Tweet I am not the biggest fan of face powders in general – I hate anything that looks cakey on the face and sometimes, I find it can make my dry patches look worse. If I had to use any powder, then I prefer Chanel for loose powder and MAC Careblend Powder (pressed) is also excellent. For my wedding I used a completely different powder though! Sisley’s Phyto-Poudre Compacte comes in 3 variations: 00 – Irisee – (Satin finish) 01 {Read More}
Tweet I am a massive fan of eyeliners, and I do love liquid liners especially in funky colours! I purchased these Etude House Proof 10 liquid eyeliners before my holiday as I wanted something that would hold up in the hot weather. Etude House’s Proof 10 range is a waterproof collection – I’ve tried a number of their products like the mascara and liquid liner (old version) which is fine, the eye primer and stain. These liquid liners are new: {Read More}
Tweet “Just buy the cheapest one” Mr C said. Ok, he didn’t say this. I did. Regarding Sun Cream. A visit to home bargains, £15 lighter and 3 bottles of Calypso sun cream and after sun later, we thought we’d got a bargain. Don’t get me wrong – Calypso no doubt is a great budget brand and other people have told me good things about the range. But for me and Mr C, we both broke out badly after {Read More}
Tweet Everyone has heard of good old E45 cream, the plain super moisturising thick cream for all kinds of sensitive skin; I have many a time complained about a skin ailment only to be told ‘Have you tried E45 for that?’. Anyway, the E45 range is actually quite large and there are shampoos and body lotions too! I was sent 3 of them to try: Each of the body lotions do different things…
Tweet I am addicted to pencil eyeliners – I really am. Even if I don’t do eyeshadow, I will do a bit of eyeliner just to perk up the eye. I am obsessed with creamy gel type pencil liners because they are so easy to use! Korean brands are always releasing new ones that tempt me (I have lots of other ones to review!). Holika Holika have released these Jewel Light Waterproof Eyeliners – I have purchased their old eyeliners {Read More}

Tweet Without even realising it, I have tried quite a few Bourjois foundations! I have tried: Bourjois Bio Detox, Flower Foundation, 123 Perfect, Mineral Matte, Sleep Effect…lots of them! I haven’t, until now, tried one of the best selling and most popular Bourjois bases – Healthy Mix! I purchased this when there was a 3 for 2 at Superdrug: I was choosing between this foundation and the Healthy Mix Serum, which is the newer version. Apparently the serum is better for oily {Read More}
Tweet Bourjois’s newest foundation release is 123 Perfect, which I happened to spot when I was last in Boots – I didn’t hear about it online which suggests it was released with very little fanfare! When it comes to high street/ drugstore level foundation, Bourjois is one of the few brands I would buy and use – I mean I buff foundation into my face every day and I do prefer the higher end premium bases because I don’t like {Read More}
