Next in my lipstick series is my favourite red lipstick of all time Mac Chili, which is a matte formulation. My love affair with this lipstick started around 4 years ago when I discovered it whilst on a mission to find the perfect red for my skin tone. It is a beautiful brick red shade that is, in my opinion, the best red for anyone with yellow undertones to their skin. It has just the right amount of orange/brown tones so that it still remains very red without being overly bright or garish.Alth [..]

CreaClip: Cut Your Own Hair At Home
Published on 2012-04-03 09:08:00
I don't know about anyone else but I really hate going to the hairdressers. I never come out with the hairstyle I want. Why do hairdressers take 3-4 inches off the length when you've specifically asked for 1 inch? Or take too much off the layers?Last time I went to the hairdressers (6 months ago) I asked for long layers and came out with short layers looking like I had a mushroom head. Not good! She also took way too much off the ends. I could have cried at the time. Thank goodness it's grown ou [..]

Next in my lipstick series is Mac Rebel which is from the satin range. Described by Mac as a vivid-pinkish purple. This is a bang on accurate description of this colour. It is a bold colour, which may be daring for some, but I find it totally wearable for both day and night, and for all seasons too!It's a very long lasting formulation which I find barely needs touching up once I've applied a couple of coats. It also looks beautiful when worn as a lip stain, if you don't want such a 'full on' loo [..]

Next up in my lipstick series is Mac Half'n'Half from the Amplified Creme range. Described by mac as a Creamy pink which is a pretty accurate description. It is a nice neutral shade that literally goes with any look. It is really dense in colour and lasts a very long time on my lips. I also find it sits on my lips nicely and is never drying.All in all, it's a very inoffensive shade that works as either an every day lipstick, or for night time paired with a dramatic eye.

It is a a taupe with a grey undertone and was a limited edition from Macs satin range.Now if I apply this directly from the tube it looks a bit wrong and way too unnatural and heavy, making me look almost dead in fact. Instead, I apply it from the tube lightly and work it into my lips with my finger so it ends up looking more like a st [..]
Max Factor Lash Extension Effect Mascara
Published on 2012-03-08 17:18:00
This is the mascara I currently wear for work. I absolutely love the brush....thin spiky plastic flexible bristles that comb through the lashes really well to give a nice coating of mascara. The result for me is the most perfect natural enhanced lashes. It does lengthen, and it is very build able. Believe it or not, I can apply 5 or 6 coats of this and it still doesn't clump!As a nurse, I like to look well groomed but not overdone on the make up front. So this mascara is perfect for me as it alm [..]
Eucerin Hyaluron - Filler Day Cream
Published on 2012-03-07 18:05:00
I saw this whilst perusing the aisles in Boots a few months ago. I saw a man walk straight up to the Eucerin section bend down, pick up a box and then promptly walked off. There was no hesitation, he knew exactly what he wanted and wasn't lingering around. I was now really intrigued, whatever he was buying was obviously a re-purchase, what was it?As soon as he'd gone a tootled on over and picked up the product he had just whipped away. It was Eucerin Hyaluron - Filler Day Cream. I read the box, [..]

Mac Lady Danger Lipstick

Next up in my lipstick series is Mac Lady Danger. It is a matte lipstick described by Mac as a vivid bright coral-red. Now this isn't for the faint hearted, it is a full on 'in your face' red. It is a night time red for me. I haven't yet had the guts to parade around in this in the daytime, I'm such a scardy cat!This is the perfect bright red if you have yellow undertones in your skin. If you are cool toned it will probably not do much for your complexion to be honest, and could end up clashing [..]

Back To Basics: Pure Coconut Oil
Published on 2012-03-01 14:15:00
Coconut oil is an incredible multi-tasking beauty product that won't break the bank. It is packed full of antioxidants and medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), which are small molecules that penetrate through the skin very easily which can help prevent the formation and reaction of free radicals. This in turn helps to reduces drying of skin, fine lines, and wrinkles leaving skin smooth and supple. It apparently also helps reduce the appearance of liver spot's (or sun spots) over time and can help p [..]

NYX Taupe Blush
Published on 2012-02-18 07:31:00
Here is NYX Taupe blush which is my current contour powder.It is a matte grey/brown shade with absolutely no orange/red tones that you get with a bronzer. Which therefore gives a much more realistic result. I apply this with my Mac 109 brush and it sculpts a natural looking shadow on my skin tone. It's very pigmented, so you only need to pick up a small amount on the brush, and then using a light hand, build up slowly to achieve a perfect result.Here I am wearing the NYX Taupe.....This is the be [..]
