Stuff You Can Buy Today

I haven’t done one of these posts for ages, but there are so many new launches at the moment and little exciting beauty news for my Beauty Business posts, so I thought we might as well go shopping!

Charlotte Tilbury Mini Miracle Eye Wand

First up, the Mini Miracle Eye Wand – it totally worked for me and is an incredibly impressive product. Charlotte Tilbury Mini Miracle Eye Wand is a two step system to brighten, tighten and conceal the under eye area. Step 1 is a smoothing and hydrating complex containing hyaluronic acid, Salicornia (a succulent, salt tolerant plant), Acanthum (thistle) and Cyclodextrins (a stabliizer) and rice proteins. Both steps use a twist and brush method, and there are four tone shades to choose from.  My original post with a bit more info is HERE and the product is £29 HERE. While it’s really not my job to sell product, this is the best eye product I think I’ve ever used. Pricey, but nicey.

The bag in the main picture is a reclaimed vintage cotton shopper and lots of fun for £5 HERE.

Elizabeth Hurley Estee Lauder
Evelyn Lauder Elizabeth Hurley Dream Pink Collection

I haven’t seen this collection in the flesh (and don’t like to accept products that could be put to better use raising money than being swatched on my arm), but you know, a Lauder lipstick is always a lovely thing to have or to give. As we are now in Breast Cancer Awareness month this is a timely launch. So, shades are Tumultuous Pink, Powerful, and Rebellious Rose plus a little pink bag. 20% of the retail price goes to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation for which Estee Lauder as a company raises literally millions for.  It’s £28 HERE.

Nails Inc Crackers

A single Nails Inc Cracker costs £19 for three polishes, but this set of six costs £38. I can’t move for festive things right now, and this is one of the better offerings I think especially for Christmassy girls’ nights out. Nails Inc always deliver on quality and the polishes are all full size. You can find it HERE.

Gerard Gloss

I don’t this brand at all, but it keeps on cropping up on Instagram, so I’ll be taking a proper look at it in the near future. Beautybay.com is stocking some incredible brands right now – these glosses feature a mirror on the side of the lid and a light up wand (how to terrify your boyfriend in the middle of the night BUT handy for finding your keys in the dark) and they’re £15 each HERE.

Kiss

Kiss & Love
Kiss & Love

I’ve reviewed the YSL Kiss & Love collection HERE and it looks like this palette is a Selfridges exclusive – it’s pricy at £59, but really a beautiful palette. It’s HERE. The lipsticks haven’t launched on line yet, but they’re fabulous – I’m trying to get my hands on the limited distribution shade in a blackened red and I’ll flag it up as soon as I do.

    Happy Friday Jane!
    I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned the new Smashbox Contour palette yet, called Shape matters, which went on sale yesterday? I bought it on a whim & it’s pretty good!

      I don’t cover Smashbox at all.. there’s a post about it somewhere!

        I’ve found the post… and I had absolutely no idea about this chilling story. I’m glad to learn the brand has changed ownership since, but I also understand your opinion/ ban remain unchanged and I’m sure you’re not the only one. Thanks for enlightening us as always, even when it’s about difficult subjects!

          Although I read that even though Estee Lauder owns the brand, the Factor brothers are still at its helm (which I had failed to understand from your post). That palette will be my 1st and last purchase from that brand I think…!

          1. Jane

            It’s just my personal stance and I have stuck by it for a decade so won’t be changing any time soon unless the management does. x

  3. The YSL kiss & love lipsticks are really calling my name! I don’t like the kisses on the rest of the packaging but it’s pretty subtle on the lipsticks and just so pretty!Also curious about your opinion on Gerard Cosmetics, I’m a bit sceptical of it at the moment as it always seems sponsored and .. I don’t know, just waiting to hear your opinion on it! =)

      I haven’t tried them (that I can remember) – they haven’t been in touch with me for reviews or anything so I may buy a couple of things to give them a go. I will find out more about them at the very least.

  4. Ahh I need to buy the Charlotte Tilbury eye wand!!
