Of course I had to order one for myself!

Tape Face Collection - My Favourite Picks

The tape face collection features Lulu's signature Red Lips in Appliqué and a pair of cheeky, winking eyes.

The Rachel Pouch, £125. The Continental Wallet, £125. Cesca Tote, £350.

The Rachel Pouch is the perfect sized clutch bag to contain all your evening essentials. The Continental Wallet has plenty of slots for all your cards and compartments for your receipts, notes and chains. The Cesca Tote is a great tote bag, with a removable shoulder strap, with the opportunity for handheld or across the body.

No Lulu Guinness collection is complete without an Iconic Lips Clutch. The perspex clutch comes in a rainbow spectrum with different textures and finishes, with new season colours for AW15, Damson and Burnt Orange, expanding the collection. 

I'm lucky enough to own not one, but two lips clutches. I purchased the Mirrored clutch for my prom, and I also have a translucent red clutch that I got from the Lulu Guinness outlet at Cheshire Oaks, There are also Outlet's In Oxford and Ireland, they're perfect for snagging past seasons products at a fraction of the price!
