I quite often buy make up from Supermarkets as I find it easy to remember to stock up on brand essentials while I’m pushing my trolley round. I also like that my red lipstick obsession helps rack up my clubcard points but we’ll not tell the husband about that one ok?
The BD Trade Secrets line is a Tesco own brand mainstay. Reliable quality and great value for money, I know I will always find what I need.
I picked this palette up in Sephora back in December and it has rapidly become my every day go-to palette. I can do soft day looks to vampy smokey eyes all from the 12 warm toned shadows.
I really think Kat von D’s make up line doesn’t get enough love. I have a few palettes and lip products now and the quality is just outstanding! I wish it was more readily available in the UK.
Joining the ranks of GOSH’s existing primers, the new Primer + Hydration* is a welcome addition.
Applying like a velvety soft moisturiser, the primer soaks in quickly and gets to work minimising the appearance of fine lines and pores. When worn with a matte or drying formula foundation, the product glides on effortlessly without clinging to dry patches. The wear feels that little bit more comfortable over the winter months when the skin can feel tight and loaded up with base product.
Combining the primer with a dewy or oil based foundation kept the foundation feeling solid and present on the skin after a 10hr day. I did feel I needed to powder more after applying the base with this combination but again it felt very comfortable on the skin.
I can imagine this primer being a year long favourite for ladies with dry skin or that prefer matte, high coverage bases. In the summer months when skin is parched from sun worship, it will provide some welcomed moisture before the base without disrupting the wear.
The primer contains Snow Algae which provides anti ageing properties to the primer does not provide any long lasting moisturising benefits so you will still need to use your regular moisturiser.
The Primer + Hydration primer retails for £13.99 but is currently on offer at Superdrug for £8.99
‘HERE I AM’
Fenwick of Bond Street launches ‘Here I Am’, a year–long campaign inspired by Jim Fenwick’s first words as he arrived on Bond Street in 1891
Here I Am, by Andrei Robu
Fenwick of Bond Street, which has retained its prominence on Bond Street for the fashion cognoscenti since opening in 1891, announces the launch of ‘Here I Am’, a year-long campaign inspired by the words JJ Fenwick (known as Jim) said after first arriving on Bond Street in 1891 to open his ground-breaking new concept (combining the selling of different goods in clearly defined departments under one roof), today known as a department store.
Here I Am’ heralds Jim Fenwick, one of England’s greatest retail pioneers as its muse. The campaign will celebrate Fenwick’s unique story by taking customers through a journey of unexpected collaborations that will be infused through Fenwick of Bond Street’s products, events, services and windows.
2015 marks the advent of a new era, and a new moment for Fenwick of Bond Street, as the retailer embarks on the next phase of its journey to become famous as London’s House of Style.
Paying homage to Jim Fenwick’s concept of collaborating with cool new artists of the day, Fenwick has invited artist Andrei Robu to illustrate the words ‘Here I Am’ through a series of art installations which will go live in the retailer’s iconic Bond Street windows in January 2015.
Also launching in January is Fenwick’s limited edition ‘Here I Am’ beauty bag. The exclusive cosmetics bag features 24 of the most sought after beauty products from brands including Eve Lom, Suqqu, Laura Mercier, Clarins and Chantecaille to help start the New Year with a beautiful glow. The beauty bag is worth £250, and will be offered complimentary whilst stocks last to customers who spend £200 in Fenwick of Bond Street’s beauty hall.
