Tweet Just a few days ago I was defending our dear Catherine Zeta Jones against the nasty Daily Mail who were calling her old, haggard and using a clearly photoshopped image (other photo editing software is available). And then, this: Ok, ok let’s calm down. She was in the Darling Buds of May!!! Therefore, I refuse to believe this white powdery substance around her nose is anything other than Laura Mercier Translucent Powder (other brands are available). Remember when Nicole {Read More}
Tweet If there’s one shop where I can always find something to buy its Boots. Boots is the biggest pharmacy/drugstore over in the UK, where you can buy make up from drugstore level to high end, healthcare items, skincare, fragrance, even baby clothes and toys. This is what I picked up on my lunch break last week: Imperial Leather Foamburst Shower Gel in Hawaiian Spa (love this, good fun) Impulse Temptation Body Spray (was on offer and it had been {Read More}
Tweet You Tube is such a wonderful place – well, it has its downside – but overall its a fantastic place to watch what I want, when I want. It got me thinking – what do most people prefer – blog posts or videos? Blog Posts require a bit more effort – you have to read through it, but it can be more informative than a video (ie. when listing ingredients). Videos are quite a tricky medium I’ve come to {Read More}
Tweet The Daily Mail generally speaking, doesn’t like women very much and they love to pick on certain celebrities. They are forever bitching about (and giving backhanded comments to) Victoria Beckham, Christine Bleakley, Cheryl Cole (Tweedy?) and Catherine Zeta Jones et al. Today’s Daily Mail bitchy reporting says that something is “up” with Catherine’s face: Oh Catherine, whatever is going on with your face? That photograph taken on Monday as you arrived at the Film Society’s Chaplin Award Gala in {Read More}
Tweet Last week, me and Mr Candy decided to make some tapes (VHS for you spring chickens) for Candy Grandad, who hasn’t quite entered the DVD generation. As a result we ended up going through our own childhood tape collections, and I found an old recording of a Chinese Variety show by TVB (the biggest TV channel in Hong Kong). I used to watch this thing all the time as a kid, its kind of the way I picked up {Read More}
Tweet I own three Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shines in total, in a pink, a lilac and a glossy red. Cut a long story short: Pros: Gorgeous texture, gorgeous colour, just gorgeous to wear Cons: Not longwearing, expensive and the packaging! I don’t usually have a problem with the plastic casing of Shu Uemura Lipsticks – its quite retro and I don’t feel like I need opulence in every lipstick. However – these Supreme Shine Lipsticks have a design {Read More}
Tweet A while ago I asked if you felt that celebrities that endorsed beauty products should truly use the line they are promoting (rather than sneaking off for gold leaf facials or whatever it is they do). Then more celebrity revelations. Kylie states that she has given up Botox and uses Pond’s Cold Cream instead (around £3.99) to keep herself looking youthful. My nan uses Cold Cream. I quite like Cold Cream. It isn’t my staple though – not by {Read More}
Tweet Recently I had a seller tell me to send him $3 to cancel a listing. I know eBay almost inside out so I immediately waved a red flag in the sellers face and told him to scoot, but I thought I would just make it clear to anyone who wasn’t sure… When you buy something on eBay, you are saying that you want it and you are willing to pay for it. If something goes wrong, like they tell {Read More}
