Tweet I don’t review perfumes that often review because I am no expert, and also I only have about 8 on my dressing table and they are all quite well known branded ones (Chloe, Marc Jacobs Lola, Chanel No. 5 (light version), YSL Parisienne, Stella, Viktor and Rolf etc.). I’m not madly creative when it comes to scent. So I was interested to try Elemis’s Eau de Parfum Exotic; Warm Top Notes: Pink Pepper, Clove Bud and Cinnamon Bark Precious {Read More}
Tweet A few weeks ago I bought some new skincare from Lush and it’s all been pretty well used so here are some speed reviews of the products! My first purchase was Angels on Bare skin. I tried this stuff years ago when it was sold in a roll and when Lush stores were hard to come by and I hated it. It was difficult to use, stung a bit and was just generally a pain in the butt. To {Read More}
Tweet I’m going through my relatively small nail polish collection and photographing my favourite shades. This week is Greens! This Etude House Petit Darling nail polish is a bright, bright green – yet it hurts my eyes a little and no I wouldn’t wear it if I had anything serious going on… I guess it’s a bit of fun. It reminds me of glow in the dark paint, whilst it’s glowing. I like the creaminess of the polish…at least… What {Read More}
Tweet I think it’s been too long since I’ve featured Nars, so here it is – the new Nars Pure Matte Lipsticks. There are 6 colours in the range, each lipstick containing mango butter, vitamin e and acai oil to provide hydration and a highly pigment finish. So let’s take a look… Vesuvio (sounds like a car): A full bodied red Every lipstick collection needs a decent red and Vesuvio is it. Neither too pink or too blue, I found {Read More}
Tweet So I was shopping at Muji yesterday, one of my favourite places to buy things and was really peeved when I realised all the staff had changed over and the new guys were the archetypal nightmare shop assistants; ignorant, unhelpful, disinterested. That got my thinking all about my experiences in retail as a customer and when I was younger, as a shop assistant. God knows some nightmare customers exist but one thing I found from a very brief stint {Read More}
Tweet I’m going through my relatively small nail polish collection and photographing my favourite shades. This week is Greens! Will green ever be readily accepted as a every day polish? I get weird looks at work when I wear it unless its a pale mint. Anyway this one is a mossy kind of green, quite thick and creamy, it reminds me dark chinese cabbage. Mmm with a bit of Oyster sauce…. This is fairly wearable I reckon. Weird, but wearable. {Read More}
Tweet It’s a good job I don’t treat my make up like I treat my men, otherwise the current Mr Candy would’ve been replaced 10 times over by now. Go and grab some Pj’s and ice cream, cos I want to talk brand crushes with you (again)… As long as I’ve liked make up I’ve had brand crushes. On one hand I probably have something from most brands you can name, but I also go through phases of being utterly {Read More}
Tweet Some products are just packaged so beautifully that they have instant appeal. The first time I laid eyes on Oskia I just thought it was a stunning, beautiful skincare range. Simple and elegant. Oskia is derived from an ancient Greek work, meaning ‘delivering nutrients’ and ‘beauty’. Oskia products also include their MSM-Regen Complex™, a naturally collagen boosting, repairing and regenerating ingredient. It’s also paraben free and uses 98% natural or nature-identical ingredients. Got it?! Now….I have had these two {Read More}
