MY MAC LIPSTICK COLLECTION

~ Amy | bobo & mimi ~ 4 Comments

Anyone who is a little bit makeup obsessed will have owned one or two MAC lipsticks in their makeup wearing lifetimes. I’m no exception. But I did come to MAC lipsticks kind of late in the day and, until Christmas 2013, didn’t own any, hadn’t tried any and wasn’t really that bothered – I’d had a pretty serious addiction to MAC’s Clear LipGlass when I was at uni but had never dived into the extensive, somewhat daunting selection of lipsticks they had on offer.

Then I received one as a Christmas gift and my obsession began. Some of you may own a couple of these beauties and be content, but I’ll hold my hands up and admit that I’m starting to become a bit of a hoarder when it comes to these. It may be time to send me to lipstick rehab because I think I have a problem.


I love reading MAC lipstick collection posts, it helps me get an idea of which shades I’d like to try next (plus I’m just super nosey!) so I decided it was time I shared my collection with swatches below. Here goes…  Continue reading “MY MAC LIPSTICK COLLECTION” →

*SCREAM*

How have I only just found about this?? I’m ridiculously excited to hear that Kat Von D Beauty is going to be available in the UK later this month, meaning us Brits can finally get our hands on a line that has been exclusive to Sephora for so long now. The Gods of Make-Up have been kind to us. No more stockpiling on trips to the US or paying extortionate shipping fees.

Clearly this news means I need to put together a little shopping list of the Kat Von D products I’m wanting to try out…  Continue reading “KAT VON D BEAUTY IS COMING TO THE UK” →

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing GelThe Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel is probably one of the most talked about skincare products in the blogging world. I’m pretty sure every blogger out there has tried it at this point. I gave into the hype about a year ago and am on my second bottle so it’s high time I add my own two cents about this cleanser.

FRIDAY FIVE | ACID TONERS

~ Amy | bobo & mimi ~ Leave a comment

My skin has been dreadful lately. Like, so-dreadful-I-want-to-hide-my-face-from-the-world dreadful. A combination of being ill, being a bit stressed out, some hormonal spots and more than a few lazy nights where I haven’t properly taken off my make-up have played havoc with my skin. It’s so frustrating because a few months ago I was starting to feel a lot better about how my skin looked. Grrrrrrr.

Taking back control of my skin is currently underway and I’ve been reaching for my trusty Alpha H Liquid Gold over and over again. Acid toners are something I know I can always rely on to improve my skin and show quick results.

Here are my five favourites…

Favourite Acid Toners: Pixi Glow Tonic, Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner, Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion, Nip + Fav Glycolic Fix Night Pads, Alpha H Liquid Gold

 

  1. Pixi Glow Tonic, £18 › available here
  2. Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner, £15.50 › available here
  3. Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion, £ 16.50 › available here
  4. Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads, £14.95 › available here
  5. Alpha H Liquid Gold*, £40 › available here

*strictly speaking this isn’t classed as a toner, more as an overnight serum, but it looks and feels like a toner and I use it as one when my skin is at it’s worst, because I’m a little rebel
