We all know that we should throw out our cosmetics within a certain time period, but how many women actually follow this advice? I for one am guilty of owning cosmetics that are over 10 years old (Miss Selfridge cream shadows, and no, I don't still use them) but using out of date products can lead to allergic reactions, conjunctivitis and skin rashes.
Debenhams has recently done some research into the health of women's makeup bag and come up with some worrying results- most makeup bags are out of date by 4 years!

I had a pretty stressful set of events this evening and then all changed when I remembered sitting on the side was a pot of Cleopatra's Milk Bath by The Organic Pharmacy...hmmm I thought ...I need to relax for some me time and just the sight of the box pulled me towards my bathroom. I ran a hot bath opened the pot to smell the pure aroma of rose geranium, rose and ylang ylang. I placed two good sized scoops (which is also supplied so no mess) into the water and of course had to add one of the delightful rose petals.
I really needed something to take all my stresses away and this did the job. It is made with 100% organically produced ingredients free from preservatives, colourants, fragrances and petrochemicals. My skin is very sensitive so I have to always be able to trust a product and I must say that this product ticks all my boxes leaving skin smelling and feeling glorious. This little gem has made me feel totally uplifted I think as Mother's Day is just around the corner I will have to grab a couple of pots! love Lisax

Not so long ago I wrote about the twenty most entertaining fonts I could find on my own blog and it just occurred to me that the makeup one would be relevant for my lovely Kiss and Makeup readers. I think it's absolutely stunning and the detailing is so intricate- everything from the miniature makeup brushes to the beautiful colours used in the pots of eyeshadow.

I'm not sure if you have Cheetos in the U.K., but they're crunchy cheese puffs covered in an unholy orange powder that sticks in your teeth and gets all over your hands and clothes. I'm not saying they're not delicious, but they're nothing that you'd think of in terms of any sort of oral health or beauty aid!
And yet! Apparently there is a market for Cheetos Lip Balm! It took me a little while to come around to different flavors of Lip Smackers like Dr. Pepper, which have obviously become cult favorites, so maybe I'm missing something here? If you think I am, you can get this new lip balm at Claire's boutiques. Just, please, please don't wear it on a date!

The new Sex and the City film has female hearts a flutter, and now you can recreate the scent of excitement as well. The lovely Sarah Jessica Parker has just added another fragrance to her ever growing library, and this one is called SJP NYC. It has taken influence from the bustling metropolis of New York, and is packaged in a very bright bottle. I love the colourful accents of zebra print and butterfly, as the design is very striking.

I've just discovered the Lisa Stickley site and am bowled over by her wide range of eclectic prints and funky designs. I really like her makeup bags, as they look roomy enough to store your daily beauty essentials, and they're printed with incredibly sweet designs. In fact I like them all so much I can't pick a favourite so have posted a selection for you to drool over.
