Tweet I do like cooking although I have to mentally prepare myself sometimes for spending hours in the kitchen; preparing meals for Baby H, lunches for Mr C, dinner and something healthy for myself in one go means spending lots of time cooking and cleaning simultaneously. And something that annoys me so, is having freshly washed hair that gets infused with cooking smells, especially garlic! We love garlic in this household! To be fair I do wash my hair regularly, {Read More}
Tweet I didn’t want to throw this Rimmel Masacara out without doing a quick review, because it does deserve one. I’ve had Rimmel’s Forever Shape mascara for some time now – this beauty is a Japan only product (Rimmel Japan has a number of exclusive products and lines) and it is a brilliant mascara for girls with straight lashes like me. I don’t call many mascaras brilliant, you may have noticed… The spokesperson for Rimmel Japan is Ayumi Hamasaki, no {Read More}
Tweet Skincare is a difficult thing to review – everyone has different skin concerns and it’s hard to recommend a product sometimes because it just depends on how your skin is at this moment it time… With that in mind I find it hard to recommend skincare products unless I think it’s given me visible results. It’s been a while since that has happened, and as you can imagine, I do get to test a lot of products out. Then {Read More}
Tweet When it comes to feeling like you’ve had a luxurious make up treat, there’s nothing quite like a bit of Chanel to perk up the day. When I saw their newest powder, Les Beiges, fronted by Gisele, I squealed a bit because I love base products and the new nifty compact is oh so chic. I also took this opportunity to try their new Perfection Lumiere Long Wear Flawless Make Up Foundation. Perfection Lumiere Long Wear Flawless Fluid Sunscreen {Read More}
Tweet My memory of the Hard Candy brand is the multitude of nail polish colours they stocked a Boots which came with a free plastic ring. Even back then they cost nearly £10 each, and I remember talking to school friends and confirming who had a rich dad..’But she’s got 4 of those Hard Candy rings!’. Hard Candy is no more in the UK but it lives on in the US! When I saw this Megawatt Smile Lipstick being recommended {Read More}
Tweet There are two things that I constantly lose; lip balms and tweezers. This year alone I have misplaced three pairs…I think they are hiding somewhere along with some odd socks, conspiring against me. But I digress… A girl can never have enough pairs of good tweezers. As someone who not so long ago picked up some 99p ones from Home Bargains, I can confirm that cheap tweezers that are hard to hold, or don’t quite meet in the middle {Read More}
Tweet EX1 Cosmetics is a range of make up created by Farah Naz, who is British Asian, and wanted to create a range of products suitable for ‘exotic’ skintones after being frustrated at what the high street had to offer. The brand uses the term ‘exotic’, and by that, they are meaning Asian (which in the UK tends to refer to Indian and Pakistani races), Middle/Far-Eastern or Mediterranean complexions. We are talking about quite a specific colour group, from golden {Read More}
Tweet My final instalment of the Aveda Art of Nature collection is all about the lips lips lips! Once again I’ve never really used Aveda lip colour products before. I have the Nourish Mint in Melochia Bloom Lipstick (914-Sheer), Nourish-Mint Lip Liner in Barberry Bloom Lip Pencil, Nourishing Mint Rehydrating Lip Glaze in Kukui – all of these formulas are Limited Edition. What I found interesting about these products is that they’re not necessarily complimentary, although you can use them {Read More}
