Love Your Lips
I've been converted. I was never a lipstick fan but enjoyed, as a young girl, watching my Mum put her lippie on everytime she needed a spruce up. Now I see what the fuss is all about! Lipstick keeps your lips soft, coloured and oh-so kissable. I'm loving Estee Lauder's new limited-edition Love Your Lips collection. The 12 lip-loving Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick shades feature a special L♥VE logo on the lippie itself and the glosses are all packaged up in vials specially adorned with the logo. Estée Lauder Signature Lipstick’s lustrous, creamy, comfortable formula delivers hours of moisture and wear to lips with a glam high-shine finish. Available in 12 lip-loving shades including three new shades: Cherry Kiss, Pink Kiss, and Coral Kiss. The Kissable Lip Gloss is a non-tacky, cushioned formula that feels comfortable on the lips and adds tons of shine. Kissable Lip Gloss is available in four all new, voluptuous shades: Sweet Kiss, Cherry Kiss, Pink Kiss, and Coral Kiss. Available nationwide at Estée Lauder city stores only from April 18, 2010.

Estee Lauder LOVES Derek Lam
For the first time in the Estée Lauder brand's 64 year history, they embarked on New York Fashion Week, sponsoring the beauty look (makeup & nails) at the Derek Lam Autumn/Winter 2010 runway show. Bold blue eyes, copper lips, matte skin, bare cheeks and neutral nails ruled the catwalk at ‘Capitale’, with Estée Lauder’s new Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux testing some new Estee Lauder Pure Color Fall 2010 products backstage to rave reviews. With a vision to compliment Derek Lam’s fashion theme: “The Myth of the West”, Tom Pecheux led a team of 15 makeup artists to create the stunning look on 22 models, while famed manicurist Jin Soon Choi and her team polished their nails with a new Estée Lauder color tested at the show. Although extreme for a wedding day look you can recreate bits of this look such as copper lips or hints of blue on the eyes. Products from this look will be launched in the Estee Lauder Fall collection so keep posted on www.esteelauder.com.au for all the details.

Nail It!
When summer rolls around it's time to get out the toes from underneath those big wooly socks and spruce them up a little. May I suggest a super bright, fun nail colour from Zoya? The colours are simply delicious and I'm loving the neon yellow (Pippa) and neon pink (Ali). With a LBD (little black dress) or mix and matched with colours galore your all important tootsies and fingers will be happy chappies! Visit www.zoya.com.au to view all the colours and to find a stockist. RRP $17AUD each or $90AUD for all 6!

Galaxy Gloss
I am a beauty product fanatic. I am the ultimate guinea pig when it comes to anything new and even remotely exciting. I also have four sisters so between us we make up quite the team! I am loving Chanel's new lip glosses, Levres Scintillantes. I'm always excited when Chanel parcels arrive on my desk! It's the 10th Anniversary for these gorgeous glosses and to celebrate they've launched eight new shades inspired by the stars. The glosses contain pearly pink micro-pearlizers, silver reflectors, golden particles and rainbow mica. I am currently sporting both the Venus & Mica colours, depending on my mood of course! Visit www.chanel.com to view all the out of this world colours.

Make Me Up
Q&A with Makeup Artist Jay Jay Rauwenhoff
With over 20 years experience in the beauty industry Jay Jay has worked with a huge list of celebrities such as Sophie Monk, Lara Bingle and Olivia Newton-John. She has also worked with magazines as well as on tv commercials, films and Australian Fashion Week. Celebrating the launch of her first boutique hair and makeup school, Jay Jay Makeup School Sydney, I sat down with Jay Jay to pick her brains about wedding makeup. In the last 10 years Jay Jay has also worked on over 400 weddings, making her a wedding day makeup queen.
Business - Jay Jay Makeup School, Sydney, Australia
Best tips - When applying makeup it is essential that you blend, blend, blend. Less is always more.
Insists upon - Using the right brushes. It makes applying makeup much more simple.
Colour forecast for spring/summer 09/10 - Fresh colours such as gold, warm bronze, amber shimmers, browns and fresh glowy looks as well as vibrant 80’s colours - fuchsia, lilac, vermilion and blue share space on the eyes with amber shimmers as nude and cream tones.
Favourite makeup product - I really love Guerlain Bronzing Powder NR 2 but have many different favorites like Stila Cream Blusher. MAC Hush Cream Eye Shadow is a great highlighter for the nose and cheek bones.
Favourite celebrity you've worked with - Catriona Rowntree was a delight to work with! She is a naturally beautiful person who has the perfect beauty features to make any look possible. In addition, she is the most down to earth Australian celebrity I have ever worked with making my experience memorable and a delight.
Must haves for a wedding day clutch - Blot powder by MAC and Nars lip gloss in Turkish delight.
Most common makeup mistake made by brides - The most common error brides tend to make is applying excessive amounts of foundation, which makes their appearance look cakey. Another regular beauty mistake made is by brides who are drawn to applying the smokey grey tones on their eyes and often don’t blend enough.
Most memorable job experience - Was when I arrived at the house of Lady McMahon for a job and there was torrential rain. A butler greeted me with a fabulous umbrella and as you can imagine, the whole day was an incredible experience – very opulent and rich.
Jay Jay did the hair and makeup of the gorgeous Haruka Takeuni when she was married earlier this year

Lippie Good
The perfect lippie can be hard to find but I'll give you the heads up, head to Estee Lauder counter from April 12 and pick yourself up the latest in lipstick heaven - the Pure Colour Gloss Stick. I was sent a couple of these super duper lippies and love the pinks... they're so pretty! Pure Color Gloss Stick’s unique 3D Optic Pearl Technology and microfine reflective pearl cocktail delivers full volume appearance to lips so lips appear fuller and sexier. Adding to the lip enhancing benefit of the creamy base is a comfortable signature plumping ingredient, Maxi-Lip, that with continued use, prolongs the appearance of fullness and delivers added moisture to lips. With a rich formula that melts onto lips, Pure Color Gloss Stick comes in a variety of divine shades that deliver softly sheer pearlescent coverage and a wet, glossy shine to lips. Visit www.esteelauder.com.au for more info.
