I’ll tell you what I want …

… what I really, really want: A can of this: Just one can.  That’s all I want.  But can I find it anywhere?  NO.  Stupid London shops.  Sorry about the earworm, it’s bugging me now too.

Organic Wednesday – Dr Organic

  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, […]

NARS Skorpios and Pop Life Pencils

Mainly thanks to the gorgeous Lipstick Rules  I bought NARS Pop Life Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Liberty yesterday, and while I was there I very graciously allowed the Sales Assistant to convince me to hand over some hard earned cash for the Skorpios Soft Touch Shadow Pencil too … just kidding, the sales assistant was adorable, and very sweetly left me to my own […]

Makeover: Anna

Another Sunday, another makeover … please meet Anna: Anna came to me a couple of weeks ago, wanting to look more polished, and also to see how to create a smokey eye that would suit her beautiful grey-green eyes.  We decided on a neutral brown palette from Pixi to create the look around – I can’t read the name on the packaging anymore, sorry – […]

Eye Makeup Remover Challenge – Pt 1

Even though I use cleansing oils to remove my makeup, it seems I’m still collecting eyemakeup removers at a rate of knots for some reason!  This isn’t entirely a bad thing, as I do love me my full on lashes and liner, even with a “natural” look, and sometimes, you just want those bad-boys OFF! If you’ve ever read my Products I Simply Can’t Live […]

My Mini-Makeover at NARS

Whenever I’m offered a makeover in a department store, I try and take the salespeople up on it, unless the salesperson falls into one of these two categories: a) is wearing black lipliner or b) works for Benefit.  Sorry Benefit ladies, you’re all no doubt wonderful people, but I tend to come away looking like I’ve let a toddler loose on my mush face with […]

Face of the fortnight – as promised!

Sorry about the extreme close up nature of these pics, I’m in the middle of a major hair crisis!  A really major hair crisis … But this is how my Maybelline/Bobbi Brown makeup looks when it’s put together.  I’ve been trialling Lancome Teint Idole, and Clarins Wonder Perfect mascara in this pic too, so expect a post on those later on in the week … […]

Nail of the Day – Mavala Tokyo

There won’t be too many Nail of the Day posts around here for a couple of reasons, the main one being that I’m lousy at applying it, and the other one is that I have truly dreadful nails that don’t grow, and when they do, the second I start to think they’re looking reasonable they start to split, peel, flake and then snap.  It’s very […]
