My Interview with Ana Goes Green

A couple of months ago I was approached by Ana from the beauty and lifestyle (with an eco-friendly twist) blog Ana Goes Green, who asked if I would mind answering some questions on natural and organic make-up and on my work as a Make-up Artist. 

RMS Beauty Living Luminzer

A product that surely needs very little introduction, Living Lumizer is a real cult favourite and one of the few organic make-up products which has made it big time - Make-up Artists Kenneth Soh and Alice Lane are both big fans as are Miranda Kerr and Gisele!

Benecos Lipstick Anmesty

If cleaning and green-ing up your make-up bag was one of your New Years resolutions then this post is just for you, for natural beauty line Benecos have launched a LipstickAmnesty!

YTTP Age Prevention Firm & Brighten Serum

Occasionally a product comes along which completely and unexpectedly blows your mind and potentially revolutionises your approach to skincare. One such product was kindly sent to me in mid November and on first use the phrase OH MY GOODNESS (loudly, hence the capitals), was repeated numerous times to anyone who would listen - including the cat!

Give And Make-up

In a change to my usual formulation for picking posts from the vault (i.e. finding the oldest), I decided that I would repost a post which I published in the middle of last year. Although relatively recent, I felt that January was the perfect time too give it another airing - I hope you don't mind...

Pantone: Colours of the Year 2016

For the first time in it's 16 year history, Pantone have for the first time chosen two shades to carry the accolade of being named PANTONE Colour of the Year 2016; Rose Quartz and Serenity...  

A harmonious pairing of inviting shades that embody a mindset of tranquility and inner peace.

Top Five: Products of 2015

I can't believe this post has come Round again so quickly! My mother always says that time seems to speed up as you get older and I think she's right - but 2015 has really flown by! I am ending the year as I have done for the last two or three with a round-up of my favourite products; an eclectic mixture of nails, skin and make-up.

'Tis The Season

Outside of work I am not the most organised individual and yet again Christmas has crept up on me but for once I am feeling quietly confident. Having completed most of my gift shopping, made (with the help of my three year old) and written (without said help) the few cards I send to close family and friends and made (once again with help) six baked bean christmas cakes* I feel I am on a roll...

From The Vault: UNE Lip Gloss

My last trip down memory lane for 2015 takes me back to a product which on the whole I admit to finding difficult to love; lip gloss. That said there are one or two that have caused me to give them a mention...

Top Five: Budget Eco Make-up Gift Ideas

Making your Christmas an eco-friendly one needn't push the budget and to prove the point I have put together a list of clean, green make-up gift ideas that come in under £20.00 (approximately $30.00USD).

From Desk To Dancefloor

The Christmas season is now in full swing and many in-boxes and in-trays are full of emails, texts and memos arranging after work drinks and office dinners and parties. Those last minute invitations are great but can prove more than a little stressful if you don't feel you have time to prepare for the occasion.

Top Five: Luxury Eco Make-up Christmas Gift Ideas

Now December is underway, I can now turn my thoughts to Christmas. As someone who is mightily antagonised by the appearance of crackers and christmas puddings in the shops before the arrival of the twelfth month, I make a point of not thinking about it until then.

A Beautiful World

False eyelash application is one of the things that I get most frequently asked about. They are one of those things that unless you apply them regularly it is easy to get in a tizz about; I for one am much better at applying them to other people than I am to myself as I do it far more frequently - plus you can actually see what you are doing!

Muse by Intensae

If you follow my other Instagram feed @eyeslikepandas (general life and make-up pics rather than organic specific ones) then you will have had a sneak preview of my new found nail love a couple of weeks ago. If you don't then here we go...

Top Five: Australsian Eco Brands

Last month I began a series of Top Five posts on the best eco make-up brands from around the world. Having kicked off with my Top Five brands from Germany, I am now heading down under to explore the make-up brands that Australia and New Zealand have to offer...

Step By Step

In the new year there will be a few new additions to my blog - along hopefully with a (somewhat delayed) new look. One of the new additions I have lined up is the introduction of regular How To guides and it is here I am looking for your input...

Top Five: Beard Oils

November. The month of fireworks, poppies, turkeys... and moustaches. Its that time of year when guys around the world put down their razors and put up with the itch in aid of mens health - yes, its Movember!

From The Vault: Vapour Beauty Soft Focus Foundation

This months trip into the depths of the OMUA post vault revisits a liquid foundation that didn't take long to make itself at home in my kit...

Natural Beauty Yearbook 2016

This week saw the return of one of the most anticipated events in the natural beauty calendar and the one in which we get to find out who has made it into the 2016 Who's Who - yes, it's time for the launch of the Natural Beauty Yearbook!
