MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in 'Let's Skate!'

MAC paint pots. Who has one? Now, who has a maybelline colour tattoo? More hands up that time I guess! Considering you can buy three for the price of one paint pot surprised I am not, however that doesn't mean you should not give these little beauties a side eye.. Let's Skate! is a beautiful baby pink shade infused with gold microglitter (think less discoball and more chic shimmer) which acts as a suberb base for eyeshadows as it will turn any shadow into a party perfect shimmer shade and keep it on throughout the day for...

Lush Bunch Of Carrots

If you go into Lush this Easter there is a product you should pick up for novelty value alone. And this is it. I present to you.... a Bunch of Carrots! Three carrot shaped bubble bars for £5.95. Same as any bubble bar really, swish around the bath to create as many or as few carrots as you so wish. This bit really does make me chuckle, after all I'm swishing a carrot around the bath... The bubbles created are of decent size and the water will turn a pale orange shade.  Depending on how you like your bubbles these could either...

Herbal Essences Bee Strong Strengthening Intensive Mask

Herbal Essences is a brand that more than likely you will have experienced but definitely heard of. With a new advertising campaign featuring a luscious-locked Nicole Scherzinger making some rather questionable shouts of YES! it's a product that is very much in the spotlight right now. Recently the Bee Strong Strethening Intensive Mask (seriously, how long is the name?) was a super snip at £1.99 so I picked it up to test on my dry, damaged and coloured hair.  The consistency of the Herbal Essences Masks are what...

Collection Cream Puff in 'Angel Delight'

Happy Sunday, everyone! You know when you look at a product and just don't try it because you think it looks rubbish? Well try it, because you might just find a new must-have. Today a post regarding Bloggers favourite, the Collection Cream Puff Lip Cream in Angel Delight* - a velvet matte finish lip cream. I initially bypassed this as I received it in my goody bag at a blogger meet up and the colour just looked, to put it bluntly, vile. I tried it on a whim the other day and was seriously impressed with it. Firstly it smells...

Illamasqua Cream Foundation in 210

Recently illamsqua had a super sale on. With free delivery. You know what that means.... After a lot of research and a fingers crossed moment hoping this would match my skin tone, the Illamasqua Cream Foundation was added to my basket and I was £4.50 lighter (Yes, £4.50. A fraction more than a Starbucks and way better than the £23 price tag it wears in Selfridges). The foundation itself is very thick. I've tried blending it with my fingers, a sponge and a stippling brush and found the stippling brush to be best. Top tip was...

MAC Viva Glam Rihanna

Another MAC Lipstick. Wow. Totally original content, eh? At first I was reluctant to post this however after some thought (and swooning over the colour some more) I wanted to give it the spotlight it rightly deserves. MAC has released Viva Glam Rihanna, a cool toned, frosty red. More on the shade later, as what I really want to talk about is the ethos behind it. Every penny after the tax goes to MAC Aids Fund which helps men, women and children living with AIDS or HIV. I think the thing that resonates the most here is...

L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil

I have unruly, curly and bleach damaged hair. I open with this because this bottle of oil really lives up to its name, it really is extraordinary.  The L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary oil is a multi use hair oil that can be used in a manner of different ways from heat protection to smoothing. It comes in a sturdy glass bottle with a lock lid to avoid spillages which is rather handy when it is rattling around the bottom of your drawer (or is that just mine). The consistency of it is rather runny for a hair oil so when you pump...

Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Shower Power Cream

The ugly side of beauty. The bit that goes on behind closed doors. Perhaps not the most glamourous of subjects but today I'm talking hair removal. At the recent East Midlands Meet Up (#eastmindsmeetup) I received this in the pretty amazing goodie bag, so thought I'd give it a whirl. The Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Shower Power Cream* is a cream that removes hair within the shower, and is done and dusted in 10 minutes max. Sounds good already right? Especially as it claims to be 'smooth for up to 7 days'. All you do is spread it onto...
