Advanced Night Repair
Last month I was lucky enough to nab one of the coveted tickets to the How To Get Into Beauty event at Marie Claire’s London HQ. In association with Estee Lauder, the event was essentially an intereractive seminar featuring Marie Claire’s Beauty and Style Director Lisa Oxenham, Estee Lauder’s Communications Manager Anna Rozelaar and Global Makeup Artist for Estee Lauder, Alan Pan. The event was interesting, informative and above all, lots of fun as Lisa and Anna gave guests invaluable insider advice and Alan did a fantastic makeup masterclass using Estee Lauder products. After being inspired beyond belief by these fabulous people, we were reminded of the goodie bags waiting patiently under our seats…

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation
Bonjour! So yesterday I was down to my last dregs of foundation and figured I’d better hot foot it to the nearest beauty counter or risk small children mistaking my face for an extremely realistic Halloween mask. I had a magazine sachet sample of Diorskin Forever, which I promptly fell in love with, but alas- I just can’t justify spending big bucks at the moment. I’ll be honest – I am a bit of a foundation snob,and though I’m yet to find my go – to brand/ formula, when it comes to a face base, I’d rather visit Selfridges than Superdrug. Over the years I’ve used many high end brands from YSL to MAC and Lancome…

Lipstick I love: Infrared by Topshop
Ok, so I’m a self confessed lipstick fiend. When I bought my first tube of Chanel Rouge Allure in Passion a few years back, I practically beat myself about the head for not discovering the joys of lipstick earlier. To this day, I have trouble comprehending why women don’t just wear the stuff all the time! It’s bloomin’ amazing and leaving the house without a slick of it is akin to going out minus shoes, or your rollers still setting in your hair. Well that’s a blatant exaggeration, but my point is I love lipstick – hence the name of my quaint little site. 🙂 Because I’m such a lipstick menace, I thought it…

HIGHBROW EYEBROWS
I have a confession to make – I’m a little bit obsessed with eyebrows. Not in a creepy, full blown fetish sort of way, I just really appreciate a perfect arch! The shape of your brows can totally change your face – accentuate your bone structure and enhance the shape of your eyes, so of course I’m going to be keen to take care of them 🙂 Years ago, back on the Gold Coast in Australia I had two defining eyebrow moments – having a complete brow makeover by the Coast’s eyebrow expert Caroline Fox ( trained by Hollywood’s Queen of Brows, Anastasia Soare), and interviewing Amy Jean of Amy Jean Eye Couture at Palazzo Versace.…
