I am a huge fan of big, loose curls à la Kim Kardashian and Victoria’s Secret Angels so I was delighted when I was offered the chance to review the Instyler which is unlike any other hair tool I’ve seen before. The InStyler combines a rotating hot iron with a bristled comb which not only gives long lasting loose curls, it adds volume and lift and can be used to straighten hair too. As…
Miss KG Glitter Bow Pumps
I’ve been in desperate need of some new flats so when my Elle subscription arrived and a £25 Kurt Geiger gift card was included, I headed straight to the site to peruse the shoes. I spotted these Miss KG Licorice 2 beauties and knew they were the ones. I recently rekindled my love for glitter after trying Models Own Pink Fizz so these gold glitter pumps with a dusky pink bow were the…

Soap & Glory The Fab Pore Facial Peel
I never used to suffer from problem skin but as I get older my skin is gradually getting more oily and my pores seem to increase in size with each passing day. Soap & Glory claim their Fab Pore Facial Peel is ideal for oily skin or for those who want to tackle their T-zone so it sounded like the perfect solution to my problems. The minty fresh mask is rich and creamy, so…
Models Own Pink Fizz
The last time I recall wearing glitter nail polish was when I was around 12, in preparation for the school disco with the local boys grammar school. It’s always been something I’ve associated with tweens but lately I’ve found the classically elegant french manicure which has adorned my nails for the best part of this year has finally lost its appeal and I was craving nails which were unashamedly girly and…
Carmine October Box
Carmine is the latest brand to release a sample box in the ever growing beauty box market, so when I was offered the chance to try it, I was keen to see how it compared to the others. The Carmine box is priced at £10 plus £2.95 postage, which puts it at the same price point as a Glossy Box and Boudoir Prive. My initial thought was that I didn’t like the packaging. Presentation is…
Happy Birthday Lipcote!
Happy Birthday Lipcote! The award winning Brit Beauty Classic celebrates 50 years of being the original lipstick sealer which gives lasting, transfer resistant lipstick. I’m a huge lipstick fan and its one of those things I have with me at all times. My lipstick drawer is something I love delving into to find that perfect shade to match my outfit and give the finishing touch. Some of my favourite lipsticks may boast…
Indigo & Ivory
Blouse: Reiss Jeans: Topshop Kristen Watch: Michael Kors Necklace: Etsy Shoes: New Look (Trying to demonstrate the shoulder detail unsuccessfully) I recently fell out with jeans, then realised one day it might be that the style of jeans I was wearing weren’t particularly flattering, so I turned to Topshop’s high waisted Kristen jeans in the hope they’d rekindle my love for jeans. I wasn’t sure if they’d make my legs…
Sleek Makeup Brow Kit
I’ve always been a firm believer in the importance of brows in transforming the face and framing the eyes. For me, my makeup isn’t complete until I’ve filled and defined my eyebrows. Until now I’d been Clinique’s Superfine Liner and ELF’s Eyebrow Kit on lazy days. Then the new Sleek Makeup Brow Kit landed on my doormat. The Brow Kit is available in two shades, quite simply ‘Light’ and ‘Dark.’ I…
Boudoir Prive October Box
Included in the box: Rose & Co Rose Petal Salve I was delighted to find a full size Rose Petal Salve in this month’s box. The best selling product from Rose & Co Apothecary, this beautiful rose scented salve not only soothes chapped lips, it can also be used on dry skin, to tame unruly eyebrows or condition and define lashes. Korres Guava Body butter I’ve heard fantastic things about…
