It's been a banner couple of months for mascara. First I discovered Fibre Lash from Modelco and now testing out a mascara from Benefit, one of my favourite cosmetic brands called They're Real! (£18.50). It launched last quarter and promises to plump up your lashes to look as though you are wearing falsies. The key is the rubbery style brush that has been designed with staggered domed-tip Read more
Summer is here, and I'm so excited about the new fragrance launches. Awhile back, I had the opportunity to privately view the Laura Mercier counter at Harvey Nichols, and I fell in love with a scent that launched last year called Ambre Passion Elixir. The fragrance is the latest in Laura's cult Ambre Passion range and sells for (£75) online where it is currently in stock. Elixir is the first Read more
It doesn't get any cuter, or any more English, than this folks! I've just heard that tea megabrand Tetley has launched an exotic and tropical tea-inspired fragrance from the rolling hills of Kenya called Le Brew by the Tea Folk. Tetley is banking on a British survey that revealed tea is the country's fourth favorite scent. So we now can sit down with whatever beverage we fancy, and still enjoy Read more
Since 2003, Liv Tyler has been the muse for the Irrésistible fragrance line for Parfums Givenchy, and now, they are getting ready to launch a new Eau de Parfum called Vig L'Intense, or more formally Very Irrésistible Givenchy L'Intense, (but oy — what a mouthful that is)! Inspired by the self-assured, rock-chic and feminine qualities that Liv embodies, the fragrance is "tender, charismatic, Read more
Last month I told you all about the amazing, new Pure Color Lipsticks and Nail Lacquer collections that Tom Pecheux designed for Estèe Lauder debuting the latest True Vision technology. What this means for the 45 lipsticks (£18 each), is that they are long lasting, creamy and true to colour, so whatever you see in the tube is how it looks on your lips. This has to do with the fact that the Read more
A year and a half ago I did a wonderful phone interview with celebrity facialist Michelle Peck. And when I say wonderful, it wasn't just your run of the mill chat, we talked for some time about beauty, skin, living abroad and lots of fun tangents about life. You see, not only does Michelle work closely with Madonna, Naomi Campbell, John Galliano and many, many more, but the journey that she's Read more
It's no secret that I'm a fan of Nars. I like the rubbery feel of their packaging, their lip products don't have any sort of overbearing smell or taste and they wear well and blend flawlessly. So when I head grumbles about a new lip release to follow their popular Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, called Velvet Gloss Lip Pencils (£17.50 each), I got really excited. This version looks like the matte Read more
If you're a Glee fanatic and plan on traveling to London anytime soon, you might want to scoop up the new Glee themed fragrances that are at Boots now. There are three scents out, Gold, Purple, and Red, each retailing for 10 quid, or about $16. Stateside, we're about to see a whole new line of Glee nail polish, so maybe the perfume will be here next. The color-coded scent thing doesn't appeal to Read more
New from my favourite Australian beauty brand, Becca Cosmetics is the Fallen Angel Collection for Christmas. The five piece, limited-edition collection for the eyes and face include two, three-piece palettes, two dual ended eye pencils and a shimmery liquid, metallic shadow. Inspired by fairy tales and heavenly angels, the range is both sweet and seductive with an emphasis on dewy skin, tawny Read more
Surely they're kidding, right? A cream that helps you slim and firm — all with zero effort? That's what Soap & Glory is promising with a relatively new product that I've just discovered called Sit Tight (£14). The cream is what the brand is calling, 'Sit Activated', meaning that it works better when you're seated on your hind quarters! How does it do it? Apparently, it contains a Read more
