Love, love, love! Make Up For Ever Smoky palette is going to be a favourite of mine for a long, long time. When I first saw the palette I thought it looked quite small but upon opening I oohed and aahed like nobody’s business. There is no filler in this palette, just poor beauty. There are...

I have been using Isa Dora’s new mascara Big Bold for the past 3 weeks. I won’t beat around the bush – it’s great. What I liked most: The volume – huge lashes! It’s also buildable. Quickness – One coat and out the door. Yes, really. No waiting for...

I promised a video on my my mac neutral palette months ago. I’m only just getting around to it now. I know, I’m a disgrace. I’ll start with some swatches and leave the video at the bottom of the post…. Row 1: Phloof, Shroom, All That Glitters, Omega Patina, Mythology Row...

I got my hands on some Sugarpill Cosmetics from Cocktail Cosmetics. So far, I’m very impressed. Thought you might like a gander :) I got two single pressed eye shadows and one gorgeous palette. How fabulous is the packaging!     Addicted to Pretty Eye Palette – Sweet...

A few goodies arrived from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. I have never tried the brand before but have heard quite a few YouTube guru’s raving about them so I was delighted to explore. Obsessive Compulsive Lip Tars Left to right – Vintage, Vapid, Grandma, Anima And here are some swatches...

I’m liking these pigments by Medusa’s Make Up. They are great for anyone building a make-up artist kit or anyone who enjoys working with pigments for fun. I have three shades… All three shades are shimmery, not glittery,  and have a satiny feel to them.  The colours are all vibrant,...

I have been using NYC Show Time Volumising Mascara as part of an affordable mascara comparison project (more on that later). I have been quite impressed with this one so far.   This is a great every day mascara. It coats my lashes evenly, doesn’t make my lashes look like plastic (pet...

This week I wish I had Urban Decay’s 15-Year Anniversary 24/7 Pencil Set. Most make-up artists, youtube make-up guru’s and bloggers love 24/7 pencils. I’m with them. Love ‘em. I use them as liners and eyeshadow bases. I’m inclined to think that the more colours I have,...

I picked up quite a few bargains during my stay in the US at Christmas (haul video part one will be up this evening on my YouTube channel). Quite a few of your recommended that I pick up an Idol Eyes Creme Shadow Pencil from Wet n Wild. You were right, I completely needed this one :) I chose number...

Why oh why did I wait so long to buy Painterly Paintpot by MAC?! I finally picked it up in Chicago in December and have used it every day since. I have a few paintpots in my collection and to be honest this is the only one I own that I would recommend. I once had Delft and Girl Friendly which are...

I have always walked by the make-up section in Victoria Secret assuming that it wasn’t up to scratch. Since I have joined the beauty community online I have heard so many of you raving about their Beauty Rush lip glosses and some of the eyeshadows. I did order a few lipsticks last year and they...

This blog post will be short and sweet. My post on e.l.f’s 32 palette seemed to go down well so I decided to do a similar post for their Natural Palette. So I tested the palette out yesterday. Here are some photos, swatches and my thoughts…       My...

many of us spend a fortune on mascara’s. There are some that only suite certain occasions, times when you need a waterproof formulation but don’t have one, on top of this they need to be disposed of quite frequently. For this reason I don’t spend my money on high end mascara’s....
