Tweet The last time I was at a Paul & Joe counter, I wrote about how the SA shadowed my every step until I gave in a purchased all the items she wanted me to. This time, I was in the same store (Fenwicks, London) but the staff were new and they totally different. I was excited, so excited about going to a Paul & Joe counter to pick some Select Eyeshadows for a palette. I am mad for custom {Read More}
Tweet It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday… This week has been hectic and so I’ve been going through my archives to see what I have been meaning to talk about. Can you believe I forgot to talk about my experiences with the legend that is the Fairy Drops mascara!? Fairy Drops mascara comes in many formulas now – when I bought it, the packaging had been renewed to the Las Vegas Sweets design! I bought a primer, called {Read More}
Tweet Recently I’ve been in ‘boring eyeshadow mode’. What do I mean by boring eyeshadow mode? Well, for me, it’s browns, mattes, nudes. As much as I love me peacock type colours there’s a time and a place or everything and I’ve grown to appreciate the natural glowy look. I purchased two eyeshadow palettes from Kanebo’s Kate range a few months ago: These are what I’d call, ideal work place eyeshadow palettes.
Tweet Sun screen, oh sun screen. After my Elemis skin scan I will no longer leave the house without Sunscreen! I recently bought 2 sunscreens (how many times can I say that?) from Kose’s Nature & Co brand. Nature & Co is a really interesting range and one of the first Japanese ‘natural’ ranges. I bought the older one, which is the Pure White Care Day Essence and the newest release Mint & Tea Sun Protector. Both are SPF50 and {Read More}
Tweet I don’t actually have the discipline of a hardened vitamin taker – my Nan won’t leave the house with out her cod liver oil capsules – but I can’t stop myself from trying new supplements all the time. I used to give up on them very quickly because I get headaches and itchy skin very quickly if something doesn’t suit me. When I get odd symptoms, I stop taking it, end of. One brand of supplements I do react {Read More}
Tweet I don’t own many brushes although I have recently acquired a very posh Shu Uemura brush (more on this later) and this cute handbag sized Ikemoto Cushion Hair Brush! There’s a real trend with Japanese hair brushes where they will infuse the brush with a type of oil to add extra gloss and shine! This Ikemoto brush contains Tsubaki (or camellia oil) which is supposed to be good for hair. This brush contains 1.2mk of tsubaki oil and is {Read More}
Tweet I am trying to be more careful with sunscreen – I’ve noticed my skin looking more tired and aged, as well as the fact I am getting darker and darker despite not going on holiday (sob!) or indeed sitting in the sun for any length of time. So I bought a number of face SPF, body sunscreens and so on to ‘try’ and be more careful with UV protection! One I’d like to present to you today is Kanebo’s {Read More}
Tweet I’ve seen Shiseido’s Fog Bar product around forever but have never bought it because…well, what’s a Fog Bar? How could and why would a product be called a Fog Bar? Why? Why? Je Ne Pas Comprende (go ahead, correct me). This Fog Bar comes in pink, it’s for girls and it comes with a PINK SATIN SCRUNCHIE. My life is complete: I believe, quite strongly that no one apart from a 9 year old ballerina in training should own {Read More}
