Tweet A few weeks ago I went to Cheshire Oaks, which is a “Outlet Village” – ie. there’s a load of discount stores in one place. To be honest it was pretty rubbish because places like that always depends on the time of year and what the mainstream stores are getting rid off, plus, with there being so many sales on the high street, you don’t necessarily notice much of a discount. So generally…it was a sucky day. However! I {Read More}
Tweet It’s funny how you can love a brand then you sort of forget about them? It’s like that with Shu Uemura. I’m not tempted by any of their new releases at all – why is that? Their Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine lipsticks are though – completely gorgeous but absolutely not faultless. Annoying, eh? Still a week or so ago I treated myself to a new lipstick from the collection (and I forgot what other shades I had so had {Read More}
Tweet It was Marina from Makeupforall who I first saw mention that Revlon Moon Drops lipstick (not out in the UK) in Persian Melon 585 was used in the American TV series, Pan Am. Marina’s post about beauty inspired by the series is here. Pan Am is a series about the Air Hostesses who work for the once illustrious airline…I admit I saw 3 shows and it wasn’t for me – beautiful to look at but somewhat lacking is substance. {Read More}
Tweet See the first full review of Too Faced Exotic Color Intense Eyeshadow here! There are some lighter shades in the Exotic Color range, which is interesting because I don’t really think of pale hues as ‘intense’. I guess it makes sense to mix it up though. Firefly is a pale cream which has tons and tons of sparkles and shimmers: See how densely packed in the glitter is?!
Tweet I quite like Too Faced although as brand, I feel like they’ve disappeared off my radar for quite a while. I just don’t seem to see the products on my favourite blogs very often, or in magazines so I don’t really know what their new launches are. I spotted a super pretty eyeshadow of theirs on ASOS called Cop-a-Teal, but it wasn’t on sale. Some eBaying led me to a seller who had the whole range of Exotic Color {Read More}
Tweet One beauty skill I wish I have is the ability to apply fake lashes well. Some girls just seem to know where to ‘pop’ it on and it looks fantastic! I tend to stick it…then wiggle…then I look in a different mirror and it just looks odd or is totally a mile away from my lash line. Why won’t it just look straight!! I was sent a pack of Lashaholic Addictive Glamour lashes to try. I asked for a {Read More}
Tweet When I was on holiday in Budapest, I picked up tons of cheap make up from the pharmacies over there. One of the brands I saw was called Essence – I don’t think I’ve seen this brand in the UK before but I think it’s sold in Ireland and across Europe. It’s an English language brand and quite a funky young one (reminds me of Miss Sporty) and there’s a big variety of items, especially for nails. I am {Read More}
Tweet Remember when the original big Lip Scrub was Sara Happs rather overpriced range? I bought into it, then realised it was just SUGAR, people, SUGAR. Since then I’ve decided that I like Bliss’ lip scrub a lot, but not LUSH’s which reminds me of the same feeling I get when I’ve pushed a doughnut it my mouth, and my lips are covered in dry sugar. (By the way, here’s my very old guide on how to make a lip {Read More}
