Tweet I made a nice haul at MAC during a recent trip to London. Because I am on a no buy now (ahem) I thought I may as well buy some bits from the In The Groove collection and some other cosmetics I’ve been meaning to try: I have to say, all the MAC SA’s I dealt with this time where friendly and helpful, unlike my usual experiences. Anyway, here’s what I bought. One of the Superglass Lip Glosses in {Read More}
Tweet My addiction to eBay has hit an all time high! Does anyone else get scour the site for random things to buy? Well I was looking for a compact way of carrying creams and foundation for when I go away on a short break, and found these cute Hello Kitty Contact Lens cases for £4 each including shipping. Its funny – when you go to Asia, there is a lot of Hello Kitty stuff, but half of it is {Read More}
Tweet Apart from loving notebooks, I also love stamps, beads, art supplies in general – including stamps! I find that handmade stamps, or the ones that come on woodblocks can be quite expensive, about £4+ each. Well during a visit to Home Bargains (a discount store in England – I LOVE it) I found these stamps: There’s a mixture of stamps – Happy Birthday, Thankyou, even Muchas Gracias! I think they’ll come in use and are rather cute. I can {Read More}
Tweet I got sucked into the Glamour magazine freebie thing and sauntered into my local newsagent, picking up three copies of Glamour at £2 each with little hassle, and in the process bagging myself a full size Benefit Eye Bright, Bad Gal Eyeliner and It Stick concealer. I also bought Red magazine which I have never read before for a free Jemma Kidd lip gloss, then later on an Elle magazine for a free leopard print bag: Can I just {Read More}
Tweet Bobbi Brown’s Color Strips Limited Edition release kind of passed me by, until I saw some snazzy visuals. The Color Strips collection is somewhat customizable…you select an eyeshadow strip then a pot rouge strip to put into the palette. The total cost for the two strips and case (£19 + £16 + £5) becomes £40 which is the average price for a Bobbi Brown Palette. The eyeshadow choices are Bonfire: Orchid: Aquamarine: Petal: There are two choices for the {Read More}
I was actually shopping on Strapya World – an online Japanese bric-a-brac store which looks like its on acid – for some gems and sticky things to do a customisation tutorial… But I also ended up with these cool bits! Kikis Delivery Service mini stamp set, and a Hello Kitty Security Stamp. If you don’t know what Kiki’s Delivery Service is, its an animation written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The stamps…lots of Gigi (the cat)!
I wanted these two babies the first time I laid my eyes on them! Visee Japan’s latest offering is these snazzily cased Brilliance Forming Eyes. I like Visee eyeshadows – don’t love. These two are extremely cute: The one in the blue case is A-6 and the pink eyeshadow is A-7. The pattern engrained on the top of the eyeshadows is cute…but not, I-musn’t-touch pretty which is a good thing otherwise this would be sat in my bottom drawer….forever….. The {Read More}
I had a hair consultation recently with Melissa from Stone Bridge (more on that later) and the lady I spoke to recommended Mason Pearson Hair Brushes and good old Kent. She also recommended Nylon Bristles over Bristled ones (I’ve always hated them anyway – how are they supposed to get through knots?!). I took this as an invitation to buy a new Mason Pearson Hair Brush with Nylon Bristles! The box is gorgeous – how am I supposed to bring {Read More}
