Erborian Colour Pen

With Valentines and Galentines Day just around the corner, there is no end of gifts you can buy for those loved ones in your life.  Whether it is chocolate, perfume, lingerie or makeup, there is something for everyone.  From Erborian we have the Colour Pen.

I am a huge fan of Erborian and have featured many of their products here on my blog, including one of the latest launches CC Red Correct - here.

The Erborian Lip Colour Pen's are available in two shades - Hot Cherry and Sweet Poppy and they are said to have been inspired by the latest in Korean technology and are designed to sculpt your lips because of their high-precision tip and they give an amazing pop of colour depending on your preference.  I really like the precision tip, it is so easy to work with and it needs just one swipe across my lips to leave behind the most amazing finish, which surprisingly is matte, but a very comfortable matte.

If you like your red shades, then Hot Cherry is the perfect shade for days when you're feeling bold and daring. What I love about this shade is just how bold it is and I am not someone who ever feels comfortable wearing red.

The second shade is a little more subtle.  Sweet Poppy is said to offer a gorgeous, soft poppy red, although on the swatch you can see below, the light has caught the shot and it looks slightly orange in comparison, but it is a subtle red.

 Both of these Colour Pens are enriched with some amazing ingredients, including

• Japanese Camellia leaf extract (Camellia japonica) Antioxidant, prevents signs of ageing, preserves skin elasticity and firmness 
• Sodium hyaluronate Moisturises and prevents skin dehydration, helps to maintain natural hydration
• Trehalose Prevents skin dehydration, helps to maintain skin water, moisturises.

Both pens are priced at £18 from Erborian and for me, the huge selling point is just how amazing the tips are, so easy to use to both line your lips and then fill in with colour and they last all day!  If you are still not sold on the matte finish, you could add a gloss or balm over the top to give that shine.

Valentines Gifting for him with V by Very Campaign

When it comes to Valentines Day gifts for him and deciding what to do to celebrate, we tend to opt for a night in, usually with a takeaway from our favourite places and have a night in front of the television all snug and warm.

As soon as I get home from work, the first thing I do is put my PJ's on, grab my dressing jacket and put on my slippers, for me, this signifies an end to the working day and any stresses or troubles are left at the front door allowing me to switch off entirely.  It has taken some persuading, but now the mister does exactly the same and this coming Valentines Day, he will have these men's pyjamas from Very to wear.  

The V by Very Blue Long Sleeved Jersey Top and Woven Check Bottoms are the perfect fit for him indoors, standing at just over 6ft tall, he has a long body and long arms, so finding something that sits past the wrists and ankles is sometimes a nightmare because you can never just order clothes online.  With these Pyjamas, I opted for the large based solely on the size guide and they are true to size.  The bottoms have an elasticated waist with drawstring ties so you can tighten them up and thankfully they also have pockets, an absolute must-have for Beautykinguk (or so he says).  The top, which is super soft to the touch is long sleeved and not too tight a fit.  

For me, part of a cosy night in means wearing something snug and warm but that also means being comfortable to wear. Made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, a detail I was not expecting to find and was surprised by, these pyjamas are priced at £25 and are worth every single penny. Very.co.uk helps customers get more out of every day. It’s famous for its combination of big name brands and on-trend fashion.  V by Very, is known for its quality and style – taking the latest trends and making them high street ready.

So this Valentines Day, we will both be settling down to watch a new series on Netflix, currently a choice between the Ted Bundy Tapes or Abducted in Plain Sight with a Chinese or Indian takeaway, some candles alight to help create that cosy atmosphere and new comfy PJs!
