Sometimes the name doesn’t quite match the polish. Kit Cosmetics Up Beat is a muted grey-blue cream without any shimmers or sparkles. It’s a summer stormcloud murky grey, or the ocean on a choppy overcast day. Not quite upbeat and chipper, but perfect as we’re sliding into the tail end of autumn (and in my case, ...
if you’ve been following my twitter account, you’d know that I’ve done a bit of mischief to my arms and wrists to the point where they’re both wrapped, taped and on splints. You’ll have to excuse me if I post little more than pictures for the next few weeks as I’m not supposed to be ...
