Poppy King No. 7 lipstick and lipgloss

No7 has collaborated with lipstick legend Poppy King to create an exclusive range of lipstiks and lipglosses to change womens’ views of lip colour forever. The collection encompasses seven colours - ranging from the deep wine of 'Seduction' to the barely there nude warm glow of 'Confidence'. The colours are inspired by eras throughout history re-interpreted to be extremely wearable.

I was lucky enough to be sent two products to try out. The first is 'Glamour' - inspired by the 1950s this is a fun, flirty and feminine pink lipstick. 

 Power on the left, Glamour on the right.

Glamour is quite sheer on the lips, giving a lovely glossy, natural finish which is wearable enough for the day.

 Power is inspired by the 1930s - a deeper berry shade that works great as a more subtle alternative to a traditional red. The gloss is smooth and not at all sticky. It can be applied softly for a sheer wash of colour, or built up (as below) for more impact.

This collection can be found on the Boots website retailing at £12 for the lipsticks and £11 for the glosses. Check out the video below for more information on the different colours in the range!

Day 3 at Kauai, Classic and Vintage!

I am still in PST zone until this morning as I woke up at 6 AM local time 3 days in a row.  But today I am totally exhausted after we got back to hotel after a whole day's expedition. We didn't plan much until tomorrow when the weather gets very sunny. The weather here in Kauai is normally overcast in the morning, but very sunny and humid during noon and then it rains a while in the afternoon. Quite interesting, I must say! 


Kids love the pools in the hotel and I did my ritual Yoga exercise in the gym while overlooking the ocean. Love the calm!!

I love this white bathing suit very much, for its elegant and classic look!

Waiting for Sunset outside THE BEACH HOUSE RESTAURANT! 






If you ask me:  "Is it worth the price to dine at that restaurant?" I'd say, it is worthwhile with the whole package...meaning, the food, the view, the sunset, and the people!! 


Have fun with me in Kauai as we travel.
