Argh, someone help me. I am hyperventilating. Big time. I have just seen the preview pictures of the new MAC Maleficent inspired collection.
I have proclaimed my love to Maleficent many a times, and have finally dressed by as my favourite Disney “princess” last Halloween, so I am dying to get my paws on some the items.
In all fairness, I have always dismissed creamy eyeshadows. And not because I don’t like them, but because they melt like butter on my lids – and worst of all – sit on the crease creating a very unflattering line of sticky darkness.
When I tried the GOSH Forever Eye Shadow, I thought the same was going to happen, but for my surprise, they stuck in there. I think I am converted!
Let’s get one thing straight: I’ve never been a great fan of anything that is called a balm. I blame that on my beauty pet hate: the BB creams.
So along came the B. Rescued Energising Balm – to break my skepticism – I mainly tried as it has “energised” on the name, and let’s face it, most mornings I need some energy. And I was pleasantly surprised.
GOSH Cosmetics has come up with some crackers this season, and the Prime ‘n Set Primer and Mattifying Powder is one of them. As my main beauty tip is prep the skin, I love all things primer. However, I had never used a powder primer.
I was familiar with Balance Me, but I will admit I didn’t really know the extent of their range or the natural goodness of their products. Good thing they had a lovely skin analysis event at their concession at Debenhams Oxford Street and I got to not only have my skin analysed but also find out about their products and try a few!
Balance Me has recently launched their Natural Protection Moisturiser, which has SPF25, just in time for the warmer (we hope) season.
It’s been a while. Obviously, I haven’t been walking around naked; a mix of lack of time to photograph, uninspiring cold days where I couldn’t be bothered and that emotional problem solving kinda got in the way.
My wardrobe is starting to get packed with some lovely spring goods, but so far the legs haven’t seen the daylight in London. Hurry, while I still have a tan!
Fluffy black crop top from New Look, checked/floral knee length skirt from a swap party, black court shoes from Christian Louboutin, necklace from New Look, bracelets from Primark, rings from Forever 21, Topshop and Accessorize.
Before I went away, I decided to do a simple, but effective mani, as I knew I was getting my talons done professionally for the duration of my stay.
So I use the beautiful Stargazer Chrome nail polish in 236, a beautiful blue hue on my very short nails – I broke one really badly so had to give them all the chop!
All eyes on Brazil – I noticed many beauty brands have launched lines inspired by Brazil in preparation for the World Cup. Under the tagline “Ours are the most beautiful supporters in the world” Brazilian Beauty and skincare giant O Boticário has taken it a step further, launching a whole line of products to be used not only to mark the event but also when cheering for Brazil during the World Cup.
How about a pop of colour for your eyes this spring? With these lovely Stargazer eye shadows, you can be on trend and budget!
Superdrug has become the first UK retailer to launch a nail printing service. The Fingernails 2 Go digital nail art kiosk allows us to quickly print anything (really, anything) on our talons.
