If you want any further information on the various trends or Give it a Go Friday Events, you can visit http://www.springsummertrends.com/. We have pulled together a Storify of the Tweets from the party so thought I would share:

Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick

I am a huge fan of the lip crayons they are so easy and quick to use however it can be tricky to achieve a neat edge if you’re in a rush using the chunkier sticks. 

Let me introduce the new Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Sticks. I’m not sure why they are named ‘Giant’ as they are much slimmer than other chunky lip crayons on the market, but far easier to line the lips with. There are currently 6 shades all selected by makeup artist Mel Arter: ‘Hot Chocolate’; ‘Passionate Red’; ‘Designer Blossom’, ‘Vibrant Pink’, ‘Subtle Coral’, ‘Princess Pink’. 

(Top to bottom: Passionate Red, Hot Chocolate, Designer Blossom, Subtle Coral, Princess Pink, Vibrant Pink)

“Right now we’re seeing the biggest colour comeback in cosmetics since the 80s – it’s a backlash against the recession as people ditch the minimal trend by adding a cheerful splash of colour. There was a real sporty element to the collections for SS/13. Brights on the lips are a huge nod to that. Specifically pink as it is such an informal and fun colour. My favourite is Vibrant Pink 15 - a sophisticated fluro-pink which is the perfect expression of that trend. Teamed with your favourite eyeliner inside the eye gives the statement lip more attitude. Minimal and cool.” Mel Arter

I’m really into bright glossy lips at the moment so these are right up my street! The texture of the pens are similar to a  lipstick yet they all have a glossy finish and feel moisturising on the lips - my favourite shade from the selection is ‘Vibrant Pink’ which is perfect for a night out.

Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Sticks will be launching into Boots on April 1st 2013.

Bioderma arrives to the UK!

The French pharmacy skincare must-have Bioderma Crealine H20 Micellar Water has finally arrived to the UK! This cult French skincare product is loved by make-up artists, models and beauty editors who can't be without a bottle in their kit.

This is one of few hyped-up products that is worth the hype - It is without doubt the best cleansing water I've tried - one sweep removes all traces of makeup even water-proof mascara. It is not only gentle on the skin and suitable for sensitive skin, but it is purse-friendly and leaves skin refreshed and clean.

Until now Bioderma products have only been available to buy in France or online from French Pharmacies and pay a hefty £20 postage charge! John Bell & Croyden (Pharmacists to the Queen) are the first pharmacy in the UK to stock Bioderma on shelves today!

Bioderma Sensibio H20 Cleansing Water is priced at £9.99 for 250ml and available in store and online at John Bell & Croyden. Have you tried Bioderma yet?
