Last week I wrote about my non-surgical eye lift revelation which was, probably to many people’s disappointment, simply the power of a good mascara. No trickery, no miracle-promising skincare ingredients, just simple lash definition and a bit of lift at…
OK, you have to bear with me here, because the revelation that follows is so unbelievably obvious I’m almost embarrassed to post about it. What we have here isn’t some new-fangled eye cream ingredient or a fancy, muscle-toning massage move.…
I’m partial to a bit of brown mascara for daytime makeup looks; often jet-black can look a little bold and stark, especially if I’m trying to keep things low-key. There’s nothing wrong with bold, of course, and if you want…
Here’s an easy way to wear blue around the eyes without looking like a five year old in a beauty pageant: a few coats of mascara wiggled right into the roots of the lashes, top and bottom, so that there’s…
Apologies in advance for my “before and after” photos (below): I didn’t ever think I’d be zooming in so close, so I have millions of bits all over my face! Just to clarify, the black bits aren’t flakes of this mascara, they…
Oh my God, behave! This mascara from Guerlain is almost too sexy to be legal! I’m a long-term Guerlain Maxi Lash fanatic, so this new version was bound to tickle my fancy, but still: even I was taken aback…
A new and rather exciting launch from Lancome; a mascara that promises to solve all of our mascara-applying woes! My particular mascara grievances are: wands that are too long and uncontrollable and bristles that are just ridiculously chunky. With too-long wands…
Another week another set of beauty reviews. The Chanel Foundation was reviewed in slightly more depth yesterday, which leave the Amazing Cosmetics concealer and the Miss Manga mascara from L’Oreal. Amazing Cosmetics is a brave old name, isn’t it? A bit like This Works – though fortunately,…
Nice little flash offer for you; in celebration of the fact that Lancome’s amazing Hypnose mascara is 10 years old, you can grab any version of it for £10 instead of the usual £22.50 (here). Permanent products such as these are almost…
Another bunch of beauty reviews for you; this time I’m “live testing” Lancome’s new Miracle Air de Teint foundation, Clinique’s new Feathering mascara and a second mascara, a violet-hued Maxi Lash version from Guerlain. The response to these videos seems to be very good, so I’ll…
Only Chanel could make hallowe’en colours look chic! The murky, khaki greens of the nail and eye shades and the pale pumpkin Mystique lipstick… My absolute favourite item from the collection is the Khaki Bronze Le Volume de Chanel Mascara which is limited edition…
This mascara from Clarins is fast moving up my favourites list. Partly, perhaps, because it has a very good short and sturdy wand that I find it very easy to use, but mostly because it gives unbelievable length and separation…
