Bye Bye Le Metier De Beaute
I’m so sad that Le Metier is pulling out of the UK: Echo Blush is one of my all-time favourites and became one of my staple gifts for girlfriends –…
Isla Sirena
Right, you’ll have to bear with me while I confess to confusion about Isla Sirena: from what I understand, it appears to be a co-brand initiative between DuWop and Disney…
Thalgo Ocean Memory Body Cream
Personally, I find it quite hard to justify really splashing out on body creams when there are so many good ones on the market that don’t cost a bomb (ahem,…
Sure Crystal Deoderant
Well, I’ll have to admit that deoderant doesn’t feature much in my thinking – I just buy some when we run out and don’t really think twice about which brand…
Frontcover Custom Palette
I like the Frontcover baked shadows – they’re easy to use and give a good, silky colour payoff at a reasonable price (and there always seem to be offers around…

The busy people at Model’s Own have found time between sticking diamonds on nail polish lids to create a range of mascaras, the Hi Definer Collection. So, meet the new…
Justin Bieber’s Hair Cut
It’s almost scary how many people are interested in the Beiber’s new shorter do. Yes, it’s cute, yes, he looks good and yes, he’s a product fiend! Apparantly, he can’t…
Tesco Beauty Salons
I’ve just read a post and subsequent comments on the fabulous www.beaut.ie about Tesco in-store beauty salons. Until I read this, I really didn’t think I had much to say…
Boots Moisturising Nail Polish Remover Pads
I was pretty pleased to pick these polish remover soaked pads up in Boots for £1.58. Until I got them home and tried to use them. The pads (and why…
MUFE HD Foundation
I’m sure there will a collective gasp of horror from MUFE lovers but, I really, really don’t like HD Foundation. I picked some up from Sephora when I was in…

Fun times at the Revlon Beauty Class with make up artist Gucci Westman running a tutorial on how to achieve the look she created for Alice Temperley for London Fashion…
