Beauty in your pottery
The latest (or should we say oldest?) discovery in the beauty world is a clay pot that you can use as a lip stain. Called "Aker" or "Aker Fassi", this North African beauty hack makes use of the natural dyes in a pot made from red ochre terracotta that's been blended with powdered rose petals, or poppy and wax. Mixed with oil or water, the powder turns into a bright red cheek and lip stain that provides the perfect natural flush.
This currently retails at about £8 and so many beauty lovers have been going gaga for it. We can't help but wonder how good this weighty addition to a kikay kit might be!

The 9-piece "Beautifully Precise" line includes a powder brush, airbrush blender, airbrush stipple, sculpting brush, eye shadow brush, smoky smudge brush, dual-sided eyebrow brush, eyeliner brush, and the most interesting one in the collection: the Multi-Blender Massager. It sort of looks like a paint brush but it's perfect for blending in foundation, powder or blush with its curved bristles. The silver and clear acrylic handles look absolutely gorgeous, too!
