Do you remember that not too long ago, No. 17 became SEVENTEEN? I have to be honest, like an old person, I disregarded it and kept calling the brand, No. 17 because it had been that for so long, like how my mum called Cif Jif, or Mr C calls Snickers, Marathons. Anyway, names aside, SEVENTEEN seems to have moved away from that dark blue packaging into sleeker black one although the feel is […]
The newest instalment of the Sleek i-Divine eyeshadow palettes is called Garden of Eden, and rather appropriately, it comes in a snakeskin print box; Sleek eyeshadow palettes are extremely good value of money, and come with a selection of 12 colours in each palette. They are good quality too, with soft and pigmented colours (in the past, I’ve found the palettes a bit fragile because of how soft they can be). Here’s a closer look at […]
Avon’s newest lipsticks is the Ultra Colour Absolute Lipstick. Oh come on, you’re thinking, aren’t you all Tom Ford and Suqqu? Yes. Yes I am. But I am a lipstick addict, and there’s nothing better than finding a cheap and cheerful gem of a lipstick, and you know what? I think these colours from Avon are really rather fabulous. These Ultra Colour lipstick is supposed to be pigmented, and hydrating, infused with collagen, vitamin E, […]
Lime Crime’s newest instalment of the famous Velvetine colours is Pink Velvet. If you don’t know what Velvetine lip colours are; they are HIGHLY pigmented liquid lip stains that leave a matte, ‘velvet’ like finish to the lips. I have tried the red one before and found it a little drying. But now I am back with this beautiful hot pink. Here is the pretty packaging: I do love hot pink – I […]
I am still rubbish at applying false eyelashes although I am trying – I really am – to apply them so that it doesn’t look like I’ve done my face in the dark. As tempting as it is to buy 99p lashes from Home Bargains, there’s no doubt that better quality lashes (crucially, a soft band) are easier to apply and give a more natural, pretty finish. I find that my Asian eye shape is […]
I recently made a haul from VDL cosmetics, a Korean brand with quite a lot of interesting products and two of the eyeshadow products I got were VDL’s eyeshadows, specifically from the ‘Sparkle’ shades – the super glittery colours. I chose Sparkle Chocolat 208 and Sparkle Bronze 903; These eyeshadows come in boxes, and the actual cases are very similar if no identical to MAC solos. They are priced quite reasonably – I paid about […]
I don’t know how Burberry did it, considering the fact that lots of fashion houses release cosmetic lines that eventually fail, but I think they have genuinely created a cosmetic range that is as good as it looks. Although I have only tried a few items from the range I’ve really liked everything I’ve tried so far. Now on to the blush! This is my first Burberry blush, and it’s called Tangerine Glow: As always […]
As you may know, I am a Nars collector (any excuse) and when I saw this Narsissist palette I nearly wet my pants, then I kind of calmed myself down and said NO, YOU DO NOT NEED ANOTHER RANDOM NUDE PALETTE, then I took a closer look at it and realised that yes, yes I DO need this palette in my life because it is a Limited Edition and I collection this stuff. Also it’s […]
