Sweet scents and sultry lips

SCENTS:

Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent

The new fragrance by YSL, Black Opium is the must-have scent of this season. From its beautiful, dark and mysterious packaging resembling wet, glistening tar to its decadent floral notes of white flowers blended with black coffee, it’s both sweet and bitter at the same time. It is really addictive.

Bonbon by Viktor Rolf

 

Our book editor, Tammy February says: ‘I first fell in love with Viktor Rolf’s fragrances when I was introduced to Flowerbomb. With its explosion of sweet, fizzy and exotic flowers, this perfume definitely proved to be one of my favourites of all time. Naturally, when I was given the opportunity to give Rolf’s Bonbon a try, I jumped at the chance.

‘The perfume, which is in the shape of a big and pretty pink candy wrapper, contains notes of caramel (which I love), peach and mandarin – pretty much what you can expect from a perfume named after a sweet.’  

Aura by Swarovski

When this pretty little diamond-encrusted perfume arrived on our desk, Tammy knew she had to have it.
This fragrance is absolutely DIVINE. The scent is sweet, but not cloying and with its fruity and flowery notes, it’s the perfect blend of flirty with a touch of playful.

In short, it’s pretty much diamonds in liquid form.

LIPS:

Color Riche Collection Exclusive Pure Reds

This limited edition range that features a variety of luscious matte red shades by actresses and models such as Eva Longoria, Freida Pinto, Jennifer Lopez and Blake Lively is on our radar this summer season.

From Freida’s almost fuchsia pink ‘red’ to a deep red by Blake – there is a rouge for every woman.

Pairs perfectly with a short little black dress and a pair of great heels.

 

GOSH Lip Lacquer in Hot Lips

A truly brilliant mix of both a lipstick and a gloss. It has the intense lip stain of a lipstick and the shine of a gloss.  Contains Argan oil and Vitamin E to keep lips moisturised throughout warm and dry seasons.
