These chubby pencils are a huge improvement on the original Just Bitten lip stains, which were in their own right a decently performing product. Gone are the rough felt point tip and drying liquid replaced by a smooth and moisturizing balm. The application is fast and easy and the results last for hours!

No 7 and Poppy King are calling their limited edition line of 7 lipsticks “The Magic of Lipstick.” Preaching to the choir! This lipstick addict needed little coaxing to try these especially once I saw the fantastically retro Marilyn-esque packaging. SOLD. Poppy has said the polka dots on her packaging for Boots were inspired by [...]
When it comes to drugstore beauty products, it is very hard to excite me about a product launch, but the Twitter buzz surrounding the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters had me lusting after a product I had never seen or touched.
