Hydration Diaries 3 | La Roche Posay Ceralip

10/30/2012 06:00:00 am

Hola! Today for you I have a complete and utter necessity. A product that has been an SOS product, a real saviour for my eternally-dry and eczema-prone lips. I sent an email off to Steph at La Roche Posay when my lips were in a ridiculous state, and I needed some instant, but long-lasting relief, and she immediately recommended this to me. From her rave reviews of this, I literally...

Hydration Diaries 2 | Balance Active Formula Hyaluronic 554 Youth Serum

10/29/2012 06:00:00 am

Hola! So I stumbled into a wonderland the other day - a store called B&M Stores, where I was faced with literally every product known to man: from crisps to mirrors, to babies to, to beauty, and I picked up this little gem of a find. Another Hyaluronic Acid product. If you have read my previous post (which will hereby be referred to as Hydration Diaries 1), you will know that...

Bandwagon? Moi? | Hydraluron

10/27/2012 09:06:00 pm

Hola! I am an AVID reader of Caroline Hiron's blog (find it here), and more or less anything she says makes up my skincare bible - I just love the way she just makes sense. From using flannels for washing faces (I have been doing this religiously since the age of 5 - waaaaaaaaaay ahead of the times!), to being careful with the use of active ingredients, and most lately, the introduction...

Missing? | Back!

10/23/2012 01:16:00 am

Hola! Apologies for the lack of posting of late, life just sometimes catches up with one! You'll be pleased to hear that I've purchased a fair few things to show you (including my new obsession - the onesie!), but for now I'll leave you with a pic of my (lovely) face! Love A.x...

Long Lasting Eyeliner? | Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal

10/11/2012 04:00:00 pm

Hola! I am wholeheartedly the smudgy, messed-up type of eyeliner wearer. Neat, precise, and flicked just don't seem to suit me, and as such I steer clear of gels, liquids, creams - I am a pencil gal. Precisely I am a kohl girl. Deep, almost dirty, mussy, no-fuss, intense kohl. So imagine my delight when I spotted the following: I cannot believe how long it has taken the...

Overlooked? | Maybelline 24h Superstay Foundation

10/10/2012 08:14:00 pm

Hola! This is a post about a rediscovered love. Once upon a time, before I tagged along on the Mac train, and dipped my toe in the designer end of make up, I used to wear one of three foundations: L'oreal Cashmere Perfect, L'oreal Infallible, and Maybelline 24h Superstay. Once I discovered higher end make up, these got left by the wayside, and I believe the Cashmere Perfect was...

Currently | Stila One Step Correct | New Fave Primer

10/09/2012 06:00:00 am

Hola, So, as the title of this post suggests, I have found a new favourite primer. Now, this is completely different from the primers I would usually choose, as this is a skincare-type primer, and I generally go for the lock-and-hold type primer. But this has truly been quite the revelation in my routine. I would class it as being in the skincare-primer category, as...

My interpretation | Triple Threat Facial

10/08/2012 06:00:00 am

Hola! Now I am an avid reader of about a gazillion blogs - mostly make up and skincare - and two of my top beauty bloggers are Caroline Hirons and Anna, who together quench my thirst for skincare info. Over the weekend I read this post from Anna, and thoughhtttttt ooooooooo what a super good idea, so the next day I gave it a go myself, and created my own version of...

Currently Hair Treatment | Coconut Oil

10/07/2012 06:00:00 am

Hola! My hair is probably not as pampered as it should be. It is verrrrrrry long, and I find it troublesome and annoying to apply treatments and wait for them to do their thaaaaang. So, more often than not my poor hair just plods along. Lately, due to changeable weather, and heating etc etc, I have found my scalp to be flaky, mostly around the hairline, and no matter what I did,...

Currently 4 | Concealer

10/06/2012 12:00:00 pm

Hola! Now, you've seen my list of foundations for the currently series, and today I am bringing you the best concealer I have ever come across: the Vichy Dermablend Ultra Corrective Cream Stick in Sand. Now this is the ULTIMATE concealer - in fact, it's a stick foundation, but I find that the high pigmentation levels in this, and it's creamy texture lead directly to it being a perfect concealer...

Thing of the Week 20 | Antipodes Divine Facial Oil | Rave

10/05/2012 07:12:00 pm

Hola! Let's just get this out of the way - I love this product. First of all, I love a good oil. Even on my oily-combo skin, I find an oil often helps to rebalance and degrease, and as such I have a little oil wardrobe consisting of oil-based cleansers, oil-balm cleansers, and a few oily oils! In fact, I've even got into using Johnson's Baby oil after a bath all over my body. But...

Currently 3 | Perfumes

10/03/2012 06:00:00 am

Hola! I have a fair few perfumes, and with the weather going all wintery, I have done a little shake up and mix up of my perfume collection, so today I bring you the "currentlys" of my perfumes: L-R: Britney Spears Fantasy, Kate Moss, Paul Smith Rose, Hugo Boss Deep Red, Karl Lagerfield Sun, Moon and Stars. All are beautiful scents, fairly cheap, and deserve a sniff! Love A.x...

Currently 2 | Foundations

10/02/2012 06:00:00 am

Hola! So here is part 2 of my "currentlys": foundation. I looooove foundation, and I think I've found quite a few gems, old faves, and a few brand new foundations, soooo let's have a little look! These are the foundations I currently reach for, and all have their individual unique selling points! The Estee Lauder Invisible Fluid Makeup in 2WN1 is the foundation I reach for most: it...
