While the holidays might be done and dusted for another year, the good news is that summer is far from over – you’ve got another six weeks of fine weather to enjoy. So instead of shedding a tear over lost days at the beach, you can cheer yourself up with balmy nights to come, spent with a cocktail in hand.
VnC Cocktails have piqued our interest and tickled our tastebuds with their range of ready-to-pour, but all natural, drink selection. They’ve been kicking around in their country of origin, New Zealand, for a few years, but now there’s a selection of flavours available for the Australian market. A Vodka Mojito, Pomegranate Cosmo, Pacific Mai Tai, Mango Daiquiri, or Passionfruit Caprioska are all yours to enjoy without expending a modicum of effort (apart from opening the fridge door).
What we especially love about the VnC range is that they only contain the kinds of things you’d put into a cocktail yourself: vodka, juice and a touch of sweetener. It’s all you need, really.
The VnC Cocktail range is available nationally at Woolworths Liquor, Dan Murphy’s and BWS. RRP $19.99/700ml bottle.
Vegas SEVEN is an innovative weekly publication about life in Las Vegas - News, Nightlife, A&E, Sports & Style.. all this, and great taste in cocktails!

Refinery29 has posted an awesome we article demonstrating a few different ways to re-invent your staple red lippy. With the multitude of Xmas parties happening at the moment, what better time to try something different?
Two-Tone Lips (above, left)
“A red lip done with two complementary shades makes for a high-impact pout that’s a surefire conversation starter. The trick to this look is picking two shades that are similar and have the same undertones, like a cool-toned red and a bright fuchsia. Swipe the darker color on your lower lip and the brighter hue on your top lip. To keep the colors from bleeding into each other, dust a bit of transparent powder on top, to finish.”

“To get this sexy shimmery pout, makeup maven Pat McGrath first lined lips with a deep red liner, then filled in the lip with a cherry red lipstick. Using her finger, she dabbed some loose red glitter directly into the center of the lips, blotting it outwards. Two coats of a thick, jelly gloss on top sealed the glitter in place and added shine.”
Kissed Off (above, left)
“A low-maintenance, super-sexy way to wear a red lip is a stain that makes it look like you’ve just spent a lot of time locking lips. To get the look, makeup artist Ellis Faas suggests applying a wine-colored lipstick directly to the center of the lip and fading it out with your fingertips. “The result is a very natural, sensuous lip that looks like you have just been kissing. It is also a great way to wear lipstick, for a woman who might not be used to, or like, the feeling of product on her lips,” says Faas.”
Dip-Dyed Lips(above, right)
“To get this cool gradient effect, McGrath lined and filled in lips with a deep red lip pencil, used a brush to dab a deep burgundy lipstick on the entire lip, then tapped a rich, true-red lipstick on to the very center of the lips. A coat of gloss finished off the look and helped blend the colors into each other for a seamlessly blended look.”
