I made a resolution not very long (ok, 2 weeks ago) to drink more water. Quite often it is one of those resolutions I have in my New Years list but somehow I always forget to sip. That’s the key isn’t it? If you are a none plain water fan like myself,you need to remember […]
Trust me, this picture – the idea was better than the execution. Who the hell uses a ball pool as a background!? Anyways – the weekend is prime testing time as far as I am concerned. The fact is most products need time if they are to be tested properly so I try and crack […]
My oh my. I have had quite a busy year, I didn’t think I could top last year in terms of getting married, having a baby and moving house, but 2013 hasn’t exactly been peaceful. With that in mind, I have been on the more unhealthy side of late – I swear I am not […]
It’s speed review time! Here are a few products I have been trying out these last few months and my thoughts on them (I couldn’t think of a more interesting way to put that…) Bumble & Bumble Surf Range I love a bit of Bumble & Bumble and love the fact you can now buy […]
I am not a big buyer of Solo or Single Eyeshadows, because I dislike the fuss of having to find all the colours you want, opening lots of different separate compacts…I like one palette with all the colours I could possibly need. However – it was a long day – we were on a trip […]
I have recently been doing a foundation audit and the amount of bases I have is RIDICULOUS. But I can’t help it…whilst I definitely have some loves (and they are nearly always the pricey ones) I don’t have one Holy Grail foundation that I prize over others because my skin changes, the season changes, my […]
Now that Baby H has hit seven months, I have really found some stand out organic skincare products that I like to use on him; these products are gentle enough for his dry and sensitive skin, are reasonable priced and are organic or at least omit any nasty or potentially allergenic ingredients. I will share […]
I am crazy for neutral toned eyeshadow palettes at the moment; I love having all the colours I need in one place in easy to wear tones. The brand recently released 3 quad palettes. The palette comes in 3 colourfast, Brown Gold for blue eyes, Blue/Grey for brown eyes and Plum for green eyes. […]
Ever end up buying two of something and not realising until it’s too late?! Well this is what happened to me and this Kevin Beautymaker compact – I bought one then got another in the post (blog sale ahoy!). Apart from this annoyance and my obvious lack of memory, this little palette from Kevin […]
Happy Easter, Easter Bunnies! I hope you had a nice one. Today I am talking HAIR. Oh yes. Truth be told, my hair has been a disaster area for quite some time now, due to over processing. Dye – perm – dye – straightening treatment – dye – home straightening treatment – dye – remove […]
A few weeks ago I visited FOUR London to try their Eve Taylor facial, a treatment with a difference because it takes a holistic approach that is‘treating the person as a whole rather than the individual symptom’. What does that actually mean? It means looking at why you’ve got that spot rather than picking at […]
Lip Balm tart that I am, I was pretty excited to get a selection of Carmex’s newest addition to the family in the post. The Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm comes in three variations – clear, pink and peach, and is presented in a skinny stick. It’s far more handy than using a […]
‘I thought we were going to wake up missing a kidney’ said Mr C. No – we hadn’t just been lured by some hot prostitutes into some run down brothel in a third world country – we had just been to a ‘salon’ called Bliss Fish in Greenwich, Landan for a fish pedicure, courtesy of […]
Holika Holika is fast becoming a brand I pay attention to because the products are pretty good, interesting and…well, fun. There aren’t that many fun brands around. Holika Holika Magic Pole mascara is honestly called ‘Magic Pole’ – try not to laugh, and has a very interesting applicator, Half Givenchy, Half Jill Stuart. The packaging […]
Another mascara review today! I got a little sample size of the Trish McEvoy High Volume Jet Black Mascara a while ago and I took this on my flight with me just incase I had an emergency sparse lash situation on the plane. They say: The marriage of Trish’s revolutionary smudge-proof volumizing formula and tiniest-bristled […]
Revlon’s collection for Autumn/Winter is Suede Rhapsody Collection is by Gucci Westman and I have the eye quad, Silver Fox and two of the matte lipsticks to show you! The quad, I have to say screamed at me – I LOVE my green and grey combo palettes – I love any palette with a stand […]
I squeeze in a lot of things when I’m down in London and since I spotted the Wahanda deal for Gielly Green Boutique Salon (I paid £35 for a Haircut and Manicure) I thought – why the hell not! I could do with a trim anyway…. So, where do I start? How about how my […]
The whole IMATS experience was a rather interesting one for me, and although I picked up some bits and pieces and took some photos I didn’t really buy that much… I picked up this Make Up International Face to Face Anti Shine product though – just because I was curious… Used by professional artists in […]
Someone recommended the NYX Doll Eye Mascara to me, so I decided to pick it up for £5 from eBay (seller Mssskel). I generally like NYX a lot – the shadows, liners, jumbo pencils, lipsticks are all excellent. I got the Doll Eye mascara in the waterproof version as these tend to be better for […]
