Givenchy La Rouge Lipsticks

These limited edition lipsticks are a brand new offering from Givenchy which you can snap up for £24 each at Harrods right now.

The La Rouge lipsticks have a semi-matte formula, which is long lasting and wears really well.

These lipsticks are very pigmented and give great colour payoff - just one swipe is plenty and you get a really bold, lasting colour on your lips.

My personal favourite is the Coral shade which I think would really brighten up any complexion. I love the Fuschia shade too, but it's so purple I don't think this will suit as many people and it's definitely not an everyday colour for Spring/Summer. It might be a pretty shade for Summer evenings, though.

As always, I'm a sucker for the packaging and these babies come with white leather detailed cases - if you look closely you can see the white leather parts down the side of the lid.

Givenchy are releasing some really good quality products at the moment (I'll feature a few more of these shortly!) and these lipsticks are no exception - powerful, feminine colours with a really nice texture for the lips.


Will you be buying one of these? Which colour is your favourite?

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm

I'm a lipbalm addict and am always on the look out for the next best thing in the lipbalm market.

Burt's Bees is the balm of choice for many ladies - the balms all use natural ingredients and are great for really nourishing your lips. 

We are often forced to sacrifice wearing colour on our lips when they're dry - no one likes a dry lip smothered in lipstick. But now there are a few brands creating balms with colour that mean we no longer have to pick one over the other.

Burt's Bees is a cheap and cheerful offering and their tinted balm is actually quite good.

There are 4 colours available, and they all give a subtle wash of colour whilst keeping your lips moisturised. These have a really sweet taste too which is a bonus. I've tried this recently and would definitely recommend it if you're looking for an everyday, good quality lipbalm with a slight touch of colour.

You can pick these up now for around £5 in a range of stores.

Stila Lip Glaze Trios

Stila have just launches these glosses for Spring/Summer and the colours are looking really pretty.

Stila Lip Glaze Trios in Flower Power (left) and Awesome Blossom

Each set contains 3 glosses. The Flower Power trio contains Pink Blossom, Pink Orchard and Lilac, and the Awesome Blossom trio contains Dahlia, Cherry Blossom and Rose Bud.

If you prefer neutral, light every day shades, I would go for the Awesome Blossom set. My personal favourite is the Flower Power trio, which has slightly stronger colours - I tend to think in Summer you can get away with a bolder gloss during the day.

These have just launched and are available from Stila or Selfridges for £12 per set - a bargain!
