StrangeBeautiful Collection 4: First Look
Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
These gorgeously edgy nail polishes from cult brand, Strangebeautiful, owe their outer casing lucite cube design to 19th century writing implements, while the colours are drawn from a host of sources including a poem by Yeats and the colour graduation of fur on a caribou. Anything quirky, different and inspired in [...]
Mainly, They’re Very, Very Good, But When They’re Bad, They’re Horrid
Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
Here’s an almost exact replication of an email conversation I had with a PR recently that has still left a sting while I was trying in less then 16 hours (including a night) to put together a double page spread for a paper.
Me: Hi, I urgently need to get images and [...]
Alice, We’re Done.
Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
Unless a product actually has a picture of Alice, is officially Alice related or really does have some real connection to Wonderland, I can’t bear to see any more pretend Alice stuff. Just because your range has a green eyeshadow, heart shaped curlers or Cheshire cat-a-like slippers doesn’t make me believe [...]
Meaningful Beauty Glowing Serum
Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
I was sent some samples of the Cindy Crawford/Dr Jean-Louis Sebagh range. Dr S has been Cindy’s dermatologist for years, and in fact, the Meaningful Beauty range has been on sale in the US for a decade. So, high time we got a chance to try it here. Looking at the [...]

Otherwise known as very, very posh lip balm. I’ve got a little pot of this lush stuff that launches in April - impressively Chanel-y, its a gorgeous square pot in white with a black lid and looks extremely slick. The formulation is silky and gives a good glossy effect. Hydramax is [...]
Oh, The News! Edward Bess Is Coming To The UK!
Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
For as long as I’ve had this blog, I’ve been banging on about the fabulosity of Edward Bess cosmetics. I have tried twice to find him in person when visiting New York at Bergdorf Goodman, his only store concession, but each time just missed him. And before you (or he) thinks [...]
Why Guys May Like You Better If You Don’t Wear
Submitted by Beauty Brains Blog
In a study that’s sure to be controversial, the journal Psychological Science reports (via Science Daily) that women may be wasting billions of dollars every year on perfume because the natural odor may be more attractive to men.
Periodic perfumery
The study was designed to test the hypothesis that male testosterone levels can [...]
Reserveage Organics :: Straight From The Grapevine.
Submitted by Organic Beauty View Blog
The fact that people in France enjoy a high-fat diet, yet suffer less heart disease than Americans is said to have it’s roots in wine consumption. Me personally? I’ve always been a major fan of a great glass of red, having rid myself of any guilt associated with drinking a [...]
Urban Decay Sin Primer Potion: Genius
Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
Unbelievably, I’ve never actually used UD Primer Potion before, but my recent passion for dark eye shadows has made investigate primers that keep that navy shimmer from disappearing thoughout the day or creasing into ugly lines. I tried Estee Lauder Double Wear primer and it works for an evening, but not [...]
