Tweet On June the 4th, RMK will launch their new range of eyeshadows (35 shades) divided up into 5 categories, Shiny (shimmery), Metallic (highly shimmery with glitter particles), Pearl (Iridescent texture) Brown and Dark (two I didn’t get a chance to try). There will also be 8 new cream (or jelly eyes) eyeshadows, 6 Jelly cheek blushers and 23 pearl and matte blushers. The blushers are no longer in square pans, but in rectangular ones with a brush. I had {Read More}
Tweet Oooh my exciting parcel arrived! Three Cle De Peau Extra Silky Lipstick and blush: The blush didn’t swatch very well but it is lush on – blends dreamily, looks like a bronzer but also works as a blush as the colour is dewy, soft. This is 120, 121 and 122: The nicest lipstick in the WORLD, with a price tag to match. Will do proper swatches later but these seem pretty sheer to me. My favourite haul of the {Read More}
Tweet UPDATE: You can buy TheBalm in the UK from Zuneta. I am new to TheBalm – a cute retroey San Francisco brand which is new to the UK. You know what it reminds me of – Benefit! I don’t mind Benefit but I can’t say anything they have released lately has won me over either. When I saw TheBalm I was concerned it would be all style, no substance. I got three products, Hot Mama Blush, Pick Up Pencils {Read More}
Tweet No, I don’t work for Illamasqua. Nevertheless, incase you haven’t noticed, I’ve become very enamoured with the brand. I have three powder blushes so far and they are GORGEOUS, and practical if I don’t say so myself. What do we have here? The perfect pink, the perfect peach and the perfect brown. Woah, chipolata, that’s bright. Reminds you of Nars Taj Mahal? Or MAC Manish Devil? Me too. Excite is completely matte though and can pass as a peach, {Read More}
Tweet I seem to be unable to resist Illamasqua at the moment. Here is another haul: Gimp (pure matte black) and Fatal (deep matte purple): I was concerned about how so many of the shadows from Illamasqua are matte. I asked Leena, who is a senior artist on Illamasqua in Manchester and she said the creator, Alex Box wanted to create a range that was suitable for all age ranges. Older people or anyone with overly crepey eyes can struggle {Read More}
Tweet A reader was asking me if Hello Kitty Fun and Games was similar to Nars Gina (or different enough to warrant a purchase) so here is a belated comparison: Yeah, Nars packaging always gets dusty. So irritating. I noticed from my even older Nars stuff, it’s got sticky and some of the packaging bubbles and peels off! On the left is Gina and on the right is Fun and Games. As you can see, Gina is deeper in colour, {Read More}
Tweet I have no idea why I bought these blushers, other than the fact that I like the squeezy tubes they come in. It’s art baby, I’m an artist. I love cream/liquid shadows and blushers but I can’t think of one liquid blush I like. Too sheer most of the time, not a nice enough range of shades. I have the Albion liquid blushes – expensive and very “meh”. I disliked Benetint and Positint even more – I tried it {Read More}
Tweet Okey so I went to one of my favourite counters which is Nars – my usual MA was not there so I got acquainted with a new member of staff. I was playing with the colours when I dabbed a bit of this duo, Surabaya: Looks like a standard brown in this photo but in real life, it gives the most gorgeous, rich, chestnut and sugary brown shade with tons of micro sparkles. To keep the sparkles though you {Read More}
