Is it too early to start my ‘Dear Santa’ letter? Thought as much, but I was sent some information on the China Glaze Holiday / Christmas Gift Sets and I had to share. So much Christmas prettiness cannot stay caged in an email. Party Hearty Holiday set L to R: Phat Santa, Party Hearty...

I have taken a break from nail polish removed in bottle form. I misplace the bottle, I spill it (clumsy Amy!) but worst of all I never remember to pick up cotton pads for removal. If you follow me on Twitter you may have seen my little rant recently where I attempted to remove Eyeko Vampira (a dark...

Today’s nails a  bit of a failure to be honest. The skin-tone on my hands has lightened considerably over the past few weeks rendering my favourite Summer polishes useless. I now have to dig through my mound of nail polishes to find some that will look look on my fairer skin. Today I hadn’t...

I have been hearing about new cosmetic company, FYF , through the grapevine. I was intrigued by their blushes, particularly the 3D flower type.

It has been a while since I last posted an outfit of the day. This is mainly due to the fact that I’m usually rushing somewhere and also because I rarely remembered to take my camera. Not any more. I have an iphone now so I have no excuse! Yes – No make-up! Aaaaaaagh!! I was heading...

I have been busy soaping all morning, I tend to experiment with recipe’s and ingredients on Sundays. My kitchen looks like a bomb hit it at the moment but I had to take a break and share my new logo for Pink Witch Potions & Lotions which went up today :) My friend came up with a few adorable...

I had some fun playing with the Sleek Storm Palette today (video will be up tomorrow). So for now it’s swatch and feedback time! Sleek Palette – Storm This appears to be the most neutral and therefore the most versatile palette out of the four I have. There are a few matte shades which...

It occurred to me whilst writing my blog post on getting your nails back into good condition after gel nails that I have never shared my experience with gel and acrylic nails on my blog before. A few people asked me if I recommend them. Here are my thoughts… The first time I got my nails done...

So I have already blogged about my Xen Spray Tan so I thought it was a good time to review the home version. I bought the Xen Dark Lotion for €23 online, there is no way I’m paying House of Fraser prices. I also do a little comparison between the lotion and the salon spray, enjoy! Thanks...

I’m doing some TV work this week with more mature women. I was busy preparing my kit this morning and it got me thinking about a make-up kit for more mature skin. I decided to put together a list of all the ‘must haves’. As we get older the skin changes; firmness is lost, eyebrows...
