Information
One day, the Beauty VIP team were wandering through Covent Garden, tutting at the amount of men's trainer shops that now line the main street, when we stumbled upon a sparkling little black and gold den of iniquity (or so it seemed...) One peep inside revealed pots upon pots of amazingly vivid eye glitters encased in tiny hand carved pots, the juiciest lip stains in too-cute mini Moroccan pots, massage oils in delicate cut glass bottles with tiny gold butterflies entwined on the lids, lipcream topped with 24carat gold leaf... Now this is what we call a toy shop for grown up girls. This is what Covent Garden has been missing. Four stores later (Oxford St, Leeds and Dorset are sparkling towns these days) and the B Never too Busy to be Beautiful line is a make up force to be reckoned with. All handmade in England, B Never too Busy to be Beautiful is the only brand on the UK high street to carry an entire make-up line that is Vegan and certified by the Vegan Society. Plus, all of the jewelled packaging uses Fairly Traded in many cases refillable cases - all these great credentials resulting in winning the 2008 PETA Proggy Award for Best Cruelty-Free Cosmetics and winner of US Elle Magazine 2008 Green Stars for Best Lip Colour. Charlotte Matheson, head make up artist at B told the VIP team how excited she was about the recently launched 'B Bar' concept at Covent Garden & Oxford St stores,
"You can be preened and pimped to perfection by in store make up artists. Choose from a menu of six key looks ranging from the forties inspired 'Fifth Avenue' to the glitter laden Cosmopolitan' or you can create your own whilst sipping a bespoke vegan mocktail," she told us. That's next Saturday afternoon booked for us!
Charlotte Matheson's, B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful's head make-up artist gave us her must have products from the range...
Boudoir Lipstick (£9.80) is pillar-box red and one of our favourites. It is seriously attention grabbing and is guaranteed to make heads turn for all the right reasons. The blue hue makes your teeth look sparkling and white too.
Big Shot Loose Metallic Powder (£14.70) is the perfect party eye shadow for all skin tones. This gem sparkles all night long and makes your eyes look dazzling.
Double-Sized Eye False Lashes (£11.75) will have you looking like Audrey Hepburn in an instant! For serious glamour, you have to accessorise with a pair of these.
Baxter Cream Eye Shadow (£11.75) can also be used as an eyeliner and is a smouldering metallic midnight blue. Whenever I use this colour in a make-up, the eyes look smoking hot - It is better than black for sexy eyes!
Barrier (£7.85) is a make-up bag must-have. Any product that can multi-task like this one, should be in every girl's staple kit. Tame brows, stop lipstick bleeding and use as an eye shadow/glitter adhesive for the eyelids. I cannot be without this one backstage, it is a lifesaver.
