Your West Midlands Wedding- June/July 2020 (Issue 68)

LOVE LASHES In a Strip lashes have introduced two new light and fluffy styles, taking inspiration from Lash Perfect British, the new natural eyelash extension trend. This collection of 10, super-soft, luxury strip lashes can be moulded to the shape of the eye thanks to the flexible band, and are easily applied with lash glue. We’re excited about the fact that they’re available in brown as well as black, making them absolutely ideal if you’re a fairer bride or prefer a more subtle big-day look. Check out www.yourbeautyhive.co.uk where the lashes are available priced at £12.95. Luscious locks When it omes to big-day hair, extensions are a must in order to achieve many of the trending looks.

From a full head of bonds adding length and texture, to a few Great Lengths tapes at the side for volume and lift, your wedding day is the time to go big, own it, and leave your guests in awe.

Billion Dollar Smile’s Purple Tooth Polish (£10.99) brings colour spectrum technology, with a blend of purple pigments and whitening ingredients, to reflect a brighter and whiter smile. It also contains added vitamin E and natural papaya enzyme, which work together to break down stains. There’s something fun about putting this purple paste on your toothbrush, and its unusual yet pleasant taste left my mouth feeling fresh and ready for the day. I was impressed at how, after just one use my teeth already seemed brighter. Check out the website wwwbilliondollarsmilecosmetics.co.uk BLOSSOMING ROMANCE I was over the moon to hear that my beloved Jo Malone London has introduced a new limited edition Blossoms Collection. The cologne range features two news scents of yuja and waterlily, accompanied by the ever- popular osmanthus blossom, returning for a limited time (£52 for 30ml). The playful scent of nectarine blossom and honey has been reimagined in a limited-edition cologne pen (£26). A great addition to your big-day supplies, it boasts a cooling ceramic tip allowing you to roll the fragrant gel onto the skin whenever you’re ready for a freshen up. Available at www.jomalone.co.uk an d boutiques nationwide from May 2020. Lip service Burt’s Bees latest range sees the brand utilise the deeply hydrating benefits of hemp seed oil. We love the 100 per cent natural origin lip balm (£3.99), which hydrates and conditions dry lips. Formulated with hemp seed oil and infused with beeswax plus other naturally nourishing ingredients, its luxurious texture offers smooth application in one easy swipe, ensuring a big-day ready pout.
