re.view: Urban Decay Naked 3 palette! **UPDATED**


The Naked 3 Urban Decay palette is here...and boy it's a beauty! I was actually going to hold off buying this until the initial frenzy was over it was back in stock after a few months (since it's not limited edition, sooner or later you'll be able to get your hands on one if you want one), however I was lucky that I received this one as an early Christmas gift!

re.commend: Mascara mix-n-match!


Problem: Have a mascara I like, have also a mascara I don't like. The mascara I like is finished...what to do?     
Solution: Mix 'n' match!

re.view: Dr Jart+ BB Beauty Balm (Platinum)

Oh the photos are on their sides again! Apologies for this persisting blip, but at least I bring you a positive review! The Dr Jart+ BB Water Fuse has been popular in the blogosphere for some time, but my preference is for the 'Platinum' formula.  Not only do I prefer the richer texture and glowing finish, and high spf (30) but it actually improves my skin!

re.commend: Naked 3 - out in UK stores

Thought I'd let you know quickly that I picked up my Naked 3 yesterday from House of Fraser but I also passed through Debenhams and they had released them too and only had three left that hadn't been reserved. They are due to be released online tomorrow in these stores and they may have more stock, but this will go quickly if you are hoping to grab one before Christmas.
Pictures and review coming soon!

re.view: Rimmel Colour Rush lip pencils

A lovely little (pinky) nude.

I bought one of these Rimmel Colour Rush lip pencils to compare with the Bourjois, Soap and Glory and Clinique chubby pencils.

...and I like it!

re.view: CND Sticky Base Coat

Apologies for the sideways pictures! My computer is playing up and not allowing me to swivel them. However, this product looks great any which way around and works even better. I am a real nail varnish fan and even more so of products that make my existing varnishes perform better. I read about CND Stikey* base coat somewhere on the World Wide Web and determined one day that it should be mine.... I got the opportunity to finally buy it recently to make up to a certain total to receive a discount and luckily I am rather pleased with it.

re.view: Sleek Blush by 3 Pink Sprint palette





My second Blush by 3 set from Sleek - the first being the popular Lace collection - I though this time I would brand out into some more plummy shades for Autumn.

re.commend: Urban Decay Lip pencil in Ozone

Today's post recommends a product that looks rather uninspiring, but I couldn't do without it. I've seen a few brands make a lipliner, but I have this one, Ozone, from Urban Decay.

A little review on some Urban Decay revolution lipsticks that I've been enjoying! This review is for the shade 'Naked', but I've recently bought two more shades that I shall post pictures up for to follow this post.

re.create: Make your own palette! Stage 1


A rather more adventurous re.create today! And a 2-part-er at that. Here is the first part of the DIY palette!

This is a actually easier than it looks, and would make quite a fun activity for an afternoon with friends of with a younger cousin or sibling. It makes a rather heavy palette, because of the materials used, but it would make a really unique and affordable gift for a friend.

In Part 2 we will fill in the palette with two options, ready made eyeshadow-blush-lipstick, or make your own of these too!
