Louboutin Give Away With Micro-Pedi
Feet. A very neglected area, certainly on my body, and definitely during winter months they are pretty well left to look after themselves. It’s only when the shock of summer arrives that I panic and do some hardcore maintenance to get them looking half-way decent. I was sent the Micro-Pedi a couple of weeks ago,…

Poetry By Ovid About Cosmetics
Well, who knew? Right back in the day – 43BC actually – there was a famous Roman poet called Ovid. He is best known for his racy poems about his love, Corinna, known as Amores (The Loves). However, for reasons entirely unknown, he veered off at a tangent and wrote a poem about women’s cosmetics,…

Dolce & Gabbana Khol Collection
I’m actually quite excited about the upcoming Khol Collection from Dolce & Gabbana, because the colours are wow. With Felicity Jones as the ‘face of’, I think it could be the collection that everyone takes notice of. Mainly, it’s the khol pencils that have caught my eye. In five new shades, they’ve got great pigment…

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow
It seems quite unbelievable that a comprehensive beauty brand like Benefit doesn’t actually have a liquid foundation, but nonetheless, it is currently a gap in their product portfolio. However, as of April 2012, all that will change with the introduction of Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Brightening Liquid Foundation, SPF25. Actually, it is a little more…

PixiGlow and Tinkerbell
Watch out for Pixi’s new collection, PixiGlow – not yet launched in the UK – that takes Disney’s Tinkerbell as inspiration. Coming in spring, the range is all about the sparkle, with products such as Fairy Dust, Magic Tink Tint and creme to powder eye pencils called Chasing Shadows. I’m most looking forward to the…

The Jet Set is created by Ken Downing, Vice President and Fashion Director of Nieman Marcus. It’s not…

Oh My Cherie Collection at Sephora France
In my search for Karl Lagerfeld goodies on sephora.fr, I came across this cute little palette that has a touch of Anna Sui about it. It has nine eye colours, three lips colours, two blush shades and of course, the central powder. Very pretty and worth nipping into Sephora for if you happen to be…

Jo Malone The London Blooms Collection
This is a limited edition range launching in March of next year. It’s very interesting to note that the original Jo Malone signature is very much being written out of the range – this collection is something quite different. Fragrance creator, Christine Nagel has impeccible, understated taste, a little like JM, but is definitely stamping…

Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-On Review
With a limited edition pre-Christmas release of only 300 (but plenty more after Christmas) I’ve finally had a go at it. It’s incredibly simple – you literally just slot in the wax block and then plug the compact machine in. After about 20 minutes the wax is at the optimum temperature. The roller device on…

Limited Edition Jingle G Harajuku Lovers Fragrance
I love this little lim. ed. from Harajuku Lovers; the perfect little stocking filler or present for tweenagers. It’s £12.50 from The Perfume Shop.

Coloured Lashes from Flutter
I get my lash extensions infilled every three weeks without fail.. it’s my only high-maintenance indulgence but I’m virtually religious about it. For a few months now, I’ve had a few purple ones put in as well that you can only see when they catch the light, which I love because it is a very…

Datamonitor Report on Skin Care Fatigue
Datamonitor, data and analysis experts, have reported that skin care consumers are failing to engage with the plethora of skin care products. That’s really not a surprise, but thank god someone has said it out loud. I’m not sure how anyone is supposed to pick out a skin care product when the choice is quite…

Marc Jacobs Ad Banned
The ASA have come down hard on the new ad for Marc Jacobs Oh, Lola. As well they might. Coty thought it ‘provoking but not indecent’. I say, if you stick a perfume bottle at a certain angle between a 17 year old girl’s legs and you don’t think it has any connotations then you…

NPW Soap on a Rope
Instant love for this gorgeous, lavender scented bunny from Selfridges. No more to say than that.
