Glamour have really been busting out the big guns recently when it comes to freebies! This month’s freebie is a choice of four gorgeous Kate Spade for Nails Inc. polishes! I made a smash and grab for Soho Silver, but soon went to track down the other three available shades Big Apple Red, New York Noir and Uptown Glamour. They are full size 10ml polishes with an RRP of £11, so you can get the whole set worth £44.00 for a bargain…

NYC are really upping the game on glitter topcoats at the moment. As well as the gorgeous Rock Muse collection (reviewed here) I also spotted this gorgeous stand alone shade Disco Inferno. A clear base with blue and silver holo glitter, it really has to be seen up close to understand how absolutely gorgeous it is. I think it would look great over any complimentary shade but I really love how it looks over the dark blue. (B. Complete 180…

Miss Glossybox is the younger sibling of the HBFL favourite, Glossybox. A bi-monthly subscription beauty box aimed at teenagers. The box costs £7.00 (+£2.95 P&P) and everyone receives the same items. This month contains three full size products (worth £29.50 together!) and two sample sizes. Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash Despite being well into my twenties, I still suffer from breakouts like your average teen so this looks to be a great product for me. I’m a…
Continue Reading ...I’ts not all doom and gloom in the Magazine department, (despite my epic ramblings at Marie Claire) since Gem and I rely heavily on these for new releases of cosmetics and shiny samples for bargainous prices, I find myself getting through an awful lot of them. Remember the old days of Mags, when there was a “scratch and sniff” page, or you lifted the flap and were encouraged to smell? Only to find that by the time you had got…

Despite our recent falling out with some of Marie Claires ideals (which you can read about in Amie’s amazing post here) I couldn’t resist picking up this month’s offerings as you get a full sized Rituals body scrub worth £10! The Rituals Fortune Scrub freebie only comes in one scent – sweet orange and cedar – and it is delicious! A perfect early morning scrub that left my skin feeling amazingly smooth, well worth giving a try! Marie Claire…

You know when you see something so utterly vile you just have to have it? I think that must be the reason I picked up this Barry M polish, yet somehow I’m strangely compelled by how garish it is. It literally looks like a clown threw up on my nails and it’s hard to decide if I think it’s the best, or most disgusting thing I’ve seen! I didn’t use a base colour, and it took three coats to get…

I picked this up in a haul a few weeks ago, but only just got round to trying it out! It’s silly when I spend ages hunting around for something, and once I have it, it lies untouched…alas. I always struggle to find the right colour for my eyebrows, I’m a natural blonde but with my blue hair I find I need to darken them a little to not look washed out. The MUA Pro-Brow Ultimate Eyebrow Kit contains three powders;…
Continue Reading ...(Brains and I looking successful above. Note how we still look like a bunch of greebo’s, even though we are dressed up!) I now find myself reading a lot of Magazines. Most of the content I find is mindless dribble and I have to be honest and say that I’m only interested in either the products they come with, or the hope of finding miracle cosmetics that I don’t already own. Despite this, I still read them from cover…

Seems like this Birchbox came around really quickly! Not that I’m going to complain – Birchbox have had a winning streak of amazing boxes recently and this one is no different! For the uninitiated, Birchbox is a monthly subscription beauty box that tends to have between 5-6 beauty products and a lifestyle (usually some kind of delicious snack!) extra. This month is another big one with seven products and an overall worth that’s way above the price point. …
Continue Reading ...Well it’s Friday again, and after a rather rocky few weeks for Gem and I consisting of feeling under the weather and bogged down with reams of work as the festive season approaches it’s a chance to take a step back and relax. (Not for too long mind!) Today’s facemask is the Avon Planet Spa Thailand Lotus Flower deep pore cleansing facemask. (Bit of a mouthful there!) My favourite thing about this mask, is the way it drys, it turns…
