Mascara Week No. 4: Like Blinc Kiss Me Mascara? Try Trish McEvoy High Volume Mascara Jet Black Review

September 30, 2010 by Row

Tweet Another mascara review today! I got a little sample size of the Trish McEvoy High Volume Jet Black Mascara a while ago and I took this on my flight with me just incase I had an emergency sparse lash situation on the plane. They say: The marriage of Trish’s revolutionary smudge-proof volumizing formula and tiniest-bristled brush enables Trish’s High Volume Mascara to enhance lashes’ volume like never before. Exclusive water-resistant formula washes off effortlessly without leaving a trace. I {Read More}

I never knew Maybelline made such punchy lip colours! Here are some {Read More}

Cheek of the Day: YSL Blush Variation Venetian Rose Review and Swatches

September 29, 2010 by Row

Tweet I guess YSL isn’t necessarily my first stop if I am looking for a new blusher; which is was nice to try something new, something different. Yves Saint Laurent Blush Variation in Venetian Rose is the newest blush from the range and mixes a combination of flattering muted pink and warm brown. I’ve never tried the Blush Variation range before so was interested to feel the texture… YSL’s Blush Variation is split into four squares, but with two shades {Read More}

Mascara Week No. 3: MeMeMe Extreme Lengthening Lash Attack Mascara Review

September 29, 2010 by Row

Tweet I have hope when it comes to cheap mascaras (or should I say “cheaper” mascaras!) but quite frankly – results vary! I thought the packaging of the MeMeMe Lash Attack mascara (Extreme Lengthening) was rather funky though: Lash Attack! What a great name! Anyway, Lash Attack as a medium sized bristle brush which is pretty standard – I neither love it nor hate it. I can see lots of fibers on the brush, which is where the length comes {Read More}

Give Your Eyes A Pamper! Elemis Absolute Eye Mask Review

September 29, 2010 by Row

Tweet There’s nothing better than a nice pamper at the end of a long day and I am growing ever partial to a nice sheet mask (warmed up! Always warm, I don’t like cold things being plopped on my face unless it’s some kind of dessert…) I’ve been looking around for a while for a mask which is safe to use around the eyes – fact is you need to keep a lot of masks away from the delicate eye {Read More}

Smokey Eyes for Dummies: Mally Citychick Smokey Eye Kit in Tribeca Taupe Review

September 28, 2010 by Row

Tweet I lost my Mally virginity two weeks ago with the rather nifty palette; Citychick Smokey Eye Kit! I know nothing about Mally, I had no preconceptions about what the brand had to offer. I guess it’s kinda interesting that way, like going on a blind date but less scary in the context of make up. Citychick Smokey Eye Kit has an eye base, three complimentary eyeshadows and a dual ended pencil with a cream and black.: Yeah! An eye {Read More}

Mascara Review Week, No. 2: Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara Review

September 28, 2010 by Row

Tweet Max Factor mascara’s are a bit of an institution – not one that I’ve had a chance to partake in until now, being lash challenged ‘an all! Max Factors False Lash Effect mascara comes in an overweight tube, a little short fat thing which just takes up too much space in my dinky day to day make up bag. But a false lash effect?! Yes please, bring it on! The mascara brush is unusual – it’s plastic which very {Read More}
