Tweet Another day, another brand launches a BB cream… I don’t know why I feel kinda hopeful about this one. The Body Shop’s All in One BB Cream contains ‘pigment filled capsules that burst when applied to the skin’. It comes in 3 tones, light, medium and dark, and is supposed to provide 24 hour hydration to the skin. I feel like this one may be one of the lighter, airy BB creams around – we’ll see when I get {Read More}
Tweet If you have short, straight eyelashes, you can’t beat Japanese mascara for making puny lashes look amazing. However – it is almost inevitable that most of these mascara’s are impossible or at least, very very very hard to remove without scrubbing and some lash casualties. I have yet to find a mascara that TRULY holds curl but isn’t a nightmare to get off. The answer? Could it be an amazing eye make up remover?! I think so! Heroine Make {Read More}
Tweet Without even realising it, I have tried quite a few Bourjois foundations! I have tried: Bourjois Bio Detox, Flower Foundation, 123 Perfect, Mineral Matte, Sleep Effect…lots of them! I haven’t, until now, tried one of the best selling and most popular Bourjois bases – Healthy Mix! I purchased this when there was a 3 for 2 at Superdrug: I was choosing between this foundation and the Healthy Mix Serum, which is the newer version. Apparently the serum is better for oily {Read More}
Tweet Bourjois’s newest foundation release is 123 Perfect, which I happened to spot when I was last in Boots – I didn’t hear about it online which suggests it was released with very little fanfare! When it comes to high street/ drugstore level foundation, Bourjois is one of the few brands I would buy and use – I mean I buff foundation into my face every day and I do prefer the higher end premium bases because I don’t like {Read More}
Tweet Maybe it’s just my old age (YOU DON’T HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME) but I have quietly shoved my beloved acid greens and luminous neon blues into the bottom drawer and rediscovered a love for all things neutral, warm, flattering. There are so many nice neutral eyeshadow palettes out there to choose from these days, the Urban Decay Naked palettes are a good place to start but I also have a Wet ‘n’ Wild set which is just gorgeous {Read More}
Tweet 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 Koji! Koji in particular {Read More}
Tweet It was Holly Yummy Mummy who told me I had to try out the L’oreal Rouge Caresse Lipsticks – otherwise I don’t really stop on the L’oreal counter all that often. There was a 3 for 2 at Superdrug so I picked up one of these to try. Why did I end up with 103 Sweet Berry? Because the Superdrug counter was such a mess – opened, tested, squished lipsticks everywhere so in the end I went for {Read More}
Tweet When I saw Lily Cole’s first make up collaboration with The Body Shop I did definitely stop for a moment to ooohhh over the products, in particular the lip and cheek domes! (more on that later). I was sent a really cute bento box of goodies from The Body Shop which was very cute! Lily Cole’s make up collaboration range is cruelty free and contains no animal products and has not been tested on animals. It is also a {Read More}
