaging looks and feels – everything from the weighty, silver tube to the Clarins logo embossed on the…
Barry M Peachy Pink Lip Paint
Continuing on with my reviews of previously unloved Barry M Lip Paints, here’s Peachy Pink (no. 147), a beautiful peachy coral shade which is perfect for spring to pair with the pastel trend! Barry M can be a bit hit and miss with their Lip Paint formulas, and unlike Dolly Pink and Cerise Pink, Peachy Pink is quite drying and less creamy which is a slight letdown as it’s such…

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching so if your other half is in need of some hints as to what to treat you with, this MeMeMe Goddess Collection might just be the perfect gift for a beauty fan. The collection of bronzed products are nestled inside a gorgeous gift box which could be reused as storage for makeup or jewellery items – always a bonus! The box includes: Shimmer Stack A…
Christina Aguilera Secret Potion
I can’t resist a feminine fragrance so when I read about Christina Aguilera’s Secret Potion perfume, I knew I’d love it. It’s described as an Oriental floral blend, opening with passion fruit and citrus notes of lemon and mandarin, settling into a warm heart of jasmine, orange and white lotus whilst the musky base notes include warm amber, tonka beans and ebony wood. The bottle is as girly and youthful…
Barry M Cerise Pink Lip Paint
Another lipstick treasure found in the depths of my makeup collection. Barry M Cerise Pink Lip Paint (no.144) appears as a deep burgundy shade in the tube but translates to a beautiful pink berry shade once on the lips. The formula is just as lovely as Barry M Dolly Pink Lip Paint – highly pigmented, easy to apply and leaving a satin sheen. It also lasts an impressive of amount…
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation
Boujois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation is my current favourite foundation. If you want healthy, glowing skin in an instant, this foundation delivers it. Light on the skin with a silky gel texture, it buffs and blends beautifully into the skin resulting in the perfect balance between dewy and matte. As with all my foundations, I use my Sigma F80 or ELF Studio Kabuki Brush to apply for a flawless…

This one smells delicious and does a fantastic job of keeping my lips soft, nourished, moisturised and protected. L’Oreal True Match Powder To keep my foundation flawless all day.

Barry M Dolly Pink Lip Paint
Whilst rooting around in mymakeup collection the other day I came across Barry M Dolly Pink Lip Paint (no.146), a long forgotten unloved lippie from a few years ago. I’m guilty of being a stuck in a rut when it comes to lipstick, I favour nudes and pinks over bright colours but since daring to wear red lipstick I’ve been more adventurous when it comes colour. Rediscovering the aptly named…
