Review – Andrew Barton Salon Covent Garden

I’ve been a bit obsessed with hair this year, I can’t deny it. I’ve had four visits to different salons since Christmas (which is at least three more than usual, I’m notorious for leaving it far too long between visits), and, hand on heart, there’s only one of them I’d definitely go back to.  And that is this one. I was invited along for a […]

Review – Armani Blushing Fabric Second Skin Blush

I first had a sneaky peek at these a couple of months ago when BritishBeautyBlogger kindly let me swatch her sample, and I was lucky enough to be sent a couple too just recently. Not ordinarily a massive fan of blusher (I’m much more an eye and lip product kind of girl), these are gorgeous, and I’ve enjoyed using them a lot. Weightless owing to […]

Creative Heads Most Wanted Awards 2010

A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by Creative Head magazine and invited to be a judge of one of their “Most Wanted” awards. It’s a massive honour (other judges this year include both John Frieda and Andrew Collinge, amongst a load more respected people both from inside and outside the industry, sadly, I don’t have a full list to hand), and it’s an […]

Mr Lippie Reviews: Guerlain Homme L’Eau

Back again, with a new scent that GetLippie and I are currently arguing about…. Guerlain Homme’s L’eau comes in a chunky translucent bottle that looks somewhat ominous, on first viewing. It’s big, angular, and has a GINORMOUS spray nozzle that just dares you to press it. Once you get over that, however, the scent itself is actually quite light. It’s ever-so-slightly lemony, but there are […]

Organic Weekend – Pat & Rub

I’m featuring another one of my finds from the Natural and Organic Product Show this weekend, Pat & Rub Relaxing Hand Balm. This is what P&R say about their products: The plant ingredients that make up our recipes are responsibly cultivated, unprocessed and 100% natural. They contain none of the following, found in many skincare products: mineral oil and other petroleum derivative: paraffin and vaselin […]

Ellis Faas: Ellis Eyes Lights Eyeshadows.

My birthday treat to myself was a trip to Liberty to have a look around the Le Metier de Beaute counter, and play with the Ellis Faas eyeshadows. I love me some Ellis Faas, and I was delighted when I discovered that she’s recently introduced a new range of shadows to go alongside her Milky and Creamy shadows (you can see my post about those […]

Quick Birthday FOtD

Excuse the stupid look on my face, currently I’m *bemused* by Argos’ customer service, but thought you might like a sneaky peek at the makeup I’m wearing, and my new hairdo! Once again I’m wearing the Estee Lauder/Tom Pecheux Blue Dahlia palette on my eyes (taupe as a colour wash, tiny amount of black smudged in the crease, tightlined with teal, and lined with the […]

Review – Skin.NY Skincare

Remember this post? I had a little rant about the Utter Drivel that was written on the boxes, then said I’d be trying the creams out for six weeks, so I could see if they would turn me into Ava Gardner overnight.  Well, 28 nights, but you catch my drift … Well, I signed up to try them for six weeks, but I am here […]
