HEAT WAVE

Earlier this week I received a little goody bag from my dear friends over at ASOS (and this time not a naughty purchase i’d made) … instead it was a little gift which made a surprise landing on my doorstep, perking up my week considerably. In celebration of ASOS’s (awesome) beauty range I got a special delivery featuring 3 picks from their range … I am going to assume handpicked as the items I received were exactly my kinda thang!

 

I received this beautiful red Nars lippy in the colour ‘Heat Wave’, a cute Pixi powder set (so dainty and feminine) & a Too Faced mascara (all coming soon on my blog once i’ve tried and tested). But given it’s Friday and we’ll all be looking for a little day to night look upgrade ahead of this evenings Friday night celebrations, I thought this lippy could be a good source of makeup inspiration.

Adding a touch of bold lipstick is my number one tip / trick for transitioning you from work to evening (when there’s no luxury of going home to get ready – In London this is the situation on any evening event). A bold (preferably red) lipstick instantly vamps up your look, adds a touch of glamour and makes you feel a little more ‘worth it’. This new Nars lipstick is going to become a handbag essential for me, the colour is a lush pinky red mix (even a tad orangey) which is perfect for Spring.
