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
Rummaging through my stash at the weekend it struck me how similar Nars Orgasm is to Sleek Rose Gold, in fact the only real difference I can find between the two is the price. Packaging wise they both come in matte black packaging with an internal mirror although the Nars packaging feels a lot more … Continue reading
So I may have had a sneaky second haul in Topshop. This time I picked up the Up in the Air blush duo and the eye cream duo in Wave Machine, both from the Louise Gray for Topshop collection. Up until now I haven’t been that interested in any of the make-up offerings from Topshop, but … Continue reading
For the final part of my Ski-centuals series I thought I’d show you what I took with me on our recent ski trip. When you’re out in the elements it’s essential to keep your skin both protected and hydrated. Which is exactly what these products are great at doing. Boots Essentials Cucumber Cleansing Wipes – … Continue reading
I feel like I’ve been out of the loop when it comes to MAC collections recently. Though that’s probably not a bad thing given my propensity to purchase anything with the limited edition tag for fear of non-buying remorse as soon as it’s hard to track down. But not this time. When it came to … Continue reading
Even if you’re not hitting the slopes this season, lip balms are an absolute saviour if you want soft, supple lips in the Winter. Here’s a selection of 5 of the best lip balms I’ve found. Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast – £1.75 from Superdrug Great for those who like sweet, fruity lip balms but don’t … Continue reading
I’ve decided to break this down into two parts as I had no idea how many nail polishes I’d bought until I came to re-pack my suitcase for the trip home. Mike’s face was a picture when he saw me unpack them all! So anyway, here’s my make up haul from CVS and Walgreens. I … Continue reading
Whenever I hear of a 3 for 2 offer on make-up at Superdrug my purse begins to quiver in fear. Thankfully, this little splurge was from the purse-friendly MUA range. I was really impressed with their powder blusher in Shade 6, so I went back to grab Shade 3 and Shade 5. As mentioned in … Continue reading
There’s nothing better than a make-up haul, except perhaps when said make-up haul comes to the grand total of £4.00. Which is just the kind of haul I had when I popped into our new look Superdrug last week. As someone with almost non-existent eyebrows, the pro-brow eyebrow kit was a must have, especially when … Continue reading
I think it’s safe to say that a lot of you stumbling across my blog for the first time recently have done so because of my swatches of Mac’s Crew Highlighter from the Hey, Sailor! collection. Personally, I’ve not been a big fan of this collection as the two items I wanted to get ended up … Continue reading
Here is the last in my series of reviews on the Sleek Blush by 3 range. If you’ve missed my review of Lace or Sugar you can find them here and here. Those of you who’ve read my blog for a while will know I’m not one to go on about packaging as lets face … Continue reading
What do Mac’s Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle and Accessorize’s Merged Eyeshadow in Golden Caramel have in common? Admittedly on paper these two products are completely different. One is a highlighter and the other is an eyeshadow but when swatched these two become one. Can you spot the difference? Ok, so they’re not … Continue reading
It’s a new month which must mean yet another Mac collection launch! Thankfully this time round there’s not a lot I’m lusting after, though no doubt as soon as something sells out I’ll be hunting high and low for it. As far as collections go this one is HUGE! Featuring Lipsticks, Lipglasses, Suntints, Blushes, … Continue reading
Here is the second in my series of reviews of the Sleek Blush by 3 range. If you missed my review of the Lace palette you can find it here. I almost didn’t buy this blush palette when I saw it as the image on the Sleek website makes it look way darker than it actually … Continue reading
When I first spotted the new Blush by 3 range from Sleek I just knew I had to have a few of the palettes. So fittingly, here is the first of 3 reviews. Out of the 3 blush palettes I purchased Lace was the one I wanted the most. Bright and summery, it looked ideal for summer days … Continue reading
