The Ultimate Nude Lipstick

Finding that perfect "nude" lipstick is like finding the perfect foundation or mascara -a real makeup bag staple for women and makeup artists the world over. And once you find the one that makes your lips feel luscious (one which doesn't sit in the cracks of wintery chapped lips like so many nude lipsticks tend to do), one that makes you look younger/fresher and one that goes with whatever eye makeup look that takes your fancy, be it a smoky Brigitte Bardot look or simply a slick of mascara and liner- you'll never want to be without it!
I do believe I may have found all of the above and more besides. With it's pure olive oil and vitamin E the Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Pèche by Laura Mercier glides on like silk and leaves lips beautifully soft,well hydrated and the colour is so flattering. It makes you look softer, fresher and is the perfect accompaniment to a cat eye makeup look and more natural looks equally.
The pigment is good without looking chalky or overpowering and it is just the right shade of nude with a peach undertone which would be flattering on women of all ages and most skin tones.
The packaging is sleek and glossy and most certainly a very welcome edition to my makeup kit.
Snap one up for yourself at any Laura Mercier counter in John Lewis, Fenwicks , Space NK or House Of Fraser for 20 of you Great British Pounds and you'll be mighty glad you did.

Get into Spring with glowing skin!

My lovely mummy who is a bit of a skincare junkie like me recommended I try this radiance inducing Rose Otto mask by Dr Organic. I have to say I am really impressed with the results- it leaves my pores non existant and refined and gives my skin a gorgeous glow as soon as I remove it. It's the best mask I've tried in a long time and at under £10 it won't break the bank either. Bonus! It gives me even better results than my favourite Manuka Doctor Rejuvenating Mask containing bee venom and Clarins Hydra Quench Cream Mask containing hyaluronic acid katafray bark , both much pricier at £49.99 and £28 respectively. The key ingredient is organic rosehip oil known for its moisturising, soothing and softening effects on the skin. It contains polyunsaturated fatty acids which are involved in cellular membrane and tissue regeneration. Furthermore it contains trans-retinoic acid, which is responsible for skin rejuvenation, quicker healing time and repairs skin subjected to excessive sunlight and the resultant photo aging.
If your skin is looking a bit dull and lacklustre this is for you.
