One of my desert island beauty products would have to be gel eyeliner. It lasts for ages, gives precise, dense colour, and is so much easier to handle than liquid (see my rave about Essence Gel Eyeliner here). So, predictably, I was very excited when budget-friendly and cult favourite Aussie brand Face of Australia announced their new Budge-Proof Gel Eyeliner …
I bloody love Futurama! My sister and I used to dawdle before dinner so we’d eat right at 6:30 pm every weeknight, when Futurama would play on free-to-air TV. We’ve definitely seen every episode at least twice! So you can understand my excitement when Tara, the creator of Loki’s Lacquer, announced her Futurama-based collection, with every polish named after a …
I’m an Asian BB cream devotee – after my bad breakouts while using heavy MAC foundation, the combination of skincare and medium coverage was a happy medium. But I’ve tried to branch out lately with these new products (while also buying a 4-variety sample pack of Skin79 BB creams to feed my addiction of course).

Two more swatches of Alanna Renee’s first collection this morning! Part 1 was here, now for some fiery colours… Ablaze is another shade I’m completely enamoured by. I was a bit unsure of the black glitter dust (also in Reptar) at first, but it’s really grown on me. As well as the black dust, Ablaze has irregular matte yellow, orange …
Today I have something special – my first set of swatches from a new indie nail polish line, Alanna Renee.

Alanna Renee launched last week, and several shades are sold out …
Euro Centrale is OPI’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection, inspired by the clash of classic architecture and modern art in four Central European countries – Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania . It’s got a bunch of cremes, with a few shimmers and a glitter topper thrown in. I’ve swatched three of the shades from the collection: OPI… Eurso Euro is a …
The theme this week is indie, but since I’m away, I thought I’d just post some swatches of Gloss ‘n Sparkle, Emily de Molly, Femme Fatale and Pretty Serious instead of attempting nail art. Gloss ‘n Sparkle Witches Britches – purple crelly with three sizes of black, jade and orange glitter. This was a Halloween limited edition polish, and it’s …
Today I have two shades from Orly’s forthcoming limited edition Hope and Freedom collection. It’s predominantly a range of pastel shades, with a dark navy shimmer thrown in the mix. They have very hippie names, and the shades remind me of faded 70s psychedelic album covers. Coachella Dweller is a pale green creme, with a slight yellow tinge. I love …
