Tweet Tired? I know the feeling to week. I average 4 hours sleep a night, sometimes 5, sometimes 3. Don’t worry, one day I will wake up at 1pm every day, watch day time television….until that day… One must try and look less like a zombie than usual. I’ve found 4 useful, multi use, brightening products that can be used on the eyes, cheeks (some of them) and if you really must, the lips! Here are some of my current {Read More}
Tweet People are brow obsessed these days, right? Plucking, threading, brushing, trimming, tweezing…wait, that’s the same as plucking. Oh and shaving. Do you do it? Do you have your brows?! Back in the olden days, when I first realised I had big brows (teenage years of course) I found tweezing way to painful, so I shaved it with a super cheap BIC razor. The result was horrible, red rashes everywhere – urgh. Then later I used Veet hair removing cream {Read More}
Tweet Selfridges Manchester have moved their beauty floor to the basement and it’s going to be quite a relaunch! RMK will have a new counter too and to celebrate, RMK’s make up artist, Hideki Tanaka (a protege of Rumiko, the brand founder) will be in store to pass on the secrets of a ‘flawless base’. I am a HUGE fan of RMK base products – their creamy foundation is one of my favourites, always has been. Hideki will be at {Read More}
Tweet I love high intensity, pigmented lip glosses, although they can be quite unforgiving on unhealthy lips and can smudge easily. Korean Brand, The Face Shop is a brand I am currently testing out and I spotted their Extreme Rouge Glosses on eBay. These vivid lip glosses are highly pigmented, contain Argan oil and adds volume to the lips. They should also last around 6 hours! I bought 3 colours, PK101 – a bright pink, BR801, a nude beige and {Read More}
Tweet Lip Balm tart that I am, I was pretty excited to get a selection of Carmex’s newest addition to the family in the post. The Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm comes in three variations – clear, pink and peach, and is presented in a skinny stick. It’s far more handy than using a pot but what I like about these, is that they don’t lose the ‘squidgy’ quality that the post based lip balm has. Everyone knows {Read More}
Tweet Ever since I was told by my optician that I seem to have very sensitive, easily irritated eyes that were ‘full of glitter’ I have tried to take care of them. Vision is such an amazing gift, no? I think it’s the last sense that I would give up. I still spend far to long in front of the PC, I still strain my eyes when I shouldn’t but I am doing better at taking care of them. I {Read More}
Tweet By Terry is one of those brands that are super super luxe – every time I get something from the brand it feels like a naughty treat. I first spotted this purple liner on someone – it was just stunning, the hue of purple is spot on. Not to red so it looks bruise-y, but not so blue that it looks…blue. The eyeliner was this – Ligne Blackstar Intense Liquid Eyeliner Precise Tattoo – a waterproof ink eyeliner pen. {Read More}
Tweet The Body Shop Lip Roll On is a fairly new release, and is a ‘natural’, oil base lip product – it’s a lip moisturiser, a lip gloss, it’s all sorts of multi tasking usefulness-ness. It comes in 5 flavours, Berry, Coconut, Orange, Rose and Mint. I was sent 2 flavours to try, Coconut and Orange and you get 10ml per roll on: Roll on lip balms aren’t new but they aren’t that common either. I like the idea of {Read More}
