Review: NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint
This year’s make-up trend is geared towards au naturale – the look of minimal make-up with hardly any effort. NARS’ newest offering, the Velvet Matte Skin Tint has been described as sitting between a foundation and tinted moisturiser with surprising results. When I applied it for the first time, what I saw immediately convinced me…

Foundation Files: NARS Sheer Glow
NARS Sheer Glow is one I’ve heard a lot of excitable chatter over. The foundation comes in a glass square bottle with the familiar NARS matte finish on the lid but it is on the bulky side so not one to lug around in your travels. I’m shade Syracuse by the way. Exotic, huh? Surprisingly it does…

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.

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…

Green EOTD
*This post was originally a guest post, published on Chic Beauty Blog earlier in the month.* A little while ago, Stina from Chic Beauty Blog set me the challenge to create a green-themed EOTD, featuring Urban Decay’s green glitter gel in Roadie*, which is a forest-green shade, flecked with pieces of yellow glitter.

Nars Spring 2012
I’m very late with this. In fact, I thought at some point that the festive collections for 2012 would be out before I found the time to get blogging again. As you probably can tell, up until this week, it’s been (very old) scheduled post central around here. Blame the January blues. Any way, an antidote…
