Bafta Beauty

Which Bafta Beauty is your favourite? We picked three winning looks this morning as pure glamour made a big impression on the red carpet again.

Emma Watson, who plays Hermione in the Harry Potter movies, reportedly took 3 hours to get ready for the big event last night... Wearing a more neutral palette of colours, we think she could have cut her getting ready time down considerably if she'd have tried our new Beauty Secrets make up Collection, which is perfect for creating smoky eyes. For toned down simple lip colour like Emma's try our Satin Shine Lip Gloss in Natural Beauty - simple, glossy and gorgeous!

The very beautiful Gemma Artherton stole the limelight with sulty eyes and bright red lips. Perfect for eminaniting a little hollywood glamour, steal her style and try our Signature Colour Lipstick in Cranberry Cream or Sheer Rouge for a similar lip look. Finish eyes with lashings of our Dream Lashes Mascara . Alternatively for lashes that really shout the wow factor, you could try our False Eyelash Kit.

And finally we loved Jessica Alba's style, particularly her orange lipstick which is going to be huge for Spring/Summer 2011. Personally, we don't feel this is going to be a look everyone can wear, so we'd prefer to err on the side of caution and go for a shade like our Signature Colour Lipstick in Nude Shimmy. For a warm blush like Jessica's try our Bronzed Beauty Blush, perfect for a hint at the summer sunshine which is (fingers crossed) just around the corner.

Calling all Pink Ladies

As Beyonce shows, hot pink lips are back with a bang this Spring. Also known as 'power pink', fuschia was big on the catwalks for Spring 2011, ruling the runways of Marc Jacobs, Diane Von Furstenburg and Jil Sander to name just a few.

And we've got a fact to go hand in hand with this new fashion direction that's just in time for Valentine's Day. Apparantly ...

7.3 = the number of seconds a man will spend looking at woman's mouth if she is wearing pink lipstick.

Compared to 2.2 seconds if she is has no lip colour.

SO, if you're trying to secure a date, or want to get his attention, you might just want to try our Signature Colour Lipstick in Peony Cream, which is the perfect wearable shade of pink or if you want something a little bit more glossy (just like Beyonce's) try our Satin Shine Lip Gloss in Tutti Frutti and pack a power pink punch!

How much is in your handbag?

Who would have thought it? According to a recent report, the most expensive thing in a woman's handbag is probably her Make Up, with the average British female carrying an incredible £256 worth of Make Up around with her everywhere she goes.

Why so high? Well according to research conducted by Debenhams, the average British Woman squeezes 13 make up items she just can't leave home without, into her handbag. Staples include foundations, lipsticks, lip glosses and perfumes.

And what day are they fullest? Handbags are fit to bursting on Friday's when many of us make the office to pub transition and turn our day time make up look into night time make up.

So happy Friday ladies, don't let that bag drag your shoulders down - instead opt for a few lighter items like our One Step Face Base (flawless foundation in seconds) and brand new Beauty Secrets Eye & Cheek Palette - everything you need to get the party started!
