Clinique Pop Shop opens underground
Clinique has taken over Piccadilly Circus’s underground station! Yesterday I dropped in at their shiny new pop up shop which has set up camp for two weeks. Its colourful and vibrant presence has brightened up the dull façade of the dreary looking station and you can’t resist not wanting to go in for a snoop.…

Daniel Sandler’s Intense Volume Pro Mascara
Daniel Sandler is such a tease. He’s also very good at keeping schtum. This is pretty much how I would describe waiting for Daniel to drop his bombshell of a mascara that he told me about…ooh, I don’t know exactly when, I just know it was too long ago. To be fair it’s taken five…

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…

A couple of days ago, I posted on the arrival of Tarte to British shores via the vessel that is QVC. Now I’ve had a play with the make-up.

I really enjoyed watching the Bat Woman Inspired Halloween Make-Up look, which uses the risky colour of red as the main theme. Realising the shame that I possess every product Rose uses…

Made over by MakeupAtoZ
Last week I had a wedding to go to. Not just any wedding, mind – a big, fat Asian wedding. I’m always disorganised when it comes to dressing up for Asian marital events because it’s quite a complex procedure in getting ready for one. Jewellery, hair, a blinging outfit and crucially, make-up. Henna on the…

Maybelline Volum’ Express The Rocket mascara
The danger of going to Superdrug for painkillers is loading the basket with make-up often not paramount. It doesn’t help that they are positioned just at the entrance and if your branch is anything like my local, half of the huge store is a labyrinth of cosmetics. One of the items that contributed to my…

Travelling Light
I am going on holiday to Marrakech soon. It will be 7 days in the (here’s hoping for) scorching north African sun, and I am looking forward to getting my first sun tan in almost 18 months. One thing I am determined to do is to minimise on my packing with make-up and beauty products for…
