DuWop Private Lipstick

Pastel pinks and colourful coral’s are big this summer, but finding the right shade for you can be difficult.

 Thankfully DuWop have come to the rescue with their Private Lipstick range and two gorgeous new shades- Private Coral & Private Pink.

Not heard of the Private range before? Well...

Each shade adapts to each person’s distinctive chemistry and will adjust accordingly, providing the perfect hue for their colouring. 

The ‘magic’ formula behind Private Lipsticks is a perfect mix of science and nature, blending three naturally derived pigments: Annatto (to give the rich pigment), Hibiscus (flowers offer gentle antiseptic properties) and Henna (to provide the lasting ‘stain’) help create this perfect lipstick and the technology behind classic ‘mood lipsticks’ of the 1970’s to providing you with a Perfect and Unique shade.

Cool eh! (or should I say Groovy)

I love these lippies, not just for their fab pigmentation but for their moisturising formula too.

 Beeswax,Caster Oil and Vitamin E keep the colour lightweight and ensure your lips are kissably soft all day long.

 

I found the Private Coral such a pretty colour; not too red or orange and the Private Pink complimented my skin tone as opposed to clashing horribly!

At £19 each they aren’t the cheapest option around, but if you want to ensure a great colour match and a long lasting look, these lippies are for you.

The Private range from DuWop is available from Simply Beauty.

Marilyn Monroe's Other Favourite Fragrance?

What did Marilyn Monroe wear in bed?

‘Why, Chanel No. 5, of course' 

Or was it?

These are the words famously spoken by Marilyn Monroe when asked about her night wear.

New information has come to light however, suggesting that Marilyn had another fragrance which she loved too.

Prompted by the forthcoming 50th anniversary of her death in August 1962 and the opening of the Marilyn exhibition at the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum in Florence, British perfume house Floris has dipped into its archives and made an amazing discovery.

It seems that on the 14^th December 1959, a Marilyn Monroe Miller ordered 6 bottles of Floris Rose Geranium under the false name Miss Dorothy Blass (who was actually Marilyn’s personal secretary)

The perfumes were sent from the Floris shop in Jermyn Street London to the Beverly Hills Hotel in California where she was staying after filming Some Like It Hot.

 My favourite Marilyn film by the way!

I love these little details about her life that eventually come to light.  In a way,  I feel as if it allows you a little peek into aspects of her life you would never have otherwise known.

Sadly you are no longer able to purchase the Rose Geranium scent in an eau de toilette form, however it is still available as a bath essence and soap.

I need to get my hands on one of these to see just what it was about  the scent that Marilyn loved!

Holly Willoughby Talks Toothpaste & Beauty!

Say hello to National Treasure  Holly Willoughby, the new face of Oral-B's 3D White Toothpaste!

I caught up with the lovely lady herself to find out a bit more about this new miracle product and to discover all about her beauty secrets!

 

Congratulations on becoming the ‘smile’ for Oral-B’s 3D White Toothpaste!  What made you decide to be the face of their new product?

I would never work with a brand I didn’t trust, and Oral-B for me, is a brand that I am happy to be working with and have in my home for the whole family to use.  

 I have learnt all there is to know about teeth and oral care and I’m very proud to be working with Oral-B

Have you noticed a big difference since using it? 

I’ve been using 3D White toothpaste for a few weeks now, and my teeth look great; my teeth look whiter even between the gaps.

You recently tweeted a pic of yourself without any make up- do you enjoy being make up free or do you love wearing it? 

I don’t put any on before I go to the studio, just a little bit of moisturiser when I’ve hopped out the shower. In the morning before I leave for work (at 7.30am) 

I use Liz Earle in the shower, brush with Oral-B 3D White toothpaste to make sure my smile is on form!

How important is your appearance to you?

As a TV presenter my teeth are always on show.  Doing so much talking and interviewing I need to have a really nice smile, I can’t have yellow crooked teeth as thousands of people are watching!

For me, it’s not about having an absolutely perfect bright white smile as that wouldn’t fit with my overall look, but they do need to look white and clean.

How do you cope if you have a fat/unattractive/bad hair day when you know you still have to go to work and be on TV?

I don't have that much time to think about those sort of things. Once I'm dressed, that's the last thing I think about and if I spent all day worrying, it'd be a nightmare.

Please share with us one of your top secret beauty tips

Heat your eye lash curlers with a hair dryer before using them for a really bouncy lash and also, make sure you floss your teeth.

 You can have a great face of make-up but if you have stains in between your teeth from not flossing, your smile won’t look as good as your look. 

What Make up brands do you love?

Oral-B 3D White toothpaste – I don’t have time for really long beauty treatments so using 3D white is perfect for me. It takes no time at all and gives me really natural white teeth

Max Factor Waterproof mascara – I’m a big fan of Max Factor mascaras – and they do a great waterproof one

Sisley Nutritive Lip Balm – Recommended to me by my make-up artist. A great handbag beauty product

Liz Earle Tinted Moisturiser – this is great for Mum’s on the go. Quick and easy.

OPI and Essie nail varnishes – I love all the bright colours on offer. I’m also a fan of gel nails too.

Do you have a beauty Icon?

I think Scarlett Johnson is so beautiful. Her look is really effortless and she just exudes this beautiful confidence. She’s got a really classic, naturally beautiful look.

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

Use a Tinted Moisturiser - then you can just whack it on – time is of the essence! Plus curl your eyelashes!

The 3D toothpaste launches this month with an RRP of £3.49 and is available in Boots, Superdrug and other leading retailers.
