Tweet In my day job I deal with a lot of unusual, long (18 characters plus) names and let me tell you, sometimes there are letters that just shouldn’t go together. Like, Z and Q. Or X and K. When I saw these super cute Gwdihw balms I did sit there fore a second and try to pronounce it phonetically. They say: Gwdih? pronounced “Goody Hoo” is the Welsh word for “owl” and also the brand name of our great {Read More}
Tweet Valentine’s day may be over, but there’s still time for lovin’! Jurlique’s Love Balm is a multi purpose face and body balm. It can be used on the lips, dry patches, face, hands etc. The usual multi purpose balm thing and it’s super cute: I’ve carried this round in my handbag for the last week, it’s very compact (15ml in size) and has been useful for the lips and cuticles. You do only get a tidgy bit – good {Read More}
Tweet NIP + FAB is a super cute new skincare range from the makers of Rodial (but without the high prices) and I have been trying out various products from their range. The products are ‘fixes’ – so you have a ‘Cellulite Fix’ or a ‘Dry Leg Fix’ – name your problem and find a solution. Today I am reviewing the very cute Lip + Nip multi purpose balm. This is similar to Elizabeth Arden’s 8 hour cream – typically {Read More}
Tweet How could I not indulge when I saw a extremely cute little potted ointment endorsed by Grandma herself? This little tub (10ml) of ointment comes from Shills, a brand I have been trying out lately. This was inexpensive (about £3) so I thought it would be worth a go. As soon as I got it – I was surprised. Shills is an Asian brand, so why is the Granny on the front clearly a western Grandma? I started to {Read More}
Tweet I remember Eyeko from the olden days, when all they had was the mascara and it was a pretty expensive purchase. I remember wanting the mascara but unable to spend £11, or whatever it was on it. Anyway, fast forward and Eyeko is now found in Superdrug at far better prices and aimed towards, arguably, a teeny bopper audience. I may not be a teeny bopper any more but in my heart…she’s there…lurking. That is why I am equipped {Read More}
Tweet I went through a bit of a Decleor phase after my first proper Spa visit, and *in a dumb and dumber voice* I like it a lot. But I haven’t committed to the whole skincare range. Are you mad? I’ve got plenty to go through first! Nevertheless, I picked up this Decleor Essential Balm which is a night treatment, 100% natural and preservative free. Comes in a rather tiny 15ml pot and a lurid yellow box: It comes in {Read More}
Tweet I like Dr Bronner product quite a lot – I bought some of his Magic Soap a while ago and it was pretty cool (its a liquid soap that can be used for all kinds of things – body wash, shampoo, face wash, hand wash etc.) Its basically Castile soap (made with Olive Oil)…its not very easy to make yourself but maybe one day I’ll teach you how… Anyway here is the Dr Bronner Organic Balm in Peppermint and {Read More}
Tweet I discovered a super pretty and organic range called Kate Logan a while ago and got a few things to try out. One of the items was the Aroma Balm… Aroma Balms incorporate the power of aromatherapy into a scented balm you can apply to the pulse point etc. I am all for natural scents and anything that is portable so I picked one – Daring – there are other scents including; Awaken, Blissful, Clarity, Elation and Serenity. Torn {Read More}
