When I first received some samples from Estee Lauder’s new side range I was like whatttttt? The range dos feel like Estee Lauder but…different. Youthful? Fun? Quite daring? The Estee Edit is a huge range of cosmetics and skincare which is aimed at beauty junkies; colours that you would never have seen before from Estee […]
Sometimes i get sent stuff to review, stuff that is really hyped up like a new mascara or a bronzer or whatever and lots of people seem to love it I can’t seem to get it to work, so I sit on it for a while to see if it’s just me being a dumb […]
A very common way for lip colour to be applied in Korea is the ombre style – that is a dab of colour in the middle of the lips spread out to almost nothing at the outer edges. It’s a subtle way of wearing a bright colour (watch any K-Drama and you will see women […]
I am on a make up No Buy, sort of, because I am really at that point where I just have so much make up there’s little else I need to buy (I have actually been culling my core collection as I’d love to just have 1 make up tower and a few additional baskets […]
I thought my body spray days were over and done with but no. I had to try these Body Fantasies scents out – the brand is from the US (it has that American vibe, no?) and comes in a huge array of fragrances. Currently there are 4 available in the UK; Japanese Cherry Blossom, Pink […]
Coffee, sweet elixir of life. I could drink it all day every day. Someone told me recently that drinking a cup of coffee at 10pm was madness, but that’s me. I just adore the taste. Now, Coffee is not just for drinking! I’ve been seeing lots of coffee scrubs around so was excited to try […]
Kaeng Raeng is an American brand is a beauty and healthcare range which has a lot of things I really like the sound of; the products are cruelty free, gluten free, colour free, soy free, non-gmo etc. And they really are effective and lovely to use. There are currently two new(ish) facial skincare products! […]
I remember when I tried my first IPL device, and since then, there are been a lot of progress in terms of the size, speed and general effectiveness of the devices. My first device had a huge base which didn’t seem like a huge problem but it definitely took up space and the cord attached […]
I recently got my hair highlighted again (although very subtly – I saw what was happening to the girl next to me and immediately aborted the ideas I had in my head for an ombre) but because they didn’t tone it it looksd orange almost immediately. Thank god I now know how to fix the […]
I have a few products from Color Wow and I really do rate them. The brand isn’t one that everyone has heard of, but I find their products (their most famous is perhaps the root cover up powder) light and easy to use. I hate crispy hair that is weighed down, and their range never […]
Kiss Me Heroine Make makes one my favourite mascaras – their formula is brilliant for straight, short Asian lashes that refuse to hold curl with most mascaras. I have also tried their ‘Super Film’ mascara which is removable with warm water (it was rubbish). But there is a big problem with this mascara, and that […]
EGLips is another Korean beauty brand that is sort of ignorable; the packaging is simple, the brand name is like…EG What? Sounds like an electrical shop or something. And yet…I have a few products (eyeliner, lip gloss) from their range and the stuff is pretty decent, especially as most of the range is only about […]
Can you believe that despite living about 20 minutes drive from Legoland Discovery Centre in Trafford Manchester, we have never visited? The kids may only be 1 and 3 but the absolutely love their blocks – Harrison builds every single day usually with Mega Blocks, we just don’t have enough for him to make all […]
Missha Glam Art Rouge is an existing lipstick in the Missha family, and the packaging has recently been updated with 20 new shades. This new lipstick is certainly more expensive than others in their range at £10 (I usually look to pay about £6 for a Korean branded lipstick from a mid end range. So […]
A while ago I was sent a selection of Asian sheet masks to try. I have been using sheet masks for years and now plenty of brands do them – all though it was an Asian phenomenon first! Some people who are committed to skincare will apply one as the last step to skincare every […]
Now I thought this was a super clever idea. Razor blades in the post. A subscription. WHAT? I can just go to the super market and buy them there, you cry! Yes you can. That is true. But the idea behind FFS or Fiction Free Shaving is that you get 4 blades per month so […]
My my Suqqu is such a treat brand for me. I recently received products from their first ever UK exclusive collection inspired by summer sea and sand. There are 5 products in total, 2 eyeshadow quads, 2 Creamy Glow lipsticks and a new Extra Volume mascara. These colours are far brighter than I expected […]
To celebrate Essie’s 35th Anniversary, a limited edition have been relaunched, featuring some of Essie’s much loved shades. There are 6 shades altogether and I have two of the more natural looking ones here! The first Essie collection was launched in 1981 by founder Essie Weingarten, who travelled to Las Vegas to sell her collection […]
There was a time you know, not that long ago, when it was quite hard to find an under eye illuminating concealer type thing that was any where near as good as Touche Eclat – but of course these days, everyone does an illuminating pen and many have superseeded good old Touch Eclat (although I […]
I’ve been trying Peeling Gels for years – originally Japanese brands but I stopped using them as I found the irritated my skin too much to be worth it. But then I was having a mindless day and decided to purchase the Mizon Apple Smoothie Peeling Gel which was only about £6. Peeling gels are […]
