Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss



Wow - I can't believe I got my grubby little mitts on these gems.

They are limited edition releases and include (top pic) from left to right: coral reef, peach petal and pink pop. They are smaller than the Chanel lipgloss glossimers but look very similar - very sophisticated.

I purchased them after a late night run from pharmacy to pharmacy trying to get hold of coral reef and pink pop (they had only been laid out on the shelves that day and were already sold out!!).

And now for the horrible :(...pouty lip posts....here goes,

Lip a la Naked


Coral Reef


Pink Pop


Peach Petal



They are opaque, frangrance free and most importantly non-sticky...so there will be no sticking of hair in blowy wind-type situations.

Another favourite quote....



The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!

- Henry Ward Beecher

Orofluido is Hair-rific!!



You have to check-out this product! AMAH- ZING!

The name is Orofluido - Beauty Elixir for your hair.

It is a mixture of essential oils: Argan, Linseed and Cyperus Oil. The oils are rich in vitamin E and fatty oils. It claims to strengthen and de-frizz hair (especially those who - like myself - have fine hair) whilst keeping hair light, silky and very shiny.

It does just that.

Did I also mention that it also smells divine? I almost think of it as a 'hair perfume'. Certainly there is nothing more attractive to the opposite sex then the heady smells of the known aphrodisiac scent of vanilla.


Pour it ON, I say hee hee....(JK :))


Flowers make me happy!



A picture from my recent holiday in Egypt - I love flowers and I love pink.

Work has been non-stop recently and I felt a need for a pick-me-up! Hopefully, it gives you a smile, as it does for me :)....

Another HG Find!




The famous Lancome Bi-facil - is THE best, most readily-accessible makeup remover on the market. It is described as follows,

'Double-phase, fresh-as-water liquid eye makeup remover. Activates when shaken to gently whisk away even waterproof eye makeup, while conditioning and refreshing the skin. Ideal for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers. Leaves eyes feeling cool and relaxed'.

And it does just that.

Makeup simply melts off. No rubbing-:) reducing harm and wrinkle formation to the delicate skin around the eye area. I love it and will continue to buy it till the end of my day.
