Tweet It’s Monday, Monday, so let’s start the week with a BANG! And that bang is a hot red lipstick from Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide Ultra Range. This lipstick provides a pigmented finish with moisturising colour. It also plumps the lips and leaves a shiny finish. It also contains Tahtian Gardenia, Shea Butter and vitamins A, C and E. The truth is I haven’t used Elizabeth Arden products for a while (apart from 8 Hour cream) so I’m pleased to revisit {Read More}
Tweet Earlier today I swatched some of the L’oreal Made for Me Intense colours, now I have 3 of the naturals – once again divided up into Blondes, Light Brunettes and Brunettes: Even though there are these guidelines (which kinda make sense) rules are made to be broken! The naturals range is a set of pale pinks and corals… The lipsticks:
Tweet Orange is the colour of spring 2011 baby, and I love it! It’s not my favourite colour but I’d say it was in the top 5. I bought this Follow Me Tint to try – they already have a blue one out which turns pink and that is lovely! This one is already orange (boo!) and it turns…well it goes into a pinky-orange. Sounds weird? It’s lovely. What’s the difference between a satsuma and a tangerine? Anyone know?
Tweet I always get excited when trying out a brand that is totally new to me. I got a selection of cosmetics from Artistry to try. I’ve never heard of the range before but it is supposed to be a skincare and colour cosmetics company – more about them here. The packaging is simple stuff: So that’s not madly interesting but the cases are lovely – the blusher I tried out came in this pretty compact with some crystal detail:
Tweet This is the first thing I have tried from Lord & Berry! Lord & Berry is a fashion house who have created a cosmetics range that focuses on lip and eye make up that works for women of all ethnic origins. They also have some base products and make up brushes! I was sent this lipstick pencil to try out. It’s a chubby pencil and I quite like it: It’s very pigmented, creamy, not necessarily hydrating but not drying {Read More}
Tweet Along with the Dramatic Memory Rouge colours I also purchased two lipsticks called Star Glow Rouge from Lavshuca! I love to try out their new formula lipsticks! Star Glow Rouge comes in 12 colours and is supposed to be like a gloss and a lipstick rolled into one with a nice shine and ‘brilliant’ finish. I love these kinds of lipstick swatches and lots of Japanese brands do them – how amazing?: I chose RS1 and BE2. I am {Read More}
Tweet Sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh. Those are contented sighs. Shiseido’s Spring offerings well and truly caught my attention (and trust me, it’s getting harder these days) and I think the new packaging (boxes and cases) and formulas are lovely. Evolve or die. I have two pretty products to show you from the collection, the Luminizing Satin Eye Colour Trio in Punky Blues BL310 and Shimmering Rouge Lipstick in Alabaster. Punky Blues is such a fun, gorgeous palette! I love {Read More}
Tweet Needless to say, with all the make up that I see and play with there’s not much on your average make up counter that gets me excited, but when I saw the new Shiseido spring collection, I was just coo-ing (see the colours at the end of the post!). Alas I was dragged away from the counter by Mr C, something about ‘having too many lipsticks’. Amazingly enough, he presented me one evening with the one my heart desired {Read More}
