Chanel Sublimage La Crème Yeux Eye Cream

On purchasing a raft of Chanel items post-Christmas, I received a number of very generous samples of this from the Chanel SA in Brown Thomas.  I have been using it sporadically since.  Overall, me likey.

KIKO Cosmetics Review

While in Venice recently, I chanced upon a cosmetics store called KIKO, selling their eponymous brand of makeup.  It's a reasonably new venture, founded in 1997 in Milan and now has stores all over the world, including an online shopping branch in the UK as I've recently discovered while doing some further research at home.

Vying with Inglot for volume of shades and formulations of both makeup- and skincare- products, and looking a lot like a candy store, I was hooked.

The most fabulous eyeliner ever: MAC Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner (Black Line)

MAC Pearlglide Intense Eye Liners
The three I have T -> B: Petrol Blue, Black Swan, Black Line 

The MAC Pearlglide eyeliners came out originally in the Art Supplies Collection (as far as I recall) and were once LE but are now part of the permanent line.  I am in love with these liners.  They're soft, soft, soft.  There's no pulling, tugging, dragging, skipping or missing with these.  One swipe is enough to deposit quite a lot of these - there's no messing with several applications.  There's no having to warm them up prior to use.  They go on and set in place.  They last and last and last for ever and a day without fading.  All good things.

Off out to Harvey Nichols food hall went I around about the time of Valentine's day to get some treats from the OH (he's partial to the old pistachio Persian Fairy Floss).  And sure it'd be a crime not to visit Space NK concession while I was there!  A brand I'd been reading about, and meaning to try, Hourglass Cosmetics, took my eye on this particular visit, and so, armed with lighter-than-silk (and about the same price as silk) candy floss (for him) and another bronzer/highlighter duo (for me), I left Harvey Nick's that day happy out.

And it's taken me until now to get around to playing with it and blogging about it (the shame!)
