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 incredible economical with it because it was out of my price range really, but I had to try it. Back […]
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 the under eye area. They say: This tinted concealer instantly camouflages dark circles and shadows to perfection, reduces puffiness […]
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 try all their base products together for ages – especially the Luminous Skin Colour (a sheer tinted foundation) which retails […]
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, hence I want a natural alternative. So first up then, I tried a selection of products from Pur Minerals. […]
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 just don’ give up that easily. When I spotted their new foundation and concealer release, I stumped up £80 to […]
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. I spotted this super cute set from The Face Shop and had to buy – a Bye Bye Dark Circle […]
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 UK tends to refer to Indian and Pakistani races), Middle/Far-Eastern or Mediterranean complexions. We are talking about quite a specific […]
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 comes in 3 shades - Type 1: Natural Beige for ‘tiredness’ Type 2: Yellow Beige for dullness and whitening Type […]
