Hey up ladies! Well it’s been a crazy few months for me and this current month has been insane (moving house, having a BABY) and yet, I find myself snatching the odd 15 minutes here and there to feel normal, if that makes sense, to do things that are regular things I used to do […]
We will start the week with Kat Von D and end the week with her too (I am sort of in love with the brand at the moment). The Alchemist Palette was brought to my attention by Fashionicide – check out her blog and Instagram for her colourful, unicorn-y, always uplifting make up looks (I’ve met […]
I was talking to an old University friend the other day and we reminisced about how back in the day, her sister bought her a Stila Lip Glaze, which was £20 back then for a large tube, and we were both in awe of it since when I was a student, £20 for a make […]
Did I intend on spending £64 x 2 on some blush/bronze/highlight palettes? Er, no. Was I swept away by two utterly gorgeous beautiful face palettes on one rainy afternoon? YES! And for once I don’t think I made a mistake. By Terry as you will probably know is a very high end cosmetic brand. It’s […]

His work has a features a mixture of manga, anime, motifs, bright colours, flat and glossy surfaces etc. His collection for Shu […]
Guerlain’s newest eyeshadow duo’s, L’Ecrin 2 Coleurs (£30) are fairly slender sized heavy weight eyeshadow compacts with two colours in two textures (a matte and a glitter/shimmer or as they call it, a dazzling veil). There are 8 colours altogether, all in very tempting and interesting combinations which I really like. The colours are all […]
My final Nars Artist Palette to review is the American Dream palette. Of all the palettes I purchased (or got Mr C to purchase!) this was the one I was the most excited about getting in the post. The palette is quite shimmery with the exception of Bali which is a neutral matte brown. […]
Now on to my third palette this week for review; Pleasures of Paris / Douceurs de Paris. As mentioned in previous posts, I collect these Nars artists palettes, and I do really like them for their handy size and usually – winning combinations. As always Nars features colours from other Duos or Solos. I […]
Stila was such a huge brand crush for me all those years ago when it first launched in the UK. I remember going to Selfridges with my friend and worshipping over the lip glazes – since we were both students then there as no way we could afford £20 for a lip gloss. Now that […]
One of my birthday presents from Mr C was Nars’ limited edition blush palette, named Danmari. I used to collect Nars make up, these days less so but as soon as I saw this palette I knew I had to have it. It comes in a lovely gift box (as a side note the Nars […]
Sometimes I get the urge to buy a palette that I missed out on on when it was first released. In this case it was Kose’s Visee Blackish Forming Eyes in B-5: Visee palettes are quite nice – sometimes great, sometimes just average. The Blackish Forming Eyes Eyeshadow Palettes are quite interesting because it’s quite […]
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 […]
Boots No. 7 has brought out two limited edition palettes for Autumn, in Stone & Canvas – two large, cardboard palettes that come with 4 complimentary shades and a soft pencil for £14.00 each. A few key things here: 1. I hate boxy cardboard packaging, without exception. 2. Boots No. 7 is hit or miss. […]
This weeks competition is for a double tiered Rimmel Palette, which has 15 eyeshadows, 2 cheek colours and a face powder, and four cream lip colours: Doesn’t do it justice, the shadows are very shimmery and metallic. To win, leave a comment: Last week was super rubbish for me, but I know that all things, […]
Roll up, roll up – Sleek MakeUp are launching a NEW limited edition palette on the 5th August called CURIOUS. Looks like Sleek are running with the i-Divine palette idea and I am glad – for less than £5 you get 12 shades of very soft, pigmented eyeshadows. It’s RIDUNKULOUS! Curious is one of my […]

Nars, oh Nars. It will always have a special place in my heart because when Nars gets it right, its just make up heaven. I had to buy the Modern Love Palette as I have most of the combination palettes – Philip Lim (haven’t touched it though!), Night Series Palette, another LE palette and more…anyway […]

What does a good time waster do when she has about – ooohh 50 things to do? She makes a lipstick palette! I have quite a few NYX round lipsticks (which are excellent considering the price) so I decided to give 28 the chop chop into one palette: Here’s the palette – which is NOT […]
