I’ve raved about Burt’s Bees very wearable lip shimmers in a previous blog post, and I’ve included a tube of their excellent lip balm in my giveaway, but Burt’s Bees also have other products in their new colour range too! First off, for the timid, there are the tinted lip balms. These give a very sheer wash of colour, which …
I really liked the two polishes I’ve already swatched from OPI’s upcoming Gwen Stefani collection, but the polish I was really hanging out for was Push and Shove. There was a lot of mystery surrounding this one – the samples all had a blank nail for this shade, and they had an agonising slow reveal for the bottle shots. So …
I’ve never been a mainstream pop fan, so I’ve been lukewarm about the choices for OPI’s music collaborations so far (Katy Perry, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, and of course good ol’ concerned-selfie-face Biebs). But I’m a No Doubt fan from way back, so I was very excited when OPI announced that they were releasing a Gwen Stefani collection! In True …
It’s December already! As I mentioned in my gift guide a few days ago, OPI has a new collection out for Christmas, which includes a new gold leaf top coat, like The Man With the Golden Gun from last Christmas’s Bond collection.

My shade has been in the works for months, and today I finally get to show you swatches. Behold: …
As many Aussies know, the long lusted-after brand NYX has recently hit our Target stores, so I thought I’d share some of my favourite NYX lip products. I ordered these from Cherry Culture during one of their regular NYX sales. I chose all of these based on blog reviews and swatches only, so I was very pleased when I only …
Brows are such a pain in the arse. I specifically grew my fringe so I wouldn’t have to deal with them. That’s a lie, actually – it’s also because I have a freakishly large forehead, but the brows were a big factor too. And after years of hearing my beauty-obsessed friends talk about how brows are the most important facial …
I’ve always wanted to do controlled comparisons of the eye makeup longevity, but there are lots of issues with actually conducting them on the eyes from a scientific perspective. First off, notice how one eye is usually harder to do than the other? That’s because most people only use their dominant hand, and therefore applying makeup differently from one eye …
