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 Mr C kindly gifted me a number of Nars palettes, so I have finally had a chance to play with them all and am going to share my swatches and thoughts on each one this week. Each of the Artist palettes are LE, although they do in my experience, take a while to disappear from the official Nars websites. There are ones on there I bought years ago which they told me were LE but are still being sold {Read More}
Tweet Some people prefer lipsticks, some people prefer lip glosses. I am a lover of all lip products so I am easy…but one thing that eludes me is a truly wearable matte lipstick. As a bearer of naturally dry lips, I do struggle with finding a suitable long wearing or/and matte lip product. Everything dries them out. Enter the Burberry Lip Velvet Longwear Lipstick… They say: Burberry innovation brings a new finish for lips: a velvety matte radiance, inspired by {Read More}
Tweet Months and months ago Becca had an online sale and I purchased some loose powder and these Pressed Shimmer Powder Compacts – they are actually due to be discontinued so are still half price at the moment (£15). They say: A delicately fine shimmer powder that lights up the complexion, illuminating darkened areas and lackluster skin and creating a magical glow that emanates from within. I am a real fan of Becca products – I think they have a {Read More}
Tweet With the right lipstick, the right packaging, the right texture, I still get crazy jittery excited. I guess that’s how I know I am a real make up fan – a lipstick can do that to me. When it comes to high end luxury it doesn’t come much more swish then Sisley. Sisley’s Hydrating Long Lasting Lipstick is a highly pigmented, rich, enduring (enduring?!) lip colour. I have this in a very bright L31 Rose Fuchsia which is so {Read More}
Tweet Months ago, before everything in my life went IN YOUR FACE, I was supposed to do a series of posts with Avon Nailwear Pro Polishes that I was sent to review! I never got the chance to finish… Anyway, finally, here are the swatches of all the newer Avon Nailwear colours that I got- all in one place for your convenience! Avon Nailwear Pro in Star:
Tweet Spotted! Were these super cute nail polishes on ASOS. I forget how much I paid for them, less that £10 I think for a set of 3. ASOS has some good deals for POP goodies, they do some value bundles. There are 3 pretty pastel but not boring shades in this set – Ultra Violet, Mint Magic and Pink Popsicle. I like POP nail polishes I find the last ok and are an easy texture to use. I painted {Read More}
Tweet A YouTuber made me do it! Except I can’t remember which one. One with pretty lips. A month or two ago a YouTuber mentioned one of her favourite lip glosses ever is Chanel’s Brilliant Extreme in Giggle. With a name like Giggle, I had to order one (I think Debenhams had 10% off), and I generally have faith that even though I was buying blind, Chanel comes up with the goods. So it arrives and it looks lovely, as {Read More}
