I think that its safe to say that I am a bit of a highlight addict! Long before it was on trend to highlight, I was doing it! My mother gave me a little pot of creamy gold highlight that was attached to a magazine she bought when I was in my late teens - she said she didn't know what to do with it so I applied a little (probably a lot!) along the tops of my cheekbones and it was instant love! I remember my brother asking me if I wanted my face to be so shiny & my answer was yes! Since then, there has only been the rare occasion (if ever!) when I haven't used highlighter. I love a glowy, dewy look and highlighter is the finishing touch, for me. Today I want to share my highlighter collection with you. I will tell you in advance that they are all easy to work with in terms of blendability and texture and they might all look very similar but they are different enough to warrant me having all of them (at least that's what I'm telling myself!). They are not in order of preference as I really love them all!

REVIEW: Korres Black Pine Firming, Lifting, Anti-Ageing Range
If you have read any of my favourites posts in the last few months, then you will know that Korres is one of the most featured brands - both in terms of bodycare and skincare, with their Wild Rose Advanced Brightening & Nourishing Face Oil firmly part of my daily skincare routine throughout Autumn and Winter. Therefore, you can imagine my delight when I received a parcel of products from their Black Pine range in December. This range is aimed those concerned with ageing skin. Let me tell you that I am in no way "anti-ageing" - I see ageing as a privilege, however I like to take care of my skin and if there are products that will help it to look more youthful and plump, then I'm all for trying them. I've been using these products pretty much exclusively since receiving them and today I want to share my thoughts and experience with you.

NEW Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk & Valentine lipsticks & my Charlotte Tilbury lipstick collection & swatches
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk is my favourite lip liner - it is very close to my natural lip colour so I wear it with a wide variety of lipsticks but I have always wished it came in lipstick form, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw that a Pillow Talk lipstick was being released! I ordered it as soon as it was released and whilst doing that, I added Valentine, which is another new & limited edition lipstick, to my basket. I am a sucker for a pinky nude lipstick and both of these are right up my street. Instead of just showing you swatches of the new lipsticks, I thought that I would show you the other Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks in my collection so that you can see the swatches and decide if you "need" any of them!
