I have heard so much about Glossier, that I found it impossible to avoid hauling a few more products! I bought 4 items from the website recently: I decided to try one of their lip balms (they have different scents and shades), in Coconut (£10), Perfecting Skin Tint in Dark (£20), Stretch Concealer in Dark […]
After months of months of hearing all about Glossier, the range finally landed on UK shores via their own snazzy website and I decided to make a few purchases to try out. The philosophy behind Glossier is a beauty that celebrates ‘real girls, real life’ – because that is fun and easy, imperfect and personal. […]
Stila’s Aqua Glow Serum Foundation (£34.50) and matching concealer (£19) boasts a weightless glowing finish in a super light texture. I haven’t tried a Stila base in a while but I love a new foundation – this formula is quite different to my usual BB or Cream textures in that is is quite a watery […]
There was a time you know, not that long ago, when it was quite hard to find an under eye illuminating concealer type thing that was any where near as good as Touche Eclat – but of course these days, everyone does an illuminating pen and many have superseeded good old Touch Eclat (although I […]
I quite like Shiseido Integrate – the brand is underrated really, as they have some brilliant mascara and base products but in the sea of much louder Japanese brands, it gets lost. I recently purchased this product which is both an eye base and concealer to save time. I am quite lazy using concealer and I […]
RMK is one of my top 5 beauty brands although I must admit in recent years, I haven’t used the range as much as I’d like, although their creamy foundation is always in my ‘current’ use box – it’s a spectacular foundation for normal/dry skin types. As I’ve not used any RMK for a […]
Some beauty products are so iconic that they are just permanently scorched on to our brains, as we all know what they are without even realising it. TOUCHE ECLAT; we all know what that is don’t we? Click, click, the magic highlighting pen. I remember buying one years ago on a student budget and being […]
There are definitely advantages to having a dedicated under eye concealer; lighter texture, light reflecting properties, hydrating qualities etc. I am partial to a liquid concealer (I love Nars, Jill Stuart, Origins in particular) but they are for my facial blemishes. I was pleased to try this eye concealer from luxe brand, Sisley, which is especially made for […]
I was alerted to hoards of amazing Becca make up on Fragrance Direct (a discount beauty site) by Lipglossiping – I am a HUGE Becca fan although I do find the products are obviously quite pricey. However, I used to buy the odd thing from Zuneta when there were sales going on. I have wanted to […]
I have recently got into mineral make up again – I guess because my lifestyle has changed, and I do spend much more time indoors I don’t want to go over the top with make up, but want to feel a little bit more put together day to day with as little effort as possible, […]
Jill Stuart is such an irresistible brand for me, even though I can’t say that I have brilliant experiences with their products – I barely use any of the powder foundations i have from their brand (and they ain’t cheap!). I just love the packaging and scent of the products though and well…I guess I […]
I am having the least sleep and rest EVER, and it might have something to do with a little butterball! Anyway I am noticing dark circles, fine lines and dark circles appearing extra fast. Whilst I try and find an super charged eye cream, I am also all about the concealing at the moment. […]
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 […]
My concealer search hasn’t ended although I have now discovered I really like cream textures for covering most things; under the eyes and blemishes. I was actually swayed by the cuteness of this K-Palette product – it has a funny little name, Okuma Cover Control Concealer and is made for the under eye area: It […]
I used to think that bareMinerals was all about the powder foundation and nothing else, until recently – their range actually encompasses a variety of skincare, colour products and kits which come in a variety of textures! Now – I am addicted to base products like foundation and concealer – I love concealer! So was […]
Ever end up buying two of something and not realising until it’s too late?! Well this is what happened to me and this Kevin Beautymaker compact – I bought one then got another in the post (blog sale ahoy!). Apart from this annoyance and my obvious lack of memory, this little palette from Kevin […]
Inika Cosmetics has an interesting back story; the founder Miranda Bond struggled with endometriosis and thought shouldn’t wouldn’t be able to conceive naturally. She decided to change things in her lifestyle, like her diet (very important of course) and eliminating products that contain potentially harmful chemicals that can be found in cosmetics. Once she began […]
I’ve heard many a good thing about Guerlain’s Lingerie De Peau liquid foundation, so was excited to try their Lingerie De Peau Compact Foundation which is the carry round, quick use base. I do have a thing for compact foundations, as you may have noticed; I love on the go products. This palette is quite […]
So the last time I was down in London I spent a lot of time in the Mary Quant shop and ended up with some really cool products! One of the items I had on my hit list was their Eye Gloss. Eye Gloss? Who remembers Calvin Klein’s make up range and how they had […]
Benefit has some classic make up products – I mean, so classic they’re ingrained into our beauty brains; Benetint….Hoola…Bad Gal etc. Whilst their products don’t always for work me, there’s no doubting that they are highly innovative, always creative and lead where other brands end up copying (the product and the packaging). Wow, that sounds […]
