From Clinique’s perfectly formed Pop Matte lipsticks (yesterday’s post, read here) to a decidedly more cheery and cheeky matte offering: Tanya Burr’s Soft Luxe Matte Lip. I came across the one I’m wearing in the photo below, which is called Puppy Paws, completely by…
I promised a slightly more in-depth review of Dior’s new Ultra Gloss but then realised, re-reading my last mention, that I had already summed it up pretty well. This is gloss with attitude – a mirror-like shine and a finish that’s…
I felt it would be remiss of me to go through another week without writing about the new Juicy Shaker lip gloss/oils from Lancome. I did include them in my March Favourites, but they deserve a bit more applause than that, for the concept…
I mentioned in last weekend’s Chanel Spring 2015 post that I’d come back to you with my verdict on the Rouge Allure Gloss and it’s a definite yes from me. I’m not a habitual gloss-user; they get on my nerves because even…
The three lip products above look almost identical in tone, don’t they? When I was trawling through my still life photos (I tend to do a huge batch all at once, at the beginning of the month) this picture really…
I don’t tend to get excited about lipglosses (apart from crystal-clear pristine ones, see Gloss Prodige in the last “Thing of Beauty” feature) but the new Urban Decay Ultra Nourishing ones have really grabbed my attention. It helps, I suppose,…
There are few things as satisfying, beauty-wise, as a pristine, crystal-clear lipgloss. It’s the cosmetic equivalent of fresh, untrodden snow. It’s virtually impossible to keep a transparent gloss clean and so I spent more time than was probably necessary taking…
I’m in Dubai and as it is nice and sunny I’m in full-on summer makeup mode. I’ve been cracking out all of the lip colours that I didn’t get around to wearing earlier this year, the first (and favourite) of…
As you know already (probably), I don’t wear a lot of lipgloss. I find it difficult to pair lipgloss with my lifestyle (now and then I actually drink, eat and also go outside where the wind sometimes blows) and…
I have to be honest here and say that the “Autumn” collections are always my least favourite. It’s always the same old blah blah blah, dark lipsticks and eyeshadows in varying shades of “leaves turning orange, then brown, then falling…
Something insanely lush for you to covet – you may thank me later. This is the Rouge G l’Extrait from Guerlain, an entirely faultless lipstick encased in something that can only be described as a work of art. Now I know that…
I’ve got a bit arty with my photograph today! It’s not that great, mind – there’s only so much you can do with an iPhone, a desk lamp and the back of a Natwest envelope! And the Estée Lauder gloss…
