Illamasqua Blush, Part 2

Illamasqua Blush, Part 2

Still thrilled to be discussing Illamasqua’s famous powder blushes (though, in honor of Illamasqua’s British origins, perhaps I should say, “chuffed”?). Today I have the pinks, including the very popular Hussy and Katie. And I did both light and heavy swatches. Light: Heavy: As I mentioned... Continue reading »

FROM THE FRONT | Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum set to launch

AND THE company is singing from the rooftops about it, using no less superlative a term than milestone. Why? Because the organization has apparently discovered a new must-have ingredient, from leaf and bark extract of the African Anogeissus tree. Sustainably harvested in Ghana, it’s the star ingredient in the... Continue reading »

Fasolka po Bretonsku or Breton Beans

While this recipe is not actually a Polish one, it is an extremely popular dish in Poland.  Fasolka po Bretonsku is a recipe originally from Brittany.  However, in my searching for the origins of this dish, I have found that typically the non-Polish version has different ingredients.  Either way, it is a delicious,...

Fab Concealer Alert: Origins Quick, Hide! Long Wearing Concealer Review

Fab Concealer Alert: Origins Quick, Hide! Long Wearing Concealer Review

If I could only take one make up product to hell with me, it would be concealer, probably because I value clear skin more coloured lips or long eyelashes. Hence, the search for new concealer never ends! Origins – not a brand I’ve used in a while – has a fairly new concealer with a [...]If you're... Continue reading »

Video Game Contains Gay Elf Sex Scene

Looking to buy a video game for your kids this Christmas?  You might not want to check out “Dragon Age: Origins,”  for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.  I’ve just learned that it contains graphic images of homosexual sex between a man and an elf.  Yes, elf!  I assume it’s a...

Origins VitaZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer with Mangosteen Review

Although I am halfway through trialling skincare from one particular brand at the moment, it doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes deviate and use somewhat…quicker, easier products like, tinted moisturisers or 2 in 1 eye creams and concealers. Some days, speed is of the essence. Origins VitaZing SPF 15... Continue reading »

Origins Brighter By Nature™ Serum and Moisturizer

A few months ago, I reviewed Origins Brighter By Nature™ High-Potency Brightening Skin Peel, which I absolutely love. Well, Origins Brighter By Nature™ line just extended to include a skin tone correcting serum and the new SPF 35 skin tone correcting moisturizer. I haven’t tried either one yet, but would...

Not Oprah’s Book Club: Agorafabulous! Dispatches From My Bedroom

Not Oprah’s Book Club: Agorafabulous! Dispatches From My Bedroom

I’m a long time fan of Sara Benincasa, who I interviewed last year. She’s a comedian, a sex advice columnist, a feminist, and she does a mean Peggy Olsen impression. She’s also a recovering agoraphobic, and her book Agorafabulous! Dispatches From My Bedroom, out in February, is based on her one-woman comedy... Continue reading »

Origins A Perfect World Deep Cleanser Review

Origins A Perfect World Deep Cleanser Review

I've had a tester of this lying around for ages. I can't even remember where I got it from now but I've finally got round to trying it. I love the smell, kind of flowery scented with a bit of Orange but very fresh though was quite strong, so for people that don't enjoy perfumed cosmetics especially cleansers I... Continue reading »

Origins Eye!

Origins Eye!

As a woman in her mid twenties (ahh scary) I have really started to think about the changes my skin will be going through. So far I haven’t really concentrated on my facial skin but I think on my 25th birthday I will treat myself to some anti-aging moisturiser. I have, however, started to think about my under eye...

New hope for oily skin: Origins releases new saw palmetto and mint line to control oil

New hope for oily skin: Origins releases new saw palmetto and mint line to control oil

I mention it all the time, but my skin can get pretty oily and breakout prone, especially this time of year when the humidity is at 1502% and the temperature is 98 degrees. Keeping shine down is a constant battle, and eventually you just get sick of it and give up. But what if there was a way to get some of that shine... Continue reading »

La Collection Privée Christian Dior - 10 Unique Fragrances by François Demachy

La Collection Privée Christian Dior - 10 Unique Fragrances by François Demachy

I love with this new change in the direction of perfumes production and sale. Companies like Dior, Cartier, Tom Ford and Dolce & Gabbana are going back to the origins where a fragrance was about the materials and the scent, not about the bottle and the marketing. I have yet to try these new frangrances from Dior,... Continue reading »

Review: Origins Eye Doctor

Review: Origins Eye Doctor

I feel like I've been saying this before every post but - long time no see! :P If you follow me on Twitter (which you should) you would know that I had a little splurge on a certain skincare item, after experiencing severe skin panic in the dryness in the UK. Yep, I popped my Origins cherry and had a very lovely... Continue reading »
