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 shape of these polishes pleasing – maybe it’s their simplicity.

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 palettes. If you ask me, there was this season when KATE had the Glam Trick Eyes (absolutely stunning eyeshadows, pigmented, […]
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 quite as luminous as I expected.
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 She allegedly said that she thought she could buy it “on the plane” which at that point she presented me with some out of date Turkish Delight instead.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 insisted that she buy the Dior palette BEFORE she boarded a plane…and she did! Here is Dior 5 Couleurs Couture […]
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 is pretty much the same as the Shisedo The Make Up foundation brush on the Western market. Shiseido as we […]
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 young! I have tried this a few times to good results provided I use a decent toner but then gain […]
