Huge Lips - Skinny Hips!!!!

The latest magic trick to hit the beauty market is this ingenious little gloss & I just love the name - 'Huge Lips - Skinny Hips'! The product basically claims that while it gives you the perfect full glossy pout it also helps to curb your appetite at the same time, too good to be true...well maybe?!
It contains Hoodia Gordonii extract that is derived from a plant found in Namibia, the manufacturers say that it is known for its many appetite suppressing benefits. What they claim is that once the gloss applied, you should run your tongue over the lips whenever you feel hungry, in just a few seconds that feeling of hunger will disappear... I am yet to be totally convinced! Although with Vitamin B3 the gloss stimulates the blood flow to the lips to create fuller pout without the stinging sensation of other products, after regular use they claim that this can also help reduce any fine lines & wrinkles around the mouth area too.
Well over all as I've mentioned I am very dubious about it actually reducing your appetite to aid weight loss, but it certainly will give you beautiful pout & with the name I'm sure it'll be cult product in no time! £18 at Space NK from 01/03

Oscar Glamour!

Oscar glamour sparkled all over the world last night & as the stars gathered on the red carpet the media frenzy began..!! Here are a few of our favourites from the night!
Firstly lady of the night Kate Winslet who has most certainly been the toast of this years awards season! Kate looked demure & stunning as ever in a deep grey & black satin dress by Yves Saint Laurent, her hair was elegantly swept back with a vintage style & her make-up perfectly flawless & glowing! Get Kate's flawless skin by applying a light base of 'Chanel Pro Lumiere' foundation, it is semi matte to create a perfect finish & it's reflecting pigments give your skin a fresh radiant appearance! Sweep some of Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick Compact across your cheeks & lightly over the t-Zone to give a light warm glow.
Sarah Jessica Parker stole the show on the red carpet with her very extravagant Dior gown, which she apparently struggled with as she manoeuvred her way through the crowds, some criticised it for being a tad over the top, but I think SJP pulls it off fabulously!


Heidi Klum looked colourful & fantastic in a bright coral number & Anne Hathaway shimmered & sparkled in a beautiful Armani Prive jewel encrusted dress, again with an elegant vintage hair design she looked the epitome of classic Oscar glamour!




Of course the talk of the evening were Hollywood A-listers Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie as well as Jennifer Aniston with her Partner John Mayer. Angelina opted for a classic black dress, only picking up one colour with vibrant emerald earings, she also sported her signature make-up look with very defined eyeliner on the top lash line & neutral lips, again very simple & classic. Jennifer Aniston also sparkled in gold & was certainly glowing as she took to the red carpet!
