As most of us continue to slosh and slide through winter, you can escape by joining us for our weekly tour of noteworthy beauty and fashion features. Stay elegant…no matter what the weather… Sabrina has published the definitive comparison of Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Eyes to Kill Mascaras: Regular vs Excess. Ever wonder about the difference? Wonder no more. Read her review at The Beauty Look Book. Kari at Fab over [...]
As with most women, I have one criteria for my beauty products. I like them to work. So I don’t discriminate between high end department store lines and the more humble drugstore lines. Olay Classic Moisturizing Cream (not the lotion in the bottle but the jar of cream) is one of the humble products I love. I’ll get this out of the way immediately- it has some unpopular ingredients ( if [...]
My fellow blogger that I am introducing this week is Kelly from Gouldylox Reviews and her adventures in beautyland. I love her blog and the sense of humour and fun she brings to her reviews. She is warm and witty and just reading her writing makes me think sitting down and Playing Make Up with her would be a blast! She has a good eye for all things pretty. Meet [...]
We have a wide variety of beauty to share this week! Coming up to the end of January, it’s nice to look ahead to warmer times… From beauty, fashion, Spring collections, beauty at home and the ultimate in celebrity beauty, we’ve got the scoop on all of it. Sit back this cold winter weekend and enjoy the roundup. Charlestongirl from Best Things in Beauty got her hands on Giorgio Armani’s [...]
As winter drags on and the bitter cold outdoor air competes with our arid central heating, everything gets dry. Hair (that’s another post…) skin (that was last week) and of course, our lips. Stand in the Lip Section at your local pharmacy and you will see just how big a problem this is. Our favourite department store and niche cosmetic lines often have their own versions and some of them [...]
It is my pleasure to introduce you to Debbi, the beauty guru and mastermind behind DivaDebbi. She is a true beauty junkie (as we all are!) and shares her passion in the most delightful and engaging way. Debbi is a delight and when I read her posts I can only think how wonderful having her as my personal shopper would be! Shop, shop, shop..then maybe lunch? She is stylish, elegant [...]
Music ~ As a long time fan of the musical weirdness that was Roxy Music and is Bryan Ferry I was keen to hear Olympia. His latest release features some pretty cool dudes including Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, just to name a few. But it is the spooky & ethereal Brian Eno rejoining that adds that Roxy magic, especially evident on Tender is The [...]
For the past few weeks we have been introducing members of our Weekly Roundup Group and this week I am very pleased to introduce you to the lovely and effervescent Kari from the awesome Fab Over Forty blog. Being, well, over 40, I was immediately drawn to her site and after reading her amazing posts full of delicious photos, down to earth tips and beautiful temptations, I became a regular [...]
We’ve started the new year with a flurry of features to help you overlook the winter weather that has left our friends in the US with snow on the ground in 49 states and my part of the world in the midst of a bitter cold snap. Take a spin with us and dream of snow angels or sunshine and warmer days ahead. Your choice! Guerlain has introduced an irresistible [...]
This time of year is brutal for our skin. Dry central heating, with freezing temperatures outside can leave us with rough, dry, itchy skin. Moisturizing has long been an obsession of mine- I’ve been known to hold my daughters down and apply lotion if I thought their skin looked dry. The knees! The hands! The elbows! Ah those poor girls… I moisturize in the morning, and at night, and pretty [...]
