Tweet When I go abroad, especially Asia I love to see what the big mainstream brands have for the customers out there – for example, the major brands almost always have a whitening range that isn’t available for the European market. Even high street brands have different ranges for the brand. I spotted this cheap and cheerful lip balm from Maybelline which I don’t think is out in the UK? This is a natural lip balm with orange peel, and {Read More}
Tweet I am having a blogging “catch up” week this week ladies! My weekends have been so full that I have no time to take photos of the new items I’ve been testing but luckily I have a back log of things to post about! Whilst on Holiday I took a few lipsticks with me – all new – not too many because in the heat who can be bothered doing a full face of make up!? I hauled MAC {Read More}
Tweet Aloha! Hopefully you won’t mind the mosts about pregnancy related things – I’ve found out quite a lot over the last few months and it may be useful for mums to be and also, a lot of the skincare and vitamins aren’t just for pregnant women! I’ve used a number of body oils, balms and creams over the months! I thought I’d get a lot of stretch marks as my mother and aunts all got it during pregnancy but {Read More}
Tweet Pregnancy takes it’s toll on your legs! For me it has resulted in a lot of aching around the calves and swelling. I’ve also had pains in my foot and on the odd occasion, a pain radiating down one of my legs..and don’t get me started on the cramps! I frequently have to jump out of bed to even it out the muscle spasms. It is very very nice to get a leg up (are you reading this Mr {Read More}
Tweet MAC skincare!? Pah! It’s strange when companies famous of make up then make skincare because I always wonder if it’s just a pointless add on. Having said that I adore Shu Uemura skincare and NARS (although they are both Japanese made, and Japanese brands in general cross over skincare and cosmetics quite well). I did buy this Complete Comfort Creme a while ago after the MUA used it on me after a cosmetic trial. I liked how thick it felt on {Read More}
Tweet I am not the biggest fan of face powders in general – I hate anything that looks cakey on the face and sometimes, I find it can make my dry patches look worse. If I had to use any powder, then I prefer Chanel for loose powder and MAC Careblend Powder (pressed) is also excellent. For my wedding I used a completely different powder though! Sisley’s Phyto-Poudre Compacte comes in 3 variations: 00 – Irisee – (Satin finish) 01 {Read More}
Tweet Now that I have told you all about Baby Candy, I thought I’d do a few little reviews of the pre-natal vitamins I have taken over the last few months. Folic Acid is important during pregnancy and ideally conception too. The Midwife told me that beyond 12 weeks it was pointless to take folic acid because the baby’s nervous system and spine would already be formed by then, however I have chosen to continue to take vitamins throughout. I {Read More}
