Wearing a bold lip colour will draw attention to your mouth and away from tired eyes so it great for a quick pick me up when you have not had enough sleep. If you don’t have much time in the morning then a bold lip can work in your favour because it is maximum impact with minimal effort. Here are my 10 easy steps to wearing a fabulously bold lip! 1. Apply a lip balm with your skin care. Dry flaky lips will look even worse with a bold lip so this step is important. 2. Your ski

About 10 days ago I saw that Charlotte Tilbury was going to be at Selfridges with Jessica Diner the Beauty and Lifestyle Director at British Vogue having a “in Conversation” event. I was so excited. I had to go! Tickets were £95 which was redeemable against products on the night, there was a goody bag and a glass of Champagne. Stupidly, I thought I would get my ticket later and when I checked back about 2 hours later the event was sold out! I was in panic mode, what am I goin

Charlotte Tilbury is flying up my list of go-to brands recently. I purchased the new Unisex Healthy Glow All-Year Hydrating Summer Tint earlier this summer. This is like a cleaver tinted moisturizer because the product looks white when you first squeeze is out of the tube but then when you apply it little sphere of colour pop and you are left with a healthy summer glow. The coverage is sheer so its not for you girls that like a lot of coverage but I feel that its perfect for

If you are anything like me you instantly look better with a summer tan, my face looks happier, my teeth look whiter and eyes look brighter. For the record, I wear a minimum of SPF30 and go up to a SPF 50 during the summer months. I try my hardest to keep my face out of the sun but even though I wear an SPF 50 I still get frecklier which I do not mind but as I wear big sunglasses all the time I end up with a freckle mask everywhere but around my eyes. I am not about to wear a

Over the weekend I blogged about oily t-zones and ways of keeping it under control. What happens when you skin is dry? Dry skin is as annoying as oily skin. When you have dry skin and wear foundation your skin tends to suck out all the moisture from the foundation so you are left with a cakey almost crinkly finish. Your skin is shouting “I am thirsty, get me something to drink” so when you apply your foundation even over your skin care it’s only natural for your skin to drink

Hi ladies and gents, here is another question I get a lot on twitter. My face especially my T-Zone gets really oily once I apply my makeup and I also sweat a lot.. please help #asknina. Well, lets start at the very beginning (that's a very good place to start....when you read you begin with A-B-C, when you sing you begin with do-re-mi..... sorry I can't resist to burst into song every once and awhile especially for the Sound of Music..... it drives my husband crazy.....).

Hello darlings, as some of you know I answer makeup questions on twitter but I thought that sometimes the answers can be so long it is easier to write a post about it. One lovely follower asked "I wonder if you could recommend a mascara.... my current ends up under my eyes with black smudge marks". The same idea goes with eye liners too., why do they smudge? There are a number of reasons why that can be happening and it is not you mascara. You need to ask yourself a few quest

It has been awhile, I find it so hard to blog when my children are off on school holidays. Its like my brain can't deal with a laptop and children running around it. Plus we did move house too and my laptop was in a box for about 2 weeks. Anyway, welcome back lovely people! I have missed you! I have just been on holiday in the south of France for 2 weeks. It was amazing. Wine is cheaper than coke, cheese is incredible, bread is heavenly and the weather was pretty good too. I
