As much as I decry matte lipstick, there’s one specific lip colour I wear, and enjoy wearing, that often grabs attention. It is, incredibly for me, a matte lip colour.
I’d been playing around with the Bobbi Brown Luxe Matte Lip Color for a while. I am a big fan of the Luxe Lip Colour, which has a beautiful creamy finish.
The Luxe Matte Lip Color was going to be everything I did not look for in a lipstick LOL! 😀

Then, they were reformulated, and I went from euphoria to the other extreme – absolute disappointment. I hated the then-new Dior Addict lipsticks, and I wasn’t quite afraid to say so. Happily, many people agreed, expressing their disappointment with the new formula that did not live up to the exacting standards of the original Dior Addict lipstick formula.
So, when I was faced with the latest reformulation of the Dior Addict lipstick range, I approached it with a little trepidation.

The Chanel Les Beiges collection, with its splash of neutral beige, and celebration of all that is natural and basic and neutral, is just that!

I unfortunately did not show them in all their full glory, for which I must apologise.
But these PixiGlow Cake pans are so large, they are bigger than my hand, and will practically, last you forever and a day. Your grandchildren would likely be cooing over these as well 😀
These are excellent value, and quite pretty on skin to boot! So really, there is no excuse not to get them. Is there?
