Christian Louboutin Lips/More Than Just Make Up

The story started with a stroke of red nail polish over two decades ago, over the years Louboutin has realised his passion for elegance on women's feet, nails and lips.
Following on from the huge success of his first step into the beauty world last year Louboutin has just released his second product to the beauty range.

38 Lip Colours, in three different finishes: Velvet Matte at the far end of the scale, Silky Satin that’s super glossy and an in-between finish of Sheer Voile.

Of course the collection features the iconic red, to ensure your lips nails and soles match perfectly.The classic red's are encased in the iconic black cases and the other colour shades are housed in gold. 

In true Louboutin style even the lipstick casing is something of a piece of art, more spike that bullet shaped, and they are each of a different texture depending on the finish of the product. Adorn yourself too as you can wear them as necklaces.....

You’ll want to clear some room in your make up storage or on your dresser, and ensure you have some cash in your bank, at £60 each they are pricey but I cant help but be obsessed with them.

Shop the collection right now over at the Louboutin website and exclusively online at Selfridges, you'll also be able to shop the ranges at Louboutin Boutiques nationwide now!

Masque Bar/Review & ***GIVEAWAY***

Masque Bar* is a Korean brand that's being brought to the UK exclusively by Boots, you'll be seeing them pop up on the 'Latest Finds' stands nationwide. 

I love a pamper evening, a face mask is a cost effective way to feel relaxed and to treat yourself at home. Masque Bars are fantastic value for money first and foremost, which lets face it (excuse the pun) is what we all want from our beauty products. They come in boxes of three and the packaging makes them perfect for popping in your bag and taking away, on holiday, for the romantic hotel getaway or even a sleepover with the girls.

Masque Bars come in different formula's, 3 to be exact, sheet, mud and creme.And they cover all manner of skin concerns, anti wrinkle, anti blemish, pore refining, and for brightening. 

 

 I've been reviewing the pore refining mask as all of you will know I am most conscious about them. This one is a creme formula and feels really nice on the skin.This particular one is a thick creamy consistency almost like a sumptuous body lotion, and it applies easily due to the creme texture.


I left it on for the full 20 minutes and didn't experience any tingling or heat, and it didn't set to feel tight and uncomfortable either.  I then removed mine using a hot cloth and warm water, although you could wash it off in the shower.

The infusion of raspberry extract, lemon and vitamin e certainly made my skin feel refreshed and more importantly actually shrunk those pesky pores!

I would say if you have sensitive skin the only thing that may irritate would be the fragrance content but otherwise these are packed with some impressive skin goodness. All the masks promise to leave the skin feeling refreshed and hydrated and I can honestly say I'm genuinely impressed by how hydrated and plump my skin feels.

Check out all 4 varieties on the Boots.com website, they retail at £9.99 for a box of 3.

Masque Bar have kindly given me a box to run a giveaway to one of my lovely readers, simply enter in the box below....

Benefit/They're Real Push Up Liner & Remover

Say hello to the game changer. 

Benefit's latest campaign is all about teaching women worldwide that applying your liner is #criminallyeasy I adore the prison theme Benefit have focused on for this campaign as the orange and black packaging ties in beautifully with the 'They're Real' packaging, something that Benefit never cease to get spot on, and you know I really enjoy sleek packaging and eye catching design, Benefit always get these things so right. 

This fool proof liner pen has been in development for 5 years, and they have worked really hard to bring a product that excels in the land of liner. The team at Benefit have looked at liners over the years, the gel liner pots, the pencils, and the tip liners and the end result is this, a world first, this lash hugging pen features a revolutionary AccuFlex™ tip, meaning fool proof application ,even in the back of a cab on the way to that all important event.

Its the tip that really makes this product so special, it consists of a 'soft custom angled tip' allowing you to draw an easy line even on the curved surface of the eyelid, the 'flat wide guard' gently pushes your lashes aside  allowing you to really get in along the lash line, and finally the 'wide base' which aids in a steady application. This concept allows for greater control and stability in application, which in turns means your far more likely to obtain a much more precise result.

Just like the best selling mascara in the range this has incredible staying power, it really doesn't budge when it's been applied, it wont flake or dry out and stays colour true all day long. The matte finish  of the liner looks so sleek and really professional. 

Of  course with staying power usually means painful removal, but Benefit even have that covered, the other new addition to the 'They're Real' family is the 'They're Real' Remover, this is a really creamy formula and it makes light work of dissolving the liner and the mascara off the eyes gently but very effectively.
The release date for this one hasn't yet been announced but keep your eyes peeled as I'm sure it wont be long!

With a whopping 30,000 people on the waiting list don't miss out on this sure to be a sell out liner, head over to Boots.com right now, or head over to the Benefit websiteYou'll want, ok you'll need all three
