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
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
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
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
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 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
Having sussed out my local MAC counter was one of the only ones left with all the Strength collection lipsticks in stock I hot footed it there for a spot of light swatching. I’d had my eye on Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot and fully expected they would be joining my already bursting collection of … Continue reading
I’m loving Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquer right now. So much so that I just couldn’t help myself from stocking up on another three colours in the Boots 3 for 2 offer. Unfortunately Nude Eclipse was still out of stock in the three Boots stores I looked in so I purchased Stellar, Apocalyptic and Nova instead. I had … 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
To be honest I’d totally forgotten I even had these bad boys until I spotted them this morning whilst tidying the kitchen. In fact if I’m totally honest they nearly ended up in the bin until I realised they’re actually valid until tomorrow. If you shop at Boots I’m almost certain you have some of … Continue reading
Yesterday the much hyped Apocalips lip lacquer from Rimmel finally hit the shops. I’d intended to hold off on buying them until Friday when I get paid, but when I spotted Boots were running a 3 for 2 offer on them I thought it’d be rude not to buy a couple of them on the … 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

Each week I’ll be sharing with you some of my favourite products from the depths of my beauty stash. That’s … 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
As the title suggests, I just wanted to do one final round up post to share with you the bloggers I’ve been reading the most this year. If you want to see a full list of the bloggers I love please check out my Blogroll. Favourite Lifestyle Blogger – The Londoner Not only is Rosie … Continue reading
I don’t know about you but as soon as December comes around I develop an almost instant love of all things glittery, and these bad boys were no exception. Formerly Collection 2000, Collection have found a big place in my heart this year providing great quality cosmetics at purse-friendly prices. The Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel … Continue reading
I’d heard such great things about the Perricone MD No Concealer Concealer but always been put off by the price. I mean let’s face it, £37 for a concealer is more than a little steep, particularly when you see the size of the bottle. However when I spotted it in Sephora for $39 I soon … Continue reading
