So, I’m back in the land of the lap-topped, and I couldn’t be more relieved! I’ll do a more full review of IMATS later (I enjoyed it, but I have some serious reservations about how it was organised, to be honest) but I wanted to show these little babies off, as I think they might be my new very favourite things … Here’s the skinny: […]
Q: Why is the beach wet? A: Because the sea weed! Look, it’s the first Organic Wednesday since Christmas, that’s my only excuse for the terrible joke, I think I accidentally memorised my nephew’s 101 Terrible Jokes book over the break! Luckily, this week’s products aren’t terrible, and I just hope Voya – a family run Irish company who specialise in luxurious seaweed based products […]
This shimmering metallic taupe/pewter was a limited edition from Chanel in 2008, the above pic shows two coats over a Seche base and with a Seche Vite top coat. Application is smooth with no streaking, but as it’s a metallic you do tend to get visible brush marks. As for the colour – I’m not sure I like it, there were lots of raves about […]
I think I may have gone a little sale-crazy over Christmas, but there were some amazing bargains around! I was in Fenwicks last week, and picked up four Paul and Joe eyeshadows for about five pounds each! I love the packaging, they remind me of chocolate coins! Here’s the colours I picked (with flash and without): From left to right, there are shades 94 […]
I don’t give things wonder product status very often – I’m fickle, and I get bored of products very, very easily. Certainly, if I can’t see results from a product within a short time, then I stop using them, and, expecially when it comes to my nails, I’m lazy, so if I have to use a product, say, more than a couple of times […]
Courtesy of the lovely, lovely LondonMakeUpGirl these arrived today, and I’m delighted! I’d ordered two eyeshadows and a blush a couple of weeks ago, and after a slight snafu with the order courtesy of the Ellis Faas online shop (which was very quickly and most courteously sorted, bless their cotton socks!) it’s taken a while for them to get here. I love the entire ethos behind […]
Now, I don’t know about you, but I find the thought of trying out a new hair salon pretty terrifying, I’ve been known to hang around outside salons for ages trying to pluck up the courage to actually walk in and make an appointment! As a result, it’s entirely possible I don’t visit the hairdresser as often as I might. Now, when you consider […]
So, a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned lip balms and asked for some suggestions for new ones. I really shouldn’t be asking for recommendations, as a bit later on that day I went to my lip balm drawer (what, you mean you don’t have a drawer devoted purely to lip balm?) and found these babies. Actually, the pic above shows only some of the […]
It’s the final week of my eye makeup remover challenge! The contenders are: Talika (100ml £12.72) – winner of last week’s high-end challenge, and Amie (125ml £4.75), the winner of the cheap and cheerful contest the week before. Both removers fared extremely well with my every day makeup, so this week, I’ve made it a bit more difficult. The Challenge: This is a version of […]
A couple of months ago, I was lucky enough to meet with, and have a facial from, the lovely Madhvi at Elemental Herbology, and I was delighted by the results at the time. I was so delighted that I’ve been trying to replicate the results ever since with this little kit here. About the company: “Elemental Herbology was founded by Kristy Goodger, a spa consultant […]
So, here is part two of my eye makeup remover challenge! Last week, in the cheap and cheerful round, I tried Boots Botanics and Amie makeup removers, and Amie won. This week, I’ll be testing Talika and Chanel (my own personal favourite!) make up removers against one another. Whichever one wins this round will challenge Amie cleanser next week, and be declared the champion of […]
Or … “Tell ’em about the hunny, mummy …” No, I haven’t (yet) lost my marbles, but there are two products to review this week, and the above quote will make sense when I get to the second one. I hope! The Background: The company says: “Dr Organic utilise only the finest natural and organic raw materials wherever possible. Sourced from around the world, […]
