Growing up in the 90s, it will come as no surprise to you that I was (and am still) a huge Spice Girls fan. Who was my favourite Spice? Posh of course. It's been amazing to watch Victoria Beckham go from plastic WAG fantastic to eternally-chic fashion designer and general style inspiration (via that song that she did with Dane Bowers - what a gem) And..... although I'm a lot older now, I'm still partial to a bit of merchandise.

Victoria Beckham x Estee Lauder : What To (Calmly) Buy
Super excited to tell you guys about this one! On Thursday I was lucky enough to score an invite to the launch of the new Estee Lauder diffusion line - The Estee Edit. The official face for this new makeup and skincare range is none other than Kendall Jenner and she WAS THERE at the event.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge K-dash fangirl but I was reduced to an excited, quivering WRECK. I don't know what it is about megastars and celebrities but its like I lose all control of basic social functions and try and document EVERYTHING both mentally and on my phone.
No idea what is is. Maybe I AM just a big fangirl.
So it was an absolute CIRCUS inside, but I was stood in the best spot (completely accidentally) and Kendall came right up by me for the photo call! So obviously I got lots of photos, which I then splashed all over my Instagram!
I honestly don't know how she handles all the attention, there were flashes going off, people screaming - it's a lot to take in for someone her age, I have no idea how anyone copes with that!
Anyway - more about the makeup.
Like I said, the Estee Edit is a new line, aimed at a younger market than the traditional Estee Lauder customer. It was launched a while ago in the US, with the concept being all about simple, on-the-go makeup for the younger generation. Think lots of 2in1's, easy to use enhancers and portable products.
FINALLY, the line has dropped here in the UK and I was so excited to get my hands on it. NEW MAKEUP!!
My top picks?
First up, I really want to get this Beam Team Hydrate & Glow cream. It's a hydrating, tinted cream full of pearlescent glow and Hyaluronic Acid, for a plumped up complexion. I have a few of these sorts of creams but they're all cool-toned and this is a warmer golden tone.
Flip open the lid and you've got a mini cream highlighter, a love golden-beige to pat on for extra glow and transparent shine. Love a multi-tasker!
I'm a big fan of the Barest Lip Colour range! If you like your nudes and Kylie Jenner type beiges, then this is YOUR ONE. They are the perfect colours for everyday big lips. (see my Youtube tutorial for how to get huge looking lips and blog post tips here)

The Barest Lip Colour formula contains Muru Muru butter to hydrate and is super creamy and lightweight. The finish is soft, with a delicate sheen for bigger looking lips. You can wear one coat for a sheer wash of colour, or layer it on for full supermodel coverage. LOVE them. I want to get at least three of them. Maybe more? (BIG OBVIOUS HINT FOR ANY OF MY FRIENDS READING THIS)
Check out the swatches of ALL 6 colours! The lipsticks have names but they're also numbered 1-6, so number 1 starts from the left.
Those are my personal picks but big in the beauty game also are these Barest Blush compacts and the Hi Lo Stylo - a double ended highlighting/contouring pencil (suuuuuper blendable).

Au Naturel, In The Flesh, Exposed, So Bare, In The Buff, Nude Scene

The Edit Eyeshadow Palette is super portable little compact with a range of dark and day duos. The duos are designed to be use alone or swirled together.
The special part are the two transformer eyeshadows on the left. These shadows are black light shades which mean that they are sheer and shimmery in daylight but reflect light in black light, like a super 3D glowing effect.
This Flash Photo Gloss is meant to be one of the most-hyped products. It's a blue toned gloss (which makes your teeth look white). It also has a similar blue-toned face powder to brighten your face.
I got given one of these at the event which I'm planning to give away on my Twitter and Facebook page over the weekend!
Final Thoughts
What do YOU think of the new line? Are you a secret or not-so-secret Kendall Jenner fan too?

The Estee Edit Makeup Launch With KENDALL JENNER!
HAPPY WEEKEND! Today's post is all thanks to online shopping and my new app obsessssssion, Depop. Like a shoppable Instagram, and full of super cool things that I didn't know I needed. Seriously, I bought a load of crystals to up my interior design game - essentially I've been persuaded into buying a pile of rocks. (Beautiful, beautiful rocks.)

My Best Lip Products For Dry Lips!
Has anyone started watching that Netflix series Orange Is The New Black yet? It sounds like Mean Girls in prison, I can't wait to get cracking on that one! Or should I read the books first? I actually really like knowing what's going to happen, is that weird?
Tedious link coming up, but from a makeup perspective, orange is actually the new pillarbox red! I showed you one of my favourite Orange toned lipsticks in my No7 Gay Geranium review which is a warm toned blood orange but, when it comes to Orange-Orange, a lot of you have said that it's too hard to wear!
I kind of agree, I feel like you have to have an occasion for orange-orange (ideally an east London house party one) - I only bust out a full orange lip when I want to look less girly and a bit more modern.
But that's not to say that orange can't be h-awesome. If you're looking for a more wearable shade then coral lipstick is your one and this Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy lipstick is officially my first buy for summer makeup!

I never normally like to spend more than a tenner on lipsticks but I have to say, I am HOOKED. Read on, for the reasons why.
