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

Duped – Nars Orgasm vs. Sleek Rose Gold Blush
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
Swatched – MUA Pro-Base Conceal & Brighten Kit in Porcelain
You can probably tell by now that I’m super rubbish when it comes to not spending money. I had every intention of popping into Superdrug purely to pick up some much needed Lemsip during the week. Instead I left with a few new goodies from MUA and a couple of my favourite Simple cleanser which happened … Continue reading
Forgotten Favourites – Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick in Troublant (29)
Right, as part of my 2013 blogging resolutions I said I was going to make an effort to create more series features, so starting this week I’ll be writing a weekly Forgotten Favourites post each Friday. Each week I’ll be sharing with you some of my favourite products from the depths of my beauty stash. That’s … Continue reading
Swatched – MAC Après Chic Collection Stereo Rose Mineralize Skinfinish (MSF)
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
GOSH Galaxy Holographic Nail Polish Swatches
When I spotted GOSH Galaxy nail polish on the shiny new display stand in Superdrug I just knew it had to be mine. Partly because I was worried that it would be sold out if I thought on it, but mainly because I have nothing like it in my collection. Isn’t it purdy? From … 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
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
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
