I was pretty happy with my photos until I realised that, out of context, the random inclusion of a (perfectly cool-toned blonde) Barbie might appear a tad creepy, so for the benefit of clarity, the Barbie was included with the sendout of the new Fudge Clean Blonde Damage Rewind Violet Toning Shampoo and Conditioner, presumably to demonstrate the effectiveness of this duo and how cool-t[...]
The last time I left the safe confines of my home was just before the pandemic took hold; I attended a launch for the new Dr Dennis Gross B3 Adaptive Superfoods Stress Skincare range at Harrods and it was a strange experience, since there were very few people at the world famous shop, and I got to hang out with a few of my favourite bloggers whilst finding out more about this newest la[...]
Apparently the pandemic has pushed everyone in one of two directions: those who are baking more and those who are shaving their heads. When I first heard about this, I smugly stuck myself in the "baking" category, since I've really upped my baking game (my lemon drizzle cake is the talk of the town, if you're happy to consider my parents as town representatives...) but recently, afte[...]
When I was a teenager and living with my mum who was, at the time, a cosmetic practitioner, I used to do my own peels using her range of Jan Marini products. After a peel, I would use a moisturising mask that provided the most amazing feeling to my post-peel skin; it was like a surge of cooling moisture that felt incredible. The Nora Bode Cool Moisture Mask feels exactly like that, whi[...]
I really enjoy the fact that Glossybox have streamlined their themes so you can really feel it throughout every product. The Glossybox April 2020 contents is all about Spring, with the theme being "blossom" and you can definitely tell it's on-theme! There are five products included, with a very good mix of skincare and make-up, all of which are a little bit pink and/or floral.[...]
When I think of Tropic, I think of their amazingly natural skincare, then more recently their fantastic make-up range too. I don't really associate them with bath and body products, even though they have a pretty decent range available, including the Tropic Skincare Tahitian Vanilla and Coconut Luxury Bath Foam which gives baths a little bit of pampering luxury that we could all do w[...]
It's been absolutely ages since I did a Mask Monday post, even though I'm still using masks a lot, particularly any that offer hydration as my skin is still adjusting to a higher retinol percentage and it is very dry and flaky. To me, the mark of a good moisturising mask is one that feels rich on the skin but doesn't absorb too quickly, as otherwise you might as well just apply a thi[...]
In these horrendously scary times, I feel that things like a little bit of at-home pampering can make all the difference - I don't think I've ever taken as many baths as I have since I started my self-isolation! With that in mind, the arrival of the Elemis 5 Piece Pro-Collagen Hydrate & Nurture Collection QVC UK TSV couldn't be better timed. The set is a good mix of skincare and[...]
Ad/Sponsored Content - I have been paid to feature this product. Did you know that 90% of people in Europe carry the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 - the main cause of cold sores - but only 30% of carriers produce blisters? That's a huge percentage of people who would benefit from a reliable cold sore treatment that's safe and easy to use, so I'm excited to show you the HERPOtherm Cold Sor[...]
When it comes to skincare, my soft spot has always been cleansers; a good cleanser can turn a mundane, everyday experience into a few moments of relaxing luxury, so I have a HUGE collection of cleansers that I dip in and out of depending on my mood. Since the arrival of the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser and it's complimentary buddy, the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser, I've almost exclusively u[...]
It's a total joy to feature a Look Incredible beauty box as the contents is always exciting, inviting and right up my street. The February 2020 Look Incredible Deluxe Edition features four products, three of which are make-up, one of which is skincare, all of which are premium, making the whole box seriously good value for money, as usual. Each month, Look Incredible include a[...]
