Best Lipstick- Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Black Raspberry
Monday, September 6th, 2010
Bobbi Brown is one of the few major cosmetic brands that recognises and embraces the need for different shades of make-up for darker skin tones, and her autumn offering entitled Black Velvet is a triumph. Not only are the colours great- rich smoky metallics sit alongside dramatic tones of berry & chocolate- the quality of the products is fantastic too. Lipsticks are nourishing as well as dramatic, the eye shadows stay in place and the eyeliner doesn’t leave you with Panda eyes 2 hours later! Obviously you can still wear the colours if you have a paler skin tone, but be prepared to make a statement. These luscious tones are for the bold & the beautiful! Perfect for the Christmas party season…..
Price: £15.50
Rouge Coco is a new range of 30 lipstick shades to be created for Chanel by make-up maestro Peter Philips, and this vampish shade of wine red, Byzantin, is my favourite. It looks gorgeous worn with pale skin & a little black dress, just as Madame would have liked.
The Johnsons Classic lipcare balm has undoubtedly been my ‘must have’ beauty product this winter and will continue to be this spring too. It smells of marshmallows, leaves your lips moisturised & soft and doesn’t leave a huge dent in your bank balance either. Stock up while you can !
The hotly anticipated Private Blend lip color collection is the ultimate in luxury, with its super chic gold & ivory embossed packaging to & TF logo imprinted on the bullet. Of the 12 shades, Cherry Lush is the perfect pillarbox red for achieving that classic Hollywood pout. 
This stunningly beautiful lipstick compact is the work of renowned Parisian jeweller Lorenz Bäumer, and is more a collectors item to be kept & treasured than merely a lipstick. Thanks to a clever magnetic mechanism, Rouge G de Guerlain reproduces the air-releasing effect of antique powder cases. At the first click, the white gold metal case reveals a mirror and then a lipstick nestled within. Upon closing, the magnets resonate with a heavy click, making it feel truly luxurious. The lip colour is enriched with mango butter & comes in 25 different shades.
