Even if you’re not hitting the slopes this season, lip balms are an absolute saviour if you want soft, supple lips in the Winter. Here’s a selection of 5 of the best lip balms I’ve found. Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast – £1.75 from Superdrug Great for those who like sweet, fruity lip balms but don’t … 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
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
With only a matter of weeks until we hit the slopes I’ve been on the look out for some awesome new products to try. After a bit of twitter banter the lovely Louise, founder of Natural Hero, offered to send me some products and being as accident-prone as I am I leapt at the chance. … 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
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
Today I had every intention of heading to my meeting in London and then heading home to work from the comfort of my sofa. All this changed however when I received a text telling me my Selfridges Lucky Bag had been delivered to the office. It would be sacrilege to leave my lucky bag waiting in … 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
Well ladies, the wait is finally over. After weeks of excitement and anticipation the Selfridges Lucky Bag is now available to buy. But be quick, with only 1,000 bags available they look set to sell out fast! Selfridges explain that each bag includes a minimum of five beauty must-haves, while a very lucky few contain … 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
Having toyed with the idea of buying Origins‘ VitaZing for months, I jumped at the chance to purchase it as part of the Brightening Musts set which includes not only the full size VitaZing but also a 30ml Modern Friction (my favourite Origins product!) and 5ml GinZing for £1 less than the price of VitaZing on it’s own. … 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
I think it’s safe to say every beauty blogger has written a post about bioderma at some point, to be honest that’s why I’ve always avoided writing one myself. Recently though I’ve found myself getting quite a bit of traffic from people looking for Bioderma reviews and being the kind of girl who just hates … 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
