September Collective Haul

This month is known with me as the 'Fashion Olympics Month' and with all the new season stock coming out in the shops I couldn't resist not buying a few bits and bobs from the new collections so I will be starting out this collective haul with clothing and accessories.  The first purchases from New Look were this gorgeous navy blue lace peplum dress and this cute pair of shorts which also...

The Exit Interview Series: Volume #13

This month I feel really proud of myself in terms of empties as I have managed to use a product that was included in my Project-Ten-Pan and 4 more skin care products that I was trying to go through amongst others. So let's dig into it! First up is Nivea Creme which has been a staple product for years now. I had this small tin in my work bag so that I could apply it after each time I was my hands...

Review: Essence Vampire's Love Trend Edition (November 2011)

In anticipation of the Essence Breaking Dawn Trend Edition coming out in November, here's a thorough look at the past year's Vampire's Love Trend Edition. The Vampire's Love Trend Edition was created with the various vampire series which were all the hype (and still continue to be).  At first, I was only interested in the Cheek Stain or Blush Gelee but when the stand was available at...

Review: Born Pretty Store AODL UV Gel Top Coat

If you recall this review about one of Born Pretty Store's soak off gels, I had mentioned that I would have liked it more if the range had a top coat to go with it, so you can imagine my joy when I logged on the Born Pretty Store website to choose the next products to review and saw this gel top coat as part of the new nail art arrivals!! So let's have a look at the packaging first.  Basically...

Review: Catrice Ultimate Colour Lipsticks

If I had a Euro for every time someone tells me that Catrice lipsticks are amazing, I would probably have accumulated a small fortune. And...if I get another Euro for each compliment I receive on the pigmentation whenever I wear one of their lipsticks, I would have enough money to buy myself a pair of Louboutins!!  Joking apart, today, I will be reviewing the Ultimate Colour range today...

Review: Catrice Prime and Fine Highlighting Powder in 010 Fairy Dust

With the new Catrice products launching later this week, I thought I'd fit in another review.  This is the second face product that I got at the launch and even though highlighter is not a product I use everyday (in fact this is the only actual highlighting powder I own), I was still intrigued by the product. What drew me to it was actually the sleek, sturdy, black packaging and... the...

Review: Catrice Ultimate Lip Glow in 010 One Shade Fits All

Today I am going to review one of the products I was most excited about at the new Catrice products launch. Enter Catrice Ultimate Lip Glow in One Shade Fits All. As soon as I saw the product, it reminded me of the same concept of lipstick from L'Oreal and Maybelline, minus the hefty-for-a-drugstore-product-price-tag so I was obviously curious to see how the product works. Luckily for me,...

40 Questions Tag

It's been a long time since I last did a Tag Post and since a few days ago I was tagged by the lovely Rachel & Jessica from Beauty is Our Passion, I decided to go ahead and do this fun 40 Questions Tag!

Just like sister brand Essence, Catrice Cosmetics have also come up with two Limited Editions which are currently on sale, namely, Cruise Couture and Coolibri. I have had the chance to try some products from these limited edition collections during the Essence & Catrice bloggers' event in the beginning of August but after seeing swatches of the other products that other bloggers got, I went...
