Disclaimer: PR Sample - I have not been paid for this feature. If you're a regular reader then you'll know that I'm a die-hard retinol convert; I think it's one of the most skin-transforming ingredients out there and I use it religiously. However, when you use a good quality retinol, it's quite hard to slot a good chemical exfoliation in anywhere (mainly because retinol does such a good job at keeping skin renewed) and I've made no effort to ke[...]
Disclaimer: PR Sample and Affiliate links - I have not been paid for this feature. Sanctuary Spa are one of those brands that I don't think gets nearly enough credit for their skincare range; in their fairly budget-friendly collection you'll find some impressive innovations alongside everyday essentials - I always remember how excited I was when they launched their Facial in a Box, although I can't seem to find them anywhere so maybe they've discon[...]
Disclaimer: PR Sample and Affiliate links - I have not been paid for this feature. I absolutely had to start both the week and the month with a post on these gorgeous new skincare launches from It's Skin, as they are so bright, beautiful, fun and full of joy! The It's Skin Power 10 Formula Facial Mists consists of four mists, two of which are water based and the other two are milky. The only one I don't have here is the Vb Sebum Mist, which provi[...]
Disclaimer: PR Sample and Affiliate links - I have not been paid for this feature. The majority of my skincare routine at the moment is pretty regimented and doesn't allow much room for change, but the one thing I can definitely mix up is my cleansing routine, so with that in mind, a lot of my skincare requests recently have focused on cleansers and masks. I have quite a few new cleansers on the go, and I thought it would be a little more interes[...]
When was the last time I reviewed a facial treatment? I can't believe how long it's been, but honestly, I think it's because my skin is behaving so well recently (please don't let this be "famous last words...") that I haven't really felt the need to try any new treatments. Having said that, there are definitely a chosen few that I've read about and really fancied, one of which is the AquaGold Facial which I was kindly invited to try at the Adon[...]
Disclaimer: Product paid for by me, Affiliate links - I have not been paid for this feature. I briefly shared my thoughts on the No7 Laboratories Cica-Rescue Skin Paste in my feature on Cica skincare here, but I wanted to give this a full review as it really is a fantastic product that deserves it's own post. The No7 Laboratories Cica-Rescue Skin Paste is a really interesting product that's unusual to find on the high street and certainly isn't[...]
It's been a while since I posted a new Mask Monday, as I've mostly been working my way through some existing favourites, such as the I'm From Mugwort Mask or the Image Skincare Vital C Hydrating Enzyme Mask, but when I returned from my holiday I found I needed something gentle yet highly moisturising, so I decided to give the L'Occitane Aqua Reotier Mineral Moisture Mask a go, which is a mineral-rich hydrating mask suitable for all skin types, tha[...]
*PR Sample/Aff. Links* If this is anything other than your first time visiting my blog, you'll probably know that I'm a bit of a mask fan and I always believe that one of the best mask treatments you can add to your routine is an acid mask, as they do so much in so little time, that even the beauty-weary would be able to find a couple of minutes to indulge. I have my firm favourites when it comes to acid masks as I like one that'll do all the[...]
Cica is an ingredient that's suddenly become very relevant in my skincare routine over the past year ago, as it's one of those ingredients that really does what it promises to do. Centella Asiatica, or Cica for short, is a medical herb that's regularly featured in Asian skincare, particularly many of the most reputable K-Beauty brands, and it's an ingredient that's slowly starting to find it's way into more of our high street ranges too, with No[...]
There have been some incredible Elemis QVC UK TSVs over the last couple of years, but I think this one, the Elemis Reveal Radiant Skin Collection, is my favourite so far. Six brilliant and iconic Elemis products, all of which are full-sized apart from one - Elemis TSVs always go quickly, but I think this will be one of those that flies out of stock, so ready yourself! I really am so excited about these products as I think they're a great[...]
Occasionally something will show up online that I know is going to cause a lot of excitement, which is exactly what I thought would be the case with the Beauty Pie Uplifting Microcurrent Face Roller when it first popped-up on their Instagram feed. Consequently I kept my eye on the Beauty Pie site to see when it would become available, then last week, Caroline Hirons posted about its imminent arrival and I started refreshing the "accessories" pag[...]
