Beauty Trend: Ombre Lips

Beauty Trend: Ombre Lips

One beauty trend I would have never expected to see come to the fore has been ombre lips. I mean, really. First it was ombre hair – okay – and ombre nails – fun – but on the lips? I thought this strayed a little too far into Crazy territory for the mainstream beauty scene. But…maybe that’s why I wanted to... Continue reading »

How to Wash Your Hair Backwards. Have You Ever Tried It?

How to Wash Your Hair Backwards. Have You Ever Tried It?

Yesterday I accidentally washed my hair backwards. I was in the shower, scrubbing and singing like I always do, and before I knew it, I’d filled my left hand with a pile of conditioner. Huh. I could have rinsed it down the drain and gone for the shampoo, but I didn’t. Instead, I remembered a sidebar we have in the... Continue reading »

On The Go Review: Essence Multi Action Smokey Eyes Mascara

On The Go Review: Essence Multi Action Smokey Eyes Mascara

Mascara has to be one of my favorite products. It is the ONLY thing that I NEVER skip when applying my makeup. In my opinion, it is the key factor to tying a look together. It could just be that my lashes are decently long naturally but very thin; they almost look blonde and non-existent even though I'm a natural... Continue reading »

Frugal February

Frugal February

Last year, I noticed so many bloggers had signed up to Frugal February. I really liked the idea, but I didn't feel like I 'needed' to save money as I didn't feel I spent that much on beauty products. Over January, I wrote down everything I spent and most of my money (after car insurance, travel etc.) went on beauty.... Continue reading »

Fluffy little pick of the week: Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips in Kitty, Kitty

So after a lot of dithering I have decided that Kitty, Kitty is my favourite variety of Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. Although I do love the flowery ones (Girl Flower, I think). Oh, and these ones, too. Now, I was very jammily sent a few by the brand last year, including this design, but I bought... Continue reading »

Social Experiment: Scarlet Fever!

Social Experiment: Scarlet Fever!

From my previous Social Experiment experience, I already knew that bold Pin Up-inspired lips or a bright flush on your cheeks would instantly draw male attention. For February, I wanted to push the envelope further and was inspired by the bold splashes of red on this season’s runway. From Anna Sui’s gorgeous... Continue reading »

Fragrance of the Moment: Diesel Loverdose

Fragrance of the Moment: Diesel Loverdose

From the moment that I smelt this perfume I needed it in my life. It’s a beaut. So unlike anything else that I own, except maybe Flowerbomb, although they are really nothing alike. To me, there is definitely a strong liquorice scent that lingers long after the sweeter smells have disappeared, I think it’s this... Continue reading »
