A Red Lipstick sort of a Day…

A Red Lipstick sort of a Day…

I felt like donning a red lipstick today. Don’t ask me why, it just felt right :) I haven’t worn red in a really long time. I tend to apply it and then change my mind. Not today. I opted for Lancome’s new collaboration with Kate Winslet – Rouge L’Absolu Rouge BX in 132...

Some lovely pigments – Medusa’s Make Up at Cocktail Cosmetics

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 recently recorded a video rave on Isa Dora’s Glow Stick. I’m officially a huge fan. I thought it best that I swatch it for you. The review video can be found below the swatches. The colour reminds me of Nars Deep Throat (awful name, but cult blush). It’s the same tone, it could...

NYX Lip Pencils – Swatches and Review

I mentioned in my latest haul video that I picked up three NYX lip pencils whilst in the US. I had actually intended to buy more but the local Ulta didn’t stock the entire line, boo hoo. I had 8 shades to choose from, none of which were neutrals. I eventually settled on these three. Dolly Pink,...

MAC Blushcreme in Ladyblush

MAC Blushcreme in Ladyblush

I have had an on off love affair with MAC’s Ladyblush over the years. Since I use it so often I thought it was about time it got a mention on my blog. Very often my most used products are the ones that are over-looked.     Ladyblush is a cream product that works best when...
