Pretty Purple Eyes: Visee Blossom Eyes Limited Edition Eyeshadow Review

Pretty Purple Eyes: Visee Blossom Eyes Limited Edition Eyeshadow Review

Visee is not my favourite Japanese drugstore level brand – far from it but nevertheless, sometimes they release some really nice products. I seem to have quite a lot of their eyeshadow palettes because I find they tend to be bolder than other brands. I got the chance to try this new Limited Edition palette, […]

Love it! Covergirl Exact Eyelights Mascara in Black Pearl for Brown Eyes Review

Oh my days – Covergirl. That is a brand I haven’t touched for quite a while. See, they pulled out of the UK market years ago but whilst they are still thriving in the US, this brand has almost entirely non existent blighty. (Remember Covergirl Clean Makeup?! It was the FIRST foundation I ever bought […]

Orange Make Up: Lavshuca Melting Eye & Moist Melting Rouge Lipstick Haul

Orange Make Up: Lavshuca Melting Eye & Moist Melting Rouge Lipstick Haul

Lavshuca was once my favourite brand, ever, but in the last 2 years or so, the products have really slipped. The range still looks lovely, the products are good, but not as amazing as they once were. Nevertheless, I always give things a chance! I purchased their new Melting Eye Eyeshadow Palette and a Moist […]

Want It: Trish McEvoy Must Have Essential Collection for Eyes Limited Edition Set

As soon as I saw this Must Have Essential Collection for Eyes from Trish McEvoy I kinda went “ooohhhh”. This kit is not quite a planner, but it has everything you need in it in a compact space. The mesh bag also fits into the petite planner perfectly. They say: A maxed out multifunction Trish […]

Help for dry, chapped lips: Skinfood Honey Lip Treatment Review

Despite Lip Scrubs (even home made ones!) my lips are still incredibly dry and chapped. So when I saw this Skinfood Honey Lip Treatment on eBay, I had to have it! Costing around £6 including shipping, I thought it was a rather cute investment. Honey is hydrating and indeed a very nice treatment for this […]

Hauled it: Napoleon Perdis & Laura Mercier Make Up Brushes Review

This post should actually be called, “damn you eBay” followed by “damn you hazy shopping” because god knows I don’t need any more make up brushes but I can’t resist the ‘Bay. And yet….they still treat me like crap. Don’t you hate generic eBay answers to questions that tell you nothing at all? They should […]

She ruined Bedazzled too: Elizabeth Hurley Organic Oat Bar

Not an Elizabeth Hurley fan – I don’t actually get what she does but hey, I guess she does look good in a Bikini?! I spotted these Elizabeth Hurley Oat Bats whilst in Holland & Barretts. I specifically bought them to moan about them. Why? Because sure they look chic but they are tiny! Just […]

Muji, Muji, how I love thee. So the other day I did some hauling – I noticed some bargain bins in the store and ended up picking up some random bits which I thought I’d share! Remember when I reviewed The Japanese Skincare Revolution by Chizu Saeki? She recommended using a swan neck bottle to […]

You roast the chicken, not yourself: Calypso Deep Tan Original Carrot Oil

I was searching eBay for some SPF protection for my hair and scalp, when I spotted this Calypso Deep Tan Original Carrot Oil with SPF….0. Man, do they still make this stuff? I remember when the girls at school used to cover themselves in vegetable oil and burn themselves in the “front” garden, over a […]

Yay or Nay? Megan Fox replaces Lara Stone as the face of Armani Cosmetics

So, Megan Fox will be replacing David Walliams’s missus, Lara Stone as the face of Armani Cosmetics and replacing Victoria Beckham as she fronts their underwear campaign. Megan is set to star in Armani adverts starting in October. I personally think that Megan Fox will sell make up by the bucket loads because she has […]

Ewww Brown Lipstick: Korres Mango Butter Lipstick SPF15 in Soft Brown

So after the beautiful Kirstie over at Beaut.ie tried out a Revlon lipstick in Mink…a warm brown lipstick, I decided I should also wade in and give this dreaded hue a go. The fact is I don’t like brown toned anything, unless it’s a pair of shoes or a handbag, and even then we’re talking […]
