Shea Butter & Hay Fever

According to the Met Office, 1 in 5 people suffer from hay fever. If you live in London, like me, you are in amongst the worse affected area.
We are in the peak of the grass hay fever season, which affects 95% of hay fever sufferers.

Benefit | They're Real Mascara

I have recently finish my first tube of this mascara. I was fortunate enough to receive my first tube free, at an event, when it was first launched and if I am honest, I had it sitting in my mascara drawer for a while wondering what all the fuss was about.

I'm fussy when it comes to mascara. My lashes, in my opinion, are short and naturally very curly.
I need my mascara wand to separate my lashes, straighten them out and lengthen them, giving them volume without clumping.

I have only a few favourites, which I will write a post about very soon and now They're Real has been added to my shortlist.

MUA Lip Boom Bring It & LMK (Let Me Know)

I've purchased two more to add to my collection! I now have 4 out of 8.
I have tended to stick to the darker shades, apart from Vibe.
See my full review on my previous post here: MUA Lip Boom: Vibe & It's a Situation

Bring It is a vibrant red. I am a lover of red lipstick.
I own many and this one is one of my favourite red tones.

Non-fleecing Cotton Wool Pads

For me, cotton pads are an everyday necessity. I use them to apply toner on my face in the morning and to remove my make up every evening. I've tried and tested various types of cotton pads, mostly the ones sold in either Boots, Superdrug or Savers (even ones that claim to be non-fleecing) but all of them left a trail of cotton either on my face or in my eyes!

I am pleased to share my opinion of a Boots own brand Baby Large Cotton Wool Pads which actually do not fleece.

Illamasqua June 2012 Haul

Selfridges was the place to be last Thursday 31st May. The beauty event was heaving.
Selfridges is my local after-work joint for a make up item or 5 from the Illamasqua counters!


Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter 075 Lollipop

So, I am in love with these glosses so much that I went and purchased yet another one!

Please see my previous post for 3 more colours in the collection: Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters
And also the very first colour I purchased: Macaroon Swatch

My 4th colour is 075 Lollipop!


Crazy Color No 41 Cyclamen

In my world, a birthday is always a great time to try something new for your new year...

2 years ago I bleached my locks bronze and I loved it... then I got bored!

I told my hairdresser I wanted a change. A deep fuchsia, purple or reddish colour and she suggested I buy a Crazy Color No. 41 Cyclamen, so I did!


Illamasqua Lipstick in Apocalips

When this lipstick first launched, I was drawn to it... It's so different and indeed called to my alter-ego!


I dared myself to buy it, so I did!


My first Glossybox! (May 2012)

I finally got my hands on my very first Glossybox after being away this month!
