So I’ve already shared my top products of 2013 so it seems only fair to keep the balance and share with you the products that in my opinion didn’t live up to expectations. Dr Jart+ Pore Refine Recover Primer – £18 I’m a huge fan of Dr Jart and up until this product the brand … Continue reading
It’s belatedly that time of year again when I share with you the products that made 2013 great. As it’s a new year I’m not going to bore you by repeating the products that featured in my top beauty products of 2012 as whilst they’re great and all if you wanted to read about the products … Continue reading
Given I’m not a fan of the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser this is reportedly a dupe of I must admit I had pretty low expectations for Superdrug’s Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser (boy that’s a name and a half!). That said when I spotted it on offer for less than … Continue reading
Excuse the slightly battered box on this one, my postie was clearly having a bit of a bad day when he delivered this little package. Anyway, I’ve been using REN’s Clearcalm 3 Clarity Restoring Mask* for a few months now and thought it was about time I shared my thoughts with you. When the kind … Continue reading
A few weeks ago we headed up to Bicester Village in Oxford to do a bit of pre-birthday/pre-wedding shopping. It was a hugely successful trip which saw me picking up bridesmaid dresses for all 4 of my awesome ladies as well as finally finding the wedding shoes of my dreams. Mikey also managed to get … Continue reading

Forlle’d Hyalogy P-Effect Clearance Cleansing and Re-Purerance Wash* When an ad for Forlle’d popped up on my Facebook feed I just knew it … Continue reading
Anyone who has seen my sporadic tweets recently will know that I’m sick at the moment. This has resulted in me feeling pretty sorry for myself, sleeping lots and generally whinging to anyone who will listen. That said, I’m not the kind of girl who is easily defeated so I’ve been hitting back at the … Continue reading
Today the folks at Benefit launched their awesome new Fake Up concealer. Earlier this week I blogged about the launch party where I learnt about what sets Fake Up apart from other concealers, and after putting all three shades through their paces over the last two weeks I thought it was about time I reviewed them. I love the … Continue reading
It’s that time of the month, the one week of the month where I’m best left to my own devices, sadly the same can’t be said of my skin which seems to be in a state of meltdown right now. Now there’s only two things to do in a situation like this, panicking wasn’t an … Continue reading
Some time ago I mentioned rather excitedly that we’d finally booked our Honeymoon. If you missed that post you can find it here.

Behind an unassuming red door off the cobbled high street lives my sanctuary. A place where no matter how hellish my week has been I can sit back for an hour or so and literally feel the stresses and strains melt away. The place I talk of is On Cloud Nine, a luxurious beauty and … Continue reading
I have to level with you and say I hardly ever buy aerosol sprays as I’m always conscious of their impact on the environment, but when Bzzagent offered me the chance to try out the new Dove Compressed deodorant for free I was happy to give it a try. At half the size of the standard Dove … Continue reading
To be honest I’d totally forgotten I even had these bad boys until I spotted them this morning whilst tidying the kitchen. In fact if I’m totally honest they nearly ended up in the bin until I realised they’re actually valid until tomorrow. If you shop at Boots I’m almost certain you have some of … Continue reading

So what was in these little black boxes of joy? Ta Dah! Here’s a closer look at what I bought. I’ve … Continue reading
So you may remember me mentioning these Natural Hero products a few weeks ago as part of my Ski-centuals series.

I followed Louise’s advice … Continue reading
