Question of the Week – When it comes to grooming the brows, what’s your preference? Wax, tweeze or thread?

lipstickleague - final

Answer: -  Threading all the way!  Once I’d finally put the tweezers down and made friends with my local threading lady, my barely-there brows began to thrive and I now sport an impressive pair of forehead-warmers!

Question of the Week: Imagine there is some calamity and all makeup production ceases. You only have what is left in your stash. What kind of makeup will you run out of first and what kind of makeup will you run out of last?

lipstickleague - final

Answer - I will never run out of red lipstick, I have far too many for one woman and it makes me feel all sorts of guilty at the pure excess when I look at my collection.  The first thing I would run out of would be my Illamasqua eyebrow powder, I don’t buy backups, I only like one shade and I use it everyday.

Posted by Lipglossiping On March - 17 - 2013

Question of the Week – What’s your current favorite face powder and why?

lipstickleague - final

Answer – It’s this one from Clarins Autumn collection the year before last!  I’ve already secured a backup of it on eBay.  It’s so finely textured for a pressed powder and brightens my complexion without adding any sparkle.  Simply perfect.  In my opinion, Clarins make the best pressed face-powders on the market.

Posted by Lipglossiping On March - 10 - 2013

Question of the Week – What essential products would you recommend to a friend who is just starting to build her beauty arsenal?

lipstickleague - final

Answer: - I used to be reluctant to part with significant amounts of money, so it’d be no good trying to fill a newbie’s makeup bag with Chanel.  For starters, I’d suggest a capsule collection of: Avon Supershock Gel Eyeliner, Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer or Maybelline mineral one, A cheap neutral eye palette, Maybelline mascara (the yellow tubed one), NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, done.  Oh wait, blush…. ummm… a MyFace Cosmetics one I think.
