Tweet I really can’t resist a nice lipstick…maybe it’s because if you find a great one, it’s an instant perker-uper, maybe that’s why I can always be tempted by a new colour or formula. When it comes to Asian brands, the general consensus is that they are glossy, sheer and with sometimes creamy. Even when a lipstick has a word in it’s title like ‘deep’ implying rich colour, the lipstick may still be very much a sheer! These {Read More}
Tweet You guys know that I am obsessed with pencil eyeliner, right? I recently discovered theTaiwan produced brand ‘Solone’ known for their best selling long lasting eyeliners – full review here. I liked the eyeliner enough to purchase more colours… So here are just some swatched and quick thoughts…
Tweet My memory of the Hard Candy brand is the multitude of nail polish colours they stocked a Boots which came with a free plastic ring. Even back then they cost nearly £10 each, and I remember talking to school friends and confirming who had a rich dad..’But she’s got 4 of those Hard Candy rings!’. Hard Candy is no more in the UK but it lives on in the US! When I saw this Megawatt Smile Lipstick being recommended {Read More}
Tweet EX1 Cosmetics is a range of make up created by Farah Naz, who is British Asian, and wanted to create a range of products suitable for ‘exotic’ skintones after being frustrated at what the high street had to offer.

We are talking about quite a specific colour group, from golden {Read More}
Tweet My final instalment of the Aveda Art of Nature collection is all about the lips lips lips! Once again I’ve never really used Aveda lip colour products before. I have the Nourish Mint in Melochia Bloom Lipstick (914-Sheer), Nourish-Mint Lip Liner in Barberry Bloom Lip Pencil, Nourishing Mint Rehydrating Lip Glaze in Kukui – all of these formulas are Limited Edition. What I found interesting about these products is that they’re not necessarily complimentary, although you can use them {Read More}
Tweet The blusher or face colour released with the Art of Nature palette is this rather bold number, called Hibiscus. This Petal Essence Face Accent (there are other colours in the range) comprises of three shades to ‘highlight, flush or blush’. Hibiscus has a pearly light pink, a rose and a bright reddish coral. It’s gorgeous to look at, but part of you thinks…how can I wear this!? Well, read on…
Tweet I usually try and maintain some kind of system when it comes to reviews, almost a one in one out thing so that I can work through the piles of products in a democratic order. However, sometimes I get something that I like so much I have to push it to the front of the queue…no…this review simply cannot wait. Aveda’s Art of Nature collection for Spring 2013 is a mixture of pastels and brights, 14 products in {Read More}
Tweet Edward Bess is a brand I have heard lots of positive things about but had not yet got round to testing (I bought some lipsticks in their old packaging to try but surprise surprise, I’ve not had a chance to use them yet!) so it was a nice treat to get one of their Deep Shine Lip Glosses in a little goody box I was given. They say; This light capturing lip gloss has a unique formula which delivers {Read More}
