Month: September 2012

A really beautiful concept by Jane Schubb who created StrangeBeautiful nail polishes. Dose colours are designed to suit your mood and I love the packaging, the immaculate design and of course, the nail shades which always err on the edgy, dirty undertone side of things.  The colours are segmented into ‘mood’ hues, The Blues, Black…

Okay so I’m heading off for a couple of day’s R&R but I’ve scheduled a couple of posts over the days that I’m away so there will still be something to look at! I’ve got my beauty packing down to a fine art for carry-on luggage only: (the white bottle is Insitut Esthederm decanted because…

I’m over the Nail Constellations before they’ve even begun really but loving that they’re £3 a bottle – it’s exactly what nail bloggers have been saying – there’s no need for a big spend to get the look. So, instead, I’m concentrating on the very cool brow palette which, at £3.50 is great for practise…

This cruelty free Italian make-up brand is coming to http://www.cutecosmetics.co.uk/very soon (try 1st October) and looks pretty good for a cruelty free range, which sometimes can look rather apologetic.  Along with the filled palettes, £21.95, you can also buy customisable empty palettes for £6.95 with individual colours costing £3.95.

Anything ‘small-size’ and I am pretty well smitten so this boxed set of 5 x 7ml fragrances from Fragonard are totally perfect. I still do my mum a Christmas stocking so this is definitely heading there (after I’ve had a sneaky try!). Fragonard isn’t a cutting edge fragrance brand, but the brand is authentic with…
