If you check out their site you’ll see they have a wide arrange of flavours that range from the expected chocolate and strawberry […]

It felt like just the other day that Jimmy Choo launched its first fragrance, a sexy-smelling mix of tropical flowers with an indulgent dollop of toffee.

If you’re a regular reader you’ll know I often bang on about hyaluronic acid. Something that occurs naturally in your skin, its one of the best hydrators on the block as it can attract and hold up to a thousand times its own weight in water. While we’re born with lots of it, we start […]

A little while back a company called Mini-Me got in touch offering to help me create a li’l Lego version of myself so I took them up on it. Creating a teensy Lipglossgirl turned out to be super duper easy. All I had to do was visit their site and pick out my bits – […]

So Revlon do this thing where, when they drop off a press pack, they want their promo girl to take a photo of you holding it to ensure that it got to you. I have no clue why they do this, but hey. Still, there couldn’t have been a worse time for their latest delivery. […]
