Fantastic Minimal Makeup Introducing Pearl Beauty

Posted on by

I have a new makeup obsession: Pearl. I have tried their Multi purpose lip and face stick, their cream highlighter, and their “The One” multi-purpose brush. I use the cream highlighter pretty much every day now and always get compliments. High praise for someone who doesn’t really wear makeup much.

Their multi-purpose face and lip stick is so easy to use and stays put. It’s amazing. Ditto for the brush which allows seamless application. I won’t be without Pearl Makeup ever again. I am in love.

Frost’s Favourite… MASCARA

Posted on by

The segment that brings you the lowdown on what we’re absolutely LOVING each week!

What’s wonderful this week?

Oh My How High mascara by butter LONDON

 

 

Prove it…

OK, so hear us out. Mascara can be your best friend or your worst enemy – we rarely find that it’s the ‘middle ground mate’. We can confirm, that Butter’s OMHH mazzy will be the yin to your yang, the Holly to your Fern and the Beyoncé of your make up bag (sorry ‘chelle and Kel’).

Its thick bristles helps to make your lashes really dense. Perfect if you’re a volume seeker.

The piece de resistance of this beauty though, is absolutely the length it brings to your flutterers. The curved wand can really connect with your lashes and helps to dramatically pull them up and the traditional thickness of them collects enough of the product to apply a generous coating in just a few sweeps.

Like any mascara, best results come once lashes are curled and primed however if you don’t have time for these steps, you’ll still get great results from OMHH only.

Hook me up!

Winky Lux Make-Up Review: Taylor Swift is a Fan, But Are We?

Posted on by
Winky Lux Make-Up ReviewWinky Lux make-up caught my eye thanks to its awesome packaging, bold colours and original ideas. It helps that all their make-up is gluten free, vegan and cruelty free. Taylor Swift is using their colour ‘Bond’ at the moment and looks fab. The range is full of inventive beauty products from Diamond Powders, PH Flower Balms to Lightbox highlighters. The brand has just launched their Matte Lip Pills. I got sent some of their products to review. Here is what I thought.
winkyluxreview
 Kitten Powder Eyeshadow
Cute packaging, cute name and a great colour. Wins all-round. It has a great texture and is good for blending and creating definition.
winkyluxeyeshadowwinkylux
Light Box Strobing Balm
A highlighter is always an essential addition to any make-up bag. Since having a child I always put some on before a special event. Or when I want to look like I am not dead. This is a brilliant balm with high impact. The cream is smooth and melts into the skin. It feels good applying it and leaves you glowing.
winkyluxlitstrobe
Lip Velvour in Mermaid
Now this is not usually a colour I would go for, but it looks stunning and dramatic. A strong, high-impact teal. I love the lipstick pills. It is hard to be original in the make-up industry and these are really striking and stand out. It is a great lipstick that goes the distance. Feels good on your lips too. It is also paraben free.
lipvelvourmermaidWinkyLux Mermaid.lipstick
Flower Balm Pink
This is my favourite lip balm ever. I mean, just look at it. When I took it out of the box I almost gasped. It truly is a thing of beauty. I almost didn’t want to use it. The flower inside is just such a great detail. The lip balm itself is great of course but when you could just stare at it instead, who cares?
Pink Flower Balm pH Stain Winky Luxflowerbalm
Glossy Boss Romeo And Juliet
This is a great long-lasting lip gloss. I love the colour, which is perfect for me. I usually hate lip gloss but this has none of the usual stickiness associated with other glosses and is lightweight. It gives sheer colour and shine. It is infused with vanilla for delectable application.

winkyluxlipglossI really love Winky Lux. I have become quite jaded over the years but I really love this brand. Their packaging, originality and the actual make-up itself is such a winning combination. I feel this is the start of a long love affair.
In Winky Lux news, the digital cosmetic has released its range of Matte Lip Velour in ‘Lip Pills’ in a range of unique shades from Blue Moon, Mermaid, Meow Winky Lux, the new luxury yet affordable digital cosmetic line is now available in the UK.

Pop-Up To Covent Garden And Celebrate A Chanel Christmas…

Posted on by


It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

What could be more special than a festive pop-up featuring a giant snow globe and offering free flash makeovers – after all, you deserve it after the chaos of all the Christmas shopping, right?

CHANEL are offering shoppers and beauty fans a pep-up at their Covent Garden pop-up located a few steps away from the Chanel beauty boutique at the piazza, which is the temporary space before becoming Chanel’s permanent bigger home next year.

The exquisite pop-up pays homage to the world of Chanel No.5 as depicted in the Baz Luhrmann-directed campaign starring Gisele Bündchen.

In 2012, CHANEL opened its pop-up covering 57 square metres of Covent Garden, inspired by London’s vibrant personality – the first of its kind in the UK.

Featuring some of the world’s leading make-up artists, theatrical artists, nail technicians and models, the Chanel pop-up beauty boutique debuted exclusive products, showcased London’s first ever Chanel nail bar, offered bespoke make-up tutorials and now offer their discerning customers the experience of having a specialist fragrance expert to guide you through the extensive Chanel scent collection.

 “No elegance is possible without perfume” –  Mademoiselle Chanel

With a vintage-inspired décor, the Chanel beauty parlour draws you in from the cold with its giant snow globe, complete with illuminated number five, welcoming you to take part in a variety of workshops and events throughout December.

 Settle down on the plush red cinema chairs for a manicure – using Rouge Noir, naturellement – or pop by for a complimentary 15-minute flash makeover, the perfect shop-to-cocktails refresh.

If you wish to linger longer, book in for a full one-hour makeover for £45 (redeemable against products bought). Whether you want to learn how to master the art of the up-do or perfect your smokey eye, the professionals will be on hand to impart their words of wisdom.

Makeover complete, there’s the irresistible chance to channel your inner Gisele with a photobooth from The London Lightbox – pose in front of the backdrop featured in the campaign and receive a print-out photo as a souvenir of your jaunt into the world of Chanel. And if you can’t resist the temptation to shop, of course there are plenty of little black boxes to take home too.

Offering a personalised gift wrapping service, complete with a hand written message by a CHANEL calligrapher alongside a choice of quotes from Mademoiselle Chanel herself, this delightful pop-up will kick-start your Christmas and indulge your inner ‘me’ time…

Chanel Christmas at Covent Garden is open until the end of December.

To book an appointment please call 0203 077 1198 or email covent.garden2@chanel.co.uk.

L.A.B2makeupbrushreview1

DON’T GET MAD, GET EVEN FOUNDATION BRUSH

This foundation brush gives a great no-streak finish. It also gives extra precision.

They say:

“My flat, tapered tip brush head ensures a smooth, even coverage.
I am designed to be firm, yet flexible to reach all the recessed and contoured areas of the face, especially the hard-to-reach contours of the nose and eyes.”

L.A.B2makeupbrushreview2L.A.B2makeupbrushreview5

THE TRIPLE THREAT MULTI-PURPOSE BRUSH

Exactly what it says: a multi-purpose brush. Feels great and looks great. The flatness of the brush really works to create a great finish. Has a great soft-touch handle for extra grip.

They say:

“My flat-top, slightly-fanned shape allows you to apply plenty of colour right where you want it.

My thickly-packed bristle head picks up more product than a normal brush, giving you a smooth, even complexion and polished finish.A multi-purpose brush that buffs, blends, contours and highlights for a professionally sculpted look.”

L.A.B2makeupbrushreview4

JUST FACE IT KABUKI BRUSH

Kabuki brushes are always popular with makeup artists. This one is just as great as the very expensive professional ones. The brush feels great and the short handle allows for extra precision, leaving a great look.

They say:

“The ideal multi-tasking tool for powders, and your secret weapon to a flawless finish.

My dense and extra soft domed-shape leaves behind a beautiful, subtle veil of perfection to all powder and pigment applications.”

Our verdict on L.A.B 2 makeup brushes is a glowing one. They are hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested and have no animal derived components. They have soft-touch handles for extra grip and comfort, FiberLuxe technology which provides superior pigment pick-up and optimal release. Each brush is perfect for the job and high quality. These are brilliant professional brushes at a less than professional price. Recommended.
