I’m a sucker for winged liner. It makes my eyes the focus of my face, it draws out the shape into something more cat-like, and it’s a classic look. I also have a few constant problems with achieving the perfect winged look: The colour fades over the day. I may start out with a jet…
Favourites from Sally Hansen Miracle Gel and Complete Salon Manicure Collections
I like simplicity, especially when it comes to manicures. Elaborate nail art or professional gels are not my thing. I prefer plain nude or one-colour nails, and I usually do them myself. It’s a very simple procedure that involves a little bit of filing and buffing then applying two coats of nail polish and a…

Beauty Battle: In Shower Moisturizers
I had no idea about lotions that can be applied in the shower until MY HUSBAND told me about them. He was travelling in the Philippines and forgot to bring body lotion so he went to pick some up and came across the Nivea In-Shower Body Milk. It was quite interesting for him to find…
L’Occitane en Provence Verveine Agrumes
I am definitely one for luxurious body products so maybe I was a wee bit biased when I first set eyes on two of the products from L’Occitane en Provence’s Verveine Agrumes collection it was love at first sight.
