Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes

I am the first to admit that a few years back, I pretty much used Clinique exclusively. Their 3-Step skin care kit completely transformed my skin and I think they are the brand that really pushed me into wanting to know more about cosmetics and skin care. While they have been seen as the posh, slightly snobby, older lady type of brand, they have worked hard to tap into the younger generations too. They are pretty forthcoming with their free samples and do a lot of great gift-with-purchase options too and have even been known to do a mascara swap occasionally. These days, I don’t worship at the temple of Clinique with such fervour, but I am a big fan of a certain handful of their products, the Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes being one.

Random Beauty Tag

Greetings lovely readers/viewers!

Today's post is.....the Random Beauty Tag. I was tagged by the lovely Mel from Melissa Bubbles to do this tag which has been floating around for quite some time. It's more of a chatty video so sit back, relax and enjoy the chatter! You can find the video on my YouTube channel.

LonVitalité C8 Collagen Crystal Eye Mask

Am I the only one who was baffled to hear that there are masks SPECIFICALLY for your eyes? I mean, I was all over face masks, but it never dawned on me that you could just target your eyes! So I was a bit bamboozled (but intrigued) when this eye mask from LonVitalité showed up in a subscription box many moons ago. I was very keen to try them out because a) I had never even heard of, let alone seen an eye mask before and b) I’ve got me some mega dark circles under my eyes!

Benefit Big Easy Multi-Balancing Complexion Perfector

My love for Benefit has been growing slowly but surely over the past few months. I’ve tried a lot of their eye products and colour products but I hadn’t yet tried any of their foundations or bases. I figured that I had more than enough foundations BUT I was in the market for a new BB cream. One of the lovely ladies at the Benefit counter gave me a sample of Big Easy to try and I was impressed enough to go back and buy the full size version. Now I’m not sure what happened between the sample and the full size but sadly, Big Easy does not live up to its name.

The 90's Tag

I'm very excited about today's post/video!

My super attractive self and siblings in about 1996

I saw this tag on Kate from The Minted Beauty's blog and not only is Kate amazing (you guys should TOTES check out her blog), but her 90's Tag video also had me laughing out loud and brought back so many good memories. I decided that it was an excellent opportunity to film my own version of the tag so please head over to my YouTube channel and check it out. 

Boe Beauty Jumbo Wind Up Lips

This is my second review of the Boe Beauty brand, you can read my first review on their Liquid Liner and Volumising Mascara here. Today, I’m going to show you the Jumbo Wind Up Lips (what a mouthful! I’m just going to call them Jumbo Lips) set that I bought on sale a little while ago. I lurve these babies, they were worth every cent and I think they are comparable to Clinique Chubby Sticks.

Ace Yo' Base - Round 2

I realised that it’s been an absolute AGE since the last instalment of Ace Yo’ Base. I’ve been using some pretty amazing base products recently and they definitely deserve a little shout out. I found that my summer time foundations weren’t quite up to dealing with my freaky winter skin so I went on a mission to round up and try out a few newbies, as well as some old favourites in this edition of Ace Yo’ Base.

The Nail Files - Moustache Mani

I had been wanting to do a moustache mani for ages (they look so cute!) but I never managed to get around to it. I popped into Sportsgirl one day and picked up a pack of their Stick It Nail Stickers which just happened to include some adorable little black and silver moustaches. I decided to use a pretty pastel polish for this look to contrast with the stickers. I really liked this look and I was actually a bit sad when I had to take it off

Rimmel + Rita Ora Collection

Rimmel would have to be one of my absolute favourite drugstore brands and I’ve been SUPER excited ever since I heard about their collaboration with Rita Ora. The collection includes six of Rimmel’s fabulous 60 Seconds Polishes and six Lasting Finish Colour Rush Balms, all named by Rita herself. There are a really good mix of shades in both the nail polishes and the lip colours and I couldn’t wait to get my hot little hands on the collection!

July Subscription Boxes - HFB & BellaBox

Hello lovelies!

Welcome back to KaBOOM! Cosmetics. I know it's been a while since I've posted a video but sadly, my work takes me away from civilisation for part of the year. I'm back home for a break and both my Her Fashion Box and BellaBox subscriptions were waiting when I got home so I filmed an unboxing video. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to subscribe!

NYX I Dream of Nevis Palette

NYX is fast becoming one of my favourite makeup brands. They are really affordable and their range is just amazing, they have every colour and product a girl could dream of! Speaking of dreaming, I am doing a review of NYX’s I Dream of Nevis Palette from the Caribbean Collection. I have been lucky enough to travel to the Caribbean (twice!) and absolutely loved it so when I saw this palette, I couldn’t resist a little trip down memory lane.

Perfect Pout Products

Ladies, it’s time to talk about lips. Whether you love to wear a bright lip or prefer to keep it natural, lip care should be a high priority. If you’ve ever suffered from a cold sore or even just endured chapped lips, you will know how much better life is when you look after your lips. So I have put together a few products that will help care for your lips in the long term and leave them looking completely kissable!
