Tweet When it comes to make up brushes, I invested young and I invested wisely. My first brushes were The Body Shop (the old style ones with a wooden handle) which were a bit lame (newer ones much better). Then I went straight on to Shu Uemura Kolinsky Eyeshadow Brush no. 15 for £160 and never looked back. These days I have a MASSIVE make up brush collection, with some amazing brushes that have lasted. I do not, ever, just {Read More}
Beauty Invention: Nail Protectors for the klutz in you
July 6, 2009 by
Tweet There’s nothing better than a good old bizarre strange Asian invention – so when I saw these nail protectors on eBay I just had to buy them: I am a complete novice when it comes to nail application. I can’t stay still long enough for the damn thing to dry so it always smudges, then I can’t stand it and it all comes off again. So these clips go on over the freshly painted nail to keep it protected: {Read More}
Quick Beauty Tip: Where to get storage pots for pigment
July 1, 2009 by
Tweet I hate dealing with pigments on a day to day basis – they get everywhere but the best way to carry or use my many many loose powder shadows is to put them into those stackable pots. However – I was shocked when they charged me a whopping £4.60 for a 6 tier stackable – its EMPTY for christssake! Talk about taking advantage. Muji and Chemists also sell the empty stackable but I find them too deep – I {Read More}

Tweet Do you trim your brows? A lady on Shu Uemura showed me a few years ago, now I always do a little trim to keep them need. Most of the time, all you need is a trim, not a tweeze.

Tweet I have a quite a lot of work to do, many words to churn out and what does a good procrastinator do? Finds things to melt into palettes! I have had a few empty palettes lying around for a while now I was intending to make into useful palettes. My Nars Multiples have lasted FOREVER.

Review: The Pro Make Up Shop Disposable Mascara Wands
June 10, 2009 by
Tweet I was completely intrigued when I saw The Pro Make Up Shops range of disposable mascara wands. The Pro Make Up Shops range is different because they are different sizes and shapes! Make up counters and artists should always use a disposable brush when doing your make up – always. If they don’t do not let them touch your precious eyes! Now I don’t share mascara with anyone but it didn’t stop be trying some of these out. If {Read More}
Make Up Brushes dirty? Try an Colourfull Arts Brush Cleaner and Preserver!
June 7, 2009 by
Tweet I hate cleaning my make up brushes. I have a ton of them and I normally wait till they are encrusted with blue sparkly dust before giving them a good clean. I use random things to clean my brushes including: 1. Baby shampoo (good for a deep cleanse, takes ages to dry) 2. Isopropyl Alcohol (kills germs, dries really quickly, good for quick changes but can be drying long term) 3. Branded cleansers like Clinique, MAC, Shu Uemura, Bare {Read More}
