That Old Chestnut: Lipstick That Makes Your Teeth Whiter

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger

Poppy King’s recent release of Butterfly Ball Lipsticks is catching everyone’s attention - her lipsticks are always lush and lovely. This time around, I’m disappointed - it’s such an old, old trick to add hints of blue to the formula that give teeth the illusion of looking whiter..Benefit did it way [...]

Chanel Gift Set

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger

Just spotted this cute little gift set on the Bergdorf Goodman website..and it’s only $50…this one’s a gift that looks way more pricy than it actually is. I’m hoping we’ll get something similar in the UK (I will check) but more thinking maybe its time to visit New York.

She’s Back: Jo Malone

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger

Since selling the Jo Malone brand to Estee Lauder, Ms Malone has been mighty quiet. Now she’s turning her hand to a 4 show series where she acts as guru and mentor to entrepreneurs by using her skills in marketing and branding to help the wanna-be’s succeed in turning ideas into [...]

Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes Collector Set

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
 

Very, very desperate to get my hands on this lush set of 25 Aqua Eyes liners. Aqua Liners are famous for their long-last formula and waterproofness (is that a word, I wonder?). Liners are my thing, but this set is a Sephora exclusive in the US only. Torture, I know.

Here We Go Again…

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
Regular readers of this blog will remember that way back in the day, I wrote this anonymously. Quickly (ish) realising that I’d never get any decent information that way, I had to have a rethink. In the intervening period however, I was outed twice - once by a social media specialist [...]

What’s In A Name? EVERYTHING!

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger

I have just come across this fragrance from the creator of mineral make up line, Bare Escentuals whose name is Leslie Blodgett. Now, I know you can’t do much about the name you’re landed with, but I’m not so sure I’d have it plastered across a perfume bottle unless it was [...]

Back To The Scene of Crime

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger

Remember when I wasn’t ‘allowed’ to feature a Marc Jacobs fragrance item because it was subject to embargo so did a (rather brilliant…ahem) drawing of it instead? Well, here’s the real thing at last, the Marc Jacobs Lola Ring, containing a solid version of his new Lola fragrance. Not sure if [...]

Watch This Birdie: ReVive Limited Edition Box

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
 

ReVive Skincare is huge in the states..I even noticed LibertyLondonGirl giving it a stamp of approval via Twitter today. While it doesn’t get quite the amount of attention it deserves in the UK, I think this amazing presentation box might just bring it to the fore a bit more. Designed by [...]
