One of my favourite nail brands + glitter + rock music influences names = win. There are four colours in the NYC Rock Muse collection and I managed to grab them all across two different trips to Superdrug. I’ll admit it was the polish names, subtle (and not so subtle!) nods to some rock greats that made me need these, but I’m actually a big fan of glitter polishes anyway so I’m sure they would have ended up in my…
Continue Reading ...I know I recently reviewed Clinique’s dramatically different moisturiser with a less than impressed view, but I figured I owed it to Clinique to offer some brownie points for this product. This is another moisturiser I have recently finished, and this youth surge SPF 15 is absolutely brilliant. I used it as both a day and night cream and although I wasn’t particularly taken with the smell, after continuous use I really saw the results. Although I didn’t notice myself…

Both feeling somewhat under the weather, we scrubbed up relatively well. Alas, it was a 1950s esque red and black themed wedding, so naturally I went for a red rockabilly style dress to make up for the lack of my usual red hair. This surely called for some distinct 1950’s nail art to go with it, so I have a…
Continue Reading ...After a pretty rubbish few weeks of Gem and I clawing through each day, surrounded by tissues and blankets, the arrival of this month’s Glossybox couldn’t have come sooner. Last month we were both a little disappointed at the contents of our boxes, so I was reasonably apprehensive about opening mine this morning just in case! This didn’t last long though as I peeled open the tab on the box and carefully removed the lid, revealing a treasure trove of…
Continue Reading ...Since Gem and I were struck down with the lurgy (god knows how since we both work from the comfort of our home, away from outside germs!) posting has come to a standstill. Thankfully, after sitting in front of the PC all week feigning work, with a head feeling as though it is full of tea towels, I finally managed to remove my nail varnish. I’ve had this diamond sparkle varnish for about a week now, but have been too…
Continue Reading ...WELL! Sometimes the weekend (and half the week!) just passes you by in a blur and suddenly it’s Wednesday, you have a cold and you’re thinking “what happened to all those blogs I planned this weekend?” We’re both knee deep in tissues and lemsips, and reeling from a very busy weekend so bear with us and usual service will resume shortly! Totally not hellbent for for the lurgy Gem & Pants
Continue Reading ...It’s the time of year when I should be focusing my purchases on others, ready for Christmas. Unfortunately all this does, is fuel my longing for products that I happen to spot along the way. There are so many things that I want -need- this festive period that I have no idea where to begin! First up, Dior in “Rouge Dior 999”, because even though I already own over 9000 red lipsticks, I really need this one! I don’t know…
Continue Reading ...I was lucky enough to win a giveaway run by Shannon over at Studs and Flicks and my prize just arrived! I won a Collection Hot Looks nail polish in Milkshake, Calvin Klein Tempting Glimmer in Sage Shimmer and an adorable compact mirror. Milkshake is a very grown up pink-ish nude. I actually only own a few nudes and I love fast dry varnishes so I was really excited to try this out. The brush is amazing and covered my…

MUA have a reputation for amazingly pigmented eyeshadows at unbelievably low prices. I already have three MUA palettes – Undressed, Glitter Ball and The Immaculate Collection, and I picked up Glamour Days and Starry Night in a recent haul. I will be posting a review and swatch of Starry Night soon, and will add the older palettes too if requested! Okay onto the lovely colours. Glamour Days has 12 different shades with a mix of matte and shimmer finishes. I…
