Revealing my redness, scars and pimples on camera was so hard, but I did it for you ladies! In case you don’t know, I’ve been battling mild to moderate acne for more than a decade. I’ve had it under control with skincare for some time, and even though my skin is mostly smooth and clear,...
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 […]
Wanna shake up your look for spring, now that the waters have receded and the biting winds abated? Can I get a hell yeah? Hands up who got an Urban Decay Naked 3 palette for/after Christmas? That’s most of you then, great. Click through to see my soft-focus, glowy, springtime skin paired...
It’s the weekend before Christmas. Elbows are sharpened, stores are packed, the queue for Starbucks is out the door, and parking spaces are few and far between. In other words, it’s bedlam. Before you head out to plough through the crowds and wrestle for the last gift set on the shelf, be sure...
Would I make a cyber goth/Rastafarian? Belle Morte seems to think the above shows promise! What are these odd looking neon dreads? They’re Curlformers, and I’m rocking them to try to achieve barrel curls/ soft waves with little or no heat. A frustrating, futile task? Read on for my review...
Words are going to be minimal today, instead I think I should let the pretty colours do the talking! I’ve used the gorgeous Maybelline Master Drama Chromatics collection to create a peacock eye look, with some help from Urban Decay, Sleek and Real Techniques. Let the tutorial begin!
So we got a whole 8 days of glorious sun. I think that’s our Summer folks! Well, at least it can always be summer on my nails… Aztec prints are in this season big time. But since I daren’t buy a scrap of seasonal clothes that will languish in my wardrobe, I’m channeling...
I thought this post was rather timely given the week that’s in it, and the fact that the BITTER cold is sure to be nipping at everyone’s noses. Like seriously, when’s the last Paddy’s Day when we had to worry about snow? And we thought rain was bad enough! But I digress…...
Time slows. Heartbeat by heartbeat you watch yourself, as if outside your body, clutching the air in vain as your precious device falls just outside your grasp. With a “Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!” *splash* it meets its watery fate. We’ve all been there. What was it for you? A puddle?...
I have major grá for Urban Decay eyeshadows. Everytime a Book of Shadows is released, I can’t help but buy it, regardless of how many untouched “Midnight Cowboy Rides Again” shadows I collect (four at the last count I think). Each UD Book of Shadows is a thing of beauty, and with 16 fantastic...
