Beautiful History: Lips of Luxury

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
 

It’s not often I wish I’d been to a packaging conference, but in the instance of Luxe-Pack, a luxury goods packaging exhibition in Monaco, I really so do. Because, perfume and cosmetics history expert, Jean-Marie Martin-Hattemburg, (and that is some double-barrelling going on there) curated the Lips of Luxury Exhibit showing [...]

Woohoo Shu! Amazing HandMade Lashes

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger

If you love Shu Uemura lashes then you’ll adore these handmade, very limited edition ones made from real leaf skeletons and washed with gold to work a very edgy look. They are at www.beautyexpert.co.uk along with other fabu-lashes and a selection of Shu skin care and make up. Lovely.

Guerlain Eclat Imperiale Sublime Radiant Powder

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger

I’ve been meaning to post about this gorgeous shimmer for weeks, but it keeps getting pushed to the back of the pile, which it shouldn’t. It’s a super-silky powder in a retro-style bottle with puffer that expels the most delicate mist of glitter I’ve ever seen. I hate glitter chunks - [...]

Why Is Pureology Shampoo So Good?

Submitted by Beauty Brains Blog
Karen is inquisitive…Can you kindly explain what makes Pureology shampoo feel so much different than anything else I’ve tried? I’m guessing it’s not the botanical infusion!
The Right Brain responds:
Good guess, Karen, the difference has nothing to do with green tea or sandalwood. It’s all about the cleansers and conditioners.

Dessert Essence Organics :: New Coconut Collection.

Submitted by Organic Beauty View Blog
It seems as though every day we get news of another ‘great new this’ or ‘fabulous new that’, and we’ll be the first to put our hands up & gleefully admit it makes us just as excited as the rest of you to be in the know, to hear of [...]

Edward Bess: We Need You!

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
 

I’ve wanted Edward Bess products to come to the UK for oh, an age now, ever since I bought a couple of his lipglosses in New York and lusted after the EB Lipstick Wardrobe. Sadly, so far he has resolutely kept his gorgeous collection in the US. This seems very unfair [...]

I’ve just heard that gorgeous LA brand NYX is heading to Harrods next week and can be found in the Way-In department. NYX is one of the fastest growing USA cosmetic brands, with innovative and beautiful looking products, and famously known for their HUGE everything-in-it beauty palettes.

Thigh High Boot Lipo: Now I Know We’ve Gone Mad

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
Just had a press release through flagging up a ‘new’ SmartLipo treatment (a form of liposuction, where fat is surgically drained from the body) called Thigh High Boot Lipo and it promises to hoover up ‘calves, fat ankles or chubby thighs’ in order make your thigh high boots look nicer. Chances [...]

The Review: Oribe Hair Care

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger

I was sent Oribe Signature Shampoo and Signature Conditioner to trial, which I’ve now done, and think I’ve finally found something to rival my beloved Ojon. I loved both the shampoo and conditioner; the shampoo for being light and ultra-cleansing, and the shampoo for being luxuriously slick and for rinsing out [...]
