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 […]
A few weeks ago I told you about the Konjac Sponge, a beauty sponge innovation made from the Konjac Potato (native to Asia). To cover some of the alleged benefits in a few lines, the reason for using this special potato is because it’s entirely natural, dye free, biodegradable, full of vitamins, exfoliates, generates more bubbles if you use it with your foamy cleanser etc etc. It’s like a magic sponge *puffs smoke*. […]
Another day, another foundation. I am a foundation addict. I guess the fact is our skin changes all the time so what we want in a foundation changes too. At the moment I have a few fail proof favourites; RMK Creamy Foundation, MAC Face and Body, Estee Lauder Doublewear Light (I am still trying to find the perfect creamy compact foundation though!). When I received this DHC Q10 Moisture Care Liquid Foundation, I was excited […]
Maybe it’s because I have such a big interest in Japanese brands anyway, I forget that not everyone has heard of or tried DHC. DHC is a major brand in Asia with a vast range of products. But if you have never heard of them before or given them a try, now you have a chance! Selgridges.com and Selfridges London will now be stocking a selection of Japanese products: Deep Cleansing Oil (£21.50): the world-wide […]
Many ladies in the know tell me their all time favourite Japanese mascara comes from Majolica Majorca – their mascara’s are extremely long lasting and are usually very dark and lengthening. I personally found that their mascara’s didn’t hold curl until I tried their last release, Lash King (I thought I reviewed this but I can’t find the review so I concur that I am seriously going mad…). I quite enjoyed that mascara however the […]
I do like cooking although I have to mentally prepare myself sometimes for spending hours in the kitchen; preparing meals for Baby H, lunches for Mr C, dinner and something healthy for myself in one go means spending lots of time cooking and cleaning simultaneously. And something that annoys me so, is having freshly washed hair that gets infused with cooking smells, especially garlic! We love garlic in this household! To be fair I do […]
I was gazing at Twitter, sort of in a daydreaming kind of way when I skim read my timeline at work when I noticed several bloggers talking about a ’3 dot eyeliner’ by Clarins (due to be released in September 2012). 3 Dot Liner? I was intrigued I must admit as a huge lover of all kind of liners; liquid liner, gel liner, gel pencils, jumbo pencils etc. etc. PLUS I love a new beauty […]
For my up coming wedding (feels so odd saying that!) I purchased a few fail safe products from Japan (well actually Hong Kong!). No one makes waterproof make up like the Japanese do, so I picked up a few tried and tested goodies so I would have a new set to use come the big day! If you ever need super waterproof make up then good brands to look at are SANA, Naris Up and […]
