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. The brand uses the term ‘exotic’, and by that, they are meaning Asian (which in the UK tends to refer to Indian and Pakistani races), Middle/Far-Eastern or Mediterranean complexions. We are talking about quite a specific colour group, from golden {Read More}
Tweet When someone says Victorinox the first thing you think of is Swiss army knives, right? I purchased one for Mr C once, and he still uses it all the time now for various tasks…you never know when you’ll need something sharp! I was surprised to find out that the brand also has a range of fragrances. Victoria Eau Du Toilette is; Swiss Army Victoria expresses the personality of a modern woman, endowed with an innate sense of casual chic. It {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}
Tweet Released as a Limited Edition Lipstick earlier this year, Estee Lauder’s Pure Colour Sheer Matte Lipstick came in four shades and in a long slender tube, housing a lipstick of contraditions; it is both matte and sheer. Usually Sheer lipsticks are glossy, Matte lipsticks are full coverage. Does sheer and matte actually work? Here is the pretty lipstick! I have the shade Rebel which is a pretty slightly frosty medium pink. They say: Lightweight creamy lipstick with a {Read More}
Tweet Some people just love their nude lip shades and I am one of those highly dedicated to beige. But times change – I no longer frequently wear deathly nudes that fade into my skintone…no…if one is to do nude it must have some pigment, it must be flattering and juicy. I have been looking for a Sofia Vergara (from Modern Family!) nude for a while. She rocks browny nudes to well. Then I get this beautiful lipstick from Mii {Read More}
