How To Make A Really Soothing Natural Eye Mask

Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in Flash

I treated myself to a new lip gloss from Dior last week. I'm a sucker for anything shiny that comes in pretty packaging.

CHANEL VITALUMIÈRE AQUA Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup Instant Natural Radiance SPF 15

I came across this product totally by accident. On a day-long, girly shopping trip I decided to ask the nice lady on the Debenham's Chanel counter for a make over. I jokingly asked her to make me look like the model in this picture, assuming that even the model in the picture doesn't look as radiant in… Continue reading CHANEL VITALUMIÈRE AQUA Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup Instant Natural Radiance SPF 15
