Avon Nailwear Pro in Luxe Lavender


Wishful thinking with this nail colour today as I'm hoping the sun will make an appearance this weekend. Its perfect for summer and I can't wait until I can get away with wearing it teamed with a summer dress and flip-flops.

Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain & Balm


L-R: Flame, Passion, Frenzy


I have been a bit tardy recently, because I'm in the process of moving house. So a quick post tonight.

Lip pens have become increasingly popular and now Revlon have decided to jump on the bandwagon too. New for summer is their Just Bitten Lipstain & Balm product at £7.99. Available in seven colours - Passion, Twilight, Frenzy, Beloved, Forbidden, Flame and Gothic - all come with a vitamin-enriched lipstain formula to give you lasting colour and a nourishing balm on the other end. The lipstains are easy to apply - imagine drawing on your lips in felt-tip pen - but I wouldn't say the colours pop too much. I do like the idea of lip pens because they're fantastic for summer and taking on holiday, but they don't feel the same as a lipstick. They're drying, which could be why they've added a balm on the end for nourishment. Personally I'm not 100% sold. What do you guys think?

LP Skin Therapy

About a month ago I was lucky enough to sit down and have breakfast with some lovely journalists and the beautiful Dr Linda Papadopoulos. And the reason for this? Linda was launching her very own skincare brand, LP Skin Therapy – a range of skincare essentials that work at giving your skin important nutrients as well as encouraging feel good chemicals in your body to de-stress your mind. The range also combines a unique blend of ingredients, which help fight all the common signs of ageing. There are eight products to choose from, ranging from general cleansing to lip exfoliation. Pictured are five of the products, minus the day cream, night cream and eye serum.

Starting with the System Balance Face Wash, according to Linda it contains ingredients similar to ones you might find in your anti-ageing day cream. You only need a tiny amount, but it does feel soft on your skin. The smell is over-powering, so if it doesn't wake your skin up in the morning, then I don't know what will!

Uplifting Facial Water - most of the skincare experts I've spoken to insist that you should use a face water, because they are one of the best instant pick-me-ups for lacklustre skin. This one isn’t much different. It's a little chunky to carry around with you and will probably work better as a bathroom staple, but it smells gorgeous and doesn’t smudge your make-up either.

Untired Eye Cream - slightly tinted, the eye cream helps to minimise the appearance of under eye bags and make your eyes appear brighter. Compared to the rest of the range, it has more of a fresh, natural smell to it and contains diamond powder, which reflects the light from your face giving you a HD finish.

Refining Lip Exfoliator - my favourite product from the range, this gorgeous lemony scrub helps to slough off any flaky skin on your lips and moisturise them too. It feels a little greasy after the scrub has been applied, but this soon disappears and you're left with a super soft pout! What do you think of the LP Skin Therapy range?

Lastly the Lip Rescue Gel - if you want plumper lips in seconds, then this product is for you. It slightly stings for a while, but as I like to say, no pain, no gain. The gel contains hyaluronic fill spheres to plump, a number of ingredients to help calm your body and volulip, which helps improve moisture.

I'm an instant fan of this range, purely because it looks at skincare from a different view - you must feed your skin from the inside first. LP Skin Therapy range is priced between £15 to £47 and available from Harrods and QVC from May.
