Pupa is an Italian range of kitsch designer make-up worn by the likes of Jennifer Aniston. The glitter and shimmer cremes come in really cute glass packaging in shapes likes teddies and bees. Although they look like toy make up, both adults and teenagers love them. Although the make is not big in England at the moment, it could be the next big thing. Pupa is a well known brand in both America and Italy. The shimmer creme is gorgeous and very light. All the ingredients are hypoallergenic and I have had no problems on my very sensitive skin. The range is very high fashion with all the colours of the rainbow available. The shimmer and glitter cremes can be ...  Read the complete review

Cute as cute can bee (excuse the dreadful pun), this is a metallic cream presented in a clear plastic bee-shaped pot. It comes in several colours, but I chose ?lillia sunset? which is a beautifully shimmery silver/lilac. It can be used in a multitude of ways: 1) Dab a tiny amount onto your palm or cosmetic sponge and spread all over the face as a complexion brightener underneath foundation, to give your face a luminous glowing quality with tiny particles of sparkly stuff that catch the light. 2) Use as a highlighting cream on cheekbones for a sculpted look. 3) Put a dab on top of your lipstick to make lips look fuller and to give them a glossy ...  Read the complete review

Plastic Shine by Christian Dior If you want gloss that's dramatic and really, really, very shiny, then this is the way to go. That surprises me, just because Plastic Shine has been advertised so much over the past year or so - surely it couldn't be any good? Well that's what I thought so i didn't even bother to try it at the counters Well when I was given one as a gift I was absolutely astonished - it's fantastic! So fantastic I now seem to have the whole range (apart from the nasty orangey colour!) This is definitely not a look for the faint hearted, this is an incredible look, whether in one of the neutral shades or ...  Read the complete review

I love kissing, especially at Christmas as the mistletoe is a good excuse to get lippy with all sorts of people (although not Aunt Hilda with her wrinkled lips I'm afraid). So naturally, I want my lips to look gorgeous and luscious. Yesterday, whilst I was doing some Christmas shopping I noticed that in Boots there is a special offer on selected brands of make up, including Boots 17, whereby if you spend £15 on make up, you get a rather nice silver jewellery set. The jewellery set is a necklace with a diamante stone and ear-rings in the same style, simple and classy. So I thought I would treat myself and buy some decent make up for once instead of the ...  Read the complete review

Magic Lash (by Magic Lash) If you really want those brow-sweeping lashes but don't want to wear false ones, this could just be your answer. This is one of those well-kept beauty secrets - a truly remarkable product that does something incredible for those with short or sparse eyelashes (like mine!). The advertisers describe it as 'false lashes in a tube' and that's not a bad description - except there's none of the hassle associated with false lashes - and this stuff certainly can't drop off in your soup! Basically this looks like a mascara tube with a wand like a mascara wand. But there the similarity ends. The product is ...  Read the complete review
