Estée Lauder Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Lipstick in Potent

Estée Lauders Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Lipstick in the shade Potent* has become one of favourite lipsticks over the past couple of months and I honestly can't get enough of the creamy formula and pretty tone.

A pretty, wearable Pink- Estée Lauders Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Lipsticks offer an incredibly creamy formula that applies like a dream. Formulated for a full coverage, I really like the finish and love how it wears on the lips. Fading away nicely after a fair few hours, Potent is the perfect day time lipstick that sits comfortably and isn't drying in the slightest.

With multi-faceted pigments to create definition, the idea of Estée Lauders Sculpting Lipsticks is that they shape, sculpt and make your lips look more curvaceous which in all honestly, I think they do. My lips certainly appear slightly more plumped when I apply Potent, without physically being plumped at all. 

Homed in a luxury magnetic closing case, I'm a huge fan of these new Estée Lauder lipsticks and will be building up a collection I'm sure. 

Available to buy now at Estée Lauder counters in the likes of Selfridges, John Lewis and Debenhams, Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Lipsticks cost £24 and are available in 21 shades.

I'd love to know if you've tried any of these lipsticks and what your thoughts are on what I think is such a beautiful formula.

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Summer Collection 2014

Bronze Goddess is a collection that I look forward to every year and last year, the limited edition and extremely popular fragrance Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche SkinScent was by far my favourite product of the Summer. 

Consisting of a huge twenty-one products, Bronze Goddess is the perfect Summer collection that for me, will be pretty hard to beat.

Limited Edition Bronze Goddess Whipped Body Crème 200ml RRP £29.00

The Bronze Goddess fragrance collection is an all time favourite of mine and I'm so pleased that the cult favourite Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche SkinScent* has been re-released for yet another year. With notes of Amber, Coconut Milk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Mandarin, Orange, Lemon, Jasmine and Lavender, it is the most stunning Summer fragrance and can only be described as smelling like a Summer holiday with cocktails and suntan lotion and it honestly is so incredibly dreamy and well worth stocking up on.

The three new fragrance products that have graced this years collection are the Body Splash*, which comes in the most divine looking of bottles, the Shimmer Body Oil, which offers the fragrance as well as a shimmering and soft effect on the skin and a new favourite of mine, the Whipped Body Creme which smells incredible, lingers beautifully and keeps your skin perfectly moisturised throughout the day.

For nails, Estée Lauder have created five new Pure Color Nail Lacquers* in the most delightful of shades each to suit the amazingly designed bottles. Of course, being the Nude loving girl that I am, Bare immediately caught my eye and I've been wearing it every day for the past week, with a huge amount of love and lots of compliments. I imagine come the Summer time, Buffed, Burnished Nude and Lust are going to be very popular shades, particularly for the toes.

There is only one product needed for Cheeks where Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess is concerned, and this is in the form of a Cheek Glow*. Providing a healthy, sunkissed touch of Coral colour to the cheeks, it's perfectly blendable for a more subtle colour and equally buildable for those who want something a little more dramatic. It's the perfect cream formula for an illuminating Summer product and even without the sun, has already become a go-to for me. 

For Skin, the Bronze Goddess Luminous Liquid Bronzer* will I'm sure, be an extremely popular summertime product. Providing the perfect luminous finish, it works as a natural-looking reflective base that will be dreamy in the sun. Very minimal amount of product is needed and I personally think I'll be using this in extremely small quantities to create a pearlized highlight to my cheekbones for the sunkissed look. 

For those of you that prefer a powder bronzer, the Bronze Goddess Powder Bronzer is here to stay. An all year product, this has been a go-to for me on many occasions since last summer and available in four shades, it has tones to suit all. Packaged in a huge compact and designed in the delightful Bronze Goddess Tortoise Shell design, you can read all about in my post from last year. 

For lips, Estée Lauder have created two new limited edition Pure Colour LipShines that follow the balm, crayon-like trend, that although they apply incredibly sheer at first, offer a buildable finish too, to create more of a bold look. Formulated with Mango and Shea Butter for soft and moisturising results, these are available in two shades, Mandarin and Luscious Plum* and look subtly glossy on the lips, perfect for the beach.

I'm sure you can imagine how much my eyes lit up at the sight of the new Nudes Eyeshadow Palette*, and something tells me I won't be the only one that will find themselves swooning over the 8 Eyeshadow beauty over and over again. Created with 5 matte finish Nudes to enhance the eyes and 3 high-intensity gelee metallics to dramatize, I'm all over this palette and personally find the shade range to be just perfect. I can imagine that some people won't be as impressed by the intensity or colour range of the mattes, but I think they're stunning and such easy to wear "second skin" shades, making them winners in my opinion. The three metallics are just as fabulous and highly pigmented with multidimensional colour, could create the most stunning of looks. 

The palettes double ended brush applicator doesn't wow me as much as other palettes have recently, but I've been told that the sponge tip used wet on the metallic eyeshadows creates an incredible finish. This is something I'll definitely have to put to the test, so watch this space. 

To finish the Bronze Goddess Colour collection and complete the look when it comes to eyes, Estée Lauder have launched their Sumptuous and Sumptuous Extreme Waterproof Mascaras into the collection in two shades and being waterproof, will work with the entire collection perfectly for big bold lashes on summer days out and holidays. 

As I'm sure you can tell, once again, I'm sold on the Estée Lauder Bronze Collection and if you're just as excited as me, you'll be able to get your hands on it at Estée Lauder counters in Debenhams, Selfridges and House of Fraser on May 1st.

Estée Lauder Companies & Elizabeth Hurley Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

Earlier on this week, I attended a very lovely and extremely touching event. Estée Lauder Companies and Elizabeth Hurley once again joined forces in their ever growing Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign and I was very touched to have been invited along to a talk given by the lovely Liz Hurley herself who is Estée Lauders Spokesmodel and Global Ambassador, the Estée Lauder team and leading Breast Cancer Research Professors. 

Turning more than 200 famous landmarks around the world, including the BT Tower Pink to raise awareness, on the 25th September, Estée Lauder launched their new campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness Month which holds the incredibly powerful slogan; "Let's defeat breast cancer. We're Stronger Together."

The A star charity works to raise awareness and money for ongoing research and inspire people to take action against the growing disease, whether it be via spreading the word, supporting those suffering with Breast Cancer, checking yourself regularly or even booking in a mammogram. 

Launched in 1992 by Evelyn Lauder, daughter in law of Estée Lauder and co-creator of the Pink Ribbon, the global movement that is Breast Cancer Awareness Month has helped to saved millions of lives and continuing this October, here is how you could do your bit with Estée Lauder BCA;

Using social media, the 2013 BCA Campaign invites people from all over the world to join together and create their own circles of strength. Friends, families, co-workers and loved ones are urged to create circles and agree to make healthy lifestyle changes, make regular doctors appoints, self check, organise a mammogram or join together to raise funds for BCRF and in turn, help to advance research and work towards eradicating breast cancer all together. With the hashtag #BCAStrength, content will be shared throughout social media and onto bcacampaign.com to enable people to feel stronger together. 

As well as working together to defeat breast cancer, fundraising products will also be available to buy and here some of my favourites;

Estée Lauder Evelyn Lauder Dream Pin / Estée Lauder Evelyn Lauder Dream and Elizabeth Hurley Dream Lip Collection / Estée Lauder Evelyn Lauder Dream Solid Perfume Compact / Bobbi Brown French Pink Set / Clinique Pink with a Purpose / Jo Malone Red Roses Cologne / Aveda Hand Relief / Créme de la Mer The Hand Treatment / Origins Drink Up Hydrating Lip Balm in Pink Guava / Darphin Silky Moisturing Lotion / Smashbox Photo Finish Primer / Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair with Pink Ribbon Bracelet 

Breast Cancer Awareness is no doubt an incredible charity to be apart of and if you want to create a circle to help defeat breast cancer, you can do so on bcacampaign.com and facebook.com/bcacampaign.

Let's work together and this October wear our Pink Ribbons to defeat breast cancer. We're stronger together.

Estée Lauder Modern Muse Launch at the Fashion Rules Exhibition, Kensington Palace

Over the past few days, I've been reading of the New York star studded Estée Lauder Modern Muse launch at the Guggenheim Museum all over the internet, but this evening, I attended the fabulous London launch, at a venue I thought I would only ever dream to visit- Kensington Palace.

As the sponsors of the Fashion Rules Exhibition at the Queens Entrance of Kensington Palace, Estée Lauder held the launch of their biggest fragrance concept, Modern Muse, within the exhibition and thinking back on it now, it was all a little dreamy.

Within the exhibition that was home to frocks of HM The Queen, Princess Margaret and Diana Princess of Wales, we were introduced to the fragrance which I have a huge feeling is going to be the beginning of something fabulous.

Inspired by todays woman, Modern Muse is a beautiful fragrance that carries a floral, woody scent. With something extremely luxurious and rich about it, it carries a delightful refreshing note that together, are surprisingly super complimentary. Unlike most fragrances, Estée Lauder Modern Muse has been created with two contrasting accords, rather than the typical three bases. Sparkling Jasmine Accord infused with Exotic Mandarin, Honeysuckle Nectar and Jasmine Sambac China Absolute make this fragrance incredibly feminine, floral and fresh but mixed alongside Sleek Woods Accord which carries a blend of two Patchouli scents with Madagascar Vanilla, Rich Amber Wood and Soft Musk, the fragrance is made a little richer, though perfect to suit so many different tastes in fragrance that todays women have.

Far from my typical sweet daily scent, I am completely sold on Modern Muse and particularly love the sparkling floral notes that it carries. The packaging and bottle is simply stunning and inspired by the iconic bow of Estée Lauders first fragrance Youth Dew, Modern Muse has been designed with Blush Pink and Navy Blue through both the outer packaging and the bottle, with a Navy patent bow, as a more modern and sophisticated twist, 61 years on.

Modern Muse is offically launched tomorrow and I personally feel really excited about it. Available to buy in an Eau de Parfum Spray in 30ml- £44.00, 50ml- £60.00 and 100ml- £86.00, Modern Muse can be purchased online and at Estée Lauder counters in Boots, Selfridges, Debenhams, House of Fraser and John Lewis.

Does Modern Muse sound like the ideal fragrance for you? Will you be purchasing Estée Lauders exciting new fragrance?
