5 Ways to Tackle Pigmentation
Antioxidant serums I’ve harped on about the importance of topical antioxidants for a couple of years now, ever since I started using one under my sunscreen halfway through a Greek island holiday and it stopped my tan in its tracks. Having that kind of tangible proof that antioxidants slow down sun damage is the reason…
Jules’ October Favourites
Maybelline Master Strobing Stick Illuminating Highlighter in 200 Medium* Good highlighters are unfortunately rather difficult to find at the drugstore, let alone in a subtle, creamy formula that isn’t full of chunky glitter. Luckily for me, Maybelline sent us their version so I put it to the test in a First Impressions video earlier in…

Maybelline claims that the push-up wing brush sweeps lashes to the side, while lifting and plumping from the roots, creating a cat-eye…

I decided to give them a go recently, and I am just as smitten as she is. The set contains three matte crayons: a contour shade, a bronzing…
Products I’ve Hit Pan On
Sounds a bit random, right – who wants to see a pile of beat-up old makeup? Well, the idea of this post is to show you the powder products I actually use the most and offers some insight into some of my favourite makeup items that don’t always make it onto the blog:
Latest Love: Beautiful New Brushes from Morphe & NARS
As I mentioned in my Summer Holiday Favourites post, there are a few categories of makeup that I hoard more than others, like foundation primers, eyeshadow palettes, nail polishes and texturising sprays. Makeup brushes should definitely be on that list and even so, I recently bought some more! I got these while I was in…
