When the folks at Niven & Joshua heard I was putting together a series of Ski-centuals posts they kindly offered to send me through some products from Polaar, a mens skincare brand, for my male guinea-pig aka. Mike, to review whilst we’re away. Polaar is the first skin care range for men based on Polar active … Continue reading
As the title suggests, I just wanted to do one final round up post to share with you the bloggers I’ve been reading the most this year. If you want to see a full list of the bloggers I love please check out my Blogroll. Favourite Lifestyle Blogger – The Londoner Not only is Rosie … Continue reading
So I’ve covered off my Favourite Products of 2012 but which were the ones that left me feeling more than a little disappointed? Here are the products of the year that just didn’t work for me. Umberto Giannini Volume Blow Dry Spray – £5.49 from Boots I was willing to overlook the fact that the … Continue reading
It’s hard to believe that it’s the final day of 2012, a time to reflect on the year gone by and the products that have made it great. It was hard to narrow it down to just a handful as there’s been some truly awesome products I’ve discovered this year, however with the exception of … Continue reading
I don’t know about you but as soon as December comes around I develop an almost instant love of all things glittery, and these bad boys were no exception. Formerly Collection 2000, Collection have found a big place in my heart this year providing great quality cosmetics at purse-friendly prices. The Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel … Continue reading
Sorry for the radio silence these last few days, I had posts scheduled but real life got in the way and I didn’t get a chance to finish writing them up. Anyway, I’m back now with more suggestions of products you should be packing if you’re heading to the slopes this season or even if … Continue reading
I’d heard such great things about the Perricone MD No Concealer Concealer but always been put off by the price. I mean let’s face it, £37 for a concealer is more than a little steep, particularly when you see the size of the bottle. However when I spotted it in Sephora for $39 I soon … Continue reading
I’ve decided to break this down into two parts as I had no idea how many nail polishes I’d bought until I came to re-pack my suitcase for the trip home. Mike’s face was a picture when he saw me unpack them all! So anyway, here’s my make up haul from CVS and Walgreens. I … Continue reading
When it comes to Victoria’s Secret I usually wander around the shop browsing but rarely purchase anything. This all changed however when I popped in last week to purchase some fragrances for a colleague with absolutely no intention to buy anything for myself. I was blown away by the sheer number of fragrances and couldn’t … Continue reading
I’ve had my eye on the Caudalie Beauty Elixir and Divine Oil for a while now but always assumed they were super expensive so didn’t go out of my way to buy them. This all changed whilst I was in the States last week. It’s no secret that Sephora is one of my favourite stateside … Continue reading
Being the great Fiancee/Girlfriend I am I appreciate that it’s not just us girlies who suffer with skin issues when Jack Frost comes around which is why I was quick to pick up this fab little set for Mike when I was wandering Sephora last week. Of course I also wanted to use him as … Continue reading
As a seasoned long-haul traveller I know only too well what it’s like to struggle to rehydrate my skin or desperately battle with a break out. After several years of trial and error though, I’ve managed to minimise the effects of long-haul flying with these awesome products and if I am unfortunate enough to still … Continue reading

Simply-Woman.com is an online magazine focusing on beauty, lifestyle and travel topics. We write about topics using a magazine style layout but with a personal touch.

Hello :) The lovely Gem and I are doing a cheeky little guest post swap, once she’s come back from her trip to the states she’ll be doing a US beauty haul post on my blog, so you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for that :) A little bit about me – I’m a … Continue reading
Whilst I’m not one for wearing lots of make up, the make up I do wear is rather long-lasting and as such I’m quite thorough when it comes to removing it and like to make sure every last scrap is removed before I go to sleep. It’s got so bad that Mike has actually asked … Continue reading
I’ve been dabbling with BB creams for a while, ever since I received my Dr Jart+ Water Fuse sample from Sephora, and then consequently purchased it before I head back to the UK (which I reviewed here), but nothing has really stood out as being a must have item. Nothing that is until I found … Continue reading
As I mentioned in my Origins Haul post, I have fallen head-over-heels in love with their GinZing eye cream, so much so that I bought a full size pot the very same week my sample arrived. If that doesn’t say something, nothing will! I must admit when it comes to eye creams I always start … Continue reading
I’ve just discovered Beauty Sets, a fab new website that allows you to create magazine style editorials at just a click of a button. I’m off to the states soon, which means trawling my favourite US sites for goodies I wish to buy, so I thought this would be the perfect excuse to have a play … Continue reading
As I’m sure many of you are aware, last week Selfridges’ Lucky Bags went on sale, sold out within 48 hours and then caused mass outrage less than 24 hours later when they started arriving. The main issue was that Selfridges had promised a lucky dip from the most exciting make-up, hair, skin and … Continue reading
When it comes to daily rituals there’s one thing I can’t live without and that’s my shower. Unfortunately our shower decided to die a few weeks back so I’ve been resorting to sitting in the bath tub with one of those shower heads that attaches to the taps. It’s not as bad as it sounds, … Continue reading
