Have you tried this before? The Orgasmatron Head Massager!

October 9, 2010 by Row

Tweet I have seen these around for ages but I finally bought one from a discount store for £1.99! The Orgasmatron is a head massager, like a clam type contraption that looks like an instrument of torture: I tried this out – what a weird sensation! I felt my entire head tingle – urgh – like getting chills down my spine but I sort of liked it! I used it on Mr C and he collapsed into a heap on {Read More}

Beauty Ramble: What beauty hauls make you truly excited?

October 8, 2010 by Row

Tweet So I haul make up quite regularly *cough cough* and there’s no doubt that some things induce far more excitement than others. I was thinking; most make up I buy without thinking, out of habit (ie. I collect Nars multiples so I’ll even buy ones that don’t suit me!) and quite often just because I want to review it, or swatch it, or just because it’s a new release. (When I buy MAC for example, I usually find it {Read More}

Screw You! Fragrance Direct UK Discount Perfume Store Review & Rant

September 21, 2010 by Row

Fragrance-Direct-NYX-Sally-Hansen-Make-Up-discount-cosmetics.jpg

Tweet Why do I do this to myself? I made an order last week – let’s call it I woz bored shopping, at Fragrancedirect.com. Like many similar online discount stores, they sell discounted scent, skincare and make up. There are lots of these kinds of sites on the web, some are fantastic, some not so much. Fragrance Direct is one of the bigger, well known discount stores so despite some people telling me it was dodgy, I went ahead and {Read More}

Cringing at the Counter: When The Boss Goes Bad

August 30, 2010 by Row

Tweet So I was shopping at Muji yesterday, one of my favourite places to buy things and was really peeved when I realised all the staff had changed over and the new guys were the archetypal nightmare shop assistants; ignorant, unhelpful, disinterested. That got my thinking all about my experiences in retail as a customer and when I was younger, as a shop assistant. God knows some nightmare customers exist but one thing I found from a very brief stint {Read More}

Tweet Not that I was googling Twilight for any *cough* reason *cough* but I noticed that the Twilight Luna range had 2 new palettes! And both look gorgeous! (I haven’t tried these yet so can’t comment on the textures). I present to you the Jacob: This palette offers an array of richly pigmented warm copper, amber, and sage shadows with the perfect velvety texture for smooth application. Paired with a radiating sun-kissed pink gloss, this color combination is irresistible much {Read More}

Yay or Nay? Megan Fox replaces Lara Stone as the face of Armani Cosmetics

August 7, 2010 by Row

Tweet So, Megan Fox will be replacing David Walliams’s missus, Lara Stone as the face of Armani Cosmetics and replacing Victoria Beckham as she fronts their underwear campaign. Megan is set to star in Armani adverts starting in October. I personally think that Megan Fox will sell make up by the bucket loads because she has one of those faces, like Kim Kardashian that wears glamourous make up well. The only thing for me, is that she was a naturally {Read More}

All of us are lost: 5 beauty items I’d really like to find…please..?

August 4, 2010 by Row

Tweet Mr C shouts at me when I lose things, because in the end, it will be him who has to help me look for them for hours, only for me to find that I’ve been sitting on it the whole time. Sometimes I forget what I have in my collection and I have to search for it on the blog to make sure I actually own it (sad, I know). Then I can try and find it! Basically, I {Read More}
