[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] These mini eye-shadow palettes from Urban Decay are perfect for those of us who don’t want to commit to bigger palettes – I don’t know about you but I’m wearing a lot less eye-shadow these days and only using one or two colours at a time. I can’t even …

[purchase/affiliate] I was in Chinatown last week and there’s a little alleyway with shops that sell bubble tea and snacks but nestled amongst those is a beauty shop selling Korean, Japanese and Chinese beauty products. It’s got the same magnet as Zara has, as in, I can’t walk past it …

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] If you like your day creams light and silky but still plentiful with hydration, turn your attention to Sephora’s HYA All Day Hydrator – nicely priced at £14.99.

Silverwood Brands has bought nail brand NBY London (Nailberry) – that’s not particularly interesting in itself but the investment company was founded by ex-Lush co-founder, Andrew Gerrie.

CHANEL Holiday 2022 Collection There are two versions of Eclat Lunaiere Illuminating Face Powder which depicts facets of the …

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] The Tarte Tartelette Juicy Palette is from the bag I was given at the Sephora launch and I notice that they have quite a strong presence at Sephora. Previously, one of the few places you could get Tarte products was QVC and I never even think to watch that …
