What is a BB Cream?
BB Cream, Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm, whichever you choose to call it, I feel it should be a must in any busy woman’s make-up bag. Depending on the type of BB Cream you have (they differ from brand to brand), coverage will range from very light to medium. The difference between a BB Cream…
Gel vs Liquid Eyeliner
Continuing on on from last month’s article on pencil eyeliner, I thought I’d continue with the eyeliner theme and do a comparison between gel and liquid eyeliner. Gel eyeliner is a creamy product that comes packaged in a small pot, and once applied, looks just like liquid eyeliner. Liquid eyeliner is liquid, hence the name,…
e.l.f. Small Stipple Brush
I bought my e.l.f. Small Stipple Brush from Kmart, and it has a unique two-layer two-tone black and white bristle design that adds soft, textured layers, which help to create an airbrushed effect when used to apply foundation.

Cameo Essentials Beauty Concealer Brush
The Cameo Essentials Beauty Concealer Brush is not a bad little concealer brush for those on a budget. I bought three of them a few years ago and they’re still going strong but don’t expect any miracles, they are average, budget brand concealer brushes. I use one of my brushes to place the concealer under…

These may not be “make-up” products, but using self-tan can boost your confidence levels in the same way that wearing make-up does! Self-tanning products are a safe and effective way of getting a lovely, golden tan all year round, without the harmful and skin damaging effects of lying in the sun. Over the years, I…
