Is it fair to say that all colours are season specific, or are suited only to one hair colour, skin colour or eye colour?  Is it possible that one can use every colour of the rainbow, assuming the right tones have been chosen? A firm believer in this, whilst I’d love to wear grass green tops and scarves, I know that I can only where yucky manky khakis and sludges, but the same isn’t true... 

Normally, the product testers do individual reviews, which are posted here. This week however, one of our Moderators from the forum, the lovely Kylie Toft decided that a couple of lines was enough….  I have to agree, and the ensuing conversations were too amusing to leave out.  So copied here for your reading is the current ongoing conversation from the forum which you can access here!!! kylie Posted:... 

Its all about the Yellows this week, with everything from nails to eyes, liners to bathing products, and some things in between, yes even lips…! Yellow can be sunny, it can be caramelly, it can be bright and it can be muted, but here are some top MAF picks for Yellow products to help you consider spring! Oh, and because MAF is based in North Wales, some Daffodils as it’s nearly St David’s... 

This is the 4th year that Clinique have got together with Great Ormond Street Hospital to raise money for their Children’s Charity, and this year, as always, the products that Clinique have launched are second to none. Smoothie Kisses! This year, Clinique has created a special NEW Limited Edition Smoothie Kisses Lip Gloss Set featuring the latest lip launch from Clinique, Vitamin C Lip Smoothie... 

Like so many things with makeup, its easy to get into a rut, same colours, same products, same face every day. Time to step out of that comfort zone, and into some colours! This time, we’re featuring oranges (and a coral or two!).  But don’t ever be scared of colour, with a good quality eyeshadow, you can buff it down to a mere hint of colour, or use it as a flash line on your upper lashes. ... 

Red.  A colour that some run scared from, and others embrace with wide open arms.  Red is everywhere in Beauty, from nails to lips, eyes to cheeks, to perfumes and brushes. As a red fan, I had to take some time to see who’s got what out there, and build up a list.  When the list first started, it was quite small.  Its now huge!  Just have a look! But it’s not just me, or MAF that’s... 

For those that love and adore Smashbox products and collections, you won’t be disappointed with their latest offering for Autumn 2010, the Masquerade Collection.  For anyone who doesn’t know Smashbox products, this is as good a place as any to make a start. Eyes, lips, cheeks, everything covered for a Colour Collection (no bases, no concealers, just colour!) The first product I was drawn... 

With soft taupes and creams and a splash of plum, Clinique’s Autumn trend for 2010 is a collection of shades and colours that are sure to suit everyone, and make you feel and look beautiful. What makes this collection so lovely aren’t just the colours.  That would be too simple; after all, anyone could produce these colours.  It’s the actual products themselves combined with the colours that... 

Is it possible that a brand could be any more fun that Jelly Pong Pong? I’ve been using their products for quite a few years now, from back in the days of the infamous Hump Balm! Most recently though, I took away a handful of their products on my sunny funny holiday to Turkey, and they all came in handy! As the ultimate sparkly girly, I had to take the crystalliser away with me.  4 sparkly powdered... 

xjenniex2008 aka http://all-that-glitters-and-sparkles.blogspot.com/ and @jennifer1986!  a long standing MAF forum regular, and product tester, Jen’s been doing quite a bit of testing for MAF over the last few weeks, and this is just one of them! I tested this in the shade Blancmange. On first impressions the packaging is quite cute, it doesn’t look cheap. It smells very sweet, you know... 

Kylie Toft tries out The Balm’s tinted gloss. This is a really lovely product and I’ve loved testing it. The flavour is awesome, reminded me of banana shrimps! Yum yum.  My lips are very dry but this product has really helped them and they feel in much better condition. It stays on for quite a while and I loved the slight tint to it- I used ‘Girly Girl’.  On the downside it... 

If there’s anyone who’s going to take a seasonal trend of colours, and make it literal, it’s going to be www.findmeagift.com who do it. They’ve taken Ice Cream back to child-like fun!  6 Ice Cream flavoured/scented lipbalms in Strawberry, Tutti Frutti, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Cookies ‘n Cream, Bubble Gum and Mint Choc Chip!  These mini pots of balm look like miniature...
