Another focus on a specific shade of a product today, but this time it's an eye shadow palette; one of the seven variants of Rimmel Glam Eyes Trio in the shade collection called Tempting. Tempting is a green themed edit with two shades of green and one ivory shade for highlight and contour. I don't think I've ever used a green eyeshadow on myself in my entire life, but recently I've started to try and be a bit more experimental with shades so[...]

Bali is a true cherry red with some gentle blue undertones that will whiten your teeth and br[...]
Out of all of the fabulous new products coming our way from the new Avon Ultra Colour collection, I think the Lip Crayons are going to be the ones to cause the most excitement. Not only are they a purse-friendly £7.50 each, but they also come in an impressive range of amazingly opaque shades. I have five of them to show you, the only one missing is Notice Me Nude. There are several shades I absolutely love; namely Carefree Coral which[...]

My skin is crazy, as anyone who knows me/follows the blog/follows me on Twitter will know. When the pregnancy started my skin, for whatever reason, just completely drained of moisture for the first couple of months which was novel for someone who's so used to oily skin. Now it's back to it's old tricks with some serious oiliness and hormonal breakouts, but nothing too major or painful thanks to the routine that I'm sticking with at the moment.[...]
If you love your make-up to be bright, on trend, easy to work with and flattering then prepare to be wowed by Avon's newly redeveloped make-up range. Firstly, it's absolutely massive so I thought I'd do a general overview post s0 as not to bore you to tears, so this is just an introduction to some key elements from the amazing new collection. The new Avon True Colour collection focuses on the delivery of true colour; meaning that what you[...]
I seriously did not know how to phrase the title of this post, as it's a bit of a weird issue to discuss; I would imagine some people will read this and wonder what the hell I'm on about, but there'll also be people who read this and know exactly where I'm coming from...to cut a long story short, there is a type of colouring that falls into the pale category and usually goes hand-in-hand with mousy/ashy tones in hair, skin and eyes. This is the[...]

Here we have a quick look at what is probably my favourite part of GOSH's AW13 collection, the Smokey Eye Liners. GOSH Smokey Eye liners are available in four shades: 01 Smokey Black, 02 Smokey Brown, 03 Smokey Plum and 04 Smokey Blue. I zoned straight in on the Smokey Plum variant and it''s interesting how it actually works a lot better on the eyes than it does in the swatch below. GOSH have got the balance just right with these smokey[...]
