Milani is one of the few brands that our yankee counterparts get to enjoy the exclusivity on. Us UK bloggers can only drool at the gorgeous baked blushes that frequent our screens and hope that we can save up enough money for a plane fare across the pond for our chance to raid the likes of CVS, Duane Reed and Target. That’s exactly what I did on a recent trip…
I have absolutely been loving wearing warmer tones on the eye and have become a little bit obsessed with wearing warmer tones of browns, the part of the spectrum that veers towards red as opposed to my preferred neutral, more ashy tinged browns. I have been enjoying wearing the ‘enhance’ shade from the Charlotte Tilbury the Dolce Vita Luxury Eye Palette, a fiery, satin brown, teamed with the ‘smoke’ shade with…
Travelling around asia, I was exposed to a whole host of Japanese and asian brands that it was really, rather overwhelming. As well as getting my mitts on some of Japan’s best selling drugstore/highstreet mascaras (Battle of the Best Japanese Highstreet/Drugstore Mascara review here) whilst I was galavanting across South East Asia, I was keen to try out some of the brands that weren’t available east of the pacific. I mean where…
You don’t even know the pain I went through to put this video together. I was really chuffed with the filming which I had done in advance only to find that when I sat down to edit it a couple weeks later, the first video was missing. And I had deleted it off of the camera. Major ball-ache. So I decided to film the missing clip again which was the…
Chanel have reformulated an existing line of lipsticks and launched it with a big bang. Well of course. It’s Chanel. Having not tried the previous Rouge Coco formulation, I was very intrigued especially as the range showcases a strong lineup with 29 new shades. Wow! I stumbled upon the new range in John Lewis whilst out shopping today, and with Kiera Knightley as the face of Chanel, I…
I've finally accumulated enough products to warrant filming a 'Product Empties' video. I never usually finish products around the same time and have always ended up tossing out the packaging hence why I've never had any products to film one of these videos. But this time I've purposely saved everything up and if my boyfriend thought that I was a hoarder before......he's in for a treat if he sees this video.…
During a spur of the moment lunch time walk to check out the lunch time offerings around my new office, I somehow ended up in Superdrug and leaving a few quid lighter in the pocket. Yes I've been naughty but drugstore purchases don't really count right? Or so I tell myself. I got overly excited when I saw the '3 for 2' and 'Buy One Get One Half Price' offers…
Doesn't it seem like the days just go by that much faster as you age? It only feels like yesterday filming my January Beauty favourites yet here I am again with another video and all the fab products I have been enjoying this past month of February. The end of February always makes me happy because it means that it's officially Spring time! Woo hoo!Products mentioned in this video:Charlotte Tilbury…
It was as if my recent Charlotte Tilbury haul hadn’t happened and before I knew it, I was up early one weekend and hovering outside the Mac store in Carnaby street, 15 minutes before the store was even open. I should have possibly taken that as a sign (not to go into the store) but instead I decided to pop into Boots a few doors down to kill time. Apparently…
So I went a lil cray recently and may have bought the entire Charlotte Tilbury collection. OK slight exaggeration but still, I’ve had to ban myself from makeup shopping for the next couple of months. Considering her collection has been out for some time now, I’ve managed to hold back and only ever purchased 3 shades of the Rock n Kohl liner. At £19 a pop, they ain’t cheap. But…
If you’ve been around these sides before, you may know that I am a big fan of Zoeva brushes. If you have never had the pleasure of using them before, let me tell you that they are great value for money. Their range includes a selection of natural goat hairs and synthetic taklon fibres, and both kinds are really soft on the skin. I have quite a few brushes from them…
Seeing as I did a review of this palette in my last post, I thought it was only fair that I show you the product in action, seeing that it has pretty much been my go-to palette since I got it. So if you want to see the three easy looks I created with the palette, then press that big red play button. Enjoy! Products featured in this video: Nars…
This may have been released almost exactly a year ago today but I’ve not managed to get my mitts on this beauty. Until now. And low and behold, it’s even more beautiful in the flesh. The eyeshadow palette consists of 15 shades which are a mix of mattes and buttery shimmers, and also a perfect mix of warm and cool tones. There is a shade for in this palette. Let’s…
It feels like only yesterday that I filmed my Beauty Favourites of 2014 but here we are again with another round of fab beauty products that have been serving me well for the last few weeks. I always seem to think that I won’t have any different products to talk about but just by retracing my steps, I will always find different products or even have new poducts that I’ve…
I hope this doesn’t sound too big headed of me but I’ve always been grateful that I have relatively good skin. Whilst others may be blessed with big, voluminous hair or long, strong nails, or naturally curled, gravity-defying lashes, I’ve always had the most compliments about my skin. I do think it’s more genetics than anything else but that doesn’t stop me blowing my wages on good skincare products and foundation. Sure…
I hadn’t planned on creating a series but sometimes opportunities only reveal themselves once you’ve taken the first step. Don’t worry, I’m not about to get all philosophical on you now but if you haven’t read my ‘7 Perfect Nudes…‘ or my ‘7 Perfect Pinks…‘, be sure to check them out. Maybe you’re just interested in finding out my lipstick nominations for the perfect red that work well to compliment…
