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
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 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
So I thought it was about time I shared with you a few bits and pieces I got from Laura Mercier recently. The baked eye shadow and the kohl eye pencil were Christmas presents from Mike, which was great as I very nearly bought them whilst I was in San Francisco before Christmas. And the … 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
It’s Wednesday and only two more days until payday so I thought I’d show you what I’m planning to buy come Friday. 1. Blog Inc. by Joy Deangdeelert Cho – £9.98 from Amazon. I feel my blog is in a good place right now and want to make sure I keep it moving in the right … 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
I have to admit I’ve been pretty disappointed with the calibre of products in the January Sales this year. Naturally this didn’t stop me from buying a whole heap of goodies from Space NK. So what was in these little black boxes of joy? Ta Dah! Here’s a closer look at what I bought. I’ve … Continue reading
So I’ve covered off my Favourite Products of 2012 but which were the ones that left me feeling more than a little disappointed? Here are the products of the year that just didn’t work for me. Umberto Giannini Volume Blow Dry Spray – £5.49 from Boots I was willing to overlook the fact that the … Continue reading
It’s hard to believe that it’s the final day of 2012, a time to reflect on the year gone by and the products that have made it great. It was hard to narrow it down to just a handful as there’s been some truly awesome products I’ve discovered this year, however with the exception of … 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
Hello :) The lovely Gem and I are doing a cheeky little guest post swap, once she’s come back from her trip to the states she’ll be doing a US beauty haul post on my blog, so you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for that :) A little bit about me – I’m a … Continue reading
As I mentioned in my Origins Haul post, I have fallen head-over-heels in love with their GinZing eye cream, so much so that I bought a full size pot the very same week my sample arrived. If that doesn’t say something, nothing will! I must admit when it comes to eye creams I always start … Continue reading
After many weeks, several emails, numerous calls and a ranty blog post my Origins order finally arrived! I picked up the fab Brightening Musts set which includes a full size VitaZing moisturiser, 5ml GinZing eye cream and 30ml Modern Friction dermabrasion polish all for just £26 which is less than the price of VitaZing on … 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 have recently been having quite the love affair with Collection (formerly Collection 2000) cosmetics. Somewhere between the glittery eyeliners and the Lasting Perfection concealer (which most definitely rivals my beloved Estee Lauder doublewear) I fell irrevocably in love with this bargain brand. That said it was pure chance that led me to stumble across Collection’s … 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
