Everything these days seems to be more fashionable when its smaller. Dogs, handbags, phones, wardrobes. Everything is bite-sized, tiny, swallowable without even needing a glass of water, ...
Ive started this thing of trying to use body lotion. Its been a long and slippery process, usually involving me wandering around my house in my underwear doing a John Wayne walk while I wait for the ...
MAC was the first red lipstick I ever bought, and the first red lipstick that then subsequently went into a blog sale, it was the place where I could spend hours just looking at the confusion of colo...
So, I totally need to start this post by bringing back an old phrase of mine (that I like to believe I coined, but I probably didnt) - MAJOR GOLLUM EYES at this new Daniel Sandler Watercolour Crème R...
Most of my money reserved for a little treat this month was spent on something adult. And before you get any ideas, it was also boring. Consult my home-made Venn diagram below: See? Adult...
Recently Illamasqua launched this incredible whiter-than-Tippex Precision Ink called Scribe with their swirling clashing collection, Human Fundamentalism. The whole point of the stark product w...
I dont usually blog about hair, unless its in the category of new (in which case I blog straight away) or a passing tossed in mention to a hair product Ive probably been using for about 7 years and r...
I came to the conclusion that I dont even use any of this stuff. In the interests of paring down (yet again), heres a blog sale for you. This is my final moving house blog sale. THE RULES...
In all my blush adventures, Id quite forgotten about the very first proper high-end blush I ever bought, a little souvenir of that first proper Real Grown-Up Makeup purchase. I did not part wit...
Just today, I was invited to the launch of the new Illamasqua SS12 collection Human Fundamentalism, an explosion of different textures, colours and something whirling and unexpected about it. As a co...
Its not often I write a blog post about a face wash. Okay, for the sake of argument, its a cleanser, but we all know that its just another word for something which gets stuff off your face. Ive...
Image credit: Glossybox.co.uk Ive been holding out for a miracle for the longest time with GlossyBox. A few weeks ago, the day of their Valentines special, I finally got tired of waiting and un...
Something about the mismatched chaos of the new NARS Spring collection spoke to me, and Im not really sure why. The collection seemed so incoherent and nothing seemed to flow, really. A berry-t...
Kiwi and I are moving house in about 5 weeks, so I need to get rid of the last few remaining items. THE RULES: - If you want something, comment with the product name or number, followed by an email a...
It was always going to be my reward for completing a full 10,000 words of my thesis, because it launched the day after I was handing my work in. I think a Blush Horizon de Chanel for an eighth of my ...
Ive now decided to stake a claim to my blog on Bloglovin! This might help some of you who are losing your Google Friend Connect connectivity soon! Sorry for the complete non-post, but apparently Blog...
It feels like a long road back here, my life has just been stuffed full of things like a suitcase you have to sit on to get it closed. Silly metaphor, but its how Ive been feeling recently, so ...
It began with a full week of bad fringe, which every time I blinked felt like it unstyled itself despite the industrial strength hairspray I used each ozone-killing day to stop it from splitting awkw...
Ive been feeling distinctly Rydell High recently, all blushed, flushed and bright, a 50s school girl who wears her boyfriends pin and just had her first kiss. Its this Bésame Cream Rouge ...
I was nervous for Carmines November offering, and with good reason. Where other beauty box brands have always created hype with their first boxes to gain the maximum subscriber increase in the ...
I didnt expect to like this. Benefit and I usually have a relationship based on shivering cold indifference, where Benefit tries to be all But look what I can do! like a hysterical child and I ...
This is the very last of the things Ive been holding onto, and which arent getting enough love from me. Heres the rules of play, as usual: * First come, first served. * Please pay within 24 hours. If...
Over a month ago, Boudoir Privé offered me the chance to try one of their boxes for review. I didnt exactly jump at the chance so much as accept their offer with a little bit of a shrug and not...
Actually, this was just going to be a longwinded and unavoidable (perhaps also unashamed) ramble about one of the most stunning I-want-to-bottle-this-look-and -wear-it-forever blush shades Ive ever co...
First off: my first article on Carmine launched! It was on Daniel Sandlers Eye Delights, which are little pots of loose pigments, and which actually started a bit of an obsession with Daniel Sandler ...
There must be something about my face which makes hairdressers mention cutting in a full fringe within five minutes of sitting in me in the chair and being swept into the robe. I really dont get it, ...
So the first box launched from Carmine, and I wanted to share my thoughts with you on it! Obviously, for me, seeing the finished product after a couple of weeks of being OMGSQUEE! ridiculously excite...
Ive been keeping a monster of a secret for a couple of weeks now, and its getting a bit hard to contain it any longer (plus you cant feed it after midnight and walkies in the park are becoming proble...
The Chanel lipsticks came to me quite by accident. For all my elaborately-constructed prose about makeup and ones beauty coffret, Id somehow managed to bypass owning any Chanel products until an acci...
I so very often get caught up in my own swirling narrative that its nice to sit down and be told a story myself for a change. Illamasqua handed me a syrupy cocktail in a dimly-lit bar on the first da...
