BEAUTY EDIT: HOT LIPS

Lipstick has this wonderful power to really influence the way a woman can feel. It can build confidence, re-energise you and add an instant glamour to any look you desire.

I am so excited to share with you the newly released Hot Lips collection by the infamous Charlotte Tilbury! And even more excited to finally own some of her amazing products which have been hyped for a while now!

There are 12 lipsticks in the whole range all based on some the most mesmerising women of today. From the gorgeous nude colour that I am wearing, some of you will notice that it is highly reminiscent of the infamous Kim Kardashian-West (how amazing is that packaging though!).

The nude went perfectly with the Colour Chamleon I bought in Amber Haze, a beautiful bronzey shade I am happy to now own in my collection. The Colour Chamleons are so simple and easy to use and honestly stay put the whole day!

I personally also really love Carina's Love, a gorgeous deep red perfect for a date, and Miranda May, the ultimate daytime lipstick. 

The women that the range is inspired by each encapsulate their unique beauty and style, meaning there is a colour to suit everyone! What;s also amazing is that every $2 from the sale of each lipstick will be donated to the Women For Women charity, an organisation that actively works to better the lives of females all over the world.

I love going to a city for the second or third time because its  a great way to find atypical tourist things to do. One of these places I was recommended by a friend was the High Line - an old train line about 2 km long on the west side of Manhattan. Such a beautiful and scenic walk, with graffiti and food along the way.

And of course when in New York, one has to pay a visit to the shopping hot spot of SoHo. Popped in into one my favourite stores, & Other Stories where I picked up these sunnies for a bargain & some jewellery. Isn't that Reformation jumpsuit to die for?!

BEAUTY EDIT: THE RED LIP

So it has been a while since my last Beauty Edit but what better way to return but with a classic red lip.

I was lucky enough to get a hold of the limited edition Nars Digital World lip pencil set with five mini lip pencils - a perfect way to try different colours and finishes. Seeing as the Nars lip pencils have proven to be a cult beauty product for many, I thought it was about time to give them a go !

A definite stand out, and one of the most popular, was Cruella - a bombshell red. (See my latest GRWM for the Descanso, a nude colour) Now Cruella is not quite a true red, but slightly deeper/blue toned which matches my skin tone perfectly. It has a very matte finish, meaning it will not budge all day (and I'm sure survive a few smooches), however, it does rely on a good exfoliation and moisturisation before application.

A lipstick can be a really simple, no brainer way to make your outfit or brighten up your face and makeup.
