I have been on a bit of a mission recently to finish off my products (provided they don’t cause horrible reactions on me), both skincare and make up because of course, like most beauty bloggers I accumulate fast but don’t use up quick enough. As I finished up a serum by The Ordinary, it occurred […]
The one brand I really like which is exclusively available from Superdrug is B. Cosmetics. The range is vegan and cruelty free rich I really like. I recently tested out 3 of their liquid matte lipsticks. 1. In the Buff – nude beige. 2. Pinky Promise – nude pale pink. 3. 1995 – brown.
Ok, if you are from the UK, do you know about the brand Botanics? Botanics was originally launched in 1995 by Boots, and is a range of plant based natural skincare extracts and honestly, I can’t remember it not being around. I remember buying one of my first lip sticks from the range and an […]
I am a huge Game of Thrones fan, and I could talk about the various theories all day long! So naturally I couldn’t wait to try out this cool kit from Carlton Books – this book has all the pieces inside to make a Stark Direwolf, a Targaryen Dragon, a White Walker or Lannister Lion. […]
Mii Cosmetics, by Gerrard International is fast becoming a brand I’m really enjoying using – the products are effective, the prices are not outrageous and there’s some interesting pics in there. I recently tried a few items (soon to be released) including the Power Matte Lip Creme (4 shades, £18 each) and the Glitter Glam […]
Happy Monday my dears. Today we are going to talk about empties. I don’t use skincare items up that often – I’m not sure why, maybe because I flit between products or maybe it’s because I am lazy with it. I am trying to be more consistent, I swear. Any how here are a few […]
I was recently sent an eyeshadow product from Q Depot, a Korean cosmetics store to try – an Skinfood Eyeshadow palette from the ‘Mineral Sugar’ range. I haven’t used Skinfood in so long but it was the first ever Korean brand I tried – it’s quite a nostalgic brand for me but I don’t […]
Now beauty balms have really become a staple for me ever since my youngest son, H2 started having eczema flare ups (primarily on his face) and moisturising him is just so so so important. I even asked nursery to make sure his has some cream on in the day even though he’s not there that […]
Today’s post is a guest post by the team at Facing Acne and includes some useful information about vitamins and its effects on your skin. Hope you enjoy! People have long turned to vitamins for their purported health benefits. From better hair to more energy to improved immune function, vitamins influence every level of […]
Another day, another matte liquid lipstick to try. See, I am warming to these formulas because I do like the matte look and I like a lipstick to last for more than one cup of coffee. I tried these matte lipsticks from Lord & Berry with hope in my heart – whilst the packaging is […]
Hello lovely ladies, Just a quick competition for you all – Essie are giving away a full set of their ‘Bring Indulgence to Life’ collection which is perfect for what remains of summer: The shades are as follows:
A few weeks ago I got a humungous treasure chest delivered which I was not expecting – Mr C’s eyes lit up immediately as he saw himself claiming my box (he has) and I was extremely curious as to what was inside….gold coins? In fact inside was a big selection of Dove’s newest skincare range […]
There was once a beautiful Jo Malone candle called Green Tomato Leaf, which I fell in love with but I couldn’t quite get myself to part with £44 smackers for the greens-tangy-refreshing scent…so I pined for the tomatoey scent until one day, I spotted this Tomato Leaf & Geranium scented candle in Wax Lyrical…. Let […]
Bedhead hair products are so iconic – as soon as you see the brightly coloured bottles and names you just know what it is, and how many hair care brands can you say that about? I recall being a poor student and splashing out on one Tigi hair product (it was called ‘Creative Genius’, now […]
As far as liquid lipsticks go, Kat Von D’s are one of the best I have used – there I just came out and said it. My lips are hopelessly dry most of the time and usually if I wear a matte liquid lipstick. I will pay for it in the form of dry flaking […]
Highlighter is now as much a make up staple as concealer – I would call myself a semi highlighter fan. Yes, I buy the occasional one because it looks interesting. But it’s not my favourite “thing”. My sweet cousin heard me say I like liquid highlighters and that Topshop was soon releasing a small collection […]
I’ve seen the Kneipp brand around for a while but this is my first every experience trying the brand out! Woop! The brand was created by Sebastian Kneipp, who harnessed the healing power of water by using specific plants and herbs for the task. The range is rather vast, with a focus on body care […]

If you have small children aged 5 and under then you may find dining out with them stressful at times. Admittedly some parents starting eating out with their kids quite young so they are well trained, but my kids definitely need a bit of help to keep them interested and co-operative in a restaurant environment. […]
When I got married 5 years ago we went to Greece for our honeymoon, and even though we were very much in a tourist spot I still managed to find a Sephora (I was in heaven) and every single pharmacy I went in to had an impressive selection of Greek made skincare (Korres and Apivita […]
