DAY 3 I wake up to find that a) somehow during the night I have been run over by seven ten-tonne trucks and b) I am definitely about to die. The drama queen in my brain is screaming "this is it! You have the shakes, you feel sick, you're weak, you can't move - YOU ARE...
17 Falsifeye Mascara
I have become rather preoccupied with packaging lately. Perhaps because I have so many beauty products that are all in jet-black tubes, I have started to reach into my makeup bags and drawers and clutch at the first thing that stands out from the crowd! Hence my...

Educogym – the Victoria's Secret Model Plan

Sales, Me, Bankruptcy.

Blonding Time at the Aveda Institute

Friday Flash Review: Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill
"Now these shadows are something I could quite easily get obsessed with...just look at that packaging! If James Bond made eyeshadows... Little glass jars filled with what looks like loose powder but is, in fact, the loveliest fine-milled metallic pressed shadow....
Soap & Glory Terrific Trio!
I know that Soap & Glory always seem to have a 3-for-2 offer on in Boots, but when I passed through Liverpool Street Station today and saw the promotion running it reminded me of three (coincidentally!) products that I have been using on a very regular basis...
