When I was recently offered the chance to try a Home Anti Ageing Facial Treatment device called the NEWA, I said YES, YES, LET ME TRY. Why? I am in my 30s now. That sounds scarier to say than it actually is. I don’t think I look bad at all for my age but raising two […]
So my “Don’t buy any absolute essential make up” rule for 2017 has somewhat failed. See, I can’t resist a bit of Charlotte Tilbury sometimes – I do think she is quite irresistible, she is an incredible sales woman. I decided that I wanted either Pillow Talk (a matte shade based on the lipliner, Pillow […]
Ok so I am a huge fan of Ru Paul’s Drag race; a reality TV competition like X-Factor but for Drag Queens. Kim Chi was a contestant on Season 8 of Drag Race and a finalist – she happens to be Korean and I loved that there was a South East Asian queen on there […]
As I get older, there are some beauty things that I have ditched as I feel it doesn’t really do anything of me any more; lime green eyeshadow for example, and deathly nude lips. One thing that I have not ditched (and I am not saying anyone should ditch anything – this is a personal […]
God knows I am addicted to doing crazy things to my hair (balayage, dye over, remove, dye over, remove, dye over, highlights etc. etc.) and I know deep down I should leave it alone but it’s like an addiction. I have actually done quite well for the last few months and let my hair grow […]
Stila’s Aqua Glow Serum Foundation (£34.50) and matching concealer (£19) boasts a weightless glowing finish in a super light texture. I haven’t tried a Stila base in a while but I love a new foundation – this formula is quite different to my usual BB or Cream textures in that is is quite a watery […]
I lost my Marc Jacobs virginity with this lipstick – the New Nudes Sheer Gel Lipstick is a sheer, glossy selection of nude wearable colours in 7 shades in a very cute unusual oblong (is it oblong?!) shaped lip stick case. I love the weird toffee coloured packaging, it’s quite retro looking and heavy weight […]
The thing about natural/organic skincare ranges is that the quality is so varied. Every time I have the chance to review a new mineral make up brand I am excited but also holding my breath at the same time. I even splashed out over £100 on some RMS make up and I only liked half […]
A while ago I was sent a mixture of The Estee Edit products to play with so I thought I would do a group review of the items I tried. If you don’t know, The Estee Edit is a selection of ‘can’t go wrong’ essentials; the range is very much part of Estee Lauder but […]
Kids these days eh? Or is it parents these days? I don’t know. But I do know I am the kind of mum that uses glass bottles for their water, uses organic ingredients only and paraben free skincare wherever possible. I try and do my best for my kids and I am sure every parent […]
I haven’t used Clinique in so long (the same applies to brands like Chanel, Dior, YSL – I guess Asian and niche brands have been taking my attention) I was actually really excited to test out their new foundation in that iconic shaped bottle. It’s like revisiting an old trusty friend. Superbalanced Silk Make Up […]
I have a fair few of these ‘everywhere’ type creams and balms not because I use them on myself that much (I have a cream for face, for the body – everything is more specific), but because I have 2 boys that needs moisturising all the time and a husband who also has dry skin […]
It’s not easy writing a review for a hair straightener – it’s like writing a review about a saucepan. Everyone has one these days. Most of them will do the job. I too, was not on the market for a straightener – in fact I haven’t touched one for a while now, due to a […]
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 […]
I have become a real sucker for a nice facial oil – nice but not TOO fancy as I find too many essential oils can make my sensitive skin react. I will do a post eventually on the ones who are in my ‘skincare tub’. One of the ones I’ve really enjoyed using is this […]
Happy Friday everyone! Today I am going to review and talk about MyShowcase – my introductory post from a year or two ago here. MyShowcase is a few things; a beauty shopping website with a real catalogue you can peruse, as well as a business you can join by inviting friends to parties where they […]
Essie recently released their ‘Rio Collection’ of course in celebration of the Olympics (have you been watching? I love it and I watch anything that’s on since I don’t usually watch sport at all!). There are 7 new shades here, definitely something for everyone and I have my favourites too. I don’t have the hugest […]
Good afternoon all! Today I am reviewing my latest lipstick purchased from 3CE, which is actually part of a Korean fashion brand called Stylenanda, but happen to make some cool beauty products too. Their newest release is a limited edition collaboration with Barbapapa, a French character which looks like an pink blob that came to […]
Mega Matte is a new lip release from Boots’ own beauty brand SEVENTEEN. There is a huge trend at the moment for matte lips of course, although everyone’s definition of matte seems to vary from brand to brand! Mega Matte Lipstick promises to ‘glide on smoothly’ whilst being pigmented, totally matte and last for up […]
I’ve seen these Oval make up brushes around for a little while now and my first thought as GIMMICK. WHAT? What’s wrong with the brushes we already have eh? This looks like a giant toothbrush! They’re also so expensive. When I was offered the chance to review some brushes, any set my heart desired I […]
