Guerlain Christmas 2014 – Rouge G “Rouge Parade”

I absolutely cannot resist a limited edition Rouge G. I’ve tried.  I swear I have, but every new collection, another one comes out, and bingo! My handbag gets ever heavier … This year’s Christmas Rouge G is … perfect.  Coated in glossy red lacquer, this is a gloriously bright and seasonally appropriate shade of poinsetta-red. I think I got a bit carried away taking pictures […]

Guerlain Christmas 2014 – Petrouchka Eye and Blush Palette

Inside the rather forbidding oversize lacquered black packaging of the Petrouchka Eye & Blush Palette sits an incredibly pretty compact: Fastened with a red silk bow inspired by the ballerinas who in their turn inspired the scent of Coque D’or, the palette is very pretty indeed.  Again following the red and gold theme of this year’s Guerlain Christmas even the accessories are themed: Inside the […]

Guerlain Christmas 2014 – Mereorites Perles D’Etoile

Christmas isn’t Christmas (yes, I do know it’s October, bear with me) without Guerlain’s limited edition Meteorites.  After what was – for me – the relative disappointment with the design of 2013’s Crazy Paris collection, this year’s Coque d’Or collection is a return back to the beautiful design that I associate with Guerlain’s Christmas collection. The entire collection is themed around gold and red, and […]

Urban Decay Black Eyeliner Collection

To say I like a bit of black eyeliner would be a mild understatement … alongside my red lipsticks, I think a decent black liner would be my desert island item.  Well, alongside a full set of Zelens skincare, and a few bottles of Guerlain that is, but I digress … Anyhoo, I was superhappy when Urban Decay revamped their black eyeliner collection a few […]

Autumnal Tones from Barry M A/W Collection

By Emily I’ve given in. I will no longer shiver because of my bare ankles every morning, I will not shun my cosy coats and thick socks because I refuse to believe it is no longer summer. You know, October. Now that I’ve accepted it, I am ready to embrace all things Autumnal and Wintery – fireworks! Matching gloves and scarves! Bobble hats! Every time […]

Precious Oils: The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil

By Laurin Two weekends ago, I moved house. In the process of flinging my entire life into twenty cardboard boxes, I uncovered several boxes of old photos I’d dragged across the ocean at some point. Baby pictures, holiday snaps, even old pictures of my grandparents looking impossibly glamorous in the 50’s. I have carried these with me since the day fourteen years ago that I […]

Aveda Shampure Body Lotion, Body Wash and Compostition Oil

By Luke There aren’t many of us that haven’t been seduced by at least one of Aveda’s products. With their natural ingredients, and superb scents in just about everything they do, there was a collective sigh of relief when Aveda first arrived on the scene in the UK, as they proved that harsh chemicals and synthetics in hair products were unnecessary for healthy hair. It […]

Lipsticks of the Week

  Ah, Lipstick of the week, it’s been a while, eh?  I assure you, I’ve been wearing just as much lipstick as always, but there’s been no sunlight for pictures for ages!  With the change in the weather recently, autumnal berries and plums have been calling out to me this week, so this is what I’ve been wearing: Boots No7 Soft Ruby Lipstick Queen Saint […]
