Tweet Aloha! It’s time to start thinking about Valentine’s day gifts my dears. Valentine’s I think, is not just for star crossed lovers; what about your best friends, mums and dads and twitter friends?! So over the next week I have some gift suggestions for you; affordable, easy to buy and just really nice treats. For the glamour puss or someone who loves YSL Faux Cils mascara, this Special Edition of the mascara includes a Swarovski crystal love heart {Read More}
Tweet Every time I visit London, I like to seek out some beauty brands that I can’t buy ‘oop north’ [that means UP NORTH for those of you who don't know]. I noticed some UK beauty bloggers talking about Selfridges Beauty Playground (Oxford Street) which has a number of niche products in a relaxed layout (it was cool by the way, but they need Air Conditioning. Bloody boiling in there!). There I saw a small unassuming counter with BITE {Read More}
Tweet Whilst I was on my Honeymoon, I found a Sephora, and they had a rather tempting 50% off all lip glosses offer on *squeal* which I had to participate in! I purchased some things I’ve been wanting but couldn’t bring myself to buy, like some Chanel and YSL glosses, as well as a few Sephora ones. I purchased 3 of the YSL Glossy Stains which I had eyed up in Duty Free but luckily didn’t purchase as 50% discount {Read More}
Tweet When I was pregnant with Baby C I decided to buy some multi use products that would speed up my beauty routine. I managed to find two Josie Maran Argan Colour Stick products on eBay! These can be used on cheeks and lips and are a hefty 16g each! They say: The Argan-oil infused color stick is a sheer tint that gives lasting, natural- looking color to cheeks and lips. All shades are designed to flatter every skin tone. {Read More}
Tweet On counters from the 28th December are these Estee Lauder Pure Colour Stay On Shadow Paints. As a cream eyeshadow fan I am excited! Here is a preliminary look at the colours: Extreme Emerald and Bold Cobalt (not pictured) are Limited Edition. These eyeshadows can be used to create a soft wash of watercolour or can be built up to create a stronger look that lasts all day. Their Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara (£22) and Double Wear {Read More}
Tweet People quite frequently ask me, What is my favourite mascara? And my answer usually is…I dunno. It changes. Plus my lashes aren’t like your lashes, they’re straight and kind of awkward so, it takes a special kind of mascara. It’s like having big boobs or big feet; you need to buy good quality, expensive, rare bras and shoes because otherwise you just don’t have the comfort or support. Those with average sized boobies and feet can go to Primark {Read More}
Tweet When I go abroad, especially Asia I love to see what the big mainstream brands have for the customers out there – for example, the major brands almost always have a whitening range that isn’t available for the European market. Even high street brands have different ranges for the brand. I spotted this cheap and cheerful lip balm from Maybelline which I don’t think is out in the UK? This is a natural lip balm with orange peel, and {Read More}
Tweet I am having a blogging “catch up” week this week ladies! My weekends have been so full that I have no time to take photos of the new items I’ve been testing but luckily I have a back log of things to post about! Whilst on Holiday I took a few lipsticks with me – all new – not too many because in the heat who can be bothered doing a full face of make up!? I hauled MAC {Read More}
