Tweet Today I need some colour. My face needs some oomph. Lancome’s L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick in Rouge Preciosa is on my lips and is got a stunning texture, SPF 12 and Pro-Xylane. I don’t know what that is, but I like it! It looks darker in the tube than it does on my lips… I am just having one of those weeks I’m afraid, if my sombre tone comes across in posts, then please accept my virtual Chocolate doughnuts (what, {Read More}

Tweet Oooh er.

FOTD: Clinique Black Tie Violet / Tuxedo Plums Look

Tweet So this Clinique collection has been out forever, but I finally picked up some pieces to play with. I find the silver Clinique packaging very comforting – I think because its stayed the same forever and reminds me my mothers lipstick and compacts. For the lips, I got Different Lipstick in A Different Grape and Full Potential Lipgloss in Bloomberry: Shimmering Stripe Blusher in Tuxedo Plum: Colour Surge Eye Shadow Quad in Plum Seduction and Brush on Cream Liner {Read More}

My Halloween Look 2009

Tweet Happy Halloween! Did you have a good one? I’m afraid I completely avoided the glow in the dark fangs and plastic pumpkin buckets this year, as I was, for once in my life, not babysitting – readers, I was ditched by a 9 year old. She had other plans. That said, who needs a snotty, nit-infested brat to have fun on ghoul night anyway? (bitter? moi?). Here is the look I did on Halloween which did not quite turn {Read More}

EOTD: Too Faced French & Fabulous Palette

Tweet Pink & Black on the eyes – quite wearable really and great with dark hair: What palette did I use?

Recessionista Face: The £25 Face with Boots No. 17

Tweet So I have been getting quite a few emails from readers who want me to look at more affordable make up. Its a fair request – the lady (that’s me) does have rather expensive tastes in make up but of course, we all have different priorities and make up is unlikely to be near the top if you have bills to pay, kids to look after etc. etc. So I am doing a series of face looks for £25 {Read More}

FOTD: Inspired Snow Leopard

Tweet Snow Leopard, come to mama! At just £25 to upgrade, the latest OS X operating system is a little bit of a rip off seeing as I a. Got Leopard as a gift at Xmas, costing £80 and b. People in the US are paying $29 for it. That makes me think it should be more like £18 in the UK, not £25. But I digress. Snow Leopards aren’t actually very white, more light grey and creamy! Here is {Read More}

Haul: Nars Autumn Collection Silk Road & Mekong & FOTD

Tweet I went down to Nars on my lunch the other day to look at the new collection – and its pretty nice. I came away with two items, Silk Road Duo and Mekong Single Eyeshadow. I also got some gossip about upcoming Nars goodies, the new foundations in matte and satin (which have already been reported around the web), new Mascaras, Liquid felt tip liners and new multiple highlighter (hurrah!). The Christmas collections also sound fab – mini multiples?! {Read More}
