Now this little potion has been around for a while, and I've tried it before but never written a review because it wasn't really the best product for me. Now don't get me wrong, it did all the things it promised but I found that the formula emphasised the crepiness of my lids as… Continue reading Urban Decay Eyshadow Primer Potion

Prai Radiant Gemstone Caviar Triple Matrixyl Serum
I've almost lost count of the new brands that I've tried over the last two years that I've been blogging. Prai is a name that I'd heard before but that was about all I knew until I picked up this little beauty from a recent QVC event. It's the Prai Radiant Gemstone Caviar Triple Matrixyl… Continue reading Prai Radiant Gemstone Caviar Triple Matrixyl Serum
Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm
When beauty balms or BB creams were first available I tried one or two but mainly they were very similar to tinted moisturisers in the way that they looked and apart from a few days in the summer I felt I needed more coverage.

It's almost two years since I started writing about beauty here on Strand On Beauty. I didn't plan to set the world on fire and, before anyone else says it, it's true to say that I haven't but that doesn't mean to say that I haven't made any impact at all. When I started out… Continue reading UK Blog Awards – It’s Time For The Public Vote
Review – Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics Palette
Recently I admitted that the Gwen Stefani palette was the first I'd ever tried from Urban Decay.

This one is much more of an essentials palette… Continue reading Review – Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics Palette

Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Palette
From the moment I started blogging the most talked about palettes were from Urban Decay. Still, surprisingly, it's been a brand that I've had little to do with until now and it's hit me with a bang! I can be a contrary type when the mood takes me and so when everyone says that something's… Continue reading Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Palette
