Tweet Did I ever tell you I collect Nars Multiples? Check out the tags to see my other swatches! And here is my home made Nars Multiple palette! Nars multiples are not without problems; they can be a bit oily, they used to give me spots, and they are pretty expensive at £29 each. I recently hauled G-Spot (that name!) from the counter, purely because it felt like a while since Nars released a decent multiple (not a weird highlighter {Read More}
Tweet One of my current brand crushes is Innisfree, a eco-friendly Korean brand from..well, where do you think?! They have some really interesting products, a lot of food inspired items which reminds me of Skinfood. However the Innisfree products try to be as natural as possible. I spotted this Mineral Multi Colour Blush and had to buy it – how cute?! This comes in 4 shades and I bought pink and brown, but the seller couldn’t get hold of brown {Read More}
Tweet To be honest I haven’t bought anything from Illamasqua for a while. Maybe its because it’s quite dark and brooding and I’ve been in the mood for princessy and light packaging lately! However – I was sent three products from the Illamasqua ‘Theatre of the Nameless’ collection to try. I hadn’t seen the collection so I didn’t have a clue what to expect. Nail Polish in Kink £13.50, Blusher in Ambition £16.50 and Precision Ink in Havoc.
Tweet For some reason if there’s one item of make up I forget to put on it’s blusher. I think it’s because I spend the longest time on my eyeshadow, I always use some kind of concealer or foundation – and by the time I’ve done that I don’t have much time left for anything else! These Tony Moly blushers look kinda plastic but are rather nice soft subtle shades. I bought 03 Pleasure Peach and 07 Tan – which {Read More}
Tweet To continue with the Mary Quant theme today, here is the face palette that I put together whilst I was at the shop. I picked one very pretty pressed face powder, the Face Final and two blushers in a brown and pink which fit into a Large palette (L). The face powder was about £19.50, the blushers are £14.50 and the palette was £10.50. Mary Quant also stocks loose face powder and a selection of powder foundations. The Face {Read More}
Tweet I am definitely a cream/liquid blush kinda gal, more so than a powder one because my skin is a little dry, I love the dewy glow they give. Tints are lovely too – they tend to be more sheer than cream blushers, but they do set and last for a long time, even though they are sheerer. Another advantage of tints is that they can be used on the lips without looking dry and chalky. Cosmetics a la Carte’s {Read More}
Tweet Hello Anna Sui! I remember when Anna Sui was sold in Boots the chemist. Unfortunately it was ignored, and as a result it was banished from British shores. The range can now be purchased online and the newest Anna Sui releases are delicious – gorgeously packaged, sweet smelling, pretty. I purchased two Face Accent Colors a while ago. They aren’t called ‘blushers’ you philistine – they’re ‘face colours’ presumably because they do more then make you blush?! I like {Read More}
