Pure Color Sensuous Rouge
Estee Lauder’s creative makeup director Tom Pecheux have created a doubly brilliant lip colour for this season. Combining a bold, deeply pigmented lipstick with the hydrating and dazzling sheen of a gloss in the core, Pure Color Sensuous Rouge could be the ultimate lipstick, if you could tolerate the strong scent of Lauder’s lipstick.
I like Rose Exposed & Wistful Wisteria. At £20 a fix, it better be brilliant !
Lancome Visionnaire
Lancome’s newest beauty weapon against wrinkles, pigmentation, enlarged pores & unevenness – Visionnaire (LR 2412)

The first skincare formulation created to ” fundamentally recreate truly beautiful skin “; A new molecule that is able to ” self-propel ” itself through the layers of the epidermis to set off a series of tissular micro-transformations.
So, ultra absorbent lotions & potions are so last season ! With Lancome’s LR 2412, active ingredients are now actively diffusing into your skin.
