Gloss & Polish – Guerlain’s 2013 Makeup Colour Collection

Colourful and shiny! Guerlain launches two fabulous new products for 2013; Gloss d’Enfer, an intense colour lip gloss and La Laque Enamel for long lasting nail colour with super shine Twenty beautiful, glossy lip shades form part of the gloss collection, which includes a selection of pinks and berry reds to beautiful beiges and coral lips. The one I got to sample was in colour 440 – Coral Wizz, an absolutely perfect-for-summer shade. Having never tried any of the Guerlain lip glosses before, I must say I love the applicator. The tip has been flattened on both sides, which feels very comfortable on the lips and gives you a perfect application. The colour, well, I love coral, and totally feeling this one! The colour isn’t quite as intense on the lips as it looks in the tube, but nonetheless a fabulous shade that seems to compliment my own lip colour, amping up the intensity. The texture of the gloss is super fine and smooth and it doesn’t feel at all tacky or gooey. There are also ten tempting nail shades that match the lippies. Some very light and nude, some classic pinks and reds, and two gorgeous darker shades. The one above is in…

Fab Find Friday – Bobbi Brown Customizable Palette

Now, I don’t know about you, but I think Bobbi Brown has got to be one of the most innovative cosmetics producers of all time.  This woman, not only knows how to make gorgeous makeup that lasts, but she really understands how us women use it too, and to me that’s a huge plus.  That’s why, this week Bobbi Brown gets my Fab Find Friday (again). Lately, I’m obsessed with her new innovation, The Customizable Palette. It’s basically an empty, mirrored palette that can be customised to fit all your favourite Bobbi Brown eye shadows, blushes and even lip colours and gloss.  So instead of lugging all your makeup in a huge makeup case, that takes up space, all you really need is to (literally) pop your favourite Bobbi Brown shades into the palette and you’re done. Another plus is that you can quickly replace colours when you run out without having to get rid of the whole palette.  I know I’m not the only one that has bought a palette of colours, only to use one shade and then get rid of it.  This is a great innovation to choose the colours you want and you get the option…

Fab Find Friday – Giffarine Liptester Palette

I found the perfect little handbag goody this week from Giffarine –  a natural cosmetics range that’s imported from Thailand. The Giffarine Lip Colour – Liptester Palette is a super slim compact, containing 10 different shades of gorgeous gloss, an applicator brush and a mirror. The shades are superb and offer a full coverage, long lasting colour and a super silky texture.  It’s perfect for a girl on the go who loves to change her look,  and it comes in four different sets of complimenting shades. This little palette measures at 8.5 x 5.5mm and is probably less than a millimeter in thickness. So, its really, really small and can be slipped into your handbag for gloss on the go. For more information about Giffarine products, the Liptester Palette or to find a stockist near you, please contact deirdre@makeovercentral.co.za.  The recommended retail price for the Liptester Palette is R140.00 Giffarine has over 10 years of experience and research in developing quality cosmetics – using medical and pharmaceutical knowledge and expertise. The production process is based on scientific principles, adheres to international standards and is subject to strict hygiene and quality control.

Without a doubt, pocketpal from Benefit is one of the most versatile beauty products and one that every girl should carry in her handbag. I discovered this product yesterday, and the only question I asked myself is why on earth I hadn’t discovered it sooner?
