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 am late to the party but I jut got my first set of Essie Gel Couture polishes, and I think they look pretty cool. I love the twisted bottle design. I have 5 colours from the collection and their Platinum Grade Finish top coat. I believe that they have released a collection of 12 […]
What was I expecting from MAC’s Liptensity Lipstick? Well it had been recommended to me by a few sources, for the texture, for the colour on olive skin tones, for many reasons. I caved and purchased it for £17.50 and I was expecting a super creamy balm like texture with a lot of pigmentation and […]
I am out of sheet masks. Because I don’t buy that many sheet masks. But I need to. Devoid of regular facials and devoid of the time to give myself facial massages or whatever, I can find 10 minutes to slap a sheet on and make myself feel like I am having some me time. […]
Essie really seem to be releasing a lot of nail polishes lately and I am quite impressed with my growing collection. After trying their Neon collection I rather liked the look of their Wild Nudes collection: These four rich creme colour shades are permanent and are ‘edgy’ nudes – I totally get that. They […]
My eyes lit up when I saw the new Essie Neon collection; I adore brights on the nails because I just think they’re a bit of fun. The Essie neon collection consist of 4 bright shades that were inspired by the graffiti splashed walls of Miami. There is also a really interesting product, which […]
There’s one thing I never get tired of testing and that’s foundation. Always on the look out for a new base, a new finish, a new texture…and despite Lancome having a huge range of formulas and shades, I haven’t used one of their bases in years. But, I was excited to try one of their […]
Does anyone else remember what the brand Eyeko used to look like? If you are a million years old like me, you will know their famous product was a mascara in a toothpaste like tube, which was in pink packaging with a sweet kawaii cartoon girl as the logo. It was super sweet and cute […]
Dental care isn’t a particularly glamorous thing to talk about – but neither is hair removal, and us beauty bloggers love to talk about that…so…let’s talk about teeth. I use an electric toothbrush normally and it’s ok. I was excited at the chance to try the Foreo Issa Hybrid toothbrush because – well it can […]
Oh, you know those beauty products that everyone talks about and says is amazing, but you avoid? Yeah. Anastasia Modern Renaissance palette is one of them. I don’t like cardboard packaging in the slightest, I don’t like too many reddish tones. Everyone talked about this amazing palette and I had zero interest. Then…..a You Tuber […]
I am easing back in to writing posts, everyone. The kids have had one sickness after another with no break (Flu, Norovirus, Ear Infection, now Scarlet Fever) so to say it’s hard to find time to do anything in the evening other than collapse on the floor in a pile is an understatement. So here […]
If I could only do 3 make up things to my face, one of them would be to tightline under the lashes. Tightlining (I am sure you already know but I will recap) is when you draw some eyeliner under the lashes. The result is defined eyes that also look natural. It’s a godsend for […]
Listen – I discovered LUSH years ago when there was one tiny shop in Poole, and I used to get the catalogue in the post and order like two things because they shipping was expensive. I want a t-shirt that says that actually. WHEN I DISCOVERED LUSH YOU WEREN’T EVEN BORN. Anyway Lush. I’m not […]
Deodorant is not a particularly interesting topic admittedly, it’s seen as one of those things everyone (well everyone should) uses and meh, who asks you what deodorant you’re using anyway? But, once you get in to the world of natural/organic/alternative deodorants you’ve got a ton to choose from; dusting powders, creams, rock crystals, so on […]
Happy April everyone! Where has the first quarter of this year gone? Isn’t it funny how quickly time passes, especially if nothing significant happens? But I digress. Now, you’d have to be completely disinterested in films to now knot that a live action version of Beauty and the Beast has been released starring Emma Watson […]
I was a sent a one month trial of Beauty & Go beauty drinks to try recently (well, a month ago) – why did I accept? Because I love sweet drinks and juices, although I know I should be drinking plain water and herbal tea. Because I am too lazy to make smoothies most days, […]
When people ask my what my favourite type of make up is, I used to say, everything. Now these days I would say…lipstick. Closely followed by many other beauty products but for a quick hit, it has to be a luxury lipstick. Gone are the days of buying several cheap lipsticks from Korea – I […]
Happy Thursday y’all. How is your week going? My laptop died last week and I have spent a week trying to recover everything which was…not at stressful as I thought. Maybe because I wasn’t living through my laptop as much as I used it, I went with the flow. At least I got my most […]
You know what the problem with many Korean eyeshadow palettes are? Bearing in mind I have used many? That so many are just average. They sure look pretty but where is the pigment? Sure, Japanese brands don’t exactly make pigment rich eyeshadows but their have a gorgeous shimmer that is hard to compare. Anyway […]
I do like a good hair appliance even if I don’t have that much time to use them. When I saw the new Toni & Guy Stay Fix Stylers (handbag sized styling tools) I thought, ADORABLE. There are three types, a straightener, a waver and a curler which all work like full sized appliances but […]
