Belle Azul! The Spanish Brand You Should Try!

June 28, 2018 |

Belle Azul! The Spanish Brand You Should Try!

It’s always nice to try out some new skincare products, especially when there’s or preconceived ideas!  Belle Azul is a brand from Barcelona and I was sent a few of the products (of my choice) to try.  Their range is quite interesting as it doesn’t follow a set formula (of say, cleansers, toners, moisturisers).   […]

Raw Elements SPF30 Facial Moisturiser Review

Raw Elements SPF30 Facial Moisturiser Review

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 […]

Estee Lauder Day Wear Advanced Multi Protections UV Defence SPF50 Cream Review!

June 5, 2013 |

Estee Lauder Day Wear Advanced Multi Protections UV Defence SPF50 Cream Review!

One of the reasons I have always been slightly reluctant to wear sunscreen in my day to day life is because a. I like the idea that I have tough Asian skin and I don’t need no sun care protection, yo! (well…none of the women in my family use it and they’re fine) b. sunscreens […]

Skinfood Powders: Red Orange Sun Pact SPF50+ & Seaweed Shining Bronzer Pact Review and Swatches

It’s nearly summer – although you can’t tell from the RAIN outside.  My skin is still as dry as anything but as it warms up, I find more and more use for pretty powders.  I purchased 2 powders from Skinfood a while ago but have only just had the chance to open them to give […]

Daily Sunscreen: Kanebo Freshel White C UV Day Gel SPF31 Review

June 24, 2011 |

Daily Sunscreen: Kanebo Freshel White C UV Day Gel SPF31 Review

I am trying to be more careful with sunscreen – I’ve noticed my skin looking more tired and aged, as well as the fact I am getting darker and darker despite not going on holiday (sob!) or indeed sitting in the sun for any length of time. So I bought a number of face SPF, […]

Sun Protection in your Face Powder: Skin79 Diamond All Day Sun Powder SPF 30

August 17, 2010 |

Sun Protection in your Face Powder: Skin79 Diamond All Day Sun Powder SPF 30

Buy something just because of the packaging? Me? Never! Well ok…quite often. Skin79 has some interesting releases, although their BB cream is too light for me and their concealer didn’t cut the mustard! I wanted to try this All Day Sun Powder though – it sets your make up and has a high SPF of […]

You roast the chicken, not yourself: Calypso Deep Tan Original Carrot Oil

I was searching eBay for some SPF protection for my hair and scalp, when I spotted this Calypso Deep Tan Original Carrot Oil with SPF….0. Man, do they still make this stuff? I remember when the girls at school used to cover themselves in vegetable oil and burn themselves in the “front” garden, over a […]

Super Sunscreen: Hissyfit Tinted Sunscreen, Lip Service and Hand Cream

What are Australian’s good at? Well…BBQs, Volleyball, Breeding Koalas and…Sunscreen. Fabulous sunscreen. They get a lot of sun down under, ya see. They take their sunscreen seriously, because its just stupid NOT to. So I was extremely happy to get a package from Hissyfit to review. The weather is warming up over here and with […]

Review: Kao Biore UV Moist Face Milk SPF Protection Lotion!

If you don’t want to get too wrinkly, said the Prune to the Pineapple, then stay out of the sun! Alas, no one has ever said that to me, not a prune or a pineapple because I live in England, and a rain sodden part of the country too. Sun would be a fine thing. […]
