New Make-up line by Dolce & Gabbana

Exciting times, the much loved Dolce & Gabbana are set to launch a make-up line with the beautiful actress Scarlet Johansson being named as the face.

“We see makeup as another thing for women, like a dress. We worked on the makeup line like we work on a clothing collection — you can change makeup like you can change your clothes, depending on your mood,” Stefano Gabbana told WWD on Friday.

There is going to be a selection of lipsticks, nail varnishes , foundations, mascaras and eye shadows. I can see the line being highly successful if they take inspiration from there fantastic clothes and fragrance collections.

You will have to be patient though the launch is not until Spring!

It sounds amazing to me and I can’t wait to try it!

Humorous beauty products

When it comes to our beauty regime we all like to take it seriously but thanks to Soap&Glory we can now have a bit of fun with it too!

This brand is a wicked range with humorous names for there beauty products from Marcia Kilgore, the creator of the Bliss spa range. The names of the products are highly amusing a lip plumping gloss is named Sexy Mother Pucker, Clean On Me shower gel and One Night Tanned, self tanning cream.

The packaging is retro pink and grey with black and white 60’s inspired pictures and different slogans on it.
I am a bit of a sucker and fall for packaging, especially anything pink and pretty, so I simply bought these just so they would look cool on my bathroom shelf!

I come across the range in Harvey Nichols but you can also purchase from the larger Boots stores.

Treat a loved one…..

Treat that special someone in your life to a Joe Malone candle – you will be In the good books for life!

Ok so the price is a little steep at £80 per candle, yes that is the right total not a keying error, but is so worth every penny.

I was not lucky enough to get one bought for me so I treated myself to one and I absolutely love it. The smell is delightful and really relaxes me. I light it most evenings and it is still going and everyone always compliments the smell. The good thing with Joe Malone candles is that the holder is elegant and simple and looks lovely anywhere in your house.

The entire Joe Malone collection is amazing but this is just perfect and by far the best purchase if you want to unwind after a busy day in bath with a scrummy smell.

Vanity Cases

If like myself you have hoards of make up and beauty products and dread staying out for a night as you have got to lug all your collection around then you have to buy a vanity case. I bought one at weekend and it is an absolute god send!

I bought a pink, aluminium case and it has plenty of storage and trays for all your essentials…..cleaner, toner, moisturiser, eye cream, sunscreen, foundation, concealer, mascara, eye shadow, lipstick, lip gloss, hair products, perfume, ect.

You can buy vanity cases from most stores from Argos to Selfridges.

Keep cool in the office

If your skin is suffering from overheated or dry office air you should try Evian’s cool mist it revives your makeup throughout the day, and keeps you looking fresh by replenishing that much needed moisture. You can use this after applying your make-up, all you need to is hold at arms length, and give a light spray over your face and the job is done.

Perfect for those hot summer days!

Dainty Doll Has Arrived!

For all you fair skin women out there look not further Dainty Doll has now arrived. This is the much hyped range designed for women with fair skin created by Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud for Jelly Pong Pong. Designed for girls with the same pallor as Nicola, the item must have is the foundation.

This collection is already so hot that it is selling out fast so girls you have to be quick!

The products in the collection feature use of grapeseed oil to nourish skin, so not only is there fabulous and unique color pay-off for fair-skinned sweeties, but skincare benefits as well. The collection:

Perfume

What I notice with perfume is that you can smell it on someone and it smells really good, you go and buy it for yourself and it smells completely different. So annoying!!! When perfume shopping always take a trusted friend with you for there opinion, I usually spray on my wrist leave it for 15 mins and go back to buy it if I still like the smell as it is so hard to make a decision when you instantly spray as it is to strong.

Everyone has a “trademark scent” and I always go for Gucci Rush at weekends, most of my friends wear this fragrance and it smells lovely on everyone. I have been wearing it for years now and have no intensions of changing. It’s a really feminine scent without being to heavy and overpowering. It suits all ages so I would definitely recommend this perfume if you are struggerling to find one.

Ambre Solaire Bronzer Self Tan Body Wipes

With summer coming up and the skirts coming out the wardrobe, i thought it was about time to start with the fake tan. I have found the Ambre Solaire Bronzer Self Tan Body Wipes in Boots on special offer at a bargain price of £1.59.

The lightly tinted cream helps you see where it has been applied so there are non of the usual streaks.

Shimmer even without the sun!

If your not going away on holiday this year, fear not!!!

Don’t hide away under your winter hoodies and baggy jeans just because you haven’t caught the golden tan you would if you were jetting off, instead check out the Lancome website and have a browse through the sun makeup for face and body!!!

This is a fantastic range which offers fake tan to face bronzers.

I especially like the star bronzer bamboo powder.

This is a unique duo of pink and gold shimmering powders that can be custom blended to suit your skin.

You could go for just the gold to give you that sun kissed tan, or maybe you want to opt for the all over illuminating tan. You can do this by mixing the gold and the pink together.

The great thing is it keeps your skin feeling perfectly natural too!

Don’t miss out and buy yours today!!

Liquid Eyeliner is the Best!

I never use to be brave enough to try liquid eyeliner because my hand is not that steady when applying make up!! But i recently bought a silver one from Rimmel and it really wasn’t as hard as i thought, quick dry so there is less time for you to smudge it!! Ha!

I have now bought one in black too i think they make your eyes look really sexy and sultry a must have for party nights!!
