Positive Beauty: What Size are you Really?

Do you remember on Gok Wan's "How To Look Good Naked", he would always ask the women where they would place themselves in a line up of other women of varying body shapes? I always found that interesting, because every single time, the woman would place herself higher than she really was, and I used to think "Nah, I'd just be the big fat blob on the end".It's seems almost human nature to have a negative attitude to our body, but Gok always made me...

Yves Saint Laurent The Black Eyeliner

A couple of weeks ago, I was approached and asked if I would like to try out a beauty product courtesy of the Debenhams website. I don't accept many offers for products these days, however, how could I possibly refuse this one? And ultimately, this is what I chose:Why did I pick Yves Saint Laurent's The Black Eyeliner?Choosing was an incredibly tough decision, but I decided quite quickly that I wanted a liquid eyeliner, and it pretty much stemmed...
