Tweet Just when you thought that the only things you could grind were: a. Pepper b. Salt c. Coffee d. An Axe The cosmetic companies prove me wrong. I present Cliniques Superbalanced Mineral Powder Make Up with SPF 15: The grinding thing isn’t original – I had my beady eye on Smashbox’s Halo Hydrating Powder for a long time but at £41.50 (including a brush) it was too pricey for my liking PLUS there was only Light, Medium and Dark {Read More}

Winner Announcement & Catch Up!
September 24, 2009 by
Tweet Yes, yes its time for me to grovel once again at my lack of productivity – you know I am usually good for 3 posts a day but recently work has been exhausting, so I have been falling asleep, dribbling on my MAC in the process. With a bit more rest in me I have lots of cool posts coming up, a homemade tutorial, some bargain make up finds, inspired FOTD and *fingers crossed* a blog sale coming up. {Read More}

September 24, 2009 by
Tweet Vibrating things have been big, like, forever, in the sex industry, but in cosmetics? This is sort of new. I was sent this Maybelline Pulse Perfection mascara to try out last week and I finally got round to having a play. It’s a whopping £15 – I saw whopping because its rather pricey for a drugstore level mascara. I think £10 is steep for a mascara anyway (considering that 90% amount of them that just don’t work for my {Read More}

There are so many reasons as to why people won’t give you your money back. The US is fantastic for returns even for make up items (and US ladies, please do comment and tell me if this is not as great as I think it is…). In the UK returns for cosmetics is a {Read More}
Hauling again: Bésame Enchanting Lipsticks in Red Hot Red, Carmine & Exotic Pink
September 22, 2009 by
Tweet I didn’t have the best experience with Bésame last week – the lipstick I bought was too frosty and the lip gloss made my lips burn. Nevertheless, it was pay day so along came three more lipsticks (ok I admit it. I ordered them and it was too late to cancel….d’oh!). This time I picked up 3 shades – Red Hot Red, Exotic Pink and Carmine. I tried to pick out colours I thought were easy of the frostings {Read More}
