  • Hello Kitty And Liberty Of London

    Hello Kitty And Liberty Of London

    Excited to hear that my favourite kitty-cartoon in the world, Hello Kitty, is joining forces with Liberty to bring out fabrics, home wares and bath products. I’m thinking that is one wash-bag and bubble bath I need in my life. 

  • The Milky Way

    The Milky Way

    I spend a lot of time in the internet universe looking for unusual beauty products and I think it is safe to say that this item totally qualifies for that title.  Ishizawa Top Pink Jelly for Breast is made to whiten the nipple area for ‘cute-looking milky pink nipples’. Hello…what?? Apparantly, the gel contains whitening…

  • Redken Nature’s Rescue Refining Sea Polish

    Redken Nature’s Rescue Refining Sea Polish

    Now, this is one of the oddest products I’ve ever used. Everything about it feels wrong from start to finish, BUT, actually it’s rather good. Basically, it is an exfoliator for the hair so the sensation is extremely weird.. I guess it would be like rubbing your hair in wet sand. You apply the thick,…

  • Jouer Cosmetics To Launch in UK!

    Jouer Cosmetics To Launch in UK!

    Exciting news for beauty buffs; Jouer is launching in the UK at Cult Beauty who are uploading the products as I write so do check in. The range reminds me a bit of Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown in that the colours I was sent to try are those flattering neutrals that both other brands…

  • Japonesque Fast Lashes Guest Review

    Japonesque Fast Lashes Guest Review

    Joanne over at http://www.beautyliciouslove.com/ has done a fab review of Japonesque Fast Lashes for me – I think she likes it! Thank you so much, Joanne. “When god was giving out eyelashes, I was sadly at the very end of the queue With no mascara on, my eyelashes are barely visible. I envy women with…

  • Beauty Gossip

    Rachel Zoe is launching a lipstick line. How stylish.

  • Melvita Floral Bouquet Extraordinary Waters

    Melvita Floral Bouquet Extraordinary Waters

    Wow! I’m so impressed with these gorgeous waters from organic brand Melvita. It’s hard to explain the texture because they are so unusual, but I guess it is a bit like thick water if you can imagine such a thing. Maybe a better way is to say they are like a light, highly fluid serum…

    So, I Met A Guy….

    And he was perfect, but for one thing…  

  • Orofluido Hair Mask

    Orofluido Hair Mask

    My hair (and skin) loves Argan oil. Falling to the dry side of hair type, my hair isn’t massively crispy but it needs a regular moisture infusion. I’ve just tried the Orofluido Hair Mask and it is perfect for a light moisture treatment. It’s light in texture, like lightly whipped double cream, and not like…

  • Compaca Make Up Storage Box from Umbra

    Compaca Make Up Storage Box from Umbra

    Apparantly, Todd Sinclair grew weary of his wife’s make up cluttering up the bathroom, so he invented this: Now, he clearly isn’t married to a beauty blogger, because that would be the mere tip of the iceberg in reducing stash clutter. However, I love the compactness of it and the clean lines of the design.…

  • Little Monkey: A Bathing Ape Nail Oil

    Little Monkey: A Bathing Ape Nail Oil

      Baby Milo (the monkey) is the symbol of the Japanese brand, A Bathing Ape. Creator, Nigo, has created a Baby Milo nail oil holder (well, who doesn’t need something to hold your nail oil?) to hug a bottle of the Argan oil based blend. It’s actually quite fragrant with patchouli, cedarwood, bergamot and geranium…

    Ok, You See My BBB Countdown Clock?

    The clock is ticking for the in-store date when Garnier’s Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All-In-One BB cream launches. A little bird tells me that the on-line launch is now!

  • Lancome A/W 2011 Make Up: 29 St Honore

    Lancome A/W 2011 Make Up: 29 St Honore

    I love Lancome’s a/w collection inspired by the femme fatale trend of the 1930s and 1940s. In particular, I’m taken with the lipstick packaging – the lipstick comes in a very small tube and is absolutely bang on in design for how lipsticks were originally packaged. It’s got some weight to it as well –…

  • Riding The Red Eye

    Riding The Red Eye

    Ever since I spotted http://www.londonmakeupgirl.com/2011/07/red-eyeliner-would-you-wear-it.htmlI’ve been wanting to do the red eye liner look. I wasn’t sure how to make it work on me because it is such a strident, statement look. So, consulting with make-up artist, Kenneth Soh http://musingsofamakeupartist.blogspot.com/ he gave me some tips on how to to ride the red eye. Firstly, red…

  • Anna Sui Ribbon Shaped Eyebrow Palettes

    Anna Sui Ribbon Shaped Eyebrow Palettes

    Of course this will be a tough one to find, but well worth it if you can track it down. The eyebrow compact comes in three colour ways and is quite honestly the prettiest brow compact I’ve ever seen. It’s a really low res image but hoping you can get the picture.
