One of my favourite makeup launches this year has to be the new Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Lipstick. It is a lipstick...but not as you know it. It is a mixture between a lipgloss, lipstick and lip stain...and I freakin' love it. The collection includes eight gorgeous colours that apply oh-so-easily. The non-sticky formula glides across the lips and feels incredibility lightweight, like you're wearing nothing. What's even better is that the lipstick contains nymphaea extract, a natural hydrator that smooths and moisturises the lips as you wear it.

Each colour in the range is highly pigmented and leaves the glossiest finish on the lips. Now, this gorgeous glossy finish doesn't last all day however, when it fades, you are left with a beautifully stained lip that holds its colour for hours.

Although this next product doesn't launch until the 1st April, I have to share my love for it immediately! It is the Decléor Aroma Nutrition Satin Softening Dry Oil, aka The Body Moisturising Master. This oil is just amazing. Being a dry oil, it absorbs into the skin almost immediately. I am not usually a fan of body oils, as I rarely have the patience to wait around for them to soak into my skin, but this one changes everything - it is the perfect product for a fussy gal like me. After each application, my skin is left deeply moisturised and soo soft.

The experience of applying the Aroma Nutrition Dry Oil is a pleasure all on its own. Firstly because it applies easily - gliding onto the skin quickly and evenly - and secondly, because it smells absolutely amazing. Like, seriously amazing. It contains frankincense essential oil and lipid-replenishing camellia oil, which blend together to make the body smell beautiful.

Ingredients 101: Cranberry Seed Oil

Natural or Synthetic: Natural

Origin: Cranberry seed oil is extracted from the seeds of the superfruit. In most cases, the ingredient is extracted via the cold pressing method

Location: Most of the world's cranberries are cultivated in North America (Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin), as well as parts of British Columbia and Quebec

Beauty Benefits: Cranberry seed oil makes for an amazing skincare ingredient as it penetrates the skin easily, is deeply moisturising and is packed with antioxidants, helping it protect the skin from free radical damage (which accelerates skin ageing).

It is rich in vitamin E and vitamin A and is also high in phytosterols and phospholipids. Cranberry seed oil also contains a unique balance of omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids. These amazing properties enable cranberry seed oil to treat and sooth irritated skin (it is great for those with eczema and psoriasis) and acne. For the hair lovers out there, this wonder ingredient also helps to heal, strengthen and moisturise the hair and scalp.

Warnings: Cranberry seed oil is considered safe to use topically

Found in: Decléor Intense Nutrition Comforting Cocoon Cream 50ml (£44.50 decleor.co.uk / $65.00 decleorusa.com). This thick and ultra nourishing face cream is the perfect partner for those with dry skin. In addition to being packed with cranberry seed oil, the Intense Nutrition Cream contains avocado oil, argan oil and phytosqualane. These hero ingredients work together to deeply moisturise the skin, strengthen its protective barrier and improve the overall quality of the skin.

Lately my skin has been going through a nasty dry spell (thanks winter!) and I've been experiencing flakiness. However, since using the Intense Nutrition Comforting Cocoon Cream for over a week my skin has returned to normal.

Interview: Rupert Kingston

Rupert Kingston has spent years in the makeup industry, working with amazing beauty brands, high profile celebrities and numerous magazines. He is not only an established makeup artist, but the Creative Director and Co-Founder of the new British beauty brand everyone is talking about. Yes, you guessed it ... Delilah.

Like most girls across the UK, I have fallen in love with Delilah (I'm actually obsessed with the brand's foundation and blusher!). So I was very excited when I got the chance to chat all things beauty with Rupert...

What inspired you to work in the beauty industry? And how did your career journey begin?

I came from a painting and drawing background and was really inspired by theatrical makeup. Very early on (for a GCSE art project) I wanted to experiment with body painting, so I took a trip to London to visit Screenface. Walking into that little shop in Notting Hill was just inspiring, I bought some water based body paint and a bruise wheel (makeup for creating bruises); from then on I pursued a career in makeup!

I trained at the London College of Fashion in the early 90s, as it was one of the only makeup courses in Europe at the time. Once qualified I worked in television for a while, however it was only when I joined a creative agency that things really started to take off.
