Kjaer Weis Cream Foundation

At the beginning of the year I wrote about my love of the prospect of a Kjaer Weis foundation. Now four months down the line, a few shopping trips and quite a few make-ups later, I have had plenty of time to play and have decided it was high time to share my thoughts...

Behind The Brand: Kure Bazaar

Question: What do have potato, cotton and wood pulp have in common?

The answer? They are all found in a bottle of Kure bazaar nail polish...

Top Five: Blue Eyeshadow

For many blue eyeshadow reeks of the 1980's, of first forays into make-up and of ancient Yardley wearing relatives. Blue has hardly had the best of track records when it comes to adorning the lids so I can understand if you are a little dubious when I say that blue is back...

Ilia Beauty Lipstick: Neon Angel

One of the great things about spring/summer beauty is the emergence of vibrant shades. I am a big lipstick fan but over the past few years I have fallen prey to the practical, low maintanence charms of tinted balms (Hurraw! balms usually). On a night out I am usually seen wearing a dark or red lip, but of late I have (for probably the first time in my life) been rocking the brights and loving it!

Love: NYR Frankincense Facial Oil

Having always been perfectly content with using a moisturiser, I didn't feel the need to use anything else until recently but this month I am in love with a product that has revolutionised my skincare regime (I use the word loosely as it very much varies on a day to day basis) in recent months; Rejuvinating Frankincense Facial Oil from Neals Yard Remedies.

Josie Maran: Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelée

For many years I primarily used powder blush both personally and in my kit; primarily because there was a distinct lack of variety in both product and colour choice in any other genre of cheek product. In recent years my affinity with cream based products has grown and it is now by far and away my favoured way to add colour to the cheek.

So now I pose the question - When is a cream blush not a cream blush..?

From The Vault: Dr Hauschka Natural Mascara

Back in time again today to revisit Dr Hauschka's Natural Mascara. Have my thoughts and feelings changed towards it? Take a look...

Top Five: Eyeliner Brushes

Last year I began a series on my Top five brushes for this, that and the other. For one reason or another I took a break from the brush posts but I have decided to get the ball rolling again and pick up where I left off - with the eyes. This month its all about lining...

Education, Education

Make-up is ever evolving and I am a big believer in the old adage you never stop learning. I am always looking to update existing skills, learn new techniques and find out more about products and brands. This week I had an education double bubble and took part in two training sessions - on the same day!
