Rockalily in Rockette Red has been featured in Hello Magazine for the Perfect Match this Valentine's Day. 

''Rockalily Lipstick in Rockette Red will last through drinks, dinner and a goodnight kiss.''

I have dinner and drinks arranged, wonder if I will get a goodnight kiss ;-)

What story does your lipstick tell?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wear different shades of lipstick, usually depending on my mood!

My daily slick of confidence comes from Rockalily Rockette Red, as it just does what I want it to. It is a classic red, suits my skin and teeth, and is reliable.

However, if I'm going somewhere that I feel I need to be a little more 'respectable' or 'grown up' I tend to revert to Rockalily Roulette Red. It is a subtle difference, but sometimes its all in the mindset. Perhaps it is also linked to the fact that Mother Rockette wears Roulette!

Pompadour Pink usually gets worn when I'm feeling a little more punky, and its a nice change from my every day red. 

I may embrace my darker side once in a while with Man's Ruin, and my party lipstick is often Sailors Beware. My first date lipstick is Vintage Vixen.

I love that lipstick gives me a chance to play with my make-up, as I rarely change the other elements of it.

Please don't say I'm the only person who ascribes events/moods/setting to their lipstick choices?!

Rockalily Limited Edition Shades - Preorder List for Feb

This morning the Rockalily Mailing List got told about the new delivery of Limited Edition Shades. Sadly they have already all sold out! 

I had a preorder list open in Jan, which has now closed. If you are wanting a limited edition shade, you will have to be patient! I find being on the mailing list means you have more luck securing one!

I am not completely happy with the swatch quality here, Mermaid for example, is much more coral (with a hint of neon) which doesn't show here. So do feel free to nose around the Rockalily review section

Mae Hem, which hasn't officially been launched yet, can be purchased secretly here.

Rockalily Lipstick: The Limited Edition Shades

I am always experimenting with swatch shots, and while filming a Rockalily video I thought I would give it a go under the lighting. 

These are the six Limited Edition Rockalily Lipstick shades that have been released, but actually some of them haven't shown as true here. But I think all comparisons can prove useful, so here it is anyhow!

Behind the Scenes: Filming a Rockalily Lipstick video

Today I filmed a new video for Rockalily Lipstick. It is to replace the video I currently have which demonstrates all of the Rockalily Lipstick shades, which I filmed at home, in my bedroom. I wanted a much better quality so that you are much more able to see the shades, and select which colour you'd like to own yourself!

Genna McWhinnie specialises in helping women feel confident enough to let their awesomeness shine through on video. If you need that extra helping hand getting your brand or business onto youtube, you may want to check her out! You can hire her to actually help you film, or you can watch her videos and learn to express yourself more clearly and confidently.

Here Genna is setting up the camera. The preparation is key, and worth spending the extra time on. You wouldn't want to film it all, and then figure out that a shadow falls in the wrong place. We needed to set up lighting, camera settings and of course the lipsticks!

Once the product shots were filmed, we moved on to capturing me applying each of the lipsticks. Now that I have a core range of four, but now have six limited edition shades, it meant quite a lot of applying and removing, applying and removing!

Obviously I couldn't take pictures of myself, so all of the Instagrams are from Genna. It certainly feels weird applying lipstick with a camera right behind you!

After wiping my lips with tissue so often (for all of the wide shots, and then again for close ups, and of course for outtakes), they are certainly feeling a little sad this evening! 

I'm excited to see it! It is always a little weird watching yourself on video, but I'm sure Genna will do a great job editing!
