Vaseline Limited Edition Queen Bee Lip Therapy

I love Vaseline and Their Lip Therapy tins are one of my must have beauty staples. I literally have a tin everywhere; in my handbag, bed side table, in my coat, dressing gown, you get the picture.

Given my love for this product you can imagine how excited I get when they launch limited edition versions. Until now, Creme Brûlée has reigned as my all time fave, but it's just been knocked off the top spot.

Queen Bee is the fourth Limited Edition Lip Therapy from Vaseline.

It not only heals and cares for dry lips, but it will also bring out the Queen Bee in you!

This Honeylicious lip therapy contains all the goodness you’d find in an original lip therapy but with a gorgeously delicate hint of honey.

To celebrate this gorgeous little lovely I was asked to create my very own personalised bee design.

I was sent a Queen Bee stencil and customisation kit and left to my own creative devices to create what I think I might look like as a Queen Bee!

Now let me be clear, I’ve not indulged in any arts and crafts for YEARS so my creation is far from perfect.

To illustrate this point, my husband kindly pointed this out to me by saying ‘did you mean to colour outside the line?’ ....

Work in progress!

 

YES I did not thank you husband!

That said I’m pretty proud of my attempt!

My Queen Bee is the epitome of regal royalty with a large dose of glamour thanks to her sparkly crown adorned with black jewels, but it’s not just her bling that sparkles!

No-one can dull my Queen Bee’s shine thanks to her glittery, lilac and gold wings and black and gold stripes. She’s earned those!

Thick black lashes make her blue eyes pop and are guaranteed to cause a flutter among her hive!

I’ve decided to name my Queen Bee, Queen Bee Fabulicious (obviously!)

Vaseline’s Limited Edition Queen Bee Lip Therapy is available now from Boots and Tesco and costs £3.99.

90210's Jessica Lowndes Talks Beauty

There is little more in life that I enjoy than snuggling down into a big, thick dressing gown with a cup of hot cocoa on a cold, winters evening and catching up on the goings on of the young and beautiful hotties basking in the heat of the Californian sun in 90210 on E4.

Their fresh, gorgeous tanned faces take me away from the reality of the dark afternoon’s and the bitterly cold weather going on around me in the far less glamorous location of Essex.  

One of the most gorgeous stars of the show is Jessica Lowndes.

(I’m not ashamed to admit that I may have a bit of a girl crush on her)

After all, its not hard to see why. With her piercing green eyes, glossy, flowing brunette locks and flawless skin, she is unquestionably, gorgeous.

Not content with just being a pretty face, Jessica is also very talented. Her role as Adriana in 90210 has seen her take on some hugely challenging story lines, and on top of all of that, she’s also a singer!

I caught up with the lady herself during a whistle-stop visit to the UK and got her to dish the dirt on her beauty secrets.

What is your favourite beauty brand?

I don’t have a favourite I like to mix up my brands depending on products that I use, if a make-up artists has used a product on me that I like then I’ll often try that when I do my own make-up too.  

When do you feel most beautiful?

When I’m exercising and being active. 

Do you have a beauty Icon?

Elizabeth Taylor, for me she was beautiful. 

As a high profile star, do you feel pressure from the media to look ‘perfect’

No one is perfect so I know that isn’t possible as long as I am happy then that’s all that matters to me, everyone has different opinions on what is perfect anyways.  As an actress you obviously make sure you look your best but I don’t feel pressure from the industry. 

  Can you share with us one of your trade secret beauty tips?

It’s boring but true, drink plenty of water and take your make-up off before bed and get plenty of sleep! 

How do you get your hair so shiny and voluminous?

I tend to let my hair dry naturally so I’m not heating it all the time and drinking water keeps my hair healthy.  

What brand of make up gets used on the set of 90210 as you girls always look so flawless!

I’m always asking the make-up artists on set for tips to use myself. On set they use Armani luminous silk foundation to give everyone’s skin a great glow

Jessica & her co-stars in 90210

What Can we expect from Adrianna in the next season of 90210?

Adrianna is trying to redeem herself this series, I don’t want to spoil it for the UK viewers so I will just say watch this space!

(90210 airs Tuesday at 9pm on E4 from Jan 3^rd)

What was the best piece of beauty advice you have ever been given?

As an actress and performer you pick up tricks of the trade I’m always learning and asking for tips! Just making sure you look after your skin, keep it hydrated and stick to what suits you, don’t wear or use something just because it’s in fashion or popular. 

What does ‘Beauty’ mean to you?

Having confidence and being happy with who you are.

What’s next for Jessica Lowndes?

I am focusing on my music, I have my 4 track EP out on i-tunes now, and my next single ‘Nothing Like this’ is available on i-tunes this month.   

‘I wish I was Gay’ was my first solo music video which was really fun to make. I have released all my music independently.
