Review | Lipcote

3/31/2012 09:00:00 am

I love lippy. I really think its the finishing touch to a made-up face, but as I'm sure all you girls know, lippy can be a terror in terms of wear time! I try and prep my lips with lipbalm, and if I have time do the apply, blot, apply routine to extend the wear, but meh I'm not convinced at how well it works. So I picked up Lipcote. My memory of lipcote is OUCH it stung. This...

Thing of the Week | Week 3 | Necessity | Epilator

3/30/2012 03:50:00 pm

So the sun arrived this week - although I hear it's leaving soon - and I decided to de-fuzz. Lovely, right? Haha. Not the most lady-like topic, but we all have to do it! When I was younger, my mother really was against me de-fuzzing. So I secretly did it. With one of my Dad's Bic disposable razors! OMG i suffered. My hair is really thick and super-fast...

Haul | Boots again

3/29/2012 09:00:00 am

Meh needed to use up the no7 vouchers - I actually had 4, but it seems that the fact that I have no more moneys coupled with what I can only assume is the long-delayed wearing-off of the novelty of the No7 vouchers, meant that I could only find two things to buy. One really, because they were practically the same. But I did buy a few other bits, there was a 3 for 2 on hehe although, apparently...

Midweek Musing 2 | Not washing your face in the morning?!

3/28/2012 09:00:00 am

Hmm so I actually had never come across this issue, but recently I've seen a few posts on various blogs about how people don't wash their faces in the morning, as they feel it's clean from the night before. Now to me this is insanity! When you sleep your face heals and recovers, and as such it is generally produces oils, and emits toxins from itself. Your skin is the biggest organ...

Rave | Lanolips

3/27/2012 09:00:00 am

Oooooooo I haven't used that word 'rave' in a post title before. It's really a review, but a review of something I really like, so I decided to 'rave' it up. Kinda bored of the word review=p. Anyways, Lanolips (I feel like there should be a chorus of angelic sounds here!) is something I've wanted for a while, but for some reason couldn't bring myself to part with the over £10 it...

2 a.m. 27.03.2012 Reading Queen Victoria's Biography by Lytton Strachey for an essay. Being stared at unashamedly by the (not for want of opening) unopened trilogy of Hunger Games books I ordered but cannot read because of aforementioned biography for aforementioned essay! Thinking that my pencil case is toooooo far away for me to get the post-it flaggy-things out of it that I need to mark...

Super Haul | Cosmetics Company Store

3/26/2012 09:00:00 am

This weekend saw me tag along on a little trip to Bicester Village with my parents. I literally was only going along to go to the Cosmetics Company Store and oh em gee I so could have bought the whole shop! A few things were hit and miss, they had such a good selection of foundation brands and individual foundations within a brand, especially Clinique and Estee Lauder, however, the shades...

Review | L'oreal Lumi Magique!...

3/25/2012 02:01:00 pm

Whilst browsing Boots a few weeks ago I went a bit mad on the old 3 for 2 at the L'oreal stand. I actually went 6 items mad. Oops. Today's post shall be a review of the 2 face products I bought: L'oreal Lumi Magique Foundation and L'oreal Lumi Magique Concealer. Well let me start at the end and say WOW these are good products. Really, really good products for 'drugstore'...

Haul | Marc B Bag

3/24/2012 09:00:00 am

Not really a haul, more of a purchase, but that's much of a muchness. This is my latest bag purchase - a Marc B bag from eBay. I quite like Marc B bags, they're not too expensive, and are always deceptively roomy! This one is bloody huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge - one of those just shove it in there kinda bags. I literally can take my life in this bag. I use it for Uni....

Review | L'oreal Rouge Caresse...

3/23/2012 09:00:00 am

So I've had 3 of these for about a month now - I delayed my post because normally I absolutely love whatever new make up I get, then I realise they're not so good! HOWEVER, these are just lovely, lovely things. Basically, I have perpetually dry lips, and lipstick can often highlight this, but these tubes of goodness act like a lip balm, with the colour of a sheer, but still pigmented...

Review | Sleek Luminous Pressed powder...

3/22/2012 09:00:00 am

I like Sleek. I have their storm palette, contour kit and eyebrow kit. I think they are all wonderful products, but sometimes the contour colour in the contour kit can look slightly reddish, and seeing as I am yellow, it looks quite stark. I passed by the Sleek stand in Superdrug the other day, and actually purchased the pressed powder in 02 for just that purpose - to use as a pressed...

And surprise, surprise, seeing as you've seen the first two, today I introduce you to Pink Fizz. Isn't it just beautiful? I loooooooooooooooove it, it looks different colours in different lights, but its a pink that leans...

Wishful | Wishlist 1

3/20/2012 09:00:00 am

Today's post is a little bit of 'whimsy' as Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory might say - oh how I love that show! I've decided to put together a little wishlist - I'm forever writing little notes on my phone and bookmarking pages on the internet, so I'm gonna have a little go at compiling a few bits of it! Disney Couture Starter Charm Bracelet, Tinkerbell Laptop Cover Tickets to Matilda! Chanel...

Review | Philosophy the Present

3/19/2012 09:00:00 am

I had a phase a while back where my skin wasn't being particularly co-operative, and as such I would always wear a primer. I'm actually trying to think what primers I used to use, and can't really remember - this should tell you what effect they had on my life! Not much, really! I know one was The Body Shop primer, which was a bit meh tbh, I had no particular feelings towards...

Pixiwoo Look | Kirsten Stewart

3/18/2012 09:00:00 am

I loooooooooved the look of this when Nic from Pixiwoo recreated it. It actually suits me a lot better than a lot of their looks, but doesn't translate so well on the camera. However, I think it's a look I'll be wearing a lot! So here are my version of the products used: L-R: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation in 53, Sleek Storm Palette, Mac Blackground Paint Pot, Maybelline...
