FRIDAY FAVE! Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips 2: In Love with Olivia

A satin finish muted nude soft pink lipstick, for me the perfect nude natural lip colour!

Hydrates and conditions (lipstick tree extract) and moisturises (crumb oil).

The lipstick casing is beautiful and this lipstick is also interchangeable and refillable with the other eleven Hot lips shades, there are five different designs of the lipstick casing.

The Hot Lips 2 range was created in collaboration with 11 incredible Icons. The shade 'In Love with Olivia' was made in homage to Olivia Palermo.

This is great colour for any Brides looking for a natural lipstick shade, a new staple in my pro' kit.

I honestly think this lipstick would look stunning on almost anyone, definitely a "Friday Fave!"

RRP £30.00

Pro' Tip! Apply lip liner lightly all over the lips prior to lipstick application.  I like to use the original Pillow talk lipliner with this lipstick for my perfect natural day look.

FRIDAY FAVE! got 2b POWDER'ful










Have you tried using hair powder for texture and volume? If not you should absolutely try it!

Definitely one of my favourite methods for creating root lift and achieving voluminous texture in up-dos, waves and braids.

I like the fact you can shake the product to distribute it, in my experience the spray power versions available gradually block up the spray-pump and stop working.

Apply a small amount (a little goes a long way) to the hair roots for volume and root boost. 

This can be applied to the palm of the hand gently rub hands together and work through the hair roots or shake directly from the bottle to the roots and work into the hair with fingers.

got2b POWDERful is my go-to product for this!  It is a a vegan powder that adds texture to the hair to provide long lasting hold and volume and is also much more reasonably priced than some of the others on the market (RRP £5.65). Available to purchase on Amazon, Tesco, Boots and Superdrug.

A definite "Friday Fave!".

Pro Tip! Shake a little of the powder directly to the root of a small section of hair and gently back-comb each section for stronger hold and added volume, to finish set with hairspray.
