Karen Murrell Lipstick

Which one looks like it a bit of you??  These delicious looking lipsticks are by New Zealand's natural lipstick queen;

Karen Murrell.

For those who haven’t met Karen Murrell, there are two things you need to know about this Takapuna beauty:

She is passionate about natural products, the protection of the environment, and she is a huge lipstick fan!

Combining these two passions, Karen Murrell proudly introduces her new and all-natural trend-setting lipstick colours.

06 CARNATION MIST- A rose petal pink which would attract Hummingbirds to nectar and touches your lips

with a healthy pink natural glow.

07 FUCHSIA SHOCK- A delicious, flamboyant fuchsia pink which will brighten any gloomy day

with an injection of head-turning colour.

08 CORAL DAWN-This tangerine orange shade projects onto your lips a richly exotic reddish orange,

backed with lemon notes. This colour has been dubbed as the ‘new red!

09 SAND STORM- Inspired by the rugged natural beauty of Highway 1 USA. Sand Storm is nature

at its finest which envelopes the lips in a subtly sandy brown shade.

Did you know that a woman consumes an average of nearly two kilograms of lipstick during her lifetime through drinking,

eating and kissing - so keep lipstick natural we say! Karen Murrell Lipsticks carries the Ecocert organic certification and

are made totally of natural ingredients. They do not contain any mineral oils, animal-based material, parabens or preservatives.

Not only are they free of cemicals but they condition your lips, the colour lasts long and it smells and tastes great.

(just incase you are hungry in the middle of the day!)  Oh! and heres a tip...“To apply brighter shades to your lips,
use your fingers to press in the colour. The heat of your fingers fixes the pigment onto your lips and creates a more natural finish”.

We tried CARNATION MIST and CORAL DAWN; and never have we come across a beauty product so amazing!
It slides on like a lip balm, but has great colour pop-and it actually lasts! (we realize we sound like a Maybelline girl on a commercial,
but we are just so excited!) Gosh New Zealanders are exceptional entrepreneurs, we are officially converted!

Night-time Window Shopping

I went and had a look at the Whitecliife College of Arts & Deisgn-Year 4 Fashion Student's Window displays in Newmarket on tuesday night.  Some of them had no lights or gates over them so was difficult to photograph, but I did my best! I went back during the day and took some shots for my work- Hawes & Freer, click here to see more.

Erica Bryers display (the white roses) was defiantly my favourite! Very creative and feminine-just stunning.

Also featured are; Erin Balle, Trish Peng, Sean Cai, Samantha Wainstein and Amy Cossan.  As always there was a great variety of creativity from the fashion students.  Well done guys, I am so excited for the end of year show-keep up the hard work!
