Joan Collins is synonymous with glamour. She harks back to a time when movie stars would never leave the house without their hair and makeup being done, and certainly not in sweatpants. This glamour is evident in every aspect of her new makeup range, Timeless Beauty. The packaging is classic and sophisticated and many of the colours are full on glamour. We previously reviewed her Helene lipstick and nail polish. This time we went for some pink shades.

Evelyn is a hot pink coral shade which makes a statement and Marilyn is an easy-to-wear pink shade: perfect for daytime. The lipstick is creamy and hydrating. Impressively, it lasts for hours without the need to reapply. The amazing lipstick is like skincare and brilliant lipstick all rolled into one. Moisturising, vibrant and long lasting: what more could you want?

The Nail Lacquer is great, it is also long lasting and high quality. Just two coats gives a great, shiny, opaque look. It goes on smooth and lasts a long time. Impressive.

The lipstick costs £18 and the nail polish is £12.50 at www.QVCuk.com and http://www.joancollinsbeauty.com

Joan Collins Timeless Beauty Helene Red Lipstick & Nail Lacquer Review

I have always thought that glamour was underrated. I don’t like that a lot of people don’t tend to make much of an effort when it comes to glamour anymore, or being well dressed. Men and women alike. In the spirit of full disclosure, I can count myself amongst them sometimes. Too often in fact. Joan Collins has always been glamourous and while leaving the house everyday with a full face of makeup is too much of an effort, she really does inspire me to try harder.

She has launched a new beauty range, Timeless Beauty. It is all very impressive. The range has a lot of gorgeous stuff in it. The PR person sent us Lipstick & Nail lacquer in Helene to review. This is what Joan says:

“Lipstick is, to me, the Queen of cosmetics. It brings a hit of distinctive colour that lifts the face even when wearing no other make up. Lip colour itself can be a statement, can say something about the wearer and how the world sees them. I named my lipsticks after characters I have played as they reflect some aspect of the character’s persona.”

The lipstick is gorgeous, great packaging which just screams glamour. The colour is a luscious red cream with a hint of blue undertones. I never usually wear red lipstick. My lips are too big and don’t need anymore attention drawn to them, but this is beautiful. It is long lasting and also hydrates. In fact, it was tested and shown to improve hydration levels in the lips after 30 days.

Joan’s Tip: Look perfectly groomed by matching up lip and nail colour.

Next up was the nail lacquer, also in Helene. A matching red. Joan said:

“I don’t feel dressed without nail lacquer. It’s as essential to me as lipstick. I love the style of this bottle, elegant and practical with a long tapered cap that’s easy to hold, and, helps balance the brush when applying. The ribbing improves grip and ease of opening and closing.The colours are my personal favourites and I wear them all switching one to the other to reflect my mood, the effect I want to make, or simply to compliment my outfit.”

This is the same beautiful colour. The packaging is just gloriously stunning and glamorous. The nail lacquer is easy to apply. It is a smooth, self levelling colour that covers imperfections and leaves nails looking sleek and chic.

I love these and Joan’s Timeless beauty range. It brings a rather wonderful touch of glamour to life. Which makes it worth making that extra effort for after all. I may become more like Joan yet.
