Tweet I got a press release about a treatment called Ulthera (yeah I thought I saw Urethra too) which uses ultrasound to the ‘natural healing process’ to tighten the loose skin on the brow. In just 30 minutes, the treatment can give you a brow lift of as much as 2cm. I didn’t even realise that this was a ‘thing’ – treatment to raise the eyebrows? I have never seen anyone that has made me think, GOD, she has such {Read More}
Tweet Did you know that Soap & Glory did make up too? You did? Where have I been? Oh stop it. It’s true, it’s true. Soap & Glory are such a big skincare range that I don’t really think of them as a port of call for cosmetics, but in fact they have quite a decent range of base, cheek and lip products! Today I am reviewing one of their matte lipsticks (they also have a ‘satin’ range): They say: {Read More}
Tweet I really can’t resist a nice lipstick…maybe it’s because if you find a great one, it’s an instant perker-uper, maybe that’s why I can always be tempted by a new colour or formula. When it comes to Asian brands, the general consensus is that they are glossy, sheer and with sometimes creamy. Even when a lipstick has a word in it’s title like ‘deep’ implying rich colour, the lipstick may still be very much a sheer! These {Read More}
Tweet My memory of the Hard Candy brand is the multitude of nail polish colours they stocked a Boots which came with a free plastic ring. Even back then they cost nearly £10 each, and I remember talking to school friends and confirming who had a rich dad..’But she’s got 4 of those Hard Candy rings!’. Hard Candy is no more in the UK but it lives on in the US! When I saw this Megawatt Smile Lipstick being recommended {Read More}
Tweet My final instalment of the Aveda Art of Nature collection is all about the lips lips lips! Once again I’ve never really used Aveda lip colour products before. I have the Nourish Mint in Melochia Bloom Lipstick (914-Sheer), Nourish-Mint Lip Liner in Barberry Bloom Lip Pencil, Nourishing Mint Rehydrating Lip Glaze in Kukui – all of these formulas are Limited Edition. What I found interesting about these products is that they’re not necessarily complimentary, although you can use them {Read More}
Tweet I usually try and maintain some kind of system when it comes to reviews, almost a one in one out thing so that I can work through the piles of products in a democratic order. However, sometimes I get something that I like so much I have to push it to the front of the queue…no…this review simply cannot wait. Aveda’s Art of Nature collection for Spring 2013 is a mixture of pastels and brights, 14 products in {Read More}
Tweet Some people just love their nude lip shades and I am one of those highly dedicated to beige. But times change – I no longer frequently wear deathly nudes that fade into my skintone…no…if one is to do nude it must have some pigment, it must be flattering and juicy. I have been looking for a Sofia Vergara (from Modern Family!) nude for a while. She rocks browny nudes to well. Then I get this beautiful lipstick from Mii {Read More}
Tweet I actually first came across these lipsticks when watching some Hong Kong based YouTubers who reviewed these lippies and wore them for an entire day with little fading – they did such convincingly appealing videos that I hunted these down on good old eBay, where they have already been released in the US of A. The idea of this lipstick, the Ultimate Suede, is that is moisturising and long lasting. It contains Shea Butter and Aloe, and is available {Read More}
