I ended up taking advantage of the 3 for 2 by purchasing an eyeshadow palette and a Super Liner, as I love sponge tipped liquid liners. I was surprised by how {Read More}

Yes {Read More}
Tweet The other day, Mr Candy said to me, “I know you know.” “You know what?” “I know about your….hauls.” He said to to me which such an ominous dark chill, that for a moment, I felt an icy chill.

Tweet I don’t just buy make up I don’t need! – I love to buy gifts for people and crafty arty things. Anyway this some random bits I bought this week. I had a hellish trip to Primark at lunchtime this week. It was awful. The Primark crowd is an unusual one; a mixture of nutters, students, the unemployed* and bizarrely enough, mothers with several children who feel the need to bring their kids to the busiest shop in town {Read More}
