Caudalie French Kiss Tinted Balms
Sweetly flavoured and scented but not sickly so, the French Kiss balms from Caudalie are a perfect makeup/ skincare hybrid. The balms launched last September but with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it would almost be rude not to treat yourself to one (or all of them if you’re really feeling the love). The balms are available in three tints- Innocence, Seduction and Addiction – which add a flush of colour and a slight glossy finish while protecting and caring for the lips. INNOCENCE, a natural pink, is infused with the scent of vanilla and orange peel. SEDUCTION, a subtle pink, is vanilla scented. ADDICTION is inspired by a…

Benefit They're Real! Red On Lipstick
The latest lippy offering from Benefit claims to be universally flattering so I was keen to get it on my lips, like, yesterday. Thus far, the title of the perfect red lipstick has belonged solely to my beloved Mac Ruby Woo (it truly is universal in it’s flattering abilities) and I was interested to see how Red On would measure up. First up, Red On is presented in an entirely different way to what we’ve become accustomed to when it comes to lipsticks. It comes in a pot complete with kitsch embossed lips and it’s very own little brush to apply it – quite a controversial move, packaging wise, considering…

Mac Dita Von Teese Lipstick
MAC released the Dita Von Teese Lipstick last month to celebrate the launch of the Burlesque beauty’s new book – Your Beauty Mark. I quite like Dita Von Teese and I really like MAC lipsticks so I accidentally ordered it just before Christmas in an eggnog-induced moment of compulsion. The lipstick is a vivid, bold, beautiful red that pretty much screams Pin-Up Girl and is basically a lot of fun to wear. A matte formula, the lipstick stays on and lasts pretty well – though not as well as my beloved Ruby Woo for some reason. That stuff just does not budge. I wore Von Teese to a wedding on…

Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar Reveal #21
Monday the 21st of December reveals a tube of Surratt Lipslique in shade Hevyn. I may have already dug this out when the calendar first arrived because I was absolutely desperate to try it. It’s unlike any lipstick I’ve tried before – it feels smooth and hydrating but it’s impressively long lasting. Hevyn is a soft rose nude shade, a perfect colour choice to include in the advent calendar. The Lipslique is £22 at Liberty.

MAC Velvet Teddy Review
My colleagues very kindly gave me a MAC gift voucher for my 30th last month and to be honest I had no idea what goodies to spend it on. I must have spent a good few hours on the MAC website on my phone, just pondering what products to go for. Am I the only person who has a harder time spending gift cards than actual money?! I haven’t been in a MAC store for so long and lipsticks are really one of those things I like to try in person before handing over any cash. That said, Velvet Teddy is so raved about online and is a neutral shade…
