Product of the Week Review

Sofie has spent the week reviewing Chanel lipstick, Rouge Allure Velvet

 

Shade: 40 'La Sensuelle'

 Cost: £25.00

Review: This is the ultimate lipstick, you just can't go wrong. To start with this lipstick comes in Chanel's signature case, stunning and classic it instantly makes you feel like a film star. The lipstick shade is one I have used on all skin tones and it just seems to suit everyone. A dark berryness this is moisturizing and Matt. You can use straight from the bullet for an intense look or dabbed on for a lip stained look.
 The only thing I would say is that your lips have to be well conditioned before using this as otherwise it can show up any cracks or dryness. But nothing a light buffing with a toothbrush and some lip balm wouldn't handle. So for a beleated Valentines date or actually any hot occasion the lipstick to reach for is 'La Sensualle' the name says it all!

What's in my make up bag this week?

MAC Prime and Prep. 
Skin enhancer.
Neutralize.  

This yellow based product completely eradicates those areas that are showing red pigments and is great for this time of the year with skin that is dehydrated from central heating or chapped from snuffly noses. You can use it either under your foundation or alone and is super hydrating too with a SPF 35. I find just using a touch around the nose can transform your look from tired and cold to fresh and flawless! It retails at £23.00 but a little goes a long way, come into The Powder Room for a try.

Product of the Week @ thePowderRoom

LUSH, Lustre dusting powder. 

Price: £10.25 

This is a beautiful product, not one I'd use everyday but for those special occasions it works it's magic to engulf you in a cloud of gold, jasmine smelling lushness!! It's a highlighting/ dusting powder which is 100% vegan. You can use it with a powder puff for all over shimmeryness or as I like to use it, with a blusher brush. Just a sweeping at the top of the cheekbone. My only criticism would be the packaging as it only comes in a bottle form and feels a pot would be easier to use and wouldn't waste as much product. But overall this is a truly magical product that make me want to twirl around to the theme tune of a Disney film!!

Flashback Friday

We all remember the crucial moment when Tippi Hendren's French pleat is untied by hundreds of birds in the Hitchcock thriller 'The Birds'.

We took a little look back and at the glamorous lady herself for inspiration and brought that vintage look back into the salon

Sofie, our in house make-up artist and stylist took that inspiration and transformed it into a very elegant French Pleat on one of our clients. We sent her dancing to her Christmas Ball.
Let's hope she's home before the birds sing!
