As my regular readers would know, I have super pale skin. It took me a while to accept my porcelain complexion,but after years of basting myself in fake tan and too-dark bronzer, I've come to actually appreciate my skin tone. Despite my desire for a burnished tan, I always used sunscreen, both in summer on the beach and on my exposed and face...
Last year we had Naughty Alice, these year we have her (supposedly) sexier, more sensual older sister, Cheeky Alice. While I enjoyed Naughty as a casual day or office scent,and loved the Maly Siri artwork used in the campaign, she (yes, I feel like I have to refer to these perfumes as ladies) never felt like a particularly naughty or daring scent. I'd...
I'm a gal who loves her vanilla. Preferably in cake form, but also as a scent. But, also in cake. How good is cake?! CAKE!!!! I may be hungry right now. I just deleted like ten cake-related gifs. Could someone please send me a cake? Anyway, Gorilla Perfume's Vanillary isn't really a cake scent, like a lot of other vanilla based fragrances. Sure...
I've been having a good run with shu uemura recently. I've rediscovered two of their palettes, and have been using a blush from one of them almost everyday. Their new Creamy Dome Blusher in Fairy Pink is a pretty darn close match for the pink pressed powder I've been using, with a rather delicate peach tone than an overt PINK! GIRLS WEAR PINK!...
Happy Valentine's Day, y'all! I like to say I don't celebrate it because of how commercial it is, but the thing is, I totally relish it and by default I guess that means I celebrate it too. I don't buy into the overpriced romantic dinners for two and dozen limp roses, but I do like to wear kitschy heart patterned dress, ruby-red lips...
I've been a total facial oil and serum fiend since I started using rose-hip oil about three years ago, and noticed how well it plumped up my dehydrated and flaky skin. Since then I've jumped to different blends, from jojoba and evening primrose oils to argan and various mixes from REN (lovely, but out of my price range) to Estee Lauder's roll-call of...
When I saw Australis had a top coat with holographic flakes on shelf at Priceline (seriously, you'd think I work there, I'm in Priceline so often), I wasn't sure if it was new or just random old stock I'd never noticed before. I picked up the polish Speck-tacular and the Blackmail polish it was positioned next to, as the top coat was recommended for use...
I picked up this shu uemura Holiday 2011 Eye and Cheek Palette in Drowning in Flame (wow, melodramatic much?) last year, obviously, but only just got around to trying out the shades. I'm not normally big on eyeshadow, being heavy handed/fingered with shadow application and a tendancy to forget I'm wearing it until two seconds after I've mashed my ape knuckles into my...
How gorgeous and summery is this lemon yellow tube of sunshine? I was a little unsure when I saw how bright it was - would I end up with custard-stained lips (actually that sounds like something I would enjoy very much). But nope, it's a pretty sheer shade, with a hint of gold and shimmery glitter. It's very wearable over a stronger lipstick...
