Hot on the lips and top of the tips from the beauty pack this season is Bourjois’ Smile Enhancing Gloss. I am a lipgloss lover; always keen for sheen from the pick of the slick in my quest for the perfect pout. Having been granted with a gloss that produces a shiny set of smackers and whitened nashers was quite simply a no-brainer; it was coming with me to Sugarhut, Essex where I hoped to flaunt its fabulousness to the Brentwood bunch.

I was in the “Brent ‘hood” to attend the launch party of Minnies Boutique Online Store and was expecting my fellow partygoers to have skin the colour of dark mahogany wood stain and teeth the shade of Pure Brilliant White on the Dulux colour chart. Indeed, I was not wrong. CM14 is one postcode where its female residents are unfamiliar with going au naturel. Instead, local gals pay homage to spray tans, false eyelashes, vajazzles and a make-up bag synonymous to the hand baggage allowance of a low-cost airline flight to their overseas playground of Marbella. Yet, it was the Framboise Hollywood Smile Enhancing Gloss ‘pon my pout that caused one of my fellow partygoers, Harry Derbidge, to make his excuses from the gaggle of autograph-hunting girls that had formed around him, to shrill “Oh my gawd, I luv your lipgloss hun”.

After a quick application of the tooth brightening effect gel and gloss onto my teeth and lips on Brentwood High Street, I’d entered Sugarhut feeling as sweetly satisfied as Micky Norcross and his money-spinning sugar-coated nightclub.  Upon exiting, I was pictured, beaming ear to ear by The Daily Star; sure-fire proof in the pudding that Bourjois’ Smile Enhancing Gloss breeds star quality. 

Framboise Hollywood & I made our way home from Brentwood, Essex bubbling with excitement at the night we’d shared together; Framboise razzle dazzled in all her glossy glory all night long. Indeed, so ravishing is she, Ms. Hollywood faces an imminent departure from the UK to glamorously gleam abroad, in the sunshine celeb-filled state of a seemingly different Brentwood to the TOWIE stomping ground; Brentwood, Los Angeles.
