Jouer Ready To Wear Palette - Warm

I picked this up in January in LA, took these pictures for the blog, then promptly filed them in the wrong folder, as you do. It was only when I was using it this morning that I remembered I had photographed it. Sigh. ANYWAY:

The Jouer range to me, is like a cousin to Hourglass. They're not actually related, but they always remind me of them. This palette is among the many available on the market that can feasibly do an entire face, except the colours are, in my opinion, much nicer than most. It's much more a day to night, rather than one or the other.

I went for warm, primarily for the cognac and peach glow, but it is also available in a cool palette, and there are some good visuals and further info on that one on Jouer's website here.

Jouer Ready to Wear Palette is £35.00 and available from CultBeauty.co.uk/Jouer in the UK

and $48.00 in Nordstrom stores and online here.

It's also available directly from Jouer here.

12 Days of Giveaways. Day Nine. Cult Beauty Top 5 of 2013

Cult Beauty are one of my favourite e-tailers and continue to bring it with brilliant products sourced from all over the world - it's easy to get lost in their site - and hard not to spend your cash.

I asked Alexia Inge, the co-founder of Cult Beauty, for her Top 5 picks of 2013 - and she didn't disappoint.

Cult Beauty's Giveaway includes....

MV Organic Skincare, Rose Plus Booster – The best rose oil in the business. It smells intoxicatingly good, not the cloyingly sweet rose you find with cheaper sources, and has the sort of compatibility with skin that founds a lifetime partnership. If I ever have ‘issues' with my skin from testing too many products MV is the range I reach for. (one of my products of the year - CH) 

Ying Yu, Double Jade Face Roller –  Hand carved from Jade, the stone used in Chinese medicine to dispel toxins, this both exercises your facial muscles and helps drain your facial lymph system. Also when one has over indulged, rolling a fridge-fresh one of these on your temples is one down from dialysis for soothing a hangover.

Therapie, Himalayan Detox Salts – Therapie founder, Michelle Roques O’Neil, used the old tactic of giving me my first pot free, now I’m hooked! I’ll probably have to start a life of crime to fund this growing habit (she’s just released a new one), but at least I’ll come at it with an amazing night’s sleep, a toxin-free body and clear head.

DJV Beautenizer, Fiberwig – My daily mascara, it’s a lovely glossy black formula with nylon fibres that add incredible length. It doesn’t flake or budge because it is a co-polymer (liquid plastic rather than a paint like more mascaras) and to remove you soak your lashes in warm water and it slides off in tubes so there's less lash damage too.

Jouer Cosmetics - In The Red Kit - A true marriage of convenience, Jouer unite make up and skin care in a house built of super-slick, ingenious packaging. I'm addicted to the velvety textures and easy-to-blend formulations and this carefully curated palette is the perfect way to discover the joy of Jouer.

Wowzers. HUGE thank you to Cult Beauty for offering this giveaway.
