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 with right now. I didn't know how I'd get on with the scent o[...]
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 thick layer of moisturiser - I want a mask to sit on the skin, pro[...]
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 Sore Treatment, a purse-friendly device that's free from chemicals[...]
I so rarely go to events nowadays, but a few weeks ago, OPI launched their Mexico City collection with a night of Mexico-themed joy that was so up my street, and I'm so glad I went! Not only is the collection a colour-lovers dream, the event itself involved consuming a series of Mexico tapas and drinking tasty Mexican cocktails (virgin for me, since I was driving) and it was definitely my favourite event for a while. As with all OPI collect[...]
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 used them, which I think says a lot about how fantastic they are[...]
I haven't featured a Glossybox box for a while, mostly because I haven't been doing much blogging lately, but I'm annoyed I didn't manage to feature last month's box as it was so good! The February 2020 Glossybox contents is themed around "Love Crosses Borders," which basically means the products are from all over the world instead of focusing on mostly British brands. I love the overall vibe of the box, especially as, whether intentional or not[...]
Disclaimer: AD - this is a sponsored collaboration with Ecooking that I have been paid to feature. According to the website, "Ecooking is for everyone - regardless of skin type, gender or age," and when you have a scroll through their shop, you'll see just how accurate that is. The Ecooking Organic Skincare range is packed full of problem-solving, no-nonsense skincare that's easy to understand and free from any jargon, so you can quickly and effe[...]
Philip Kingsley is easily my favourite haircare brand; it's just such a reliably decent and solid range that provides easy-to-understand product collections that you can mix and match to find your perfect combination...and don't even get me started on the amazing Elasticizer, which every single hair type would benefit hugely from using - it's just one of those amazing products that gives strength to hair in a way no other product (that I'm familia[...]
Disclaimer: PR Sample and Affiliate links - I have not been paid for this feature. I was quickly lifted into an incredibly festive mood when the new Lancome Christmas Collection arrived, as it's just so beautifully Wintery! The collection is very lip-heavy, with a lip palette, three lipsticks and a mascara, all of which have been dressed-up in sparkling silver to mark the festive period. This is an absolutely beautiful collection and I love eve[...]
I really love the packaging for the Glossybox Fri-Yay Limited Edition Box - I think it blends the typical colours of both Black Friday and Glossybox together really well, plus it's very pretty too! There are 10 products included in the box in total, with a really good mix across make-up, skincare and all that's in-between. Here's a look at what you get: MUA Bronzed Perfection Shimmer in Sahara Sunlight (full-size) Soaper Duper Super Light Sh[...]
The Clinique Pop Lip Colour Lipsticks are one of the best lipstick formulas around; buttery yet not slippery, pigmented yet not thick, and long-lasting without any dryness at all, so when the Clinique Even Better Pop Lip Colour Foundation lipsticks launched (confusing name, I'll explain) I was very excited as this is a product designed to help those of us who struggle with finding their perfect nude. The Clinique Even Better Pop Lip Colour[...]
