There are times when I go shopping online, and my brain just reels from the overpowering amount of information that is just on the front page! However, I love a simple and clean website, that doesn’t over complicate things, and leaves me feeling like I’ve seen some great images of products and that I will receive exactly what I’ve seen on the site. I came across www.SimpleBeauty.co.uk...

Maybe you’re ready... 

Tanya had a November wedding at one of my favourite venues, Belvoir Castle, which was a great setting for her glamorous winter theme.  The dress was very princessy with Swarovski Crystal accents and Tanya wanted a soft smoky look for her makeup to compliment the dress without venturing into evening makeup territory. I started by prepping Tanya’s skin with Benefit ‘That Gal’ primer – a lovely...

Colour- Blushing Pink I received this product off Sam to test out. My first impressions was that it is a lovely colour and the gloss itself was fairly thick, just the way I like a gloss to be. The applicator is just like a little brush, not like the pads that you usually get with other lip glosses and this did actually appeal to me. However, when I applied the gloss I found that it was quite difficult...

I have tested a Barbara Bort lipstick in colour 336 which is a pastel pink shade. As much as I wasn’t that keen on the colour on me, I did like the actual feel of the lipstick and the fact it felt moisturising. It had great staying power as well and lasted a whole morning without having to re-apply it. I am unsure of the exact price of this lipstick, but they are available in over 100 shades. Recommended... 

Shade tested: Petal Pink I tested this lippy while out for coffee with a friend. I’m normally a lipstick, rather than a gloss kind of girl, as I find gloss far too sticky. My normal favourites are MAC lipsticks. This lipstick came in nice packaging, and glided onto my fairly dry lips really easily. The formulation is reasonably creamy, but it was also a lttle too sticky for my liking. The colour...
