Tweet The UK’s first Halal make up range has been launched by Muslim business woman, Samina Akhter, called Pure Makeup. When I think of Halal I usually think of food, but in the context of make up, it means that none of the ingredients will contain alcohol or animal by products. Samina’s make up is made in accordance to strict Islamic Law. I did a quick interview with Samina Akhter to ask her about the rage and also to see {Read More}
Tweet People buy discontinued and out of season make up for all kinds of reasons. It could be that you: a. Want a specific product that has been discontinued by a manufacturer/brand. b. Want a specific shade that has been discontinued by a manufacturer/brand. c. Want to try a range that has been completely discontinued …and so on… Being a bona fide bargain hunter (no matter what it is I’m buying!) I find myself buying a lot of out of {Read More}
Tweet Last weekend was still quite sunny (it’s ridiculously grey, windy and rainy where I am right now! God I wish there was some sun seeing as I’ve just bought a load of summer outfits!). So here’s 4 random photographs from when the sun was still around… 1. Frozen Yoghurt… …is my bag.

Tweet …or something. I mean sofa adverts are the scourge of the earth anyway but this CSL one is takes it to a whole new level. It’s trying to give you a narrative, a storyline, a la Nescafe Gold Blend and demonstrate the passing of time a la John Lewis except, John Lewis’s advert used effective editing and actors to demonstrate this, and also left you with a warm fuzzy feeling. This one uses unsubtle captions like: 9 months later….6 {Read More}
Tweet Totally self indulgent, but I need your advice! Which bag colour do you prefer? Black or Brown? I need to purchase soon, and I would usually go for brown but my heart sort of likes black… or Brown?
Tweet So I was in MAC again at the weekend and this time I was matched to a NC30 foundation (Mineralized – I really like). The thing is…last time I was matched to a NC40! A good 3 shades darker. Does anyone else have this problem with foundation matching? SA’s generally either choose something too light, or match me with something too dark. It’s also pretty difficult to return make up to a counter in the UK. The fact is {Read More}
Tweet Sorry I’ve been quiet this weekend guys, but I am so busy and yes – tired! But…. 1. I would like to wish my American readers Happy Independence Day (it is called that right?). This cat would also like to wish you Happy Independence Day: I hope you are proud, cos I licked my first twinkie yesterday.
