Balmy army


Poppy loves lipbalm today, as the most gorgeous new balm has just arrived through our letterbox and is begging to be written about. It's called Bach Rescue Balm and is produced by the makers of Bach Rescue Remedy (remember glugging droplets of the stuff outside exam rooms in a bid to calm nerves?) Well here at Poppy Loves Lipgloss we simply lurve a product that gives us more for our money, and because the new balm contains many of Bach's famous 38 flower remedies (including cherry plum to help ease anger, rock rose to combat feelings of panic, and crab apple to boost confidence), not only do our lips feel soothed and softened, but our mood does too.
Available from September at Boots and Holland & Barrett, £5.75.

  1. Cool. A lip balm that makes lips softer and helps in making our mood better. This is almost the perfect product for women... almost. :)

  2. What's your take on the new "mineral" make-up craze? Is it really as good for your skin as they claim? I'm seriously considering purchasing a whole Bare Escentuals set, curious as to your take on it all.

  3. I love minerals - they're not just a fad, they really can revolutionise the look of your makeup. The trick is all in the application - it takes a while to get used to the powders, especially if you're used to cream foundations, blushers etc - the best technique is to 'buff' them into your skin using small circular motions. The shades can also be highly pigmented so you need to have a light hand and gradually build up the coverage. Bare Escentuals are a great choice, I can also highly recommend MAC, Lily Lolo (available online), and Laura Mercier.
