Cosmetic-Candy
Last colour from my lipstick sampler card is Ginger, a coppery bronze. My least favourite for sure:
The texture though – divine!!! Its like YSL’s Rouge Volupte but lighter. Gorgeous. I am going to go down to the counter shortly and pick up a few of these…hoping they aren’t too expensive!
What do you think of Ginger?

Thinking of doing another blog sale this week, on Saturday 24th April at 7pm GMT (before Britain’s Got Talent, oh telly addicts). What do you think? Can you make it? Do you want to see some kind of preview list? In the future blog sales will change – after the mad rush I will put [...]
Yes, a Stretchmark cream review! No I don’t have any big announcements to make although all around me babies are appearing left, right and centre; rather, I’ve noticed a lot of mum-to-be products (although this isn’t specifically a MTB cream) work brilliantly regardless of whether you have a bun in the oven or not. Kalis [...]
Matte powders have been around for a while, and as innovative and useful as they are for building volume they’re not really my thing in the sense that I would always choose shiny hair over matte hair. So I was pleased to try out this Schwarzkopf OSiS Shine Duster Velvet Shine Powder. They say: Osis [...]
So I have been wanting NARS Yachiyo brush, from the Kabuki Artisan Range forever. My favourite MA on Nars uses that brush on me to apply the multiple; to apply strong brushes…anything cheek related. But there is the issue of price. At £37.50 it is steep, especially as it feels so lightweight; I know, it [...]

They are £26 each, but when you consider they cost the same as the Tom Ford lipsticks in the US, that looks like a pretty good deal in the UK.
I’m not a fan of those warm brown shades either, but the texture is gorgeous. I have a couple of the red shades, love them.

Hi Grace
Do they cost that much in the US? Well its about time we got a good deal here in the UK don’t you think ?

I just managed to grab a couple of limited edition ones of these, No.11 Grace (your name LondonMU Girl! ^^^) and No.12 Gems. Both look really really pretty but I’m so strapped for cash right now, I’m tempted to sell them.
However, being the make up fiend that I am, I’m sure they’ll end up in my own collection!
The cases are stunning btw, very very glam.

There’s one called Grace? I need it, whatever the colour!

LOL! Well I follow you on Twitter and love your site, so I’ll send you a picture soon =)
It’s quite a special one actually, it has a black jewel for the clasp.

I’ve got Georgia, a bright, light pink. I agree that the texture is nicer than rouge volupte but can’t justify owning more than one. It’s a crime that the packaging on these is not refillable. I contacted Guerlain about this and they said the compact was a luxury touch, which was priced as such and still indtended to be disposable. What’s ‘luxurious’ about binning a jewellery standard compact when the lipstick’s gone?

Hi Julia
I got really confused on the guerlain counter and went for no. 1 in the full size lipstick! I agree – Ihaven’t sure the lipstick yet BUT the packaging is so ridiculously OTT and glam. How can this not be refillable?! Its stupid, its too expensive and too glam to throw away. I feel that way a bout YSL too! I recently bought a lipstick from Elegance (Japanese brand) for quite a lot of money, that IS refillable!
