Hello everyone! First beauty post in a while but I thought I’d share my thoughts on the beauty subscription (essentially) company, Beauty Pie, which I signed up to last year. I had heard of it but had largely ignored it until then. I am not sure why I did sign up now I think […]
A few months ago I had the pleasure of going along to my local M&S to be introduced to the Filorga brand (where the range is stocked) and I had a few products recommended to me which I have been using for a while. So now I’m ready to review for you! Filorga was founded […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Did I tell you I’ve been on a skincare kick lately? Instead of being lazy about cleansing and hydration I’ve been making an effort and it really shows. Anyway another unique little skincare brand I’ve been incorporating in to my range is from IXXI (I think that’s how you write it!). This French brand focuses […]
I hardly have any time to blog these days, so I figured it would be best to do some compilation posts. So here goes! Superdrug Naturally Radiant Glycolic Acid Pads (£5.99) Since acid pads are all the range I thought I could buy these cheap as chips Glycolic acid pads to try. These are supposed […]
I have been a lot better recently with skincare and paying attention to my skin, rather than trying to fix it every now and then with face masks and treatments and it’s really paying off. I have also been on project FINISH STUFF. Face creams I am not that keen on, I’ve been using as […]
I started testing the NEWA Skin Tightening a device just over a month ago. Now, I want to share with you my results as well as run a competition for you to win your own device worth £350! To recap what the device is and what it does, please visit my first post. So let […]
I am most definitely at that age now where the sleepless nights are catching up on my face – I feel tired, I look tired. I am not one for injections or anything that involves PAIN or long term commitment in terms of skin care. I don’t want to get botox then have to get […]
When I was recently offered the chance to try a Home Anti Ageing Facial Treatment device called the NEWA, I said YES, YES, LET ME TRY. Why? I am in my 30s now. That sounds scarier to say than it actually is. I don’t think I look bad at all for my age but raising two […]
I have never heard of the Beauty Kitchen brand before I was sent these products – but man, they are 100% up my street. From their ethos, to their packaging, to the products themselves. Beauty Kitchen is British made and focuses on natural ingredients at affordable prices. A “natural” product by their standards, is an ingredient […]
You know you can not pay that much attention to something and then suddenly, you can’t stop noticing it? Like, a stain on the wall. Ok that’s that terrible example. But that is what I am trying to say about Pixi. Sure, the brand has been around for a long time. The brand has always […]
I was talking to a few ladies just yesterday and quite of us mentioned how the smell of Olay products reminded us of our mums! Their ‘beauty fluid’ was a classic product back in the day that was probably universally used by hoards of women. So Olay. My mum still swears by their products. They […]
I have become a real sucker for a nice facial oil – nice but not TOO fancy as I find too many essential oils can make my sensitive skin react. I will do a post eventually on the ones who are in my ‘skincare tub’. One of the ones I’ve really enjoyed using is this […]
It’s only in the last year I have really grown to appreciate the facial oil. From plain and simple oils like Coconut to the fancy oils that cost mega bucks, I’ve found them an essential addition to my night time skincare routine. And also they are great for massages and just additional hydration. Currently I […]
Over the last month I have been sorting out my skincare box – I have a lot of products (and being a blogger I get to try things I wouldn’t go out and purchase too). The fact is, I just don’t have time to use a ton of products and I get overwhelmed, especially if […]
Sukin is an Australian skincare brand selling ‘Natural’ products – that is they are cruelty free, carbon neutral, vegan and contain clean ingredients. The impressive part for me when I first saw the range was the price point which is in line with the more high end chemist/drug store brands (ie. £10 for a […]
When I read Jessica Alba’s ‘The Honest Life’ it really made me think (I am still reading it by the way!) about the types of products we use on our bodies and also around the house. I am slowly making changes where I can and I decided to buy a facial sunscreen from American brand […]
