A LIPSTICK A DAY

My April look has mostly been a matchy matchy combination of bright lips and nails.

Last weekend was spent in Paris to celebrate our birthdays - here's a photo post to make up for the lack of review posts in April.

Out of the new line of Dior Addict Extreme lipsticks, I bought Lucky and Riviera #639, as they were the most "me". 

Just as I needed to buy a new face sunscreen*, I received a lovely surprise from REN at one of their launch days - the new Photoactive Sun Veil with SPF 15.

REN's Photoactive Sun Veil is a physical sunscreen that claims to protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays, and to increase the elastin levels in your skin (ie firm & plump).

Lucky Vernis #659 is the same colour as Addict Extreme Lipstick in Lucky - an opaque vibrant blue based pink, with no shimmer.  I have worn this matchy matchy combination (lipstick & nail polish) and I like it - it is a very fresh and simple look if you keep other areas (cheeks & eyes) toned down and neutral.
