So I’ve already shared my top products of 2013 so it seems only fair to keep the balance and share with you the products that in my opinion didn’t live up to expectations. Dr Jart+ Pore Refine Recover Primer – £18 I’m a huge fan of Dr Jart and up until this product the brand … Continue reading
It’s belatedly that time of year again when I share with you the products that made 2013 great. As it’s a new year I’m not going to bore you by repeating the products that featured in my top beauty products of 2012 as whilst they’re great and all if you wanted to read about the products … Continue reading
Given I’m not a fan of the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser this is reportedly a dupe of I must admit I had pretty low expectations for Superdrug’s Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser (boy that’s a name and a half!). That said when I spotted it on offer for less than … Continue reading
I’m a sucker for new brands so when the ladies at Lily Lolo got in touch to ask if I’d like to try something from their new Classics & Metallics Collection I just couldn’t say no. I opted for the Molten Bronze eye shadow quad, a gorgeous selection of shimmering metal-inspired hues that will look equally … Continue reading
Whilst I’m a complete scaredy cat when it comes to going to the hairdressers (honestly I thought it’s only men that have an issue with how long an inch is!) I am a huge fan of those little L’Oreal power shot treatments that you get in salons, so when I heard of L’Oreal EverRiche Perfect … Continue reading
Ever since I saw Charlotte’s too good to be true review of the original HealGel (back before the change in packaging) I’ve wanted to put it through its paces. So when the kind folks over at HealGel asked if I’d be interested in trying a few of their products I leapt at the chance. Aside … Continue reading
I’m a huge fan of cream blushes so as soon as I heard Bourjois were launching a range of cream blushers I just had to find out more. It’s surprising that after almost 150 years Bourjois haven’t already created a cream blush, but hey, better late than never! The range currently comes in four colours … Continue reading
*UPDATED* as of 31/10/13 Being the cool kid I am I’ve spent the first half of the bank holiday weekend getting our house neat and tidy. I’ve even finally tackled the mess that was my make up stash which is great news for me as I can now find everything easily and even greater news … Continue reading
So sorry for the delay on my day 2 post, tetchy Tuesday left me so tired I was crawling into bed as soon as I’d had my last juice of the day. On the whole I didn’t find Tuesday too bad. Jason had warned us of withdrawal headaches and whilst by mid-afternoon I had a … Continue reading
I’m forever lusting over the stunning nail art some of my fellow beauty blogger manage to achieve and wishing I could replicate them. Unfortunately no matter how detailed the tutorial I just never manage to recreate their beautiful designs as I’m just so mal-coordinated when it comes to painting my nails that I only just … Continue reading
I recently received an email from the team at Best British Bloggers telling me that MoneySupermarket were running a competition to win £1000 to put towards your Spring/Summer wardrobe. All you had to do was create three separate looks inspired by this year’s styles and trends and each look could cost no more than £200. … Continue reading
Excuse the slightly battered box on this one, my postie was clearly having a bit of a bad day when he delivered this little package. Anyway, I’ve been using REN’s Clearcalm 3 Clarity Restoring Mask* for a few months now and thought it was about time I shared my thoughts with you. When the kind … Continue reading
A few weeks ago we headed up to Bicester Village in Oxford to do a bit of pre-birthday/pre-wedding shopping. It was a hugely successful trip which saw me picking up bridesmaid dresses for all 4 of my awesome ladies as well as finally finding the wedding shoes of my dreams. Mikey also managed to get … Continue reading
I have to say after last month’s mammoth empties post I thought this month’s would be a rather short but sweet affair. How wrong I was! Here’s what I’ve used up this month. Forlle’d Hyalogy P-Effect Clearance Cleansing and Re-Purerance Wash* When an ad for Forlle’d popped up on my Facebook feed I just knew it … Continue reading
Today the folks at Benefit launched their awesome new Fake Up concealer. Earlier this week I blogged about the launch party where I learnt about what sets Fake Up apart from other concealers, and after putting all three shades through their paces over the last two weeks I thought it was about time I reviewed them. I love the … Continue reading
Last week the lovely ladies over at Benefit invited me down to their Covent Garden store for the launch of Fake Up, a brand new multi-purpose hydrating concealer that hits stores on March 30th. What makes Fake Up different from other concealers is its hydrating ring containing Vitamin E and Apple Seed Extract to leave … Continue reading
It’s that time of the month, the one week of the month where I’m best left to my own devices, sadly the same can’t be said of my skin which seems to be in a state of meltdown right now. Now there’s only two things to do in a situation like this, panicking wasn’t an … Continue reading
I’m usually not a huge fan of Barry M nail polish but as soon as I spotted these beauties I was converted. I mean just look at those colours, they just scream springtime! Lychee is a beautifully milky cream with a hint of taupe. I think this colour would be universally flattering no matter the … Continue reading
It’s my birthday in a few weeks time and being the subtle little creature I am I thought I’d share with you the goodies that are on my birthday wishlist. Mike, Mum, Nana take note ;) 1. HealGel Face – £48 from HealGel 2. Polaroid X800E 8MP Waterproof Digital Camera – £39.99 from Amazon UK … Continue reading
It’s no secret that I am was a huge fan of MUA and their great quality products and cheap and cheerful prices but recently it’s begun looking like their products come with a much bigger cost. I kept relatively quiet during their 50% off sale despite being one of the many, many customers who had payment … Continue reading
