A face-lift for John Lewis’s new beauty hall
Yesterday Helen and I were taken on a personal tour of John Lewis’s multi-million pound new beauty hall at their flagship store on Oxford Street and what an experience it turned out to be. Costing over £7 million to revamp and a whopping 18,000 square feet of retail space, if heaven is all bright white…

Chanel Particuliere
Can you believe that this nail varnish was originally released in December 2009? I honestly don’t know where the time goes. You can read my original review of Particuliere here, but WordPress seems to have eaten my photos of it. So put the two together and you’ve got the full review! I wanted to revisit…

Chanel Magnolia Rose
I don’t really review a lot of Chanel on here. I know that people love it, and it always sells out whenever they release a new polish, but for me? Not so much. Its hefty price tag, plus poor staying power just makes me wonder what the point is? I mean, it’s not like joe…

Chanel Rouge Noir
Where do you even begin to review such a cult classic. Which even came first? Pulp Fiction, or Rouge Noir? I genuinely don’t know! I know we’ve just had OPI Burlesque, Shrek & Alice In Wonderland, but whenever I think of nail varnish in the movies, this is automatically the first one I think of.…

Chanel Illusion D’Ombre Fantasme
So a couple of days ago, I showed you Graphite, the nail varnish that I picked up from Chanel’s Autumn/Winter collection. The nail polish lovers among you are going to have to bear with me at this point, as most of the fuss about this collection wasn’t in fact about the nail varnish, but was…

We’ve been seeing pictures and images of the collection since June, and now it’s time to have a look at one of the nail polishes in the flesh. Despite swearing that I would never purchase another…

Chanel Kaleidoscope
Good morning everyone. I’m in a good mood today. That’s what happens when you listen to the Glee soundtrack on the way to work. I know some of you may disagree (looking at no-on in particular) but I think there is nothing wrong with a little musical theatre on the way to work. So, for…

Some Paradoxal comparisons
Firstly, apologies for the delay here. This post was requested some time ago. The weekend just gone marked the first one since we returned from our honeymoon where I haven’t attended a wedding or a hen party. We’re back on the wedding circuit again on Saturday so it’s not over yet – still two more to…

Chanel Paradoxal
Today I am breaking my every-other-day posting schedule to bring you something very special indeed. Cast your eyes on (my new, shorter nails, and) Chanel’s latest offering, Paradoxal. Paradoxal is currently only available in the US (due here in the UK in October) so this little gem was sent to me by the lovely Beauty…
