Guest Post | Michael Kors Bombshell Lipstick

 

 

 

Stacey’s Lip Six posts have been the cause of many a high end lipstick splurge, so it was only apt that I reviewed the latest object of my lippie affections. With a vast collection of bold lipsticks and an unhealthy obsession with the one and only Michael Kors, it was inevitable that at least one of the lip products from the designers beauty line would eventually make its way into my collection. Que the Michael Kors Lip Lacquer in Bombshell, a vibrant fuchsia shade embossed with the MK label and encased within the most luxurious, yet effortlessly sleek gold packaging. 


Everything about bombshell is perfect from the show stopping yet simple packaging (this really is a product fit to adorn any dressing table), to the long lasting, super moisturizing formula enriched with Shea Butter and Vitamin E. This beautiful Lip Lacquer is sheer enough for a subtle pop of colour, yet buildable enough to create a bold statement.


Bombshell is a little on the pricey side (£23), but my argument is that its a lot cheaper than one of his beautiful bags, or eye catching arm candy. If pinks not your thing, do not fret as this lipstick is part of three sub collections, Sexy (above), sporty (subtle nudes), and Glam (vampy reds). All of which can be purchased from the likes of Escentual and Debenhams. 


Have you tried anything from Michael Kors’ Beauty line?


Before I go I would just like to say thank you to Gemma and Stacey for letting me guest post on Expat Makeup Addict. Stacey you truly are a beautiful, brave woman. I wish you all the best wishes and a speedy recovery. 

A Hint of Sparkle

New Michael Kors handbag!

Recently I blogged about What's is my handbag and mentioned I was getting a new handbag for work and here it is!

Michael Kors Tilda Large Tote

This is the large size saffiano leather tote in black.  I really like saffiano leather, my Prada bag is also made of saffiano leather which is hardwearing and scratch resistant.

Its a boxy square tote with simple gold hardware and Michael Kors embossed on the gold metallic strip on the front and gold studs on the bottom.

The biggest thing I don't like about this bag (and I didn't know when I bought it as I bought it online and didn't check properly) is it has a centre compartment.  I am not sure the bag is big enough for everything I like to carry and I wish it didn't have the centre compartment which in effect divides the bag into three. I like a tote where you can literally chuck everything in but this bag is going to prove to be an organisational challenge because of the compartments!

I will use the bag and see how I get on, it would be perfect if it didn't have the centre compartment.  It's good quality and sturdy and a really lovely design.

What I didn't mention is that I also bought a second bag.  Amy from The Little Koala (who also re-designed my blog for me and did a fantastic job!) did a wonderful What's in my handbag post featuring the Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac bag and I thought it was a gorgeous gorgeous bag!

The Mini Mac comes in a variety of different colours and I picked up the tan one because I thought it was a colour lacking in my handbag wardrobe!

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac

The bag is really soft leather and has gold hardware.  I don't wear a lot of gold even though for accessories I really like it.  It has a long strap so it's perfect for days out and shopping trips.  Again it has a studded bottom which I really like and an extra compartment under the main flap of the bag.  The main compartment of the bag is through the zip along the top which I am really pleased with because I have a Mulberry Alexa and having to open the flap constantly to get into the bag drives me insane!

I really do like this bag and am really tempted by the larger version in black!

This is a rare post for me as I usually post about beauty but it is nice to do something different for a change!
