Tweet Regulars may know that I love eyeliner; pencil liner, gel liner, liquid liner, I love them all. Liquid liner, is always that little bit more fiddly than a pencil liner but I love how it makes any look ‘chic’ instantly. My favourite type of eyeliner is the refillable pen sort. Shu Uemura, Shiseido, Aube Couture, Maquillage – various brands make these. Second favourite is the none refillable pen sort. I’ll go into more details about these later but they {Read More}
Tweet I popped into Benefit Covent Garden for a brow wax with Mr Darren Seale, waxing expert and in the process roped in Mr C (he was lucky, it could’ve been a sack and crack). I’ve never been into the Benefit boutique before and it’s kinda cute, and the brow bar is well equipped with the necessary tools; wax, dye, steriliser! The boutique:
Tweet Mod Squad is an uber nude retro shade, a pale pale pink: I have to admit I am a sucker for this kind of shade even though it’s a difficult colour to wear. I love it though! What do you think? Too nude?

Tweet Benefit full finish lipstick in Pinking of You is a nude, shimmer free pale colour. It works out to be quite a creamy nude pink on me, quite wearable although you need a few coats to get even coverage: I imagine on a fairer girl the pink would be richer toned. What do you think of this shade?
Tweet Pinking Of You wouldn’t be my first choice of the Benefit pink – it’s sort of a sorbet pink, the kind of shade I imagine would look gorgeous on blondes but fade into nothing on me. Actually it’s not bad, and more pigmented than I expected – I wouldn’t call it full finish though, whilst it’s creamy it’s not opaque like say, YSL Rouge Volupte which is very full finish… It’s sort of an orange pink! What do you {Read More}
