Tweet *Shuffles in..* Well….um…how do I say this….I’m coming over all shy… I’m engaged! To Mr C that is. I know you’re thinking, I thought you were already married. Well we aren’t, but that’s what being with someone for years and years does to you – you are practically, nearly, almost married, but in the words of Brandy, almost doesn’t count! Here is a reenactment of the actual events: This actually happened quite a few weeks ago but we have {Read More}
Tweet A little while ago I did a haul on Adambeauty.com for some Esprique make up! Esprique is a Japanese brand, and used to be Esprique Precious before it was upgraded to a sleeker, black look. The range is in the mid-high price range and is aimed at older women (as in not teenagers) but they’re not boring either! I bought an eyeshadow palette (Blend Dimensional Eyes Deep) in B-3 which is an unusual pink brown palette and a Mellow {Read More}
Tweet So a little while ago I was watching QVC and got sucked into order a Special Value Kit from Mally. As far as I know, Mally is a cosmetics range that is only sold officially on QVC (in the UK) and is headed by make up artist Mally Roncal (think Kimora Lee with lighter hair). If you watch her on QVC she is very loud and bubbly, in a slightly scary way. Anyway I ordered a set which included {Read More}
Tweet Months ago, a lovely reader helped me purchase this chocolate eyeshadow palette from Kiss (a Japanese brand) called the Glamourize Shadow. There are 4 shades in the compact and they colours are very natural. I’ve been totally into nude eyeshadow palettes lately, I just like the natural glow at the moment.
Tweet Regular readers will know I love making my own palettes so I asked for this Vidi Vici Lunch Box Quad palette (empty) and 4 refills. You can actually refill this with eyeshadows, blush, eyebrow colour, shader, lip colours – it’s very flexible. I was boring and went for 4 eyeshadows as I knew I wouldn’t bother using a brow powder, lip colours etc. Now, this Lunch Box palette also comes in a 2 pan (soon to be discontinued) and {Read More}
Tweet Clio is a fairly expensive Korean make up brand (in comparison to Skinfood, Etude House et al) and is also quite tricky to find if you are ordering from the UK! I have a real eyeliner obsession and spotted these super cool looking gel pencil eyeliners called Gelpresso – like Gel and Espresso!!!!! Oh wait….Gel…Express….O. For some reason I have coffee on the brain. Although these pencils are about £15 each I bought 6 of them (I have a {Read More}
Tweet I was sent a selection of products from a French brand, terre d’Oc which is certified organic, non-comogenic and is formulated with a number of oils and butters. The idea is that the products nourish as well as looking pretty! I have 3 products here, Eye Shadow Duo which has a cream texture in Rose and Prune Takaro, Eye Kohl in 701 Prune Kerala and Gloss Sublime Lip Gloss in Peach. Want a closer look?
Tweet When I was on holiday in Budapest, I picked up tons of cheap make up from the pharmacies over there. One of the brands I saw was called Essence – I don’t think I’ve seen this brand in the UK before but I think it’s sold in Ireland and across Europe. It’s an English language brand and quite a funky young one (reminds me of Miss Sporty) and there’s a big variety of items, especially for nails. I am {Read More}
