Tweet Stila was such a huge brand crush for me all those years ago when it first launched in the UK. I remember going to Selfridges with my friend and worshipping over the lip glazes – since we were both students then there as no way we could afford £20 for a lip gloss. Now that Stila has been relaunched in the UK I till feel nostalgia when I see a convertible colour or a lip glaze. They recently released {Read More}
Tweet Hurrah! So I got my paws on my own Urban Decay Build Your Own Palette (£14 – for the tin, brush and a neutral matte eyeshadow called Walk of Shame, exclusive to the palette). There’s space in here for 6 colours in total. The tin is not really compact enough to take out with you day to day I think, but it’s not big and cumbersome either (I’d happily take it out for a weekend away for example) {Read More}
Tweet You know I love building my own palettes, and I love it when a company offers the option of putting solo shadows into one place! Urban Decay recently launched their own Build Your Own Palette system which has room for 6 full size eyeshadows in a tin. I’ll review the one I was sent next – but meanwhile, check out the colour selection! My head was spinning when I saw these shades – I recognised a lot of {Read More}
Tweet A few weeks ago I went to Cheshire Oaks, which is a “Outlet Village” – ie. there’s a load of discount stores in one place. To be honest it was pretty rubbish because places like that always depends on the time of year and what the mainstream stores are getting rid off, plus, with there being so many sales on the high street, you don’t necessarily notice much of a discount. So generally…it was a sucky day. However! I {Read More}
Tweet A little while ago I did a haul on Adambeauty.com for some Esprique make up! Esprique is a Japanese brand, and used to be Esprique Precious before it was upgraded to a sleeker, black look. The range is in the mid-high price range and is aimed at older women (as in not teenagers) but they’re not boring either! I bought an eyeshadow palette (Blend Dimensional Eyes Deep) in B-3 which is an unusual pink brown palette and a Mellow {Read More}
Tweet Months ago, a lovely reader helped me purchase this chocolate eyeshadow palette from Kiss (a Japanese brand) called the Glamourize Shadow. There are 4 shades in the compact and they colours are very natural. I’ve been totally into nude eyeshadow palettes lately, I just like the natural glow at the moment.
Tweet I’ve recently really got into neutral eye looks; maybe because it’s just easier to apply and is great for work. Thus I have acquired (as you will see) a number of neutral eyeshadow palettes! The thing about Japanese palettes is that they are always shimmery and slightly sheer. It’s nice to have some mattes and some bolds in a palette especially when you have a whopping 5 colours to choose from. I purchased Visee’s newest collection, Meets Blondy (I {Read More}
Tweet Regular readers will know I love making my own palettes so I asked for this Vidi Vici Lunch Box Quad palette (empty) and 4 refills. You can actually refill this with eyeshadows, blush, eyebrow colour, shader, lip colours – it’s very flexible. I was boring and went for 4 eyeshadows as I knew I wouldn’t bother using a brow powder, lip colours etc. Now, this Lunch Box palette also comes in a 2 pan (soon to be discontinued) and {Read More}
