Lipcotes’s Top Tips for Lips - Getting Ready for Valentine’s Day

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 21:01:12 +0000

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner but February’s cold weather can play havoc with your lips. Luckily, Lipcote, the original lipstick sealer, has over 50 years experience of creating perfect pouts that look sensational all day and into the evening. So if you fancy puckering up into the wee hours of the night, follow these simple tips to get lips he won’t be able to stop kissing.

? Step 1 Preparation is key. Lips have no natural lubricant so need protecting when it’s cold outside. Apply a nourishing lip balm throughout the day and whatever you do, don’t lick chapped lips – it will only make them worse.

? Step 2 Gently exfoliate your lips every evening using a soft toothbrush. This will get rid of any dead skin, creating a smooth base – totally essential for any shade of lipstick.

? Step 3 Always apply your lipstick using a brush rather than straight from the tube. Not only will this allow you to build up the colour gradually, but you’ll get a much more precise finish and therefore better defined lips.

? Step 4 Remember the classic techniques as they really work. Apply your lipstick, blot with a tissue, then apply again. Then put your finger in your mouth, as this will remove lipstick that would otherwise end up on your teeth.

? Step 5 Don’t forget a finishing sweep of Lipcote. It’s completely transparent so won’t affect the colour of your favourite lipstick at all, but will stop it smudging or transferring onto your glass, your man’s collar………in fact, it will keep your lipstick locked on your lips throughout the evening no matter what you get up to!

Lipcote is kind to the environment as well as your lips. It comes in fully recyclable packaging, has not been tested on animals and contains natural, vegetarian ingredients.

Available at RRP of £3.49 from many stores including Boots (currently £3.18 online). Click here to purchase.

La Senza Launch Mens’ Guide to Buying Lingerie

admin — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 12:19:12 +0000

La Senza have just launched their Men’s Guide which includes an interactive lingerie selector and buying tips to help men buy lingerie for their partners over the Christmas period. The guide features four different models each with their own different personalities: girly, glamorous, stylish and elegant.

The idea is men choose the model that is most similar (in both looks and personality) to their partner and then they can choose from a range of lingerie and nightwear that go with that personality. The chosen girl will then model the product so the viewer can see how the garment looks on person and then click through direct to purchase. There are also buying tips in the section to help men find out the bra size of their partner plus suggestions for stocking fillers. You can see the guide here.

La Senza have some lovely gift available for the festive period! At the time of writing, there is a fabulous 40% off Glamour promotion which includes both lingerie and nightwear. Click here to see the offers and click below to see the Autumn / Winter Collections.
