Yoo Hoo! I’m over here!

I’m guest blogging over on Zuneta again today!

I try out the no makeup makeup look with a little help from a certain Mr. Bess…

Head on over there and don’t forget to leave a comment!

Just… No.

Holy hairballs Batman.

This is the new Jessica Simpson Bob Wig from the HairDo range created by Ken Paves.

Nothing shouts “I’m wearing a big wiggy wig!” like a wig with this amount of hair in it. Who has hair that is WIDER than their face? Seriously… I reckon I could sleep under that.

It would probably look great thinned out… but you’d need a dumper truck to carry away what’s left on the salon floor.

By the way, this is an excellent opportunity to plug the charity My New Hair, founded and inspired by Trevor Sorbie MBE.

My New Hair offer a specialist wig styling service for people suffering from cancer or medical hair loss. I had the opportunity to see one of their clever stylists in action a couple of years ago at Guy Kremer’s salon in Winchester and there ain’t nothing those wig wizards can’t do to make a NHS wig sparkle!

Fancy a bit of a treasure hunt?

In celebration of the launch of Eye Prep FX, Cover FX will be hosting an International treasure hunt which will give you the chance to nab an Eye Prep FX before it hits stores in mid September!

How it works...

From September 7th – 11th, Cover FX will be placing treasure boxes throughout selected cities across US, Canada and the UK. Fan Cover FX on Facebook to learn specific clues and locations on where you can find the hidden treasures in a city near you. All packages include the new Eye Prep FX, and some lucky winners may receive gift cards up to £100 in select treasure boxes redeemable at participating Cover FX retailers*! http://www.facebook.com/CoverFX

As a geocaching nut, I freaking love a good treasure hunt… alas, I come back from London on the 7th so don’t think I’ll be able to join in

Londoners, will you be taking part?

Benefit… I mean… The Balm does Creaseless Creams…

Now, I’m not usually into brand bashing but how about an original idea TheBalm?

A). Batter Up is a stupid name.

B). Adding the words Creaseless Cream to the title? Oh HAI Benefit…

C). I get that you’re a quirky brand from San Francisco too already…

D). You could have redeemed yourselves by leapfrogging Benefit and going all out on the colour shades…

did you? DID YOU?

No.

No, you didn’t.

Lame.

Having um said that, I think I’ll still probably try one at some point…. yano, just to satisfy my cream eyeshadow addiction. Yeah, I’m lame too.

Though… perhaps not if the retail price of £18 (they’re $18 in the US) is to be believed… £18?! For a TheBalm *insert stupid name* Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow that may or may not be as good as a £14 Benefit Creaseless Cream? On yer bike.
