Lady Wimbledon and I were kindly invited by the Bentall Centre to find out what is hot in makeup and beauty right now, and what you should be spending your money on this month!
First stop was getting a full-on makeover at the MAC counter. We had so much fun and it was such a great way to try out the latest looks.
We both loved the new Retro Matte Liquid LipColours, so easy to apply and they lasted for the whole afternoon. We will both be adding our chosen colours to our makeup bags this season. Lady Wimbledon wore a nude colour called ‘Burnt Spice’ and I chose a bright red called ‘Feels So Grand’ – the perfect colour for Valentine’s Day!
The beauty floor in Bentalls has so many amazing beauty counters, we could have been there all week! We were loving the Bobbi Brown eyeshadows!
I was so excited to try out the Charlotte Tilbury range, I have heard so many amazing things about her products, and as a makeup artist myself who really admires Charlotte’s work it is so exciting that she has her own products. It is such an amazing collection, one of our favourite products in her range is Charlotte’s Magic Cream this is her secret formula adored backstage by models and celebrities. It features Charlotte’s secret blend of ingredients, including BioNymph Peptide Complex, floral extracts and a hyaluronic acid booster to lift and flood the skin with moisture. Whether you’re stressed at your desk or an all-night hedonist with hungover skin, cheat the appearance of 8 hours sleep and enjoy a plumped, glowing, youthfully dewy complexion in a flash!
Lady Wimbledon is a huge NARS fan, so of course we had to visit the Nars counter. I was straight away drawn to their new Velvet Shadow Sticks, they are beautiful eyeshadows in pencil form – so easy to apply and they come in the most gorgeous colours. I love the colour ‘Ciros’ for day time looks, and the colour ‘Grande-Large’ is a vibrant aqua blue, perfect for spring, I can’t wait for the weather to get warmer and I can start wearing it.
