Last month was crazy busy and as such my blogging took a bit of a battering. Thankfully things seem to have calmed down a bit now and the only things standing in the way of me and blogging is my newly formed keep fit routine and my addiction to Ni No Kuni (36 hours in … Continue reading
For the final part of my Ski-centuals series I thought I’d show you what I took with me on our recent ski trip. When you’re out in the elements it’s essential to keep your skin both protected and hydrated. Which is exactly what these products are great at doing. Boots Essentials Cucumber Cleansing Wipes – … Continue reading

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
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 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’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
Once in a while an obsession completely sneaks up on me. It started with the TRESemme Split Remedy sealing serum and then before I knew it I had the entire range! Admittedly not all of the above are in regular rotation and there are some products I probably wouldn’t repurchase, but on the whole it’s … Continue reading
I’m a complete hairdresser-phobe and as such am always looking for ways to improve the condition of my hair without taking the dreaded cut, so when I heard that Aveda were giving away Damage Remedy sample kits I jumped at the chance to get one. The kit comes in a handy travel sized boxed and contains … Continue reading
Whilst I’ve always been a massive fan of Mac Cosmetics and their never-ending array of limited edition collections, up until now I haven’t really ventured into their skincare range. Sure there was the briefest of moments with an SPF 50 cream (don’t ask me which) bought for a first holiday with an ex which combined with the Turkish … Continue reading
Whilst in LA earlier this year I was lucky enough to stay in the W hotel. Now on the whole I’m not a big fan of the W hotels, more often than not I find myself stepping off the plane and struggling to work out the simplest of things like turning on the shower or switching … Continue reading
One of the things I love most about trips to the states is the chance to pick up hard to find beauty products, and last year’s trip to San Francisco was no exception. Usually I intend to write a Haul post as soon as I’m home, but generally real life gets in the way resulting in … Continue reading
