Easy Peasy Lemon Squeasy - Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colour

Hey there beauty babes and welcome back to another exciting post.

Well... exciting for some.

Today I'm talking about the Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colour and the colour in question is Rose Gold.


The reason that I've dedicated a whole blog post to this one colour is because it is just so damn beautiful. You can bet that whenever I wear this little tube of wonder on my eyes, everyone notices and everyone compliments it.

For The Love of All Things Eyes - L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Mono Eyeshadow

The second that I laid eyes on this... I knew i had to have it and boy, do I love it.

Lets talk about eye shadows. From pinks to browns, pigments to creams - they come in all shapes in sizes, but the L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Mono Eyeshadow in Over The Taupe is something spectacular.

The thing that drew me to this, like a bird to metal, was the colour. My eyes are pretty blue so I am all over those taupey browns. What surprised me was that the colour doesn't come out as dark as it does on the lid, but with the added 'shimmer', it adds an amazing, gorgeous sparkly glow to the eyes.

Grander Than Grand - Lancome Grandiose Mascara

Stop what your'e doing and pay attention.

I've found a new love and it's a mascara. I have to control myself as I'm typing this as it may be the best *gasp* and coolest thing I have ever tried.




The first thing to mention is the wand. No it's not broken, its wonderful! I didn't think the 'bend' in the want would work - straight mascara's have always worked, but this baby lets you get your lashes from all angles - giving you longer and more coated lashes. It's so easy to use and because of the bend, you can also get your corner lashes to the same thickness and length as the inner lashes - SUCCESS!

They’re real! I promise!

Okay, okay, okay, yes it’s taken me a few years to jump onto the Benefit They’re Real bandwagon, but I’ve been preoccupied, alright?

Slacking aside, I got a mini They’re Real mascara in my advent calendar this month and I have a few things to say about it.


Walking past this in the shops, I was always wowed by the advertising. You know the one – the image of the girl with nothing to everything. Does this mascara really do what the photo claims? I don’t think so (don’t hate me). Yes, the brush elongates the lashes and the little spikey bit at the end is great for the outer lashes, but I’m just not seeing any magical transformations.

Creme Eye Liner Made Easy

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. That's what this blog post is. 

Laura Mercier's Creme Eyeliner in Graphite has made life easy. As a make-up lover, I have a confession. I am RUBBISH and I mean rubbish at eye liner. Kohl, I can do, but gel/liquid, is a big fat no. 

So this is where the Creme Eyeliner comes into play. First of all it is dreamy and creamy and all things good. It is a great consistency - not too wet, and not too dry, which makes it easy for that swipe on across the lid.
