Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the festivities over the past few weeks. Like most of I’m sure, my house is still chocker with boxes of sweets and yummies. Mine will be swiftly dealt out amongst my family before I savage through them. Santa treated me to a few new make-up bits...

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 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...

My go-to blusher of choice for the past month has been Benefit Cha Cha Tint. It was high time for a video review. Have you tried it? What do you think?  

You all know how much of a lip gloss junkie I am. But I am by no means a lipgloss snob, I have a mix of high end and budget friendly tubes in my collection – I enjoy them all. I’ve been enjoying NYX lip glosses for the past few weeks. They’re cheap and pretty. Whipped, Kiss, Pink,...

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 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...

I have been promising swatches of The Body Shop’s spring palettes for ages and I completely forgot.. better late than never eh! :) It’s probably time for their summer launch at this stage but the Spring palettes are still on sale.   Palette 02 – A La Mode Shades: Minimalist...

I have completely fallen for Rimmel Portobello Pink (230). It’s their 60 Seconds formulation, which I love. Here are some swatches.   What I think: Easy to apply I’m a fan of Rimmel polishes creamy consistency. The coverage is excellent. The thick brush makes the application...

If you watched my recent product rave video you will have heard me rant a little about an Isa Dora Jelly Kiss lipstick I have recently fallen for. It’s a beautiful pink (what a shocker) in 53 Pink Parfait. You can find swatches below and photos of what it looks like on me for reference. And...

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,...

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...

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...
