Month: April 2012

I love the sound of the new misty line-up from The Body Shop.. especially as they have one of my all time favourite scents; coconut. They’re launching in June for £7 each and I think they’ll be a big hit for summer – who doesn’t want to be spritzed on a hot day with refreshing…

I’m slightly obsessed with the Givenchy Summer Kajal in Nude – it’s such a weird look but also very beguiling. If you use it on the inner rim of the eye it gives a very stylised effect as though it needs white mascara to make it as edgy as possible. I’m not sure I can…

Eyeshadow Keeper Refill I’ve just got a sample of the new RBR 3 pan palette (£15) and 3 shades to pop in it. There is a size difference between regular RBR shadows and the slightly smaller ones for the palette but all the same quality is there as nothing has changed but the size. The…

Rose Pompom, Rose Mandarine, Veloute de Peche and Rose Thè. I don’t think I actually know anyone who hasn’t either currently got, or in the past had, one of the little Bourjois blushers in their make-up stash. They’re just a beauty staple, really. The new line-up for summer is a beautifully natural foursome, and they’ve…

Wow..the Monica Bellucci Lipsticks for Dolce & Gabbana are very highly pigmented – they look much more impressive on the skin than in the tube I have to say. I noticed they left a stain on my arm after I’d swatched them which is testament to their long-last qualities. From Bottom: Natural Monica, Only Monica,…

It’s no secret that last year’s launch of Garnier Miracle Skin Daily All-in-One BB cream was my favourite BB and I wore it all summer long, it didn’t at the time have very much competition. Now, with the world and its wife producing a BB this year, it does. However, there are a couple of…

Loving this cute pouch from Vaseline that lets you get all patriotic about your pout. At £3.99 it’s pretty much a bargain especially as it contains a tin of Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips for a pink tint. It’s available now at Sainsburys and Superdrug.

Well, you live and learn. Yesterday, I went to the launch of a new exercise wear range (Vevie – it’s gorgeous with all sorts of beautifully thought through detail such as tiny pockets for keys and motivational labels, etc) when for no particular reason the conversation turned to waxing down under. I’ve never had the…
