China Glaze Update Day 5
Argh noooo it’s starting to chip! Sad times. I have to reiterate that this was just one layer (medium on the thumb and light on the finger) but there’s a huge chip on my thumb and the big strands of glitter on my finger have come off. So there you have it. 5 days before…

Are your customers confused?
I go to a lot of soft play centres. A soft play centre is a place where children can play indoors. My son has a lot of energy so we go out a lot. Recently we went to a soft play I’d been looking forward to trying ever since we were buying our home 18…

China Glaze update day 4

Ho Chi Minh was buzzing, because even though they have a slightly different calendar, they have a massive tourist industry. We were staying in the Japanese quarter, at a lovely apart-hotel.

L’Oreal True Match vs L’Oreal Infallible 24 Hr
In this review I’m going to compare L’Oreal True Match foundation and L’Oreal Infallible 24hr foundation. If you’re reading this, I imagine you’re doing what I did two days ago; standing in front of the L’Oreal counter trying to decide between two different products.
