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

Review – Nivea Express Hydration Primer
I like to think I’m fairly immune to advertising, but when the advert for Nivea Express Hydration Primer appeared on my TV I just knew I had to have it. And when I then discovered it was just £3.99 (RRP. £4.99) in Superdrug, I just knew it was meant to be! But was it worth … Continue reading
MUA haul – Pro-Brow Kit and Blush in Shade 6
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
Boots 17 Holographic Nail Polish Swatches
Fear not if you didn’t manage to grab Gosh’s Holographic Hero Nail polish before it sold out, Boots has come to the rescue with their Holo Silver nail polish from 17. Not only is this polish identical to Holographic Hero, it’s also less than half the price at just £3.99. Just check this baby out… … Continue reading
Collection (2000) Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Eyeliner Review
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
Mac Hey, Sailor! Collection Powder Bronzers – Pro Longwear & Bronzing Powder Swatches
You may not be able to rely on the sun for that bronzed look at the moment, but that’s no reason to be looking pasty. With a range of 4 bronzers in the latest Mac collection there should be a bronzer for all skin tones. The bronzers are split into two camps, Bronzing Powder and … Continue reading
Mac Hey, Sailor! Powder Blush Swatches – Launch Away! & Fleet Fast
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
Sleek Blush by 3 Pumpkin Palette Review
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
Recession Busting Beauty – Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Dupe
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
Mac Hey, Sailor! Crew Highlight Powder Swatch
Usually I’m not keen on swatch and runs as I like to think that if I’m going to write about a product I’m pretty passionate about it and part of that passion is demonstrated by buying the product. Unfortunately today, that’s not the case. Well actually I set out with good intentions. Having given up all … Continue reading
Ahoy there! Sail away with Mac’s Hey, Sailor! Collection
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
Sleek Blush by 3 Sugar Palette Review
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
