Gloss & Polish – Guerlain’s 2013 Makeup Colour Collection

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…

Get a load of Elizabeth Arden’s new Ceramide Lip Colour

Brand new on counter is this gorgeous new range of lippies from Elizabeth Arden. Ceramide Lip Colour is drenched in colour and infused with Volulip™ that promises to not only give your lips brilliant colour, lasting comfort and moisturize your pout, but also give you plumper, shiner lips for longer. I can never keep a lip colour lasting long enough, but I do love the feel and texture of the Ceramide Ultra Lip Colour. Soft, non drying and it really does add superior moisture to your lips, you can so do without gloss! The range offers fifteen totally gorgeous shades of reds, corals, neutrals, pinks and plums that are enough to make any heart melt. And with so many pretty colours to choose from, you’re bound to find your perfect fit (or two, or three, or ten!) All the pretty-pretty colours For lovers of red lips, 01 Rouge, 02 Brick and 04 Vintage Red are your colours. Personally, I don’t fancy a red lip, but the Vintage Red shade has a soft yet shimmery tone that makes it an ideal “red” for me. Rouge is your classic yellow-red, while Brick has a more burgundy tone. One of my fave colours…

New on my Desk – Maybelline Superstay Lip Color

New on my Desk – Maybelline Superstay Lip Color

Maybelline has launched a brand new range of amazing colour lip colour. Nine fabulous shades to suit any mood with long lasting staying power. It’s called Super Stay 24 Colour and is a a double sided lipstick that wont crumble, crack, fade or transfer. Although the name suggests “24 Hours”, on me it didn’t last that long. Then again, I drink about 4 cups of coffee a day so I didn’t expect it to. It did however last longer than most lipsticks I’ve used and so, it still gets big praise in my book. The formula contains SuperStay Micro-Flex that stretches the limits of lip colour and gives it a longer than usual staying effect. I do love all the fabulous colours … Choose from Sparkling Fuchsia, Absolute Plum, Grape Juice, Cosmic Coral, Red Passion, Burgundy, Soft Taupe, Dark Amber and Timeless Brown. These colours are available from June 2011 and the suggested retail price for one is R129.95 and totally worth it.
