You all mean so much to me, and I'd be lying if I didn't say that I wouldn't still be here without all of you and your support. You've all been incredible.For the past few years, I've not really bothered with...

The Positive Beauty Pledge's Christmas Message

For me, a large portion of this year, on Kat's Beauty Reviews has been dedicated to my Positive Beauty Pledge. The support behind it has been fantastic, and I'm looking for a new collective of ladies (and gents) to take part throughout 2012, so please do get in touch if you are interested.Christmas is a time when a lot of us feel quite positive, with the thought of presents, turkey, TV movies and spending time with the people that are important to...

Salon Services Non Acetone Nail Varnish Remover

The title of this product might not sound very inspiring, and to be fair, the product (on the surface) probably doesn't come across very inspiring either.So, my Mum and I have recently discovered Sallys and the fact that they sell OPI and China Glaze, which is enough to make me skint for the rest of my life. Well, I say "discovered", I've known of their existence for a really long time, but I've never actually been in one before. Expect a couple...

Hunger Games Nail Polish: It's Official!!

Just under a month ago, I wrote a post about the hoo-har revolving around a Hunger Games-inspired nail polish, that Lionsgate had threatened to pull the plug on. Just to remind you, they were alleged to look like this:At the time, it was alleged that Lionsgate were suing the company behind China Glaze. However, thanks to the wonders of Facebook, I recently discovered that either Lionsgate have done a u-turn, or the lawsuit was a load of rubbish (I...

Thoughtful Thursday: Christmas Special

This weeks thought is from an author, who despite the fact that I've never read a single one of his books (don't judge), I have a huge amount of respect for. That might sound a little bit weird, but even though I'm not a fan of his work, I am still able to see that he was the voice of his era, and he contributed more to the world than just a bunch of words on a few pages of a book. No, this man defined Christmas as most of us know it. That man is...

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Review

For a long time, I've been a devout user of Urban Decay's Primer Potion to keep my eye shadow in place, as well as intensifying the colour. If anyone was to ask me to recommend a primer for eye shadow, this is always the one that I would recommend.However, the original bottles, whilst being quite stylish, were a bit of a pain in the bum. And anyone who owns the UD Primer Potion has probably seen all the videos about cutting the bottle open to get...

Ciate Paint Pot: Wait Until Dark Review

Some of you might recognise this polish, or even own it, because it came in Marie Claire magazine back in July/August (I think, I know I was definitely wearing it for the Leeds meet-up on August 13th!!) and I have to confess that some of these pictures are quite old, but for some reason I hadn't taken them off my Camera. However, I recently broke said camera and have been sorting out the photos on my Memory Card since I put it into my new one, hence...

Thoughtful Thursday: 15.12.2011

Hi Ladies,I know I've been really MIA recently. I've been really busy with a new client, for which the work involves very little writing work, and I'm amazing myself about how much I'm enjoying stepping away from doing writing work all of the time. Don't get me wrong, I still love writing, in fact, I can't even begin to tell you how much I've missed blogging over the past couple of weeks, but I'm really loving this new kind of work. I think it's...

Thoughtful Thursday: 08.12.2011

Hey guys, as I'm on a different PC today, this week's Thoughtful Thursday is going to be a little bit different. Basically, Alice in Wonderland is one of my favourite all-time books.I'm not a huge lover of poetry, but I find Lewis Carroll's use of poetry in Alice in Wonderland just beautifully written. So, I wanted to share a few of my favourite excerpts with you. Enjoy:How doth the little crocodileImprove his shining tale,And pour the waters of...

50% Off at Body Shop for 24 hours

Did you know? Although why would you since I've probably never told you ;) But, the first ever lipstick I ever owned was from the Body Shop. Yup, random fact for you there. It was actually as the result of one of those Body Shop Parties, that were all the rage in the mid to late 1990s...do they still do Body Shop Parties? I know you get Ann Summers ones, but heh, that's beside the point. I had a make over when I was about thirteen, it looked...

Should you Store Nail Polish in the Fridge?

This is a question that I've been thinking about a lot recently, and it was something that I was told a really long time ago, by someone who I can't even remember. It could have been a friend, it could have been in a magazine, I honestly haven't got a clue.As a result, I've sworn by keeping my polishes in the Fridge, in a vain attempt to encourage them to last a bit longer. But, what I really want to know is? Am I absolutely crazy, and wasting my...

Glade Candles Review

What's this? A candles review? Why yes, it is indeed. I know that it's not really very beauty-related, but I think that scented candles are great for relaxing and they are most definitely aimed at us ladies, so I thought that it felt appropriate.Not gonna lie, I'm not really a candle type of gal. I've had a few in the past, but mainly only for decoration.Why I'm not really a fan of scented candles: I don't know if I'm weird, or even if I've mentioned...

The Bane of Excess Packaging

Excess packaging. You know the stuff, cardboard boxes containing the smallest bottle or tube of product, or the absolute annoyance of plastic-wrapped stuff that you need a strong pair of scissors (or even better a Chain Saw) to even make a dent on! Oh yes, packaging has become a huge bane on the lives of most of us.Why does Excess Packaging irritate me so much? I actually have a few issues with excess packaging, especially on beauty products:One....
