  • Summer lovin’ from Bourjois

    Summer lovin’ from Bourjois

    Summer is definitely here with the days getting hotter and the nights stickier and as we’re set for a heatwave this week, I thought I would take the opportunity to show off Bourjois’ latest seasonal offerings*. This little collection is sorbet and pastel inspired, colours to cool off as the sun toasts your tan. Among…

  • Illamasqua Gel Sculpt & Gel Colour

    Illamasqua Gel Sculpt & Gel Colour

    By now you’ll know I am not one to echo the whole Emperor’s Clothes thing when something is unnecessarily hyped up just because the majority say so. Fortunately with Illamasqua, I go all Ron Burgundy and want to ‘shout it from the top of a mountain’. That is pretty much how I feel about their…

  • Clinique: Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour & Highlighter

    Clinique: Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour & Highlighter

    Clinique’s much talked about Chubby Stick Contouring Duo has been dubbed the easiest way to give you instant cheekbones and once you give this a go, you’ll ask yourself why the whole prospect seemed so terrifying in the first place. Contouring is not a new thing but it’s certainly become more mainstream lately. It’s a look (and…

  • INIKA Mineral Blush Peachy Keen

    INIKA Mineral Blush Peachy Keen

    INIKA’s mineral blush in Peachy Keen is a new favourite. It’s a name new to me but speaking to fellow beauty bloggers, the verdict on Inika is a good one. Reading about INIKA I was surprised to learn half of the product range is certified organic and the other half comprises of 100% pure mineral…

  • YouTube video: What’s In My Handbag?

    Happy belated Christmas! I hope you’ve had a good one. Well here’s a surprise (or shock for you): a new YouTube video. I got together with my good friend, Helen (Casual Beauty UK) to film a ‘What’s in my handbag’ video. Apparently it’s a very popular kind of YouTube video amongst bloggers (or should that…

  • Illamasqua: Once

    There are two things to be happy about: it’s Friday and Illamasqua’s new collection Once* is out today. Three new products define Once with a blusher – Naked Rose reissued from the 2012 Naked Strangers collection but there isn’t a lipstick in sight. Instead the main focus is on the eyes (always my favourite part…

  • New launches from By Terry & Terry de Gunzburg

    Five years of blogging and you would think I’ve seen my fair share of beauty products yet half a decade on, some things cross my path that give me a buzz. By Terry is one of them. Today I had a sneak peek at the new launches from By Terry hosted by the great lady herself,…

  • Makeup Revolution

    OK, I have been sucked into the vortex of Makeup Revolution. I tried to resist but the force was too great to battle against. When will I ever learn? In the last month or so news of this too-good-to-be-true new make-up range has been sending ripples through social media between beauty bloggers and it’s a PR’s…

  • Big fat Asian wedding

    Weddings are fun but big fat Asian weddings are something else – bold, bright and larger than life. I make no apologies for being bias here – Asian weddings blow other nuptials out of the water. Outfits are colourful and sparkly and make-up and hair is on point. This Easter I saw my friend tie the…
