Happy (Belated!) 6th Birthday MAF!
Image located via google stock shots. Creating an image unique to us, was far more than the capabilities of the MAF team...
Well, I managed to forget our Birthday last week. To be fair to myself, I was nursing a sick child, sick husband and ended up writing the week off as a bad job when I ended up on Antibiotics myself…!
I did however have a lovely Tweet from the Image Box PR team wishing...
Amarya the Beauty Box that get’s it right
Well I guess that this time of the month is that time of the month. No, not that one, but the one where everyone starts talking about what’s in their beauty box. Whether it’s Glossy, Boudoir, Latest in, or someone else, there seems to be a Beauty Box, and probably a Beauty Gripe out there.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve never been sold on the idea of Beauty Boxes. I’m...
Dear Blogger, Hi There, and other such openings…
Are you okay with being addressed in such a way?
According to Twitter, many are not. Personally, I’m not bothered!
I never get involved with Twitter bashings, and in actual fact, I haven’t seen anything recently on there (I’ve been nursing a collective of ill children!) and haven’t been on twitter properly really since before Christmas, so this isn’t a response to anything...
Illamasqua – Sophie-I Collection and Technique
There’s one thing that Illamasqua does, and does well, and that is to allow you to express your inner makeup artist, and to flex your creative wings. Sometimes though, even us makeup artists, we can feel as though our wings have been clipped, and there are some women who just want to do something different, but don’t know where to start.
Illamasqua’s counter is always a good place...

Voya the Irish Seaweed products are alive!
Every year, over 40,000 people visit the seaweed baths that were opened by the Walton family in Co. Sligo back in 1912, so there has to be something in that Seaweed doesn’t there?
The Zoya team explain it far better than I could, so;
“Seaweed naturally absorbs or metabolises their nourishment from the sea. As a result seaweed contains countless minerals, vitamins and beneficial ingredients...

Clinique Almost Lipstick 7 new shades!
With Black Honey being a firm cult favourite, it was a real shame when Clinique got rid of the others from the Almost Lipstick range; Black Raspberry, Black Plum and Black Raisin were incredible colours, however, I suppose they were just a bit too similar to one another to justify having 4 scary looking black lipsticks on the displays!
Fast forward 3 or 4 (or maybe even more!) years, and woo hoo, the...

Hope’s Relief
When Winter comes to visit, dry skin comes out. We have the heating on higher, and our skin dries out. The wind blows in our faces, and our skin dries out. Kiddies who are prone to eczema end up with itchier skin than normal. But what do we put on our skin and bodies? Most usually, it’s a steroid based product, usually an emolient of some sort, and often quite a greasy feeling product.
