I must admit, I haven’t tried lots from the Fenty Beauty range although I am rather taken by what I have tried – at least it tries to be fun and colourful, you know? Fun was the first thought I had when I saw Rihanna’s 10 minute guide to make up over on Vogue, (I […]
I can’t seem quit Glossier, like I can’t seem to quit bacon. I know it’s no good for me, I am trying to stop eating meat in general but then my ma, who is the worse at constantly trying to entice me and over feed me comes along with a perfectly fried piece of bacon […]
Having kids really made me look at the sheer amount of waste we produce as a family. It’s not just nappies, it’s the other things like the endless containers of snacks and drinks and all the plastic rubbish you accumulate over time. So I began to look at fairly straight forward ways that we could […]
It’s the place in your home where you spend the most amount of time in one sitting. Why shouldn’t it be as clean and peaceful as the rest of your house? The bedroom should be a sacred place of peace, rest and relaxation. After all, it’s where you go to reset your energy levels and […]
A’Pieu is one of those Korean brands that is always around but doesn’t usually catch my interest at all. It’s there in the background, certainly affordable but not very interesting – I suppose it is my Korean version of say, Bourjois. Anyhow I spotted an eyeshadow range from A’Pieu and it didn’t look very interesting until […]
Boy am I cutting down on the amount of spontaneous make up purchases I make lately. And yet, what can be nicer than a fresh new lipstick? I am frequently disappointed with my Korean lip choice, I am not going to lie, because I’ve realised that: A. They have gorgeous swatches by the colours […]
So much for not making spontaneous beauty purchases. I got an email informing me of Glossier’s newest release, the Lidstar Glistening Eye Glow, which is essentially a liquid eyeshadow and I couldn’t stop myself from ordering some colours to try. See, I am a big fan of cream formulas and I love shimmers. There are […]
Whether you are looking for a romantic weekend away for two or a short break with a group of friends, there are plenty of places to choose from across the UK. We are not always guaranteed the weather but with great hotel facilities and amazing shops and restaurants to visit, you will be sure to […]
So the last time I went for a haircut, the hairdresser suggested to me that I try a treatment called Olaplex – of course I have heard of it, in fact I have used to Step 3 leave in treatment at home (purchased from Amazon) but I was a bit too tight to spend £20 […]
Hello y’all. I feel I haven’t blogged in a while, because, well, I haven’t. Life has been hectic, and I have been struck down with the worst flu and to make it worse, my husband who is usually quite resilient got the same thing. Maybe its the time of year, but being sick right […]
So how about this for a possible Christmas present idea? Sonic Chic make a line of portable electric toothbrushes. Once you go electric you never go back, quite frankly and I recently threw away my old Oral-B since it was getting bit funny. I wasn’t sure if a toothbrush as small as this Sonic Chic […]
It was my birthday recently, and what are birthdays for if not to try something new? My cousin asked what I wanted as a gift so I said I wanted to try something different from Fenty Beauty (I have liked everything else I have tried from hem so far). She chose this lip paint for […]
I have heard so much about Glossier, that I found it impossible to avoid hauling a few more products! I bought 4 items from the website recently: I decided to try one of their lip balms (they have different scents and shades), in Coconut (£10), Perfecting Skin Tint in Dark (£20), Stretch Concealer in Dark […]
If you are a beauty junkie then you will have heard of Fenty Beauty, created by Rihanna and launched a few months ago to much fuss (I believe they still queue for hours to be shade matched on the counters at Harvey Nichols stores in the UK), and I have to admit, even I was […]
After months of months of hearing all about Glossier, the range finally landed on UK shores via their own snazzy website and I decided to make a few purchases to try out. The philosophy behind Glossier is a beauty that celebrates ‘real girls, real life’ – because that is fun and easy, imperfect and personal. […]
The first time I ever experienced a rubber face mask (not that sort) or ‘modelling mask’ was during an Elemis facial – I didn’t know what it was at the time, but the therapist asked if I was claustrophobic because this next mask would go over my eyes and lips too. I said no, but […]
I wrote about my decision to ditch aluminium deodorants so since then I’ve continued to try out new suitable deodorants when I come across them. One thing you have to get used to when you ditch the aluminium is that fact you will sweat more and feel more ‘wet’ (ahem) but at least you don’t smell. […]
I think that many people are aware of the importance of adding some acid to their skin care routines thanks to Caroline Hirons (one of her articles on acids here) but sometimes it can be hard to chose the best acid to try and also to find an affordable one. I have finished up my […]
Another week, another new collection from Essie – these guys a prolific, yo. You are never short of nail polish choices when it comes to Essie. Dressed to the Nineties is the collection for Fall 2017. These nail polishes are inspired by the 1990s style.- Britney Spears, The Spice Girls. Sigh – these were my […]
Have I ever told you about my boys’ beautiful mixed race hair? It is strong and glossy like mine, but also has the softness, the fineness and texture of my husband’s hair. They also have a LOT of hair – it’s pretty glorious. But with great hair comes great responsibility. Their hair grows quite rapidly […]
