I know fragrance connoisseurs will probably be mortified, but on the whole I think that ‘sleb scents are pretty alright. I suppose they’re designed to have mass market appeal and be inoffensive, and so tend to be saccharine sweet or rather, well, meh. Does anyone else cringe when picking...
In case you missed it, I have a brand new favourites video up on YouTube! It’s been a while since I did a collection of favourites, so there’s a whole pile of fab products mentioned. Neostrata Foaming Glycolic Wash Vichy Idealia Yeux Eye Cream Dr. Pawpaw Balm Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder...
To say that Chanel Taboo is my favouritest nail polish ever, would be, believe it or not, the understatement of the year. Pretty much since it was acceptable to start donning darker, autumnal colours (August?!), this has been on my digits. Sure, there’s been some breaks in between, where I’ve...
Remember the Apocalips? Well, I think these new Rimmel Provocalips 16 Hr Kiss Proof Lip Colours could withstand the actual apocalypse! Seriously, these babies are bombproof. Stay tuned for millions of pics, on the lip swatches and my review. So anyone who’s been reading the blog for a while,...

When you think of Essence cosmetics, you think of affordable yet excellent performance, right? Wouldn’t think twice about slicking one of their lipsticks on. But when it comes to skincare, people are a bit weird, often falling prey to the fallacy that more expensive means better performing. Let me tell...
Be cool, honey bunny. But get yourself to your nearest Urban Decay counter as quick as your feet will carry you, because you need these limited edition Pulp Fiction lip products in your life! I’ve written about Urban Decay’s Revolution Lipsticks before, and they remain one of, if not the,...
There’s no doubt about it, brows are continuing to have a moment in beauty. And rightly so. Sure a good brow will frame your face, taking you from a baldy egg with eyes to Cara Delevigne. I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir. But what do you do if, like me, you were alive in […]
