Tweet Solone is a Taiwanese make up brand from…Taiwan, silly, and they make a rather popular eyeliner pencil which they call the “Solone Gel Line Smoody Pencil”. This pencil is waterproof, it can be blended and used as an eyeshadow or liner. They also happen to be quite inexpensive so I picked up three from eBay for around £14 including shipping which is about the price of one high end eyeliner (ie. MAC, Urban Decay etc.): They’re nicely packaged too {Read More}
Tweet Spring make up collections tend to be somewhat pastel based and shimmery; this is fine if you like pastel based and shimmer but sometimes these colours can feel quite – to quite my 12 year old cousin – blah. My first thoughts when seeing the Estée Lauder Pretty Naughty Five Colour Eyeshadow Palette was not ‘blah’, rather ‘eh?’. The limited edition palette from Estée Lauder from the ‘Pretty Naughty’ collection is very playful but also quite unusual in its compilation… Here {Read More}
Tweet The Urban Decay ‘Naked’ franchise (if I can call it that) is getting bigger and more comprehensive year by year, and now they have created a lightweight foundation, the ‘Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid’ base. It comes in a very sleek looking tall bottle: There is 30ml of foundation in this bottle and it comes in 18 shades, which seems to cover very fair to dark skins. The number system with a point 5 indicates a rosy tone and the {Read More}
Tweet I am a huge huge fan of cream eyeshadows, although I am quite specific about the types I like…quite runny and shimmery, jelly like, or rich creams. Maybelline’s Eye Studio Color (using the spelling on their packaging) Tattoo Cream Eyeshadows have been out of my radar for a long time because they had a texture I don’t usually like; somewhat thin and quite solid. Then I was sent a few colours to try; quite a neutral selection which piqued {Read More}
Tweet After the hectic year that has just passed, I was very much ready for a bit of a pampering session. Luckily, being a beauty blogger has it’s perks, and I was booked into Cottons Hotel & Spa based in Knutsford for a pampering day. The pampering day included a light lunch, use of the facilities and an hour long treatment. Cottons Hotel is based in the North West and is a rather scenic, full of green fields and er, {Read More}
Tweet Dita Von Teese’s make up collection with Art Deco is a collection of neutral eyeshadows and red lips – what else right? This is the Dita look! She says “The truth is that I‘m quite an ordinary looking girl. When I was a little girl, I remember watching classic Hollywood films from the 40s and noticing that these glorious women were painted that way. Glamour is about of creation, and any woman who desires it can learn to create {Read More}
Tweet I have heard some good things about Giovanni’s hair care range. The products are supposed to be eco friendly and do not contains SLS or paragons. I purchase two of the products to try out – the Tea Tree Triple Treat shampoo as this is for dry, flaking scalp like mine and the Smooth as Silk conditioner which is moisturising. Here are the products – they look like slabs: The range looks quite ok even if the bottle shape {Read More}
Tweet Some people prefer lipsticks, some people prefer lip glosses. I am a lover of all lip products so I am easy…but one thing that eludes me is a truly wearable matte lipstick. As a bearer of naturally dry lips, I do struggle with finding a suitable long wearing or/and matte lip product. Everything dries them out. Enter the Burberry Lip Velvet Longwear Lipstick… They say: Burberry innovation brings a new finish for lips: a velvety matte radiance, inspired by {Read More}
