Bobbi Brown Limited Edition Pretty Powerful Pot Rouge

Two great reasons to buy this product...

1) It's a really pretty double-duty product that can be used on your lips and cheeks

2) 100% of the purchase price for each pot (£18) goes to charity. This year's charity is Dress for Success London, a charity that women on low incomes get back into work.

Pretty and charitable? What other excuse do you need to buy?!

Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful Pot Rouge

You can get this now for £18 from Selfridges or Bobbi Brown.

Estee Lauder Mad Men Collection

I'm a huge fan of Mad Men - if you are too you'll be just as excited about this collection.

If you don't watch Mad Men (why not?!) it's a big American TV drama set in the Sixties. The beauty trends of the Sixties are among the most copied ever and this collection doesn't veer to far from the classic Sixties look.

Porcelain skin, nude lips and manicured, creamy cashmere nails were all the rage and this Estee Lauder collection nails that retro style perfectly.

There are only 3 pieces to this collection - I suppose that is a good thing for our purses, and because the 3 items are so spot-on Sixties, perhaps you don't need any more than 3..

Nail Lacquer in Pink Paisley

Rich, Rich Lipstick in Pinkadelic

See-Thru Blush in Light Snow

I am lusting after the blush big time - how adorable is that packaging?! The boxes that these products come in all match that blue and yellow print which gives everything a romantic, retro touch. I kind of want a top made in this print now too...

This collection is set to launch on 4th March to coincide with the sixth season of Mad Men in the UK.

Bobbi Brown Lilac Rose Collection

This is a really pretty collection from Bobbi Brown which appeared at a few shows over London Fashion Week.

The colours are really wearable and girly. My favourite piece is the Shimmer Brick below. All of the Bobbi Brown shimmer bricks are great - they provide just the right amount of shimmer and colour and I like that you can mix a bunch of great colours together with just the swipe of a brush.

Lilac Rose Shimmer Brick Compact, £32

Lilac Rose Nail Polish, £11

Lilac Rose Eye Palette, £45

 I really like the eye palette in this collection (above) - it is quite expensive, it has 8 really great colours in it that I think most people would get a lot of use out of. You can create a lot of different looks with this palette too.

Lilac Rose Lip Gloss, £17

This collection is now available to buy online from Selfridges or Bobbi Brown.

MAC Archie's Girls - More previews

Hi everyone!

A lot of the Archie's Girls collection is available on the Selfridges website now and it should be live on the MAC website soon, so I thought I'd share a few more of my favourite items from the collection...

Betty Lipsticks in (from left): Girl Next Door, Betty Bright and Oh Oh Oh

 The Veronica lipsticks are much more in my colour range than these Betty ones, but they are growing on me each time I see them. The Betty shades in this collection are probably more everyday colours - very girly, peachy and pretty. Having seen swatches of these, my favourite of the above is Betty Bright which is a vibrant peach colour.

Pearlmatte Face Powder in Veronica's Blush

 I am loving the look of this face powder - the cute design has reeled me in! This face powder combines pearlized and satin shades and can be used as a blush or highlighter also.

Veronica Powder Blush in Prom Princess

 This blush is a mid-tone pink berry with a satin finish. The pigment in these blushes is really good so you only need a tiny amount.

Veronica Polishes in (from left): Past Curfew and Double Trouble

If anyone has got anything from this collection already, let me know by leaving a comment - I'd love to know your thoughts.

Valentine's Day Make Up

Whether you like Valentine's Day or not, it's hard not to feel in love with these Valentine's themed beauty products...

This super cute lipstick by Marks & Spencer Limited Collection is only £5.00 and comes in a light pink or rose shade. Easy to wear, pretty colours. They remind me of the Paul & Joe 'cat head' lipsticks - both are adorable and a fun twist on a product many of us use every day.

Another product in this line from Marks & Spencer is this multi blush, which comes in at just £6.00. It features little hearts in various shades of pink for a rosy glow.

MAC's Archie Girls collection will be launching in the first week of March and I'll be snapping up this eyeliner along with a couple of other pieces. The packaging for this whole range is really cute and a lot of the products look really wearable.

This is the Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner in 'Black Swan'.

For the brave ones amongst us, these heart sequin eyelashes from ASOS (£15) are a really bold and creative way to get in on the love theme. These do not look particularly comfortable...However they undoubtedly add something different to a look!

Last but not least, heart decoration for the lips in the form of a temporary lip tattoo! This is another piece from ASOS and costs £10. Probably not an item to wear on a date or if you plan on eating anything (!) but for a girly night out with friends these are pretty fun.

Happy Valentines Day everyone!
