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 Japanese eyeshadows, especially high street/drugstore level brands usually come in palettes with a particular colour theme (ie. browns or purples etc.) and come with a selection of shades from light to dark – very handy. They also tend to be sheer and shimmery although some palettes pack a real punch, the majority are wearable daytime palettes. If you ask me, there was this season when KATE had the Glam Trick Eyes (absolutely stunning eyeshadows, pigmented, gorgeous) and Lavshuca had {Read More}
Tweet Thought I’d share with you one of my recent purchases; KATE Select Eye Colours Shiny Selection in Nudy Brown! KATE releases a few limited edition Select Eye Colours every year – the year before there was a grey and brown set. This Shiny Selection is actually a year old but I spotted them on sale again on Adambeauty. It goes to show that sometimes you don’t need to rush and buy LE items, they can and do appear again {Read More}
Tweet Tired? I know the feeling to week. I average 4 hours sleep a night, sometimes 5, sometimes 3. Don’t worry, one day I will wake up at 1pm every day, watch day time television….until that day… One must try and look less like a zombie than usual. I’ve found 4 useful, multi use, brightening products that can be used on the eyes, cheeks (some of them) and if you really must, the lips! Here are some of my current {Read More}
Tweet There was a time when I’d go to work with blue and green purple sparkly eyeshadow – what can I say, it can be dark in the mornings and it wasn’t until I checked myself out in the lift I realised how much I looked like a CRAZY PERSON. The fact is I am very time short in the mornings and I do like a bit of eyeshadow, so I have decided to keep the brights tucked away during {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 Gosh – I remember the days when the pound was so strong against the dollar that I could roll on to adambeauty and buy an eyeshadow in every shade. Those days are gone, for sure. Nevertheless, when I saw Kanebo Kate’s newest gel eyeshadow offering I couldn’t resist picking up 4 shades. I love cream and gel eyeshadows! Kate’s previous offering of gel eyeshadows were more of a dense mousse texture and came in a pot. They were EXCELLENT {Read More}
Tweet I decided to order these new releases from Kanebo KATE – Lasting Gel Eyeliners – because I thought they’d be like the Avon Supershock Gel Liners but longer lasting and smudgeproof. KATE is such a good brand for the price: I ordered this gel eyeliner in 2 shades, brown and soft black rather than my usual hard dramatic black – I’ve realised it’s just too much for day to day. So my items arrived, one is a warm mid {Read More}
