Coffee, sweet elixir of life. I could drink it all day every day. Someone told me recently that drinking a cup of coffee at 10pm was madness, but that’s me. I just adore the taste. Now, Coffee is not just for drinking! I’ve been seeing lots of coffee scrubs around so was excited to try […]
Kaeng Raeng is an American brand is a beauty and healthcare range which has a lot of things I really like the sound of; the products are cruelty free, gluten free, colour free, soy free, non-gmo etc. And they really are effective and lovely to use. There are currently two new(ish) facial skincare products! […]
I recently got my hair highlighted again (although very subtly – I saw what was happening to the girl next to me and immediately aborted the ideas I had in my head for an ombre) but because they didn’t tone it it looksd orange almost immediately. Thank god I now know how to fix the […]
3CE is the cosmetic brand from Korean Fashion brand Stylenande – their stuff is similar to the Urban Outfitters vibe, quite youthful and trendy. Their make up collection is fairly large now, and the imagery is amazing – for example one lipstick will have 10 photographs showing how it looks on the model. Who else […]
Kiss Me Heroine Make makes one my favourite mascaras – their formula is brilliant for straight, short Asian lashes that refuse to hold curl with most mascaras. I have also tried their ‘Super Film’ mascara which is removable with warm water (it was rubbish). But there is a big problem with this mascara, and that […]
Jo Malone’s Black Cedarwood and Juniper was originally part of the London Rain collection that launched in March 2014. The particular fragrance evokes the sense of midnight London showers. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I often down with the darker less obvious fragrances like this, but I’ve really been enjoying using this […]
I have a rather large collection of make up brushes, ergo, I don’t buy brushes randomly any more unless I think something looks interesting for fulfils a need (for example I recently purchased a square shaped lip brush because I was missing one in my collection!). Having said that it’s always fun to find a […]
Kim Kardashian and indeed the whole Kardashian family are quite controversial figures; at this moment in time completely saturate a lot of Western media and seem to have a lot of influence on current trends (particularly for teenagers!). Love her or hate her, she certainly raises a lot of areas for discussion (like her recent […]
It’s nearly Valentine’s day! So here are some affordable and fun fragrance choices for you (and the chance to win either set at the end of this post). I’ve got the Breaking Bad (yes really) Eau De Toilette gift set for super fans and also Binky’s fragrance. They say: Breaking Bad Hits you with waves […]
So time has escaped me, and before it is too late I want to mention Etude House’s Halloween 2015 offerings (yes, they even release Halloween collections!). This year there were a selection of nail polishes, lip tints and 2 eyeshadow palettes, both very worthy. Here is my little haul: Let’s start from left to right, […]
Did I tell you I am currently obsessed, OBSESSED, with all beauty things Korean, especially bright lip colours and tints because I have been watching K-Dramas and nearly all the women rock neon lips worn in an ombre style, and they manage to make it look sexy and natural too. I am obsessed! Trying a […]
Can I say the C word? Yes…it is nearly Christmas, kind of. Well, it’s November, so that means we can start thinking about Christmas and picking up the brochures and dreaming of turkey dinners. I personally love Christmas, I love all parts of it apart from forgetting to get someone a gift or getting something […]
Lauren’s Way is a beauty brand dedicated to fake tan products and general youthful glam beauty. The brand was founded by TOWIE star Lauren Goodger (I admit I don’t watch the series, and I am not much of a tanner) but still, I tried a few of the products as did my 20 year old […]
You can never have enough lipsticks – SAYS ME. Currently, I am loving matte textures (because they don’t transfer on to my rugrats) that aren’t drying and in super bright colours – why? See, I am obsessed with K-Dramas at the moment and the hot look over there that nearly every single girl sports is […]
I’ve been skincare auditing lately as I move to a more Asian style skincare routine – however my diehard favourite Western brands have made the cut and that includes quite a few products from Kiehls since it is one of the few brands that doesn’t irritate my skin at all (I will go through my […]
Anything by Suqqu is generally lush, right? Well…yes. As one of the more luxurious Japanese brands, it is consistent in quality whether it is the skincare or make up. You have to appreciate the style of make up of course; you may think their eyeshadows are quite sheer, but that is the natural but radiant […]
Floors London have recently created a Limited Edition Rose Geranium Bath Essence in support of Macmillan Cancer Support, to be launched in September 2015. The beautiful limited edition sleeve was illustrated by Marta Spendowska. This is now a cause very close to my heart and Macmillan really are a wonderful charity – it is estimated […]
I’ve had scalp woes (documented on this blog!) for a while now, mainly itchiness, flaking etc. I have managed to contain the symptoms well although I recently had a bad flare up, a result I believe of testing some cheap products (boo!). I had intense itching for days which no amount of washing stopped or […]
It’s been a while since I wrote a blog post about spotting a fake MAC lip stick – I bought Peachstock from eBay in good faith, paid a good price for it and the seller swore to me on their child’s life that it was 100% authentic so I kept it but there was always […]
If Joan Collins did make up it would look like…well, it would look like this. Gold packaging that reminds me of Estee Lauder, a classic selection of colours for dramatic or natural looks. I admit Joan Collins make up isn’t the first brand that pops so mind when looking for a fresh day to day […]
