I have already expressed a love for Top Shop nail polishes! I was gifted these two extremely bright nail polishes from the range to try. How bright are these? Make a change from winter reds I guess! The shades are Marine Scene, a bright blue and Jewel in the Crown, a teal. I find the […]
So you have till tomorrow (1st December) to get your butts down to Boots or on to Boots Online to buy this weeks star offer which is this Gorgeous by Gok Wan Body set (£22, usual price £45). The Totally Gorgeous by Gok – Vanity Case includes: • Body Wash – 200ml • Shower Scrub – […]
Japanese eyeshadows, especially high street/drugstore level brands usually come in palettes with a particular colour theme (ie. browns or purples etc.) and come with a selection of shades from light to dark – very handy. They also tend to be sheer and shimmery although some palettes pack a real punch, the majority are wearable daytime […]
Another Tony Moly Nail Polish! They have yet another small series of colours called neon, which consists of a neon pink, neon blue and this neon orange/coral. I love a tacky neon polish! This orange is no where near as bright as I expected though! It isn’t muted, don’t get me wrong! But it isn’t […]
I added a new polish to my Dolly Wink Nail Polish Collection ! I wanted a bright baby blue specifically and this is the first one I thought of. These polishes are really quite dinky but cute: I don’t normally go for baby blue like this, it looks quite plastic…
I got my lovely aunt to pick something up for me from Duty Free and…she failed. She allegedly said that she thought she could buy it “on the plane” which at that point she presented me with some out of date Turkish Delight instead. A month later she was on another holiday and this time […]
I thought that my foundation brush hauling days were over after I bought the Shu Uemura Goat Hair brush but alas…when I saw this foundation brush from Shiseido, the 131, I had to buy it. I am a sucker for interesting brush designs and with it being Shiseido…I knew it would be good, PLUS it […]
2 years ago (wow!) I wrote about The Japanese Skincare Revolution, a book by a lady called Chizu Saeki, a skincare guru. In the book she recommends a regime of using moist facial masks and sheets to hydrate and plump this skin; according to her, this was one of the most important steps to looking […]
I am somewhat at a mascara-dead-zone at the moment. My lashes aren’t behaving of late, they are super duper straight, and all the mascaras I’ve been using are not holding curl. It’s so annoying seeing the lashes nicely curled then flop as a single layer of the black stuff is applied; it’s like erectile dysfunction […]
Have you seen my make up brush collection? And how I stored it (for a while?!). It’s quite immense. I don’t usually wash them all at the same time, I do just a couple at a time every 2 weeks or so (especially base brushes). I see all kinds of cleansers, soap, shampoo, alcohol.I don’t […]
This rather cute highlighter from Benefit landed on my doorstep (or floor…I don’t actually have a door step) a few weeks ago. My first thought was – CUTE!, followed by, What is it?, followed by, where did I put my phone? Watt’s Up! is a highlighter stick, and the latest addition to the highlighter loving […]
If there’s one thing I really love testing it’s foundation! Cheap or expensive, thick or runny – I love the prospect of possibly finding the foundations – to rule them all. Now this foundation I have had for quite a while, so I guess I’ve given it a good test throughout winter and spring! It […]
I lied to you, there are no apples in this body gel from Skinfood; it is all pears. As I write this I am dreaming about a pear tart with some chocolate on top. Yum! Pears are nice I think, especially squishy ones and it’s a very inoffensive scent, one that I am quite fond […]
Veet’s newest invention is the EasyWax Electrical Roll-on Kit, a heat up roll on wax dispenser type contraption, that evenly spreads the product over your hairy bits so they are easy to wax. Ta da! I like every kind of gadget, even more so beauty ones and although I am not a big waxer (not […]
Creer Beaute, like SANA, is one of those Japanese brands that seems to produce lots of little sub ranges and varied, interesting products. La Rose de Versailles is one of their ranges and I believe there are 2 characters, Oscar (scary looking lady) and Antoinette (more angelic looking lady). I believe the Antoinette shades are […]
I’ve heard many a good thing about Guerlain’s Lingerie De Peau liquid foundation, so was excited to try their Lingerie De Peau Compact Foundation which is the carry round, quick use base. I do have a thing for compact foundations, as you may have noticed; I love on the go products. This palette is quite […]
I have already showed you my Mary Quant palette which took much planning. On my last trip to London I went to the Mary Quant shop again, with a plan to put together a palette of neutrals and browns! I bought 8 in total and a case: I had semi planned this in my head by […]
You know I have been so busy this year that I completely missed the blog’s 4th birthday, which was on October 3rd. I can’t believe it’s been four years since I started blogging. Things have changed a lot for beauty blogging, but I still like to keep it simple. I also still have lots to […]
Earlier this week I had a killer busy day, one of those where you’re booked up with appointments from 8 in the morning til 9pm at night. I love it, although in my experience, by the end of the day I am a sweaty, greasy, fumbling hot mess. Indeed, following directions and getting around is […]
Lips of the day time! You know – I just love lipsticks and lip glosses but when you have so many, it’s hard to find something that is really lovely and impressive. Also the prices of lip products have seemed to soar, even high street brands like L’oreal are pushing £10 for a basic lipstick! […]
