Tweet I am a big fan of toner for a whole host of reasons; to make my skin feel really clean, to make my skin feel fresher, to leave the skin slightly more moisturised (especially with Japanese ‘lotions’). I dislike toners with alcohol as my skin is already dry, but I also don’t like how some moisturising toners can leave a sticky feeling to the skin. A product I had a demo of once on a Aveda counter – a hand {Read More}
Tweet Baby Candy has a rather impressive collection of skincare, I tell ya, cos I can’t stop buying new products for him! As he’s preterm and tiny, he seems to have very pink, translucent skin, which can get quite flaky at times (on his hands and feet). I am dedicated of course, to keeping him well moisturised, but at the same time, I can’t yet give him a full body massage or anything as he gets cold very easily (and {Read More}
Tweet If there is one product I have really incorporated into my daily skincare routine since carrying baby Candy, it’s stretch mark oils for the belly. In fact – Mr C applies this for me every night and it’s a chance for him to catch any wiggles or movement (baby C likes to mess about at night near the surface it seems!). There’s an arm! There’s a bum! I amazingly have not had any stretch marks apart from yesterday, I {Read More}
Tweet From Friday and throughout September 2012, Escentual are offering 1/3 of French pharmacy skincare brands, such as Avene, La Roche Posay, Vichy… I really like French Skincare Brands! I prefer them over Asian and British skincare brands so far. Avene has been a life saver throughout my pregnancy, it’s very simple but effective and affordable (although I have some Caudalie skincare to start testing soon!). See the French Pharmacy Ranges at Escentual here - remember, it’s a 1/3rd off {Read More}
Tweet I have been to see the skincare guru that is Nataliya Robinson before and had an exception facial (review here) so was very pleased to pop back in to see her in her new North London location the day after my wedding (a little treat before getting on a long train journey home!). The lady herself: Nataliya had some new products and techniques in which she wanted me to try. If you read my previous review, what I really loved {Read More}
Tweet Roll up, roll up – time is of the essence so here is my first speed review post with a mixture of bits and pieces I’ve tried out over the last few months but just don’t have the time (or the words?) to do a full review on! First up – Visee’s Limited Edition Mineral Cheeks Baby Finish in Orange OR-7 Visee is one of those Japanese brands that always looks good and is very tempting! But the products {Read More}
Tweet I mentioned before that life got really really really hectic this year, and there was a period when I was moving too (not so long ago) that I was literally living out of a suitcase…well, out of a Primark shopping bag with minimal beauty products. In this time, my skin actually – amazingly – settled down a lot. Is it perfect? Nope. I still have to work on preventing early wrinkles and uneven tones! But it ‘calmed down’. I {Read More}
