Lifesaving Lipstick?

Might seem a silly question, but some products can help save lives.  This lipstick is brought to us by All For Eve a brand new beauty brand who are donating all their profits to help fund research into gynaecological cancers.  So, not only will this lipstick help you look good, it will do good too.  I’m posting this tonight, as I’ve been really pleased and […]

Highlighters that double as blushers

When I was featuring (some of) my highlighter stash recently, I mentioned that I owned a few that doubled up as blushers, and I thought I’d show you those too. If you’ve followed my makeovers in any great detail, then at least one of these will be very familiar to you! This is my Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strips in Natural Glow which I won in […]

Makeover: Helen S

 Gosh, it’s been a few weeks since I posted a makeover, I’m really sorry! I hope you’ll all make Helen very welcome, she’s a great friend of mine, and we’ve been makeup shopping A Lot over the years. Mainly because it took me a very long time to cure Helen of her frosted mauve lipstick fetish …. Here she is, all fresh-faced, and only slightly […]

Guerlain Summer Editions

Oh, I love Guerlain, I love how their powders are always delicately scented with violets, which somehow makes the products feel more genteel and otherworldly, ladylike, I guess. Speaking of ladylike, their summer editions are something rather special too:  Bad beauty blogger alert – I’m a dingbat, and forgot to take off the plastic cover that protects the eyeshadows!   Guerlain are famous for their bronzers, […]

Clarins Instant Sunlight Quad

I popped into Debenhams last week for some shampoo, and I got myself distracted by some of the new summer collections that have come out.  Clarins in particular, really caught my eye, and I really liked the look of this eyeshadow palette: I’m always a sucker for a slinky silver compact – not entirely convinced about the suedette pochette, to be honest – but the […]

Highlighters – Pressed Powders

Whoo, got here eventually!  Now, pressed powders are my favourite kind of highlighters, I just find them easier to apply, and they’re more forgiving when you accidentally overapply.  first off, let’s take a look at a highlighter I recently rediscovered as a result of my rummaging: Trish McEvoy Blush Highlight: Oh, this is a pretty one.  Yes, it’s a bit sparkly in the pan, but […]

Great Customer Service?

Let’s face it, sometimes beauty counters aren’t places where we can particularly expect good customer service, are they?  From the pushy-pushy OFLs (Orange-Faced Ladies), to the OFLs who treat you like a criminal for daring to even look at their products, to the OFLs who just want to “warm you up a little”,  and then there are the ones who just ignore you and chat […]

Organic Wednesday – Jurlique

I first discovered Jurlique about ten years ago, after getting myself a nasty bruise whilst on a trip to Brisbane.  My host smothered the affected area with their arnica cream, and I’ve been interested in the brand ever since.  Once exceptionally difficult to find in the UK, their products are becoming easier to track down over here these days, which is a good thing as […]

Highlighters – loose powders

Following on from yesterday’s post, here’s some loose powder highlighters I have.  To be fair, there’s only two, but there is a reason for that, as we’ll see: Revlon Skinlights highlighter: I’m not sure if this one is still available or not, but it’s one I’m not that fond of, being a bit, well, gravelly, and exceedingly glittery. A little bit of it does go […]
