Mecca Cosmetica rarely get it wrong with their lacquer collections but Siren Song is a risk for them. Two reds in a two lacquer collection? BIG RISK.

Mecca Cosmetica have a couple of new lacquer collections for Christmas. I decided to pick up Precious Metals because, well, I’m obsessed with Orly Foil FX and I’m always on the lookout for dupes. There are two colours in this collection: Precious and Metals (imaginative...

When I received Katharina, as part of the Melbourne Beauty Blogger Event, I was fully ‘meh’. A pink? Been there. Done that. Got the bored stares of onlookers to show for it. I fully got my ungrateful wretch on. Sometimes, though, a lacquer will surprise you. And this...

When I first saw the Roman Holiday Collection on the Mecca website, I think I let out an audible sigh. What a disappointing collection. Only two lacquers: one a red and the other a pale, sheer looking pink. I steadfastly refused to buy this. For a whole two seconds because I have...

Diffused Light I gave you guys a break from my American Apparel fetish but it’s back! This time, it’s Peacock which is a fabulous teal. Two coats and it’s opaque and super shiny (this is sans topcoat). So shiny, in fact, that you can actually see me in...

Mecca Cosmetica’s Lychorinda is all Nea‘s fault. Blame her for this amazing lacquer. Nea won my January giveaway and, when selecting some great Aussie lacquers as part of her prize, she chose Lychorinda. As soon as I saw it in the shop, I fell in love with...
Happy Australia Day!
Australia is a pretty good place to live. We have great weather, Vegemite, Tim Tams, Hugh Jackman and, of course, the Gum Leaf Mafia. But possibly the best thing to ever come out of Australia is Haigh’s Chocolates. My work building is right across the road from Haigh’s....
