Pink Haired Princess

As part of my summer reviews, I've swatched all, yep all 42 Lancome Juicy Tubes that I own. If you don't know what a JT is, where have you been? It's the original squeezy tube lipgloss with slanted applicator and I can remember it's launch vividly, even although that was 10 years ago. The glosses are quite thick, smooth and extremely glassy-glossy and each is scented. I know some people hate their stickiness, personally it doesn't bother me plus it makes them more long lasting. Some colours look crazy in the tube, turquoise, green or yellow for example but are more sheer when applied. There are several different finishes, some are metallic, some infused with micro-glitter, some with more sparse glitter and so on. Lancome have produced several limited edition colours in special packaging over the years. The first illustrated tube was Marshmallow Electro with an image by Julie Verhoeven. Then came the 'World Tour' series named after the fashion capitals of t...

I've been busy all afternoon photographing and swatching all of my Lancome Juicy Tubes! I've always wanted to do this, but it's a really big project because I have so many. It'll take me a little while to edit the images, but I'll hopefully get it done over the weekend.

You know I'm a massive fan of the Pearl Lowe at Peacocks collection-I've bought practically everything from the two most recent ranges (and posted loads of pictures and reviews). I actually took delivery of yet another dress this week (along with 2 floral dresses from the Peacocks range) and I'm waiting for my PL vanity case to be delivered today! It's not only the vintage inspired shapes I like, but the fabrics, colours and the fact that the range fits up to a very generous size 18. I've heard this new collection is sized 8-16, but I'm hoping (praying) it's an error and will be made up to an 18. The last collection did have certain styles only up to a 14 or 16, so I really hope this isn't the case (because I want so many pieces). The autumn collection is hailed as 'the best yet' and judging from this video preview, I agree! I am just so excited to see it all. I simply adore the lace collar pleated dress, it screams 'vintage' while t...

The Irregular Choice winter styles started appearing on the site yesterday-I'm so excited! I also found a couple of great links to Lyra Mag which have amazing photos of some of the new styles. I am absolutely in love with the peep-toe knee high boots from Poetic Licence shown at the bottom of this page . Swoon! I totally need them in every colour. Also on that page are the wonderful IC wedges that light up!!!! I'd heard about them, but didn't know if we'd ever see them. Ahmazing! Below are the gorgeous Sazzle boots, loving the multi-coloured zip, although I fear they will be quite a slim fit which probably won't fit my calves : ( The latest Poetic Licence range is absolutely their best yet-I'm just as excited (if not more) about the PL stuff shown here . I like the distressed metallic platforms, rosette shoes boots, crushed velvet peep toes, velvet and glitter mules and the absolute must-have for me is the Racy Lady frill shoe-boot. Absolutely gorgeous! I'...

Ok, I promise not to bore you with many more Taaz images, but I've learnt a few things from using it over the past couple of days. I'm completely unafraid of colour. I kinda already knew this, but had it reconfirmed, when I tried this platinum blonde version of the dark Katy Perry cut I loved. It shouldn't work, but actually I reckon it looks ok (if it was 'real' hair rather than the awful quality of the Taaz colour shown here). With the right makeup and cut I reckon I can get away with any colour, which is very lucky. This leads me onto the next point which is 'I am afraid of the cut'. I've tried picking styles I don't like on the celebrity or that I do like on them but don't think would suit me. More often than not, I realise I'm right, it doesn't suit me. -I don't suit up-do's. Although I never wear my hair up these days, I used to never wear it down, so it's surprising that I completely dislike it up. -I don't suit...
