Tweet The last time I used Fragrance Direct I was not a happy bunneh. But times change, and I noticed a few people tweet about bargains they found on their website. I am torn when it comes to discounted cosmetic web shops – on one hand it tends to be the end of line products, sometimes really old items or sometimes the bizarre colours that no one else wanted – but then again sometimes there are some bargains. You just {Read More}
Tweet I never really shopped much in Top Shop but the last few weeks I’ve found them really useful for comfy clothes and bought some of my holiday essentials from there. I also have a new admiration for the make up! I do quite like it, especially their polishes (I am currently wearing a Essie polish which costs £8 for my wedding day and it’s RUBBISH in comparison to Top Shop polishes, it barely lasted a day). Anyway excuse my {Read More}
Tweet KATE (a Kanebo brand) is one of the old schooler’s of Japanese drugstore cosmetics. I used to place the brand head to head with Lavshuca and there was a phase when both of the brands would release killer ranges every season but Lavshuca has been majorly disappointing of late, as has KATE. Nevertheless I picked up 3 products from their newest Spring 2012 releases. I got their dual ended eyeliner pencil which has a black liquid liner on one {Read More}
Tweet A brand I have been dying to try for a while (but is very hard to get hold of in the UK) is Vidi Vici. Vidi Vici is a high end Korean brand by make up artist Lee Kyung Min. It’s pretty expensive, up there with premium brands and has a grown up chic style it which is quite different from the cutesy Etude House, Skinfood etc. Here is what I hauled (from my aunts visit to Hong Kong {Read More}
Tweet My lovely friend in Japan helped me out with a haul – yep, about twice a year (I think!) I get this urge to try out make up from Japan which isn’t that easily available. We had a bit of a disaster with nail polish (apparently you can’t send them via airmail) but we got there in the end! I have had mixed results with Love Clover (from B&C Labs) products but I noticed their base items tend to {Read More}
Tweet I have been lusting over Mary Quant make up for a long long time having read VOCE, MAQUIA and other Japanese beauty magazines that regularly feature the range. Mary Quant used to be a British brand but the cosmetics range is now Japanese produced and is thriving in Japan. I have lots of memories when it comes to the range! I remember my mum owning a lipstick and triangular shaped blusher which was a hot, hot pink. Maybe I {Read More}
Tweet I went for a hair cut a few weeks ago (nothing special but was due a trim) and of all the things the hairdresser tried to sell to me, I just bought 2 hair brushes! One if a Paul Mitchell Brush, 413 Sculpting which she recommended to me as one for using to blow dry the hair. The second brush was unbranded but at £2.50 it was apparently a very popular back combing brush! I like both of these {Read More}
Tweet It’s another one of those random haul kinda days and at the moment I have an obsession with Matcha! Matcha is a fine grounded powdered high quality green tea and not the same as tea powder or green tea powder. If you’ve never tried Matcha before then it’s quite unusual because I think it has a creamy edge to it. I got these sachets of premade matcha lattes. It tastes like a creamy milky sweet green tea: You can {Read More}
