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! 😀
Continue ReadingDo you remember the old Dior Addict lipsticks? I adored them. Adored! I had nothing bad to say about them, and would wax lyrical at how wonderful they were, at every opportunity. Everyone I knew loved them!
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.
Will the Dior Addict Stellar Shine lipstick bring me back into the Dior fold? Might it make me fall in love all over again with their lipsticks? It was time to find out! 🙂
Continue ReadingI have to admit to feeling a little beauty fatigue. There are only so many new makeup or skincare releases I can handle, before it begins to overwhelm. And before they start looking the same.
Yet, there is always one collection I look forward to every year – Chanel Les Beiges makeup collection.
The Chanel Les Beiges collection is always like a breath of fresh air, with its predictability and basic, neutral hues. It is, in many ways, almost dull in its predictability.
But it is that predictability that I look forward to. When we are bombarded with bright colours and imagery in each different makeup collection, with polished, airbrushed and defined, almost cookie-cutter precision looks that accompany it; I feel the need to ground myself.
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 do. I love mine to itty bitty bits. It’s not even a crush. It’s a full-blown love affair!
I think, if I hadn’t already fallen in love with the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour, I might have overlooked this new release a few months ago. But in love with the Crushed Lip Colour I am, so when the liquid version was launched, I hot-footed it down to the nearest counter to have a look.
I also promptly went home with 2 shades (because they are quite affordable) and have been enjoying them ever since. I was on the verge of blogging about it, when as fate would have it, all the shades landed on my desk! You should have seen the grin that split my face from ear to ear 😀
It also meant I had to get down to work! 😛
