Tweet Ed Hardy?! Ed Hardy?! I know, I’m not the first person you think of when you hear the words Ed Hardy but I wanted to share with you this gift which is for my 15 year old cousin. Teens LOVE Ed Hardy, it seems. There are two variations to this scent, in the pink tube and the black tube. I do think the packaging is pretty funky. The scent, to my largely unrefined nose smells quite fresh, fruity, like {Read More}
You’ve gotta have a lipstick called Santa – By Cosmetics a la Carte
December 15, 2009 by
Tweet Whats the perfect name for a Christmas Red Lipstick? Of course its SANTA! I like Cosmetics A La Carte a lot, although its not the easiest brand for me to see (they do have an online store though…). They tout this lipstick as a sheer, wearable red for the festive season: It looks quite dark in the tube, but it is indeed sheerer once applied but not “sheer” if that makes sense. It feels quite rich, it needs a {Read More}
Estee Lauder Ultimate Red Collection Christmas 2009
December 15, 2009 by
Tweet Do you know what we need for Christmas? A bit of old school glamour, and Estee Lauder’s Ultimate Red collection is kinda what I was looking for: The key is, I suppose, getting these products and making them look wearable for the day and looking youthful too. There are two variations, Gold Opulence (what I have) and Lavish Plum: At first glance, its not not so ‘gold- there’s one gold but the warm reddish brown and black aren’t necessarily {Read More}

Gift Idea: Velvet Noir Jewellery is rather lovely
December 10, 2009 by
Tweet The problem with gift hunting is that sometimes one can end up with things for ones-self. This has been happening a little bit too often, and I ended up with some nice bits from Velvet Noir! I love turquoise. Its my favourite stone by far and this necklace (Tauri! It has a name!) also has Black Onyx, White Jade, Carnellian. (£26.99) My taste when it comes to jewellery is really really simple stuff although I do admire girls who {Read More}
Gift Idea: Hello Kitty Purfume and Purse Set
December 10, 2009 by
Tweet I love Hello Kitty, and I feel the need to enforce this love onto other people, especially small children so this was my gift choice for my cousin, aged 9: Do you know which perfume she really wanted? J’adore Dior! No chance, kiddo! This is far more suitable in terms of price (£12) and just general cuteness. You get a little bottle of scent and a cute purse to go with it. It smelt quite sweet to me (as {Read More}
Christmas Gift Idea: Antique Hair Clip from Ebuni!
December 8, 2009 by

Enough sparkle for the day to not look OTT. I am trying to {Read More}
