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

Solestruck review and Jeffrey Campbell Buttermilk Lita reveal
For months I’ve had my eye on a pair of Buttermilk suede Jeffrey Campbell Litas, but every time I’ve looked online they’ve been completely out of stock. Thankfully I’m not a girl who gives up easily and about a month ago my patience was rewarded by US shoe site, Solestruck, who proudly proclaimed the shoe … Continue reading
Primark Neon Nail Varnish Collection – Review
Last weekend I made the exciting discovery that my JC Litas had finally arrived from the US (I’ll be doing a review of them and the company I used soon), unfortunately they were a 35 minute drive away and I was without a car. To make matters worse the depot was closing in an hour … 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! Collection Lipstick Swatches
If you’re still not sold on the latest Mac collection, Hey, Sailor! worry not. I’ve swatched some of the collection to help you decide which items deserve a seat at the captain’s table and which should be thrown back to sea. So far I’ve covered off the Powder Blushes and the Crew Highlighter so take a peek if you’ve … 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
Candle Scandal – How Not To Do Customer Service By The Scented Candle Store
I’ve held off on writing this post as I had hoped things would have been easily resolved months ago. Sadly this hasn’t been the case, so I wanted to write this to warn others about The Scented Candle Store and the poor customer service they provide. Usually my rule of thumb when purchasing items on … 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
Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Refreshing Gel-Cream with Peach – First Impression
Every time Spring rolls around I begin the transformation from Winter hibernation to Summer beach babe. Now usually this involves me grabbing my pot of St Ives Invigorating All Over Body Scrub (which I swear by), defuzzing my legs and then slathering on whichever moisturiser takes my fancy in the shops. This year that moisturiser was … 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
Sleek Blush by 3 Lace Palette Review
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
Bioderma H2O Micellaire Solution Review
I think it’s safe to say every beauty blogger has written a post about bioderma at some point, to be honest that’s why I’ve always avoided writing one myself. Recently though I’ve found myself getting quite a bit of traffic from people looking for Bioderma reviews and being the kind of girl who just hates … Continue reading
Dr Jart+ Water Fuse BB Beauty Balm Review
One of the things I love most about trips to the states is the chance to pick up hard to find beauty products, and last year’s trip to San Francisco was no exception. Usually I intend to write a Haul post as soon as I’m home, but generally real life gets in the way resulting in … Continue reading
It’s not me, it’s you! My short-lived affair with an IT bag
I’m not sure I’m quite at the stage where people visit my blog on a daily basis, but those of you who may have swung by yesterday will remember my excitement at the arrival of my new Zara bag, the Tan Plaited Shopper. If you missed the post it looks something like this… Sadly after … Continue reading
Review: Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Cream Wash
Recently we’ve been making a conscious effort to use up any half-used toiletries in an attempt to make our house move in March a little more manageable. That said, there was one product I was hoping would last until the next Boots £5 voucher offer came about. Alas, I ran out of my beloved The … Continue reading
