Whistling Cow: A Whistles and Cowshed Collaboration

Essie nail varnish range at Cowshed

Last week I attended 'Whistling Cow' launch,

celebrating the collaboration between Whistles and Cowshed.

'Whistling Cow' is a combination of gorgeous beauty products from,

one of my favourite organic beauty brands Cowshed,

and Whistles' first ever swimwear range.

The brands are a great match, and I love the Whistles 'love' print

(which looks like a series of cow hooves, non?)

that is featured on the beauty range and swimsuit!

I can't believe it has taken Whistles this long to launch a swimwear range.

The collection is a fantastic array of print bikinis and a retro 'love' print swimsuit.

I've recently become a convert to Whistles and have been really impressed with their last few collections, so I'm sure this will be a big success.

Just make sure to get stocked up for the summer!

A/W Beauty Trends

Forget the pastel, neon and rainbow hues in homage to the 1970s discos from spring/summer 2010, we’ve moved on to a more sophisticated palette in beauty this autumn/winter. There are several looks which define this autumn/winter from the dark and sultry vamp to the fresh faced neutral look, and the screen siren red lipstick to the dazzling golden girl.

Vamp

The vamp look as seen on the catwalks at Maxmara and Blumarine is a great look for the party season. Keep things light and fresh by avoiding heavy mascara and eyeliner.

Last A/W saw the rise of purple when creating the smoky eye, this year it is all about different shades of grey blended together.

Get the vamp look: MAC smoky eye shadow in carbon, Rituals dark grey eye shadow in Onyx Eyes, Topshop kohl eyeliner in metallic grey, Maybelline Volume Express mascara.

Golden Girl

The golden girl look has been a catwalk favourite with heavyweights such as Chloë and Kenzo. With this look you need to channel the sun kissed 70s look, think Charlie’s Angels.

It is a glossy and light look where the aim is to exude health. Start with an illuminating primer and then use a light layer of bronzer, with a similar hue on the eyes and lip.

Get the golden girl look: Rituals cheek and eye glow, MAC eye shadow in Crest the Wave, Topshop skin glow, No7 brow pencil.

Screen Siren

The screen siren signature red lipstick is big this season. This look was showcased at many shows for A/W 11 including Moschino, Karl Lagerfeld, Dior and Roksanda Ilincic to name but a few.

All you need to create this look is a classic slick of red lipstick, top with lip gloss for intensity, and lashings of mascara. Keep eyes soft and skin radiant to maximise the effect.

Get the red lipstick look: MAC in Ruby Woo, Rituals in Attention!, CoverGirl in Hot, No7 Tangerine Touch.

Neutral

Spring’s pink cheeks have faded into A/W’s neutral tones this autumn/winter as seen at Alberta Ferretti, Victor & Rolf and Halston.

The key to this look is keeping everything looking effortless and radiant. Start with a light foundation or tinted moisturiser on prepped skin, bright eyes with softly blended hues and a glow in the cheeks. Define eyes and brows lightly.

Get the neutral look: Cowshed exfoliator, Rituals foundation, Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser, MAC brow set, Pixi eye palette.

A Look at Cowshed

Last week I attended a Cowshed blogger event at their beautiful store on Fouberts Place in the heart of Soho. The perfect location especially as it allowed me to do some shopping, well actually browsing, in Liberty afterwards.

I went along to the event with my friend, also a beauty addict, and we enjoyed a manicure by their fabulous manicurists. The Cowshed manicurists used the Essie products which are long-lasting and they offer a great range of colours. I went for a duck-shell green and my friend chose a beautiful slate grey.

I was already a Cowshed convert but this really confirmed the matter. The products are beautifully packaged, smell fantastic and I swear by the Lippy Cow lip balm which leaves your lips soft, plump and smelling delicious!
