Happy April everyone! Where has the first quarter of this year gone? Isn’t it funny how quickly time passes, especially if nothing significant happens? But I digress. Now, you’d have to be completely disinterested in films to now knot that a live action version of Beauty and the Beast has been released starring Emma Watson […]
Sheet masks are big business these days, and they are ever popular in South East Asia where they are a regular part of the skincare routine. I do like a sheet mask, sure, but sometimes they reduce my mobility in the sense that they are likely to slide off so I can’t move around! Eek! […]
Japanese beauty house Kanebo has many brands under it’s wing, and at the top of their tree is the extremely high end and luxurious brand, Sensai. Sensai is a very elegant brand with cutting edge technology (especially on the skincare side) and is all about enhancing a woman’s natural beauty. I haven’t actually used anything […]
My my Suqqu is such a treat brand for me. I recently received products from their first ever UK exclusive collection inspired by summer sea and sand. There are 5 products in total, 2 eyeshadow quads, 2 Creamy Glow lipsticks and a new Extra Volume mascara. These colours are far brighter than I expected […]
Anything by Suqqu is generally lush, right? Well…yes. As one of the more luxurious Japanese brands, it is consistent in quality whether it is the skincare or make up. You have to appreciate the style of make up of course; you may think their eyeshadows are quite sheer, but that is the natural but radiant […]
I have been waiting FOREVER – Forever – to try the signature Suqqu Gankin massage. GANKIN! What is the Gankin massage? Basically it is a 3 minute massage used to help stiff facial muscles and life sagging skin. It is a very strong massage that is supposed to help drain fluid and improve circulation too. […]
Hello ladies! It has been a tricky time to blog with website woes and just general business but I have lots of things to write about! So let’s start with some fancy skincare. I am a big fan of RMK all round – the cosmetics and the skincare items. Where I think RMK excels skincare […]
Whenever RMK release a new foundation I get really excited – see, they make my favourite foundation in the world, the Creamy Base, so I always have big expectations for any new product they have. As I already have quite a few products from their base range I can also mix and match accordingly too! […]
Jill Stuart’s latest lip release is this gorgeously packaged lip gloss-lip colour hybrid called Forever Juicy Oil Rouge. This liquid lip colour has a pigmented rich colour and shine, as well as a moisturising none sticky finish. It has a fruity scent and juicy colour. It has a beauty oil base which combines organ […]
Having been a long time RMK fan (Creamy Foundation FOR EVER), I am always happy to see their new collections – they are quite a unique brand in the sense that they have the Japanese quality and restrained wearable edge (many Japanese brands focus on shimmery sheer washes of colour and wearable, pretty looks) along […]
I quite like Shiseido Integrate – the brand is underrated really, as they have some brilliant mascara and base products but in the sea of much louder Japanese brands, it gets lost. I recently purchased this product which is both an eye base and concealer to save time. I am quite lazy using concealer and I […]
Yes I am slow. The RMK Power of Love collection launched early Autumn, and here we are, approaching December and I am finally getting my post up! But hey! Better late than never, plus, many of these products are still available on counter and from Selfridges too! So here we go. I have been using a […]
My favourite foundation ever – the one that has stood the test of time is RMK’s Creamy Foundation. On my extreme combination skin type (very dry or oily with blackheads) it just works a treat and leaves my skin feeling soft, healthy, hydrating and glowing. I have loved it for so long that I was […]
I was recently invited to the RMK counter at Exchange Square Manchester to have a make over with RMK’s newest collection, ‘Power of Love’. I had a very informative and through make over at the counter with RMK MUA Lucy, who did a fine job at transforming and stressed out skin into something very natural […]
I have been going through my drawer, my ‘new stuff not opened yet’ and throwing caution to the wind recently – so if you see lots of random posts of products that aren’t brand new, that is why! Two lipsticks I purchased in the SpaceNK annual sale and never used are these Shu Uemura Rouge […]
My skin did a super super big flip out recently (I blame pregnancy and stress) and I had extremely sandpapery rough red dry patches on my cheeks that stung intensely with a lot of skincare products and a LOT of redness. It was just so uncomfortable and I didn’t know what to use. Then […]
Perhaps i am just a sucker for pretty packaging, but every now and then Jill Stuart release a collection I can’t ignore. Overall I find their products good wish some duds – one of the duds for me is actually their eyeshadow palettes which I find too sheer and wishy washy to be exciting. Here […]
RMK remains one of my favourite Japanese beauty and skincare brands – I just have a soft spot for them – and there’s some products that I have used for years. Cosmetic wise, their RMK creamy foundation and Mascara are my staples. Skincare wise, here are my favourites! 1. RMK Cleansing Balm 2. RMK Firming […]
DHC is one of those staple Japanese brands that is understated but reliable once you get into into the range. They are known mainly for skincare but they also have a range of cosmetics (I love their foundation) and recently I tested a few of their Premium Lipstick GE range. The Premium Lipstick GE […]
A week or two ago, ASOS had a beauty flash sale where items were reduced by up to 30% for just one day, and I couldn’t help but divulge in some bits from Paul & Joe cosmetics. It’s a Japanese brand (Paul & Joe is of course a fashion label primarily) that holds a special […]
