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
I’m a huge fan of cream blushes so as soon as I heard Bourjois were launching a range of cream blushers I just had to find out more. It’s surprising that after almost 150 years Bourjois haven’t already created a cream blush, but hey, better late than never! The range currently comes in four colours … Continue reading
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
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
It’s Wednesday and only two more days until payday so I thought I’d show you what I’m planning to buy come Friday. 1. Blog Inc. by Joy Deangdeelert Cho – £9.98 from Amazon. I feel my blog is in a good place right now and want to make sure I keep it moving in the right … Continue reading
I have to admit I’ve been pretty disappointed with the calibre of products in the January Sales this year. Naturally this didn’t stop me from buying a whole heap of goodies from Space NK. 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
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
I feel like I’ve been out of the loop when it comes to MAC collections recently. Though that’s probably not a bad thing given my propensity to purchase anything with the limited edition tag for fear of non-buying remorse as soon as it’s hard to track down. But not this time. When it came to … 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
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
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

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. You can follow us on Bloglovin, Hellocotton, … 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
After many weeks, several emails, numerous calls and a ranty blog post my Origins order finally arrived! I picked up the fab Brightening Musts set which includes a full size VitaZing moisturiser, 5ml GinZing eye cream and 30ml Modern Friction dermabrasion polish all for just £26 which is less than the price of VitaZing on … Continue reading
I like to think I’m fairly immune to advertising, but when the advert for Nivea Express Hydration Primer appeared on my TV I just knew I had to have it. And when I then discovered it was just £3.99 (RRP. £4.99) in Superdrug, I just knew it was meant to be! But was it worth … 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
