However, the moment I approached the Lauder stand my eyes widened and I was pleasantly surprised with their offerings. I don't tend to purchase much from Estee Lauder, apart from their Double Wear foundation as it strikes me as more of...

The Perfect Nude Lipstick

Natural Collection Lipstick, 'Apple Blossom' £1.99 Mac 'Naked' Lip Pencil, £11.50   I know quite a few people steer clear of nude lipsticks because they fear the dreaded concealer lip effect, but for me reds and nude's suit my skin tone.

Favourite Fragrances

Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Eau De Toilette, 50ml, £41.50 Beyonce Heat Rush, 50ml, £26.50 Victoria Secret Very Sexy Now, 75ml     Years of lengthy bus rides stuck behind women who smelt almost as if they'd bathed in perfume massively put me off trying any for myself. It's only in the past few years that my interest is slowly growing. I know I'm not alone with this, but heavy, musky scents don't seem to mesh well with me and...

Illamasqua - Generation Q

You may remember a little while ago Illamasqua released a collection called 'Generation Q' based on the idea that beauty is in everything and everyone no matter the age, gender or race. Beautiful sentiment, is it not? In the collection there were some stunning products and luckily enough, I was sent the following products to trial and feedback my thoughts on. Gleam Cream in 'Aurora', £18 - an iridescent, champagne pearl highlighter.  Nail...
