Wear It Pink In October - Lily Lolo Supports Breast Cancer Campaign

In October 2009 Lily Lolo mineral cosmetics will pledge their support to breast cancer research by donating profits to Wear it Pink; the charity that exists to fund world-class research to improve breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. The whole of October is Wear it Pink month, the official time of year that we get together to raise the awareness of breast cancer. To support the work of the life-changing organisation, Lily Lolo will give profit from web sales of some of the best selling shades to the charity, for the whole month. For every Bubblegum Pink lipgloss that is sold Lily Lolo will donate £1, as well as another £1 for every purchase of Ooh La La and Candy Girl blush, and 50p from every purchase of eye colours Pink Champagne and GoldenPink. Just think of the possibilities - Did you know that just £2 can buy 40 microscope slides and £50 can buy two weeks’ worth of pipettes?! It’s time to pledge your support and spend October in the prettiest of pink shades, supporting a fantastic charity as you go. Shades are all available online at www.lilylolo.co.uk. Lipgloss £8, Blush £7, Eye colours £5. A full list of natural ingredients is available online.

I tried out two "Purple Haze' & Midnight Hour', both are excellent, the purple being my personal favourite, the colours blend beautifully together & the soft purple shimmer shade sits perfectly on the lids adding a little extra zing to the over all look! All shades within each palate are perfect for using in one complimenting look together & can create an intense smokey effect for night as well as a soft wash of colour suitable for day time as well (£9.78 Each).

Sex And The City Sequel Underway!!

Sex And The City is back with a bang, the new sequel began shooting yesterday in New York & the buzz is only just beginning on what Carrie & her girl's have been up to since May 2008! Due out in May 2010 we'll have 2 years of gossip, conquests & fashion trends to catch up on, also a few past fashion faux pas from the 80's by the looks of it.....!!!
Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted being made up into almost what looks like a Barbara Streisand lookalike contestant to shoot a flash back from her arrival in New York as a young twenty something (proving that we all get better with age!).

Rumours have been been flying that the star has recently had cosmetic surgery to remove her famous mole, so the make-up artists on set were reapplying it for continuity along with her 80's throwback make-up style!
The full ensemble included white skinny jeans, an off the shoulder jumper, converse trainers & to complete the over all look a tight perm that any rock ballad goddess would be envious of!



There were another two costume changes (slightly more up to date this time!), firstly in a white Halston dress with Louboutins (of course!) as well as a Chanel clutch bag, then later on pretty in purple with Christian Louboutin Gino T-strappies.



Keep your eyes peeled more more scene snaps as the famous four get to work in the big apple!!

Compagnie De Provence Extra Pur Collection

The 'Compagne De Provence Extar Pur' natural collection captures & reworks the fragrances as well as the colours of what is described as France's most legendary region. With the sleek design, modern, bold & colourful typography these make a fashionable chic statement to any bathroom and with irresistible fragrances including wild rose, grapefruit, orange & cherry blossom, verbana as well as olive & lavender they add a new twist to natural bath & body care.
Their brightly packaged liquid & bar soaps also pay homage to Provence's most famous export which is the iconic 'Savon De Marseille' cubes, these were blended in cauldrons according to techniques that were passed down over 400 years. The 'Extra Pur' bars are made from natural glycerin with pure olive & palm oil, the body lotions & hand creams are formulated using a blend of sweet almond oil, shea butter & vitamin e. The hand lotion unlike many others absorbs instantly giving a fresh feeling as well as moisturising the skin leaving it feeling soft & smooth, as with the body lotion too which again leaves your skin feeling fresh as well as soft & silky. The soap cleans & freshens the skin while preventing any dryness as many soap bars can do, all these products have a very striking fresh & natural scent, definitely reminiscent of the French countryside!!!
The range also includes Shower Gel, Foam Bath as well as relaxing & soothing Candles, retailing under £13. Available from John Lewis, The Conran Shop, Cologne & Cotton and Harrods. Check out the site on www.lcdpmarseille.com

Mineral Mania - Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics

Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics are taking the cosmetic market by storm at the moment, as we all know that minerals are the most natural way to a flawless complexion. The Lily Lolo range contain natural mineral ingredients so are free from any harsh chemicals, dyes, fillers & nano-particles, some of the ingredients that are included in the make-up actually have healing & anti-bacterial as well as sun-screen properties so the make-up is actually good for your skin - the best news we've had for a while!!!!!
The make-up also has a high light reflecting action so fine lines are minimised (more good news!!) & as the minerals are soft & silky on application they give an airbrushed finish to the skin.
I have been trying out some of the eye shadow this week in 'Deep Purple' which is also the hottest colour this coming season, it is a loose shadow that applies easily with a blending/fluff brush to create a soft wash of colour over the lids. The shadow can also be adapted to a creamy shadow by simply adding a little water to the powder, you'll get a much stronger colour with this & you can create a bolder evening look this way, using it dry gives a soft wash of colour suitable for the day. Both dry or wet the shadow is eay to blend & apply to the lids as well as being long lasting too.
