Introducing The Bobbi Brown PINK & RED Collection…

Bobbi Brown NZ

I’ve just checked out the new Bobbi Brown Pink & Red Collection and it is truly divine!

With this collection, Bobbi Brown took an unconventional approach to the season’s traditional colour palette.  The Red & Pink Collection isn’t about matching your lips, cheeks and nails.  It’s about deliberately mismatching.  In the words of Bobbi Brown herself “I love pink and red worn together – it’s a very modern mix (and perfect for Valentines’ Day)”.

Check out some of the amazing products and colours from this collection:

Limited Edition
SHEER COLOR CHEEK TINT
Nothing makes a woman look prettier than a pop of blush. Bobbi’s Sheer Color Cheek Tint gives cheeks a tint of healthy, natural-looking colour. The translucent, lightweight formula glides on smoothly and blends evenly onto skin. Bonus: it’s packaged in a chic, swivel-up stick for easy,
on-the-go application. For a just-been-kissed look, apply Sheer Color Cheek Tint to the apples of the cheeks and blend down and back towards the hairline using fingers. Shades: Sheer Pink and Sheer Cherry.

New and Limited Edition
CREAMY MATTE LIP COLOR
Creamy Matte Lip Color is a unique matte lipstick formula that combines the look of a classic matte lip with incredible wearability. Creamy, moisturizing and highly pigmented, it glides comfortably onto lips, but feels extremely lightweight. Extremely high concentration of pigments delivers true color that lasts for up to 8 hours. Shades: Hot (New) and Heart.

New and Limited Edition Shades
SHEER LIP GLOSS
This lip gloss formula is super sheer and wearable. The translucent finish makes bold color easily wearable and is designed to enhance lips. Wear it on its own for sheer color or swipe it on top of lipstick for extra shine. Shades: Cherry (New) and Pretty in Pink.

Limited Edition
NAIL POLISH
Use color on the nails as an accent or accessory. A splash of these new nail colors on fingers and toes completes any look and fits any mood.  Shades: Pink Valentine and Valentine Red.

I picked myself up the ‘Valentine Red’ nail polish and ‘Pretty In Pink’ lip gloss – soooo pretty!!

If you haven’t seen this über cool collection yet, head in to your local Bobbi Brown stockist and check it out. (if you are based in Auckland, I recommend the Bobbi Brown store in Britomart).

Newspaper Nails…

Newspaper nails are so easy to do. This is a great tutorial for someone wanting fun nail art without too much hassle!  I’ve seen ‘newspaper nails’ around for a while now but hadn’t tried it myself until last night and I was pleasantly surprised with how quick and easy it was.  My ‘Step by Step’ tutorial will show you how to achieve this super cute look…

Here’s what you will need:

  • Light Coloured Nail Polish for the base (I’ve used OPI ‘s Did You Ear About Van Gogh?)
  • Alcohol (I recommend Vodka – not to drink!!) as it needs to be a white spirit. If you happen to have Rubbing Alcohol this is just as good
  • Newspaper
  • A small bowl (I recommend a deep lid/cap from a container)
  • Cotton pads
  • Cotton Buds/Cue tips
  • A Topcoat

STEPS:

1. Cut up a sheet of Newspaper into 10 pieces (slightly larger than your nails).

2. Paint your nails in a light grey or nude nail polish colour. Let it dry thoroughly before doing the next step.

3. Pour some alcohol into the cap or small container.

4. Dip a piece of newspaper into the alcohol for around 5 seconds and place, print side up, onto a cotton pad.

5. Press nail firmly onto the newspaper print and hold in place using the cotton pad for around 10-15 seconds (the cotton pad allows you to press firmly without smudging).

6. Lift your nail off the cotton pad/newspaper carefully. You’ll find that the ink from the newspaper will be left behind

7. Continue steps 4, 5 & 6 until you’ve competed each of your nails

8. Apply a topcoat to your nails. This will ensure the print wont smudge and gives your nails some extra shine.

If you have any print left around your nails, simply get a cotton bud and some nail polish remover to clean up your nails.

You can do this nail art with any newspaper print (unfortunately magazines won’t work as the paper is too glossy). A crossword cut into pieces would look kinda amazing too !

Catch A Falling Star – Makeup Tutorial On How To Stop Glitter Fallout

I love glittery eye make-up – I DON’T LOVE THE GLITTER FALLOUT!!  This little trick will allow you to remove the glitter fallout effectively, in less than a minute AND without ruining the rest of your makeup.

OK – see the small sparkly fallout, just under my eye? (in the top left corner picture) – this is what we are going to remove (and if you have more glitter fallout on your cheeks, you can remove this too by following these steps).

Tear off a piece of Scotch Tape or Removable Tape and wrap it around the tip of your finger with the sticky side facing out.

Firmly press the tape onto any fallen glitter and simply lift it off

Voila!  No Glitter Fallout!!

Should you feel you need to – you can touch up any foundation that may have lifted off with the tape.  For the sake of this tutorial I didn’t bother with foundation, however I feel confident the tape shouldn’t disturb your makeup too much at all, as it’s not ever ruined my foundation in the past.

Glitter kisses xx

Best In Beauty – My Favourite Beauty Products of 2012…

 

Given it’s the 1st day of 2013 I thought it appropriate to post an article on my favourite beauty picks of 2012.  This is in no way a definitive list of all of the products I use (I do love trying as many new products as possible, so as you can imagine, I could be here forever writing about everything), these are simply my top picks for 2012.  No doubt 2013 will bring many new products and many new lines from my favourite brands so I will have many more to blog about throughout the year, with my yearly ‘Best Beauty Products’ posted again on the 1 of January 2014.

I’ll kick things off with eye makeup as this is admittedly kind of large.  Being a qualified make-up artist this was bound to happen, so forgive the large amount I have in this category…

BEST IN BEAUTY – EYE MAKEUP

  1. Urban Decay – NAKED Palette
  2. Bobbi Brown – Shimmer Brick (this can be used on the whole face but I used mine mainly on my eyes)
  3. MAC – Brow Pencil in Stud (if they ever discontinue this I may actually cry)
  4. MAC – Eye Kohl Liner in Powersurge
  5. Maybelline – Colour Tattoo 24 hour eyeshadow (I would have loved to buy all the colours in this line as it is a truly superb long lasting eyeshadow, alas I only bought 2 and my favourite is Taupe)
  6. MAC – Paint Pots in Morning Frost and Groundwork (great worn alone or as an eyeshadow primer
  7. MAC – Fluidline in Blacktrack.  Thus far, the best black gel liner I’ve ever used
  8. MAC – Eyeshadows (don’t worry, I didn’t choose all the eyeshadows pictured here, just the ones shown most prominently).  Mineralize Pink Split, All That Glitters, Contrast, Jaunty (Hey Sailor collection), Bows & Curtseys, Coppering, A Natural Flirt (Glamour Daze collection).
  9. Urban Decay – 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Liner in Demolition and Perversion
  10. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Bourbon
  11. Stila – Light Up The World Eyeshadow Palette
  12. Mascara.  I’m a mascara junkie so I really do try as many as possible throughout the year.  My top 4 for 2012 are: Benefit – They’re Real! (LOVING this so much – I know it’s huge overseas and I can see why), Maybelline – Falsies, L’Oreal – Millions, Revlon – Grow Luscious

BEST IN BEAUTY – LIPS

I’m sure you will see from the above picture, I’m not big on lipsticks.  Yes I do like them, in fact I love the beautiful nearly nude colours however I am a HUGE fan of lip glosses, so obviously these are my favourite picks for 2012…

  1. MAC – Lipliner in Boldly Bare
  2. MAC – Cremesheen Lipstick in Shy Girl
  3. MAC – Lipsticks in Beauty and Fresh Brew
  4. Clarins – Instant Light Lip Perfector (this is a fabulous lipgloss!  When first applied it’s a slightly scary barbie pink, but within 1 minute it magically turns into the most natural light reflecting gloss I’ve every used)
  5. Witchery – Nude Gloss
  6. Lucas’ PaPaw – Lip balm (this deserved a mention as it is probably the most used of them all even though it really doesn’t count as a ‘lipstick/gloss’ as such
  7. Kiehls – Tinted Lip Balm
  8. MAC – Hey Sailor Lip Balm (I think this is my favourite combination of gloss & balm – LOVE!!)
  9. MAC – Cremesheen Gloss in Boy Bait (why oh why did you discontinue this MAC!!)
  10. MAC – Dazzleglass in Phiff! (Marilyn Collection) and Glitter and Ice
  11. MAC – Lipglass in Impossibly Sweet

BEST IN BEAUTY – FACE (foundations/Primers/highlighters etc)

  1. Garnier BB Cream – My summer ‘go to’ as I tend not to wear foundation during summer unless it’s an evening event/special occasion.
  2. Bobbi Brown BB Cream – I only recently discovered this BB Cream but already I love it!!  I would have liked to have tried the MAC BB Cream but alas they don’t seem to stock a BB Cream for those of us with olive skin *sad face*
  3. Foundations: MAC – Face & Body, MAC – Matchmaster, Maybelline – FIT Me!, Laura Mercier – Silk Creme Foundation (BTW, Laura Mercier Foundation – AMAZING!!)
  4. MAC – Blot Powder
  5. L’Oreal – Lumi Magique Base Primer
  6. Benefit – The POREfessional (this baby is amazing!!!!  The best product for minimising fine lines and pores that I’ve ever come across, EVER!!  Seriously, if you can get your hands on this – BUY IT)
  7. Smashbox – Photofinish Foundation Primer
  8. Urban Decay – Eyeshadow Primer Potion (don’t even bother applying eyeshadow unless you’ve applied this first.  No creasing whatsoever.  It will have your eyeshadow staying in place all day and night, no matter the temperature!!)
  9. Smashbox – Halo Highlighting Wand
  10. L’Oreal Lumi Magique Highlighting Pen
  11. MAC – Cover-up Concealer
  12. MAC – Pro Longwear Bronzing Powder
  13. MAC – Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft & Gentle
  14. MAC – Extra Dimension Skin Finish in Superb (This from the Glamour Daze range is by far the standout for cheek illumination/highlighting.  In fact the entire line from the Glamour Daze collection is simply to die!)
  15. MAC – Blush in Pressed Amber (this is my ‘go to’ blush as its so natural in looking)
  16. MAC – Cream Colour Base in Hush

BEST IN BEAUTY – MAKEUP BRUSHES

  1. Sigma – Makeup Me Classy Set (in leather case).  For me, Sigma Makeup Brushes are my NUMBER 1 when it comes to brushes.  They are absolutely amazing and quite honestly are as good as any other well know brand at half the cost.  You can purchase Sigma brushes in smaller sets or even just buy a single brush.  The Make Me Classy Set has all the main brushes and comes in this fab case that breaks apart to become brush holders (perfect for travel).  If you do want to purchase Sigma makeup brushes you can do so online by clicking on the “Sigma JANUARY Discount Code” image (located on my home page) which will allow you to use my 10% discount on anything on their website.
  2. Bobbi Brown – Ultra Fine Liner, Face Blender and the Bronzer Brush
  3. Smashbox – Kabuki Brush
  4. MAC – of course I had to feature the MAC 217 brush (I’m fairly certain this is the biggest ‘must have’ of all MAC’s brushes and the stippling brush which can be used for applying foundation AND I also use this to apply my cheek highlighters!

 

BEST IN BEAUTY – FACE SKINCARE

  1. Dermalogica – Daily Microfoliant (the oracle of all microfoliants!!)
  2. Trilogy – Certified Organic Rosehip Oil.  I was going to do a ‘Tried and Tested’ on this one very soon as I vowed to try this every day for a month before writing my review on it, however after just 2 1/2  weeks it had already secured its spot in my Best Beauty Products of 2012!.  My skin is visibly softer, smoother and more youthful in appearance and I just adore it!  I got my Trilogy Rosehip Oil from Health2000 online as this appears to be the place to shop to ensure ‘best bang for your buck’ as well as being the most informative in terms of product knowledge.  Click here to shop it.
  3. Nivea – Expert Lift Day Cream (I love good ol’ trusty Nivea.  For me this is  a fantastic affordable range of skin care.  I’ve used it for years and I will continue to do so.  With each new range they bring out they seem to only get better (although you discontinued one of my favourite day creams a few years ago Nivea and I still think about it now and wish you would bring it back!! It was in a medium-sized blue glass jar and it smelled like fresh clean linen and I miss it!!)
  4. Clinical Formulations – Skin Renewing Cream.  GLOWING SKIN in the morning after applying before bed!!
  5. BEE Nigma – Youthful Skin in a jar (unless you’re allergic to bees then it’s probably not going to be for you!)
  6. Nivea – Anti-wrinkle Day Cream
  7. Garnier – Intensive Night Treatment
  8. Garnier – Clean Sensitive Makeup Remover.  I have stuck to this tried and tested makeup remover for a couple of years now and I swear by it!  Gentle on your skin yet still removes waterproof makeup – LOVE!
  9. MAC – Strobe Cream – I doubt this needs any intro, but I will say – fabulous worn alone or as a primer under your foundation
  10. MAC – Mineralize Charged Water Eye Cream – Yes this is expensive but a little goes a loooooong way and its cooling properties feel SO good!!
  11. Bobbi Brown – Hydrating Eye Cream.  Hello divine hydrating eye cream.  This will probably make it into the 2013 Best Beauty Products!!

BEST IN BEAUTY – BODY

  1. L’Occitane Creme Mains – Hand Cream (I’ve only been through 3 of these this year – hand cream junkie!!)
  2. Body Shop – Vanilla Bath & Shower Gel and Vanilla Body Lotion (used it for 10 years, would use it for 10 more)
  3. MAC – To The Beach Body Oil (summer in a jar!)

BEST IN BEAUTY – HAIR

  1. MY HAIRDRESSER – Kurt of mod’s Ponsonby, is of course my number one on the list of BEST BEAUTY PRODUCTs of 2012 for hair.  Yes I’m well aware he’s not a product, but without him I would be lost and thus, he is at the top of my list!!  I cannot rave about my hairdressers enough (as all my friends will vouch for).  When you find a good hairdresser NEVER let them go and I trust my hair in the hands of ANY of the hairdressers at mod’s of Ponsonby!  They have seen me through countless dramas, like when I stupidly strayed and ruined my hair by going elsewhere whilst out-of-town, ugh – the salon that shall not be named seriously turned my hair a colour I actually stipulated I DID NOT WANT my hair to be…… Yup – without even so much as a disappointed look, mod’s completely corrected my hair back to its lovely colour they worked so hard over time creating.  And when I was sent a free DIY Hair Colour Package, again I ruined all Kurt’s hard work and actually cried that time, yup – they calmly went about undoing my stupidity and corrected it once again!!  My New Years resolution, much to mod’s relief, is that I will NEVER again DIY, go anywhere other than mod’s (even if I’m out-of-town for 3 months) nor will I ever try another free ‘anything’ from anywhere ever again.   If you are based in Auckland and don’t feel like you currently have THE BEST hairdresser, click mod’s hair PARIS and get yourself booked in to see any of their amazing hair experts based in their Ponsonby salon – you will never look back!! And I happily put my name to that statement!!  You could even mention I referred you and you never know, they might just offer you a referral discount 🙂
    Sorry, I digress, now where was I, ahhhh yes Best Beauty Products for Hair……….
  2. O&M – Hair Care (fab travel size pack of shampoo, conditioner, masques and leaves hair super clean plus amazing shine)
  3. Matrix – Conditioner (nevermind 2012 – this is my all time favourite brand of shampoo & conditioner and will continue to be for years to come)
  4. mod’s Hair PARIS (Ponsonby) – Volume & Energie Hair Lotion (heat activated conditioner spray that reconstructs and revives dull hair and adds elasticity) and their Masque Coloeur (this little beauty is a lifesaver when you are in-between salon visits).  This ‘Colour Fresh Up’ acts like a toner in-between colour treatments and adds brilliant shine to your hair.  mod’s hair experts will direct you to the best toner to suit your hair colour
  5. Redken Hairspray – this is the best hairspray because it’s flexible!!  Spray on hair prior to curling and there’s no stiffness whatsoever and you can re-work your hair as many times as you like!!

BEST IN BEAUTY – NAILS

I won’t bore you with all the hundreds of colours I love when it comes to nail polish.  These are simply my top picks for Nail Polish brands…..

  1. Butter London
  2. OPI – goes without saying, I am addicted!!
  3. Orly – this is fast becoming a ‘first love’ equal to OPI and I just adore their mini’s and beautiful colour sets, such as the  Cool Romance set shown above
  4. RUBY Nail Varnish – like their clothing, their nail polish is simply divine.  The colours are to die!! and the staying power is fantastic.  I have yet to wear a RUBY Nail polish without at least one person asking where I got my fabulous nail colour from
  5. L’Oreal Gel Polish – I can do gel nails at home and remove it myself too?!  Yes please!  I am in love with this new range – brilliant shine and I love the colour range!!  Alas I only have 2 but I vow to get MANY more I love this range so so much!
  6. Orly – Top2Bottom: The BEST Top/Base coat EVER!!

BEST IN BEAUTY – FRAGRANCE

Simply put, these are my 2012 favourite perfumes…

  1. Marc Jacobs – Daisy
  2. Gucci – Guilty
  3. Taylor Swift – Wonderstruck (don’t judge me !! It’s delicious!!)
  4. Cafe Cafe – Puro
Well lovelies, that’s it for 2012.  I hope this gives you some beauty inspiration, as well as some insight into a few products you may have been pondering in 2013 and I look forward to trying a tonne of new beauty products throughout 2013 and reporting back to all my much appreciated Gurlinterupted blog followers.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Caviar & Velvet On My Nails Please…

Textured nails are in hot demand and Caviar & Velvet mani’s are leading the way for this textured trend.

Basically what it involves is painting your nails with polish and then applying hundreds of tiny microbeads on top of each nail, making it appear as though they are decorated with caviar, or ‘hundreds & thousands’ if you go for the multi coloured look. For the ‘velvet mani’ – same process, paint nails and then apply a velvet dust, giving you a rich, matte, velvety nail.

UK Based Ciaté have made these nail looks easy & achievable with their ‘Caviar and Velvet Nail Kits’ so that you can DIY to your heart’s content.  On my hit list is the beautiful Caviar kit in Mother of Pearl.

The Velvet Kit:  The finished effect is unlike any other, giving an indulgent velvety coat to your manicure. Simply divine! Kit contains: 1 Paint Pot, 1 pot of luxurious crushed velvet powder and 1 little black brush.

The Caviar Kit: The finished effect gives nails an instant rich & sophisticated look. Kit contains: 1 pot of Caviar Beads, 1 Paint Pot.

OPI Announces Latest Collaboration…

OPI Products Inc. announced their latest collaboration today with multiple Grammy Award winning and multi-platinum selling recording artist Mariah Carey. A five-time Grammy Award winning global superstar with over 200 million records sold worldwide and 18 Billboard No. 1 singles (more than any solo artist in history), Carey will be the inspiration for a line of OPI limited edition nail lacquers that will launch January 2013.

Now the reason I’m so excited about this collection in particular is because the brand is using this collaboration to introduce a brand-new type of nail finish called Liquid Sand. Four of these “Stage Shades” (as opposed to the normal “Studio Shades”) feature a textured, matte finish when worn without a topcoat. The Liquid Sand nail lacquer offers a ‘never before seen’ look with a pebbled finish that lightly shimmers with fine glitter (whilst somehow still remaining matte).

I can’t wait to get my hands on ‘A Butterfly Moment’ – a sophisticated nude, that in my view, is a must-have from the Mariah collection.

Nail Art – How To Paint Nail Designs Perfectly On Both Hands!! (you don’t need to be ambidextrous)…

ImageSource: ChelleOnPinterest

Ever wanted to paint pretty designs on your nails but found that it was impossible to DIY because you have one dominant hand that’s brilliant at drawing designs and the other hand that’s, well, not so much? Here’s a solution!  Prepare your designs before applying to your nails….

You will need:
Nail Polish
Ziploc BAg – like a sandwich bag or something similar (not cling wrap as it’s just too flimsy)
Clear Top Coat
A Hairdryer (if you’re impatient)
A Nail File

– First, paint your designs onto a Ziploc bag (as I’ve done in the below pics).  You will need to do fairly thick
coats and probably around 2 coats in total.
– Allow each coat to fully dry before applying the next coat (this is where you may want to use a hair dryer set
at ‘cool’)
– Apply a base coat to your nails
– Peel your designs off the Ziploc bag and place them on your nails
– Finish with a topcoat and viola – you’re done!

If you find that the design is hanging slightly over the end of your nail, use a nail file to gently file away any stray ends.  Then apply your top coat.

Happy DIY!

Bobbi Brown Flagship Store Launch…

Last week saw the official media launch of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics’ first free-standing store in Auckland.  The exclusive line developed by celebrated makeup artist Bobbi Brown, brings the ‘you, but better’ brand experience to life with the opening of the flagship store located in the fashionable Britomart Precinct.  The Store is an expression of Bobbi’s unique philosophy and aesthetic; and the perfect way for consumers to discover Bobbi’s range of colour cosmetics, brushes, fragrance, skin care and expert services.

A stylish soiree with live music, delicious Veuve Clicquot, caviar and oysters.  A standout for me has to be the lovely ladies of Bobbi Brown – what a breath of fresh air they all are.  Not only were they incredibly helpful (without being in your face!), bursting with beauty industry knowledge and passionate about their brand, they made me feel like I was chatting with a friend whilst I asked them, what felt like a million questions, about all the different products and which product best met my needs.  A rare, yet very much appreciated quality indeed!  Oh and they didn’t bat an eyelid at the many colour swatches I tested on, well, pretty much every square inch of my hands and arms!

Here’s a sneak peek of the seamlessly executed launch of the Bobbi Brown Flagship store…

Latest Beauty Product Love: Savar

Thought I would write a quick wee late night Sunday post as I am genuinely excited about my latest little treasure I’ve discovered.  I am forever scouring the stores and looking online for new beauty products – always hoping that I’m going to find that amazing product that genuinely has me excited!!  For me, discovering a beauty product/make-up item that captures my attention and has me buzzing to share my new gem, is like finding treasure on a never-ending beauty product treasure hunt.  So here’s a little snippet on my latest discovery……..

Savar Essential Hydration Moisturiser

Enriched with New Zealand starflower oil, organic rosehip oil and mimosa extract, this facial moisturiser is absolutely divine!!   Admittedly I’m incredibly fussy when it comes to beauty products (some may even say ‘a beauty product snob’) so I really didn’t expect to be quite this enamoured with a brand that’s fairly new to me. Made in New Zealand, 99% natural and free from harmful chemicals, paragons, detergents, mineral oils and most importantly – no animal derived ingredients.  Savar’s moisturiser leaves no greasy, heavy residue, absorbs easily and has left my skin so soft and just feeling absolutely amazing!   The moment this bottle runs out – I will be purchasing this without a doubt!

RRP $59.00, you can check it out here SAVAR (along with all their other products).

PS: I Love Savar’s mantra – just gorgeous: ‘We don’t test our divine saver® natural skincare products on animals, just husbands, children and close friends!’
