As some of you may know, I’m in Europe again for a couple of months. Luckily before I left, I went to a beauty event where I managed to stock up on a bunch of handy travel-friendly products from McPherson’s, who own many of the brands you’ll find in Aussie chemists as well as your local Priceline. Here are my …
A while ago, Kaz of Pretty Serious contacted me to ask if I would like to collaborate on a shade. YES, I replied. DUH. I mean, who would turn down that sort of offer? A crazy person, that’s who. After bouncing ideas around for a bit, we hit on the idea of a work safe polish with a difference. I …
