We both had the exact same shade of lipstick and had on black and white dresses. I think you would all agree she looked fabulous. I took a look at her jewellery designs after the launch. Maxine makes super cute pieces with polymer clay which she then hand paints. They are quite simply delicious!</span></span></span></span><br />
