Tweet I have phone phobia. I do. Maybe it’s because when someone speaks to me on the phone I worry that I wont have enough time to construct an intelligent answer. I am a written word kinda gal. I equally hate calling up places to make appointments because: a. The line is always engaged b. The person who answers is a dope and I need to keep repeating myself c. If I am at work I need to go and {Read More}
Tweet The thing about glittery eyeliners is that they can look really pretty, or really cheap and tacky. It’s the same for the textures; I’ve always found very glittery eye pencils to be quite hard and scratchy, and very hard to use on my delicate eyes. I quite like the now discontinued (I think) Nars Chubby Glitter Pencils as they were creamy, but they creased and smudged a lot. On the other hand, the Sisley Phyto Kohl Star Eyeliners have {Read More}
Tweet There was a girl at work recently, and she was on the phone, trying to think of an organisation…‘Ministry of……’ – she turned to me, and my first gut reaction was to say, ‘waxing’ – to which she looked at me slightly aghast, typed something into her keyboard and said down the receiver ‘justice’. It’s funny, but when you constantly see something every day or am completely engrossed in a world (in my case, all things beauty), your brain {Read More}
Tweet Many weeks ago I visited Celebrity Make Up Artist Lina Cameron (this post is way, way overdue by the way) at her studio on Princes Street in the heart of Central London. I was booked in for a make up lesson, and was told to bring my make up bag. As regular readers will know – my make up collection is massive so all I took with me was my carry round make up bag. As soon as I {Read More}
Tweet There has been much chatter about CND’s (Creative Nail Design) Shellac. It looks like nail polish, it applies like nail polish but you set it like a gel, and it lasts for 14 days without chipping (possibly more!). It also comes off in 10 minutes easily and dries immediately – before you leave the salon! I am no nail expert – I have recently become really fond of polish but I can’t tolerate anything that dries out my naturally {Read More}
Tweet Mention the dentist, and I get that strange bubbling feeling in my stomach, my palms start to sweat and I get tetchy. When I was a kid I had no sweet regulation system (blame my mother!) and sure enough, I chomped and chomped away until there we big holes in my teeth. Then there I was, aged 5 at the dentist being told that I needed to have 8 teeth pulled out. Its funny how I don’t remember much {Read More}
Tweet There is a reason why I am jealous of men and small children. No, its not their willingness to display immature behavior or their inability to feed themselves – its their lashes. Babies have fabulous lashes. Many men have amazing lashes. My other half has lashes that get tangled because they are so long. Sometimes I look at my arm pit hair and think, why couldn’t you have been transferred to my lashes instead – but no. Life doesn’t {Read More}
Tweet I generally find going to the hairdressers traumatic – too much chatter, weak coffee and hair I totally didn’t want at the end of it. Scary stuff. So my experience with Karine Jackson’s hair salon began well – I planned to visit whilst I was down in London so they sent me a skin allergy test, to see if I turned nasty on contact with PPD (a chemical in hair dye which turns some people out in terrible rashes): {Read More}
