Beauty Looks A-Z: Burlesque

It's make-up monday and this week I am sharing my product list for a 'B' beauty look, where B stands for Burlesque.

The collection is bursting with all the rouge products you would expect, including Bobbi Brown's limited edition Pretty Pot, an Estee Lauder Double Wear scarlet lipstick and a rosy Illamasqua blusher.

Not only that, but my edit of burlesque beauty products includes a coal-black MAC kohl eyeliner, a pretty pearl primer and a divine Tom Ford fragrance worth £300, which I can only dream about for the rest of my life.

Here's my best of burlesque beauty products from top to bottom:
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Lipstick in Stay Scarlet (£19.50)
Urban Decay Urban Lash False Eyelashes Darlin (£11.50)
YSL La Laque Couture in Rose Futuriste (£18)
Bobbi Brown Limited Edition Pretty Powerful Pot Rouge (£18)
ArtDeco Mineral Lip Styler in Mineral Red (£9)

Very Haul: Lips & Nails

It all started with a dress - the one item I actually went on Very's website for.

Ladies, you know the drill - we all intend to buy just one thing we actually need, and come out with at least five things we didn't know we wanted until we saw them! I just can't resist a lip and nail haul, and I've got some real beauties to show you this time around.

Let's start with the lips, shall we?

On the left is Bourjois Rouge Edition lipstick in Fuschia Graffiti (£8). Just like I didn't think I would buy a Barry M Gelly nail polish, but gave in and bought the lovely Lychee, I also didn't think I would get one of these babies. But that all changed when I saw the 07 shade on the blogosphere and fell in love. Fuschia is one of my go-to lip colours - it totally brightens up my eyes and it's just such a pretty colour too.

Then on the right is Rimmel London's Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate in Shade 107 (£6), which is such a lovely deep red and the colour looks so fantastic in the flesh too.

I love both of these lipsticks and I can't wait to try them at tweet LOTD pics!

Moving swiftly on to the nail polishes I bought, the first new product in my collection Nails Inc's Shoreditch Lane Leather Nail Polish (£12). This is my first ever 'texture' polish and I couldn't resist buying it. I love the burgundy red colour, although I feel like it's going to be a totally different colour on the nail! Will keep you posted on that one.

Then we have this super sweet Butter London nail polish in Jasper Lemon (£12), which is basically lemon sorbet in a bottle. I instantly fell in love with this polish on the site and decided I needed it in my life!

This polish also has a lift-open top, which I didn't expect. It's different!

What do you think of the products I bought? Have you tried them? xxx

New Beauty Buys at ASOS, Space.NK & Selfridges

Before I start this post, I should let you know that I recently had a bit of an ASOS and Space.NK haul, so I probably won't be able to buy any of these products for a while, but there's no harm in window shopping (right?!)

Here's my edit of the new-in beauty buys at ASOS, Space.NK and Selfridges, which includes a few limited edition products, fab fruity shower goodies and staple make-up shades.

Hope you like them!
