I’m going through my relatively small nail polish collection and photographing my favourite shades. This week is Orange! I have already reviewed the Majolica Majorca Speedy Polishes and I think they are excellent – easy to apply and yes, they do dry very quickly indeed! The colours are beautiful too. Just one thing – it’s quite a small bottle for you polish addicts out there! Not a problem for me because I don’t wear polish […]
This is an extension of Blog Sale 6 (sort of!) which happened over the weekend (take a look there are about 8 items left). Won’t be doing another one for a while now. The usual blurb: Please read T&C’s from a previous sale if you aren’t sure. Shipping – Recorded/Tracked only. Will be calculated for each order individually using Royal Mail chart. 50p on top for packing charges and International (non UK) parcels will be […]
Many weeks ago I visited Celebrity Make Up Artist Lina Cameron (this post is way, way overdue by the way) at her studio on Princes Street in the heart of Central London. I was booked in for a make up lesson, and was told to bring my make up bag. As regular readers will know – my make up collection is massive so all I took with me was my carry round make up bag. […]
I’m going through my relatively small nail polish collection and photographing my favourite shades. This week is Oranges! Ok ok. So you may say that Barielle Polish in Blossom is not quite an orange, more of a soft peach. I guess it is but it’s SOOOOO pretty. I love. Barielle as always, is a slightly thicker polish and it takes me a bit longer to apply it smoothly but once it’s on, it does seem […]
If you have seen my second You Tube Video with Megs, you will know that according to Chinese grannies (or perhaps just my granny), you are not supposed to go to sleep with wet hair. My gran says this is because it will give you ‘wind wet’ (literal translation!) or rather, Rheumatism. I always wash in the evening. Habit. My hair stays wet for ages because I tend to let it dry naturally. It has […]
Today I feel like this… So not much chit chat from me today – I have a big family day out to organise, a big birthday, and some disastrous odds and ends to tie up. Lots and lots to say but no time to say it. One quick note – I did a small blog sale last week, thanks to all who shopped. I have since found a few more items to add to the […]
I’m going through my relatively small nail polish collection and photographing my favourite shades. This week is Oranges! Orly as I have mentioned before is (I think) an easy polish to apply because of it’s slightly runny texture. Life’s a peach, although requiring 2-3 coats too give a good colour, is a rather nice, metallic orange. I wouldn’t say it was THAT peachy – more tangerine like, or Satsuma-ish. Nice for summer? Hell yes! Think […]
Curses to those who sell me wobbly lipsticks! The lipstick in question is my MAQUillage Glossy Lipstick (can’t remember the exact name, MAQUillage always give their lipsticks still names like Perfect Gloss Rogue, Nuance Perfect Rouge, Gloss Nuance Rouge, Shine Perfect Nuance Rouge etc. etc.): I LOVE this lipstick. The texture, the colour (RS304 – cool toned pink-mauve) is DIVINE. One of my top 5 lipsticks. My issue is this: 1. The lipstick is not […]
