Award-winning looks from Lush

Celebrities sparkled on the red carpet last night and offered a host of beauty ideas and inspiration. While A-listers are lucky enough to have make-up artists at the ready, sadly most of us don't have this luxury. To help achieve celebrity glamour at home, Lush has the perfect selection of beauty essentials to get you looking like a star in no time!

A Bold Lip: A bold red lip was undoubtedly the winner on the beauty front at this year's Academy Awards. Perfected by A-listers such as Angelina Jolie, Milla Jovovich and Rooney Mara, this look can easily be achieved with Lush's new A Million Kisses lip tint ($9.95) this deep-red lip tint is scented with rose, leaving lips soft, supple and tinted a romantic hue. A Million Kisses can also be used as a cream blusher, to accentuate the cheekbones and give that coy, flushed glow. Celebrity glamour for under $10... now that deserves an award!

Super shiny gold locks: Glamazons Cameron Diaz, Michelle Williams and Gwyneth Paltrow dazzled on the red carpet with their silky-soft, shiny blonde locks. To achieve the perfect blonde 'do, Lush's Marilyn hair treatment ($25.95 for 225g) is here to help. This deep conditioning mask works with the aid of lemon juice to revitalise, brighten and enhance hair's natural (or un-natural!) highlights. It also contains chamomile, saffron and olive oil to condition and strengthen the hair, leaving it silky and manageable. Go on, award your hair this nourishing treat.

The nude lip: While bold red lips were indeed a hit on this year's red carpet, the nude lip was also showcased by many a celeb including Sandra Bullock, Natalie Portman and Penelope Cruz (featured). For a simple, nude look, Lush's new Latte lip tint ($9.95) is the ultimate beauty essential. A moisturising lip balm with a hint of fair trade coffee flavouring to give you a pick me up when you need it. This blend of almond oil, organic jojoba oil and Japan wax will give a moisturising boost to your lips while still being light to wear. Icing sugar, vanilla powder and vanilla absolute give it that delicious latte aroma. Smother over lips to leave them soft, nourished and kissable. Latte is sure to be a winner in your make-up bag!
