You can never have enough lipsticks – SAYS ME. Currently, I am loving matte textures (because they don’t transfer on to my rugrats) that aren’t drying and in super bright colours – why? See, I am obsessed with K-Dramas at the moment and the hot look over there that nearly every single girl sports is […]
I’ve been skincare auditing lately as I move to a more Asian style skincare routine – however my diehard favourite Western brands have made the cut and that includes quite a few products from Kiehls since it is one of the few brands that doesn’t irritate my skin at all (I will go through my […]
Anything by Suqqu is generally lush, right? Well…yes. As one of the more luxurious Japanese brands, it is consistent in quality whether it is the skincare or make up. You have to appreciate the style of make up of course; you may think their eyeshadows are quite sheer, but that is the natural but radiant […]
Floors London have recently created a Limited Edition Rose Geranium Bath Essence in support of Macmillan Cancer Support, to be launched in September 2015. The beautiful limited edition sleeve was illustrated by Marta Spendowska. This is now a cause very close to my heart and Macmillan really are a wonderful charity – it is estimated […]
I’ve had scalp woes (documented on this blog!) for a while now, mainly itchiness, flaking etc. I have managed to contain the symptoms well although I recently had a bad flare up, a result I believe of testing some cheap products (boo!). I had intense itching for days which no amount of washing stopped or […]
It’s been a while since I wrote a blog post about spotting a fake MAC lip stick – I bought Peachstock from eBay in good faith, paid a good price for it and the seller swore to me on their child’s life that it was 100% authentic so I kept it but there was always […]
If Joan Collins did make up it would look like…well, it would look like this. Gold packaging that reminds me of Estee Lauder, a classic selection of colours for dramatic or natural looks. I admit Joan Collins make up isn’t the first brand that pops so mind when looking for a fresh day to day […]
I absolutely love discovering new ranges of healthcare type products; the sort of thing you would buy at a health food store for example just because I like looking for natural solutions around the house and I believe that essential oils and homeopathy can be effective for a number of things (that is just my […]
One thing I’ve realised I can’t have enough of is well sized strong pouches and bags for me to store all my bric-a-brac in (ie. keep all the rubbish in my handbags organised). Indeed, even when I am packing ‘light’ I am still carrying around a ton of things with me incase I need it, […]
I’ve never used Fresh skincare products before so this is my first dabble. The Seaberry Skin Nutrition Booster is essentially a moisturising face oil, blended with pure oils like seaberry, cranberry seed, camellia seed, grapes etc. It contains omegas which are supposed to help the skin feel hydrated and nourished. As it’s a booster it […]
Vidi Vici is a premium Korean beauty brand that I am HUGELY fond of – the creative director, Lee Kyung Min is hugely talented and has a real eye for nice colours and looks. As much as I like buying cheap Etude House lipsticks at £6 a pop, we all need a bit of luxury. […]
There’s a Superdrug about 5 minutes walk from where I live (yeah!) so it has become my go to pharmacy/beauty stop shop. Just as well that I was sent a Superdrug Beauty Card with £25 credit on it to spend. I didn’t want to do a pointless shop – I wanted to get things […]
I really am addicted to lipsticks, especially new formulas – his Missha Soft Matte Lip Rouge is hardly a new formula but I thought there was something quite slick about it’s Shu Uemura-ish clear packaging and I was intrigued by a matte and soft finish. I love mattes, but with my horribly dry lips […]
I have been using this Kaeng Raeng Detoxfoliant All Natural Body Scrub Review for 2 months now during my bath times and I’ve really like it. This all natural chemical free scrub is made up of Pink Salt, Sea Salt, shea butter and essential oils. I have Lavender Vanilla because it’s one of the more […]
This year has passed so quickly and it’s another eventful one for us at the Candy Household. I wish you all a very happy and special Christmas Day and New Year x
Do I have time to crochet?! Not really. Inbetween taking care of Harrison, working, housework and preparing for another baby, I don’t really have a ton of leisure time. But, I do love crochet, I love crafts in general, and I’ve come to realise that when I have the right pattern and yarn, it’s just […]
Last week Burberry released their latest fragrance, My Burberry, the name coming from the way that people refer to their Burberry trench coat. The advertising campaign, if you have seen it, features Kate Moss and Cara Delevigne and is shot by Mario Testino. My favourite thing about this new perfume is that you can monogram […]
For the Selfridges Beauty Project, Estee Lauder have a few little beauty treats… Firstly there are two exclusive shades of Pure Color Envy Lipstick in Daring (a bright orange) and Ambitious Pink (a hot pink). Both colours are very pretty for spring and summer! Each week there will also be a new exclusive look to […]
Last week I visited one of my favourite luxe cosmetic brands Giorgio Armani in Harvey Nicolas Manchester, as they currently have a pop up counter in there! The Armani counter is very sleek, spacious and also quite private – perfect for getting a little make over without glaring passers by! Where to begin with the […]
On the 1st of May, Jo Malone London will be releasing five of their much loved scents in Limited Edition bottles, designed by artists, Calm & Collected. C&C was formed by four artists, Adam Bletchley, Alex McCullough, Chris Mackenzie and Donal Sturt, all with various talents who focus on fun and irreverent designs. The […]
