Another Breast Cancer Awareness Month product just landed on my desk - two actually, in the shape of these lovely Pinks With Purpose from Bobbi Brown. An Estee Lauder company, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics has launched this cute lipstick duo for this year's Breast Cancer Campaign. Evelyn H.Lauder co-created the Pink Ribbon in 1992, and it has become the universal symbol for breast health. The Breast Cancer Campaign has raised more than $76 million … [Read more...]
It's October again, and in the beauty world that means a plethora of pink products for Brest Cancer Awareness Month. It seems a little low-key this year. Maybe I'm just not getting the right releases. It's not only Estee Lauder Companies that run breast cancer charity initiatives in October, but it was Evelyn H Lauder who launched the campaign in 1992 with the co-creation of the Pink Ribbon, the universal symbol for breast health. The Breast … [Read more...]

Whisper it, but this is the Christmas collection from Orly. Yep, Deep Wonder is all about sparkle, shimmer, a bit of a different take on classic Christmas reds, and it's lovely. Orly polish is great, and these six new shades are fab. It's so hard to choose which one as a favourite.The richly pigmented colours are inspired by futuristic party wear, and I love the deep green shimmer, Retrograde, and the purple shimmer, Nebula, the most, I … [Read more...]
This month, Temple Spa is supporting the charity MIND, coinciding with World Mental Health Day on October 10. The offer they have put together is great, and features their best-selling, cult product, Repose. I do have a bit of a problem on this, because Temple Spa is a UK-wide brand, but MIND is an England/Wales charity. It's a shame some of the donations aren't going to SAMH as well - the Scottish mental health charity. Because Scottish … [Read more...]
I get A LOT of products and I like to try to sometimes feature brands that are a bit different, or have a story to tell. SheaMoisture certainly does. It's the legacy of the brand owner's grandmother, Sofi Tucker. Grandma Sofi was widowed at 19, and, to support her family, made and sold her handcrafted shea butter soaps and other creations in Sierra Leone. Sofi became known as a healer who shared the power of shea and African black soap with … [Read more...]

Benefit has positioned itself as the brow brand of the nation, and to celebrate National Brow Day (today, Octrober 2), they launched the Limited Edition Blockbuster Brow Set. Yes, it's another brow set from Benefit, but it's a brilliant one - and great value. It actually launched last month, but it's still available and it is SUCH good value. It contains FIVE of Benefit's best-selling brow products (full size), and one brow tool. It … [Read more...]

SHISEIDO is not a brand that I keep up with, but its colour game has always been strong and this AW is no exception. The latest colour collection is vibrant, and full of brilliant products in excellent colours. The brand has also just announced a new Global Colour Ambassador - Patrick Ta. “Shiseido has such a rich heritage and there is so much to tap into as a makeup artist," said Patrick on his appointment. "The brand also has a history of … [Read more...]
