Estee Lauder Violet Underground
A sharp eyed reader pointed out the Estee Lauder Violet Underground collection, launching later in the year. It’s full of smoulder, lush glossiness and general all-round glamour. I cannot wait to get my tips dipped in that deep berry polish, Black Iris. We can expect some new nail polish shades as well, ten new colours…

Japonesque Safari Brush Set
Loving these Safari brushes from Japonesque, fairly newly released at Boots. This trio costs £28 and contains a plush powder-brush, shadow brush and a crease brush. Since I’ve got a little bit more into quality brushes, I’m rather excited by these, but thinking I might be a bit reluctant to douse them in eyeshadow and…

Bex London
I love living in London; originally I came from Scotland (although I am English) and even mum says that from the day I could walk, I wanted to be on a pavement, not a country lane! So I came to London as soon as I possibly could at age seventeen, got a job, found a…

Paul’s Boutique Maisie Bag
I don’t even know who Paul is and have only really come across this brand while wandering through Selfridges, but what I do know is that I LOVE patent, and particularly nude patent shades. I can see this looking equally fab with jeans and a shirt or with a summer dress; it’s a dusky pinky-nude…

TanGro
Okay, so this isn’t the prettiest thing in the world, but it’s got to be one of the most useful. The TanGro, £34.26, is made from breathable 95% cotton and the concept is totally simple – it stops you getting self-tan on your sheets, your sofa or your chairs. One of the things that puts…

Swarovski Elements Oriental Ear-Rings
I’m so lazy about changing my ear-rings and also super-fussy, too…usually I just wear a pair of plain gold hoops and really have to be in an ear-ring mood to be bothered to change them. Like many people, I can only usually tolerate gold without getting an allergic reaction, but have found that I can…

A Little Change To BBB
On Wednsdays, assuming I remember, I’m going to be doing some accessory posts as well as beauty. I’ve ignored jewels, shoes and bags for far too long.

L’Oreal Paris Miss Candy
L’Oreal’s Miss Candy collection is so sweet – I’m sure you’ll see it everywhere. I’m already a fan of the Color Infallible eye shadows, and the Miss Candy line up is gorgeous. Sassy Chamallow, Innocent Turquoise (shown above) and Naughty Strawberry are all beautifully summery with a kick of sparkle to make your eyes pop. …

Melvita Rose Nectar Fresh Micellar Water
So, my love affair with Melvita continues. I took the Rose Nectar Fresh Micellar Water on holiday with me to give it a proper trial, and as expected, it is absolutely lovely. A gorgeously gentle water that is very effective in cleansing away make up and grime. I’d stop short of saying that it will…

Big Fat Box of Chubbyness
Woah…. all the Clinique Chubby Sticks a girl could ever want! This box is at Selfridges and contains eight gorgeous shades of Chubbiness, plus, obviously, a rather lovely box to keep them in. It’s £110 HERE

Rouge Bunny Rouge New Glassy Glosses
Rhubarb Custard, Rahat Lokum, Raspberry Meringue, Mousse Fandango, Cherry Clafoutis. What can I say about these delicious Glassy Glosses from Rouge Bunny Rouge other than that they are divine with a hint of greyish nude in the backdrop that is so flattering. The formula is non-sticky, super-silky, light on the lip and very shiny, and…

Owl Palette at Marks & Spencer
I love this beautiful owl inspired palette containing six eye shades that will launch within the Limited Collection in September for £9.50. It’s positively owlicious.

Berkeley Square London W1 Range
I love this new arrival from Berkeley Square London; I don’t know about you but all this Olympicness and Jubilations is rubbing off on me and I’m drawn to anything splattered with Union Jacks. So, this compact cutie, Red Carpet Essentials, contains a Fruity Lip Kiss Balm and a Shimmer Body Butter for glam skin…

Sephora + Pantone Shades of Nature Palette
OMG… I think I have died and gone to beauty heaven! I love this gorgeous palette from the Pantone and Sephora collaboration. Not only is it a stellar palette, with some incredible shades, but it represents the very best of collaborative beauty. Other brands should look and learn from this one. It is $55 which…
