ORLY Plastix

OrlyPlastixI try not to pick favourites with nail brands, but slowly but surely Orly has crept into the number one spot, and it may remain there indefinitely. Perhaps it’s the myriad of colour choices, the long lasting power of the shades, or that you can get away with only one coat (hallelujah) which dries really quickly. They’ve just told me all about their new Platstix Collection and I’m very excited. It pays homage to 1980 style brights and the lovely looking Purple Pleather has to be my pick of the bunch.

This is a wand which lets you add some much needed sparkle to the eyes, allowing you to use it under or over mascara.

Do you think Jennifer Aniston is Lovalie?

Aniston scent

Jennifer Aniston’s first scent has just gone on sale, and it’s a whimsical mix of floatiness and Grecian delights. “I wanted this fragrance to be a personal library of scent memories. For example, my love of night blooming jasmine has lasted a lifetime. Growing up in California, I distinctly remember the scent of the jasmine on summer evenings,” comments Jennifer. She hasn’t mentioned anything about the fact that she’s posing naked on a rock, but hey, it’s good to show Brad what he’s missing out on right? Personally, I’m a big fan of Ms Aniston, and her perfume sounds lovely, light and unpretentious with some very delectable ingredients. Read more

Epibronze Fake tan that gives you a real tan- seriously?

Summer tan_epibronzeEpibronze is the latest self tan on the block, but it goes a little further than your average ‘hint of tan’ moisturiser. The secret is in the formulation, as not only does it give the skin a lovely golden glow, but it also encourages production of melanin- meaning you get a fake AND natural tan. For realzies. See after the jump for the science bit… Read more

Eylure ‘The Collection is Luxe’ uses Swarovski Elements

Eylure_Luxe

How much would you spend on a pair of false eyelashes? Realistically they only have 2-3 wears, if you don’t mess up up on the first application, so paying anything over £15 seems a little crazy to me. I say that, and then I look at this Luxe Collection from Eyliure and I want every single set! They utilize Swarovski crystals on the lashes for a really luxury look, and they’d make your eyes majorly pop. Read more

Collection 2000 Colour Intense Solo Eye Shadows

ur, the Collection 2000 Colour Intense Solo Eye Shadows (£1.99) are the way forward! These pretty pots have been updated with seven new shades to spice up any outfit with a simple splash of catwalk colour.
Autumnal notes of aubergines, bronzes and bottle greens are back, so try any of the Collection 2000 Colour Intense Solo Eye Shadows to complement your favourite frock and sizzle all season.
Did you know that Collection 2000 held a competition with LOOK magazine to find four unknown fashionistas and give them the chance to demonstrate their fashion finesse? Well, following the success of the ‘FAB Set’ competition, our four winners visited the Collection 2000 head-office for a day of product naming brainstorming. Each of the new seven Colour Intense Eye Shadows shades were creatively titled by our very own fabulous FAB Set, tying in with the brand sense of fun and the colour of the compact… And so it was that Key Lime Pie (lime green), Playful Punk (purple), Moon Drop (grey), Blue Crush (light blue), Love & Money (grass green), Truffle Ruffle (brown) and Sugar Rush (bronze) were born.
Three of the original Colour Intense Eye Shadow shades have stood the test of tasteful time and complete the collection: Viva Vegas (pink), Charcoal Glitz (black) and Frosting (white).
For just £1.99 a pop, re-claim your summer sizzle with a colourful boost

2000shadowsCollection 2000 is one of those brands that everyone used as a child, but one that will impress you when your adult self rediscovers it. Packaging has changed, formulations are so much better and colours are well pigmented. I’ve just heard news that they’re releasing a selection of Colour Intense Solo Eye Shadows (£1.99)  and the shades are very versatile and pigmented, giving you great colour for such a friendly price.

The names of the shades are all instilled with lighthearted fun- see below!

Key Lime Pie (lime green), Playful Punk (purple), Moon Drop (grey), Blue Crush (light blue), Love & Money (grass green), Truffle Ruffle (brown) and Sugar Rush (bronze) .

Out in September.

Perfume Review: JLO Deseo

JLO deseo

JLO is pretty good at releasing at least one scent a season, but just because her new ones are nose wateringly lovely, doesn’t mean the rest should go straight into the bargain bucket. I’ve been a fan of JLO fragrances for some time now, as they combine warm muskiness with light ethereal notes that tickle the senses and I love JLO Deseo. Read more
