Halloween Steamcream from Feel Unique and Steamcream Review #Halloween Beauty No 3

Another addition to my Halloween fetish is this lovely looking Halloween Trick or Treat Steamcream pot from Feel Unique. Steamcream always bring out uber cute limited edition tins, and this black and orange version is very seasonal (obviously).

I’m a fan of Streamcream as well- as they’re all the same, no matter the tin, so you get a two in one post here; a pot to ogle and a review to read.

Steamcream if basically a light non greasy moisturiser that has been created by a steam infused practise, which allows the ingredients to bind together in a way that they say *helps it breakdown and penetrate areas of the skin that other creams find hard to reach*.

Katy Perry pretty in pink hair: Get the look with Annabelle’s Wigs

I love how Katy Perry is always experimenting with her look and these pretty candyfloss tresses she has been stepping out in are rather pink-licious. Well, it’s good support for breast cancer awareness month, right?

If you’re not brave enough to go for a full on dye job, do a Nicki Minaj and try a wig. I love this wig created by Annabelle’s Wigs as it’s a cute length, the cut is flattering and the colour is spot on Katy Perry. They call it ‘dip dye ombre’, which I can’t see in this image, but up close I guess it will be more multi textured. Pretty in pink- eat your heart out Molly Ringwald (child of the 80′s OK?).

Miss Piggy joins MAC Cosmetics; Muppet Makeup madness!

Miss Piggy is famous in many ways- those big blue eyes, that curly hair- the Kermit that lives on her arm.. and now she’s getting a limited edition makeup range. She has teamed up with MAC Cosmetics and we’ll soon be seeing a cool collaboration.

Word on the street is that the USA roll out date is Nov 14th  (thanks BellaSugar) and it will feature eye shadows in Miss Piggy Pink, black eyeliner, and faux lashes.

Miss Piggy has now officially been around for 37 years (but doesn’t look a day over 15) and has a starring role in a new Muppets movie out Feb 2012. I think this looks pretty cool, love kitsch collabs, and Miss Piggy is such a fun one to use. The question now is- what will it look like exactly? I’m hoping over the top blacks and pinks with a saucy piggy grin…

Trick or Treat Jessica Nails Halloween Collection #Halloween Beauty No 2

Continuing in my Halloween love affair with everything pumpkin-y (mm, yum) and seasonal, I bring you the cute looking Trick or Treat Collection from Jessica Nails.

It’s hard to pick a favourite as they all look so delicious, but I think Witches Brew would have the mist longevity post All hallows Eve, so that gives it extra points. I do adore the names though- seriously, what a great jib just coming up with puns all day- anyone looking to hire me? The creepy pumpkin bottle design adds to the level of cuteness and has me planning a matching outfit already. I’ll keep you guessing though- don’t want to spoil the surprise!

Nails Inc Gossip Girl Collection- are you Serena, Blair or Lily?

I love Gossip Girl and am so excited that the new season is back on TV (UK viewers may have to donwload this). Serena is all LA chic, Blair is pregnant (spoiler alert) and marrying a Prince and Chuck is well, Chuck just is OK?

The new Nails Inc Gossip Girl Collection features three sets of duos, Serena, Blair and Lily. Yes, Lily. I miss Jenny and Vanessa too, but hey, what can we do?

The Serena set features a Patent black Serena nail polish with an It Girl electric blue overglaze top coat, and the Blair set has a Teal black Blair nail polish with a Privileged blue / green overglaze top coat. I’m sure you’ve guessed Lily is more of a neutral affair, but surprise- her set is a Plum black Lily nail polish teamed with High Society red / green overglaze top coat. Surprised? Maybe she’ll be minxy again this season- and there are still rumours of a pre Gossip Girl Lily spin off show, so who know?

17 Magentized Polish from Boots 17 Review

You may have heard the news on the grapevine saying that magentized polishes are going to be big news. All brands are trying to get  into this craze, but 17 from Boots is probably the most affordable at the moment- and very nice to boot.

Essentially, you pick from four shades-Teal, Blue, Lilac and GunMetal (Teal pictured above), shake well and apply to the nails. The polish has iron filings in it which separate when shaken and then you use the magnet in the lid to create a cool cats eye effect as you pass it over the nail.

There are a few rules- do one NAIL at a time, eg, paint one, wave the magnet, paint two and repeat. This is because it dries VERY quickly and if you wait (guilty) you’ll stop getting an effect. I like that there’s a small ridge on the magnet to hold it over the nail without messing it uo, though if you’re like me you may get a *little* product on the lid.

Overall- I’m a fan, it’s easy, cool to do and if it’s a fad- well, so what?

Creepy baby doll hand soap #Halloween Beauty No 1

I love Halloween- the outfits, the crazy makeup, the outfits… In honour of this occasion, I want to share some cool and creepy Halloween themed beauty products and I’m starting with the CREEPY BABY DOLL ARM SOAP SET.

It looks like you’re lathering up with Barbie’s distended arms- and you have to decide how this makes you feel- would Ken be better? 2 arms per set (thank the lord) and they’re baby powder scented (OMG, extra creepy).

Happy Halloween!

Kleenex Facial Cleansing Range Review

Kleenx is a brand I associate with cold and flu, and those lovely menthol tissues that make your nose feel comforted when you’re blue. They’ve now made some headway into the skincare market and it’s not a weird a collaboration as you’d think. Steering away from anti ageing or active ingredients, the four piece range is all about comfort and care, amkign sure you feel cosseted with your cleaning regime. Not all proucts are created equal though, so I’ll take you through my thoughts on eah individual product.

Facial Cleansing Wipes
I’m a big fan of cleansing wipes, being sometimes very lazy late at night, and they’re the best friends of the college (read:drunk) girl, who can at least get some makeup off every evening. They feel soft to use and get rid of most of your makeup, though people with stubborn long lasting products might need to use two of them. I like how soft and gentle they felt- great for sensitive skins.

Eye Makeup Removal Wipes

Again, Kleenex are great with the soft and fenly aspects, but though these are meant to work on all types of eye makeup, they couldn’t handle my waterproof mascara. A good quick fix if you’re out and about, but something stronger is needed if you layer on the eyeliner like I do.

Bobbi Brown 20th anniversary lip palette

Bobbi Brown generally makes great makeup that flatters all skintones and I adore this limited edition palette. Comprising of 20 shades, it include the ten lip colours launched in 1991 and ten new varieties for 2011. They can be used alone or mixed together for a unique look and I love the packaging- pretty much every shade looks wearable to me.

Which is your favourite?
