If you follow me on social media platforms you will see that I talk/tweet/post often about a lipstick range I just adore called Lipstick Queen. Lipstick Queen was founded when Poppy King was struggling to find that perfect red lipstick in her hometown of Melbourne Australia, therefore, she decided to create her own range. Twenty years on and the brand is going from strength to strength. Within the brand of Lipstick Queen there are separate ranges that consist of different textures. Today’s blog is about the range Saint. I love the Saint range which has 10% pigment which generally means...

I am so lucky to receive surprise parcels in the post. A couple of weeks' ago a parcel arrived of some skincare and make-up from RMK Beauty. You may be asking who are RMK? Never heard of them! RMK Beauty is one of the leading make-up artist brands in Japan and is widely recognised in Asia.   Here, in the United Kingdom, you can visit the counters at Selfridges London, Birmingham and Manchester. In my personal life, I am obsessed with anything from Japan. I am in love with the culture, history, sense of style through to the simplicity from how make-up brands showpiece themselves which...

It's time to put your heavy foundations away for the summer months coming ahead. You may ask but what can you wear instead as you like to wear some coverage on the skin? I must admit myself I don’t wear foundation, I tend to prefer a light tinted moisturiser on my skin and use concealer as and where I need it. BB creams are generally as a rule slightly richer in texture and have more coverage than a tinted moisturiser. I was really pleased with the results of the latest BB Cream by Kiehl's which I have been using over the last couple of weeks. The main benefits of Kiehl's Actively Correctly...

After having to have some recent surgery taking a month to recover and recoup, my skin was left feeling dry, sensitive and generally feeling a need for some pampering.  My first thought to get my skin back to its pristine condition was which mask do I use to help me with my skin? After much thinking time, I came to the decision that the most appropriate one for the condition of my skin was Sisley Facial Mask with Linden Blossom This mask I can only describe as “pure luxury in a tube.” Imagine you are applying the most luxurious cashmere onto the skin with a feeling of the rich, velvety...

There are so many concealers on the market and we walk around the department stores and look bemused at which ones to choose….  they are either too white and chalky or too dark for the skin tone which leave the skin feeling clogged up with the make-up. I came across a concealer by Ariane Poole whom I met many years’ ago and had the good fortune that our paths crossed…. she offered to re-train me back into the industry after I left the fashion industry and has been my mentor. You may ask who is Ariane Poole?…. Ariane is an international celebrity make-up artist who has worked with...
