Tweet My nails are still stained from Flamingo Pink nail polish (by Barry M) – I am waiting for the yellowness to grow out. USE A BASE COAT THEN! you cry… I did! It still stained It did make me go out and buy some new nail base and top coats anyway, to see how effective different brands are at protecting the nail from staining. I had to buy these Paul & Joe top and base coats because I lurveeeee {Read More}
Tweet Once I got to about Grade 5 on piano, I started to tackle the work of Debussy (looks simple, but the magic is in the emotion!) and Clair de Lune is one of the pieces I did first, with my heavy handed chords and clumsy right hand. But readers! I was only 12! Here is the piece if you are unfamiliar…or maybe you should press play anyway as we continue on with the piece!…. Now, back to make up… {Read More}
Tweet eBay is such a great place for make up bargains! I picked up these two Paul & Joe Lip Glosses (they have been repackaged recently so look slightly different to the new ones) in Galaxie (a silver with glitter) and Passion (a juicy sheer red with glitter). I can never get enough of Paul & Joe packaging: I’m glad that Paul & Joe is easier to purchase these days, on various retail outlets. The silver one, Galaxie is sheer {Read More}
Tweet Soooo, the weekend before my No Buy rule, I paid a visit to Fenwicks in London. I’ve never been in the store before and to be honest it reminded me of John Lewis’s circa 1988, when my Nan used to take me shopping for pop socks and navy leather handbags. So I walked past the scary bits of the store, where the SA’s were a little full on, and round the corner was the glorious Shu Uemura and Paul {Read More}
Tweet Ideally, for Kissing Day there would be no lip gloss (men hate that stuff!) but I couldn’t resist featuring my current favourite lip gloss (favourite lip gloss gets to sit in my coat pocket). It’s Paul & Joe’s Lip Gloss – in the new packaging in 06 which is the perfect peach with a slight shimmer: The applicator is a brush. It seems to be softer than the old brushers: And on the lips…
Tweet I told myself I wouldn’t buy anything else too pretty because I wouldn’t be able to use it but I broke that rule – yep – for this – the Paul & Joe Alice in Wonderland Collection for 2010. This comes in two variations – Day Dream 02 (peach) and Fantasy 01 (pink). I got Day Dream. Here it is: The tin is beautiful – but big. Much bigger than I thought it would be (I wanted to use {Read More}

Both sets include a limited edition tin, lip treatment, blotting powder and a refill. It costs £25 per set. Set One, FANTASY that contains 001 Sweet Milky Pink: This is set 2,Day Dream which would be my choice: This contains a lip treatment stick in {Read More}
Tweet Paul & Joe is a brand I have a weakness for because it has such stunning packaging and concepts. I love their Eye glosses, Creamy Lipsticks and Pigments. For Winter 2009, they launched a gorgeous looking purple and gold packaged range called ‘Smoke and Mirrors’. In Asia this comes as a set (with the shadow, liner and case) but it the UK and US, like the mugs we are, we have to buy the products separately: There are two {Read More}
