Lips

Yes, you can still wear lipstick under a facial mask!

Now that wearing a face mask has become the ‘new normal’, I’ve come across many people bemoaning the fact that there is no more point to wearing lipstick, or any lip colour.

For one, it’s covered by your mask, so what’s the point?

Second, lip colours will transfer onto your mask, and it smears and makes a mess.

But you know what? I still wear lip colours, especially lipstick. I feel naked and unfinished without a slick of lip colour, so let me tell you how I manage, and the types of finishes I pick to avoid smearing 🙂

Some days, I’m all about bold lip colours. The bolder and brighter, the better!

Some days, I mellow and reach for tinted lip balms for just a hint of colour on lips. In fact, this is what I reach for most often these days, as I’m often pressed for time, and I’m busy trying to get a new, special project off the ground.

A new tinted lip balm that has come within my radar is the Cle de Peau Beaute Lip Glorifier Glow Revival Conditioning Balm that comes in 3 barely there shades.

Because today’s also Valentine’s Day, I might suggest that instead of going the whole way and vamping up with the red (for which I have a beautiful and legendary one to suggest) why not dial it down and go for something sweet instead, that won’t mess up when things get erm… steamy 😉

To celebrate a decade of rose red, the Cle de Peau Beaute Legend Color Collection is legen…wait for it… dary!

Red – the colour of passion, intensity and power.

And of celebration.

In 2020, Cle de Peau Beaute celebrates 10 years of their most iconic lip colour – Legend #103 – in a special release of the Cle de Peau Beaute Legend Color Collection.

And believe me when I say that it is a stunner!

I’d been looking forward to Chanel’s 2019 Holiday makeup collection for a while. Ever since I saw teaser images of the collection a few months ago, I’d been enamoured.

Happily, I was not disappointed with the actual product! 😀

The key item that had me eagerly awaiting the Les Ornaments de Chanel collection was the eyeshadow quad. There was something about the intricate embossing of the pattern that reminded me of the buttons on Chanel’s iconic tweed jackets.

I was generously gifted a selection of products from the Les Ornaments de Chanel collection so I’ll tell you what I think is worth the splurge (and what you could skip over 😉 )
