So before I start ranting again, I thought I’d ask you dear readers, what you think about a problem I’m having with an item I purchased recently. I purchased a facial toner/lotion, the Japanese liquid type from someone I have bought from before – Vooboodoo on eBay, the same person who runs Facial-shop.com. They tend […]
Wordless Wednesday: Yellow Chocolates
Thanks Emma. Chocolates from here. Crap. Does that make it non-wordless? I guess I’m no good at being wordless. 🙂
Shampoos that fade hair dye! Head & Shoulders VS. Avalon Organics Clarifying Lemon Shampoo!
Recently I dyed my hair and it was way too dark – urgh. I have been here before. I wanted to help it along and fade the dark dye so I asked on Twitter which shampoos would work best for fading. Two were overwhelmingly recommended: 1. Vosene 2. Head & Shoulders Shampoo Original Formula I […]
My 5 Favourite Work Friendly Eyeshadow Palettes
There was a time when I’d go to work with blue and green purple sparkly eyeshadow – what can I say, it can be dark in the mornings and it wasn’t until I checked myself out in the lift I realised how much I looked like a CRAZY PERSON. The fact is I am very […]
Are you a Sweaty Betty? Try Kobayashi Riff Underarm Sweat Sheets
Will you believe me if I say I’m not that sweaty? No? Ok ok, fine I sweat. I have this strange thing where the colder I am, the more I sweat. Or maybe it’s the chills! Recently in the UK it’s been a bit hot, but not nice hot, a really hot sweaty, humid hot. […]
Shiseido Charity Auction for Japan Tsunami/Earthquake Appeal on eBay, 11th August – 21st August 2011
It wasn’t that long ago that a fateful earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tohoku, Japan struck, and triggered the devastating Tsunami which killed over 18,000 people and destroyed every home in its path. People there still need help and support. Many Cosmetic Companies have donated towards the relief appeal already and Shiseido, the epitome […]
Frugal Friday: What are you reading?
It’s time for another Frugal Friday and this time…let’s talk about other things to do other than: A. Buy make up B. Think about buying make up, and C. Writing up lists of make up to buy. Reading! I love reading although I don’t have much time for it anymore. I have a massive book […]
No. 6 MUA Professional Eyeshadow Heaven and Earth – Swatches and Review
Yes I saved the best for last. Heaven & Earth is the brown toned palette from MUA Professional (and I am into browns at the moment!). It’s a great palette – a mixture of warm and a few cooler browns, beige, golds – lovely. Is it like Urban Decay’s Naked palette, I hear you cry?! […]
No. 5 MUA Professional Eyeshadow Palette Dusk Til Dawn – Swatches and Review
Dusk til Dawn is one of those palettes that I knew was very me – I love the green. I will buy a palette based on the strength of its green only. That and the silvery hues look good. I presume the name, Dusk Til Dawn suggests you can use it for night and day: […]
No. 4 MUA Professional Eyeshadow Palette Starry Night – Swatches and Review
Another palette I instantly knew I would like from MUA professional was Starry Night! This is similar (or closest to) Sleek’s Storm palette, but more wearable thanks to the purples, greys and lighter shimmers. Did I tell you I currently have an obsession with pink eyeshadow? I like how they provide different shades, like the […]
No. 3 MUA Professional Eyeshadow Palette Pretty Pastels – Swatches and Review
Next up is the MUA Professional Palette in Pretty Pastels: Hands up right away! My least favourite. I just don’t like pastels that much. Some people do, especially those who like natural colours. I just find this palette quite samey and soft – but it IS pastels! It is delivering what one would expect!
No. 2 MUA Professional Eyeshadow Palette Poptastic – Swatches and Review
Next up on this MUA palette day (hehe) is Poptastic. This is the brights one – full of blues, pinks, yellow and orange. This is the sort of palette I usually jump for but in my old age (ahem) I am really loving more neutral shades. Nevertheless, there’s always room for some brights. Once […]
No. 1 MUA Professional Eyeshadow Palette Glitter Ball – Swatches and Review
I recently got the whole set of MUA Professional Eyeshadow Palettes in the post. There are six palettes to choose from, and each comes with 12 colours. They are similar to Sleek I-Divine Palettes and are just £4 each from Superdrug. I have so many photos I have decided to split each palette into it’s […]
Why Dreamhost hosting sucks: A brief review
The site has been down pretty much all day today, (4th August 2011) and after around 10 hours of being down, it is back up. It’s been a busy day so I haven’t had the chance to throw any sausages at the screen, nevertheless, it’s been very frustrating to have people me saying they […]
Wakey, Wakey! Herbalife Quick Spark Lozenges with CoEnzyme Review
Regular readers may know I don’t get much sleep, and nearly every morning I clasp on to the duvet, the lovely warm duvet and pray that God will turn back time for a few hours so I can catch more Zzz’s. Never happens though. People who get little sleep like me will feel the lull […]
Skingenesis Manchester suck, Destination Skin Manchester also suck
I don’t know what it is with me and spa treatments but whilst some are bliss, the others are just disasterous. Some you don’t even get through the door… Take Skingenesis, a seemingly professional chain of salons with one in Manchester. I bought the Wahanda offer a Microdermabrasion treatment (I still have that spot scar […]
Tisserand Remedy Rollerball Review in Sleep, De-Stress, Energise, Head Clear & Diet Aid
I am all for aromatherapy and I am all for convinence. So when I got this lovely selection of Tisserand Remedy Rollerballs I was kind of excited – for one one thing, I think I could do with some improvement in all five of the following areas; Sleep, De-Stress, Energise, Head Clear and Diet Aid! […]
Wakey Wakey! Rohto Z! Pro Refreshing Eye Drops Level 10 Minty Review!

Holika Holika Honey Sleeping Pack in Canola Review & A Sleeping Cat
Holika Holika, one of my current hot brands from Korea has newish range of Sleeping Masks (what is a sleeping mask?) based on the power of Honey, honey. Sleeping packs are worn throughout the night as you sleep and the idea is that you can wake up in the morning and look like you’re 10 […]
Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturising Lip Colour Balm in Woopin’ Watermelon Review & Swatches
Clinique’s Chubby Stick is a very appealing combination of lip balm, sheer lip colour and pencil…should you like drawing with lip pencils. It has a lot going for it, on paper, such as not requiring a sharpener (just swivel up!). When Clinique had it’s bonus time, always generous, always pointless because I never use them […]
