I’ve started the new year as I mean to go on – with a new skincare regime! These are the products I’ve been using lately… Benefit Foamingly Gentle Facial Wash – £16.50 I hadn’t used a face wash since I was a teenager, favouring creamy cleansers and scrubs instead, but Benefit’s Facial Wash has reminded me just how lovely they can be. This is ideal when I want to quickly freshen…
YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain – Fuchsia Intemporel 24
I’ve been a fan of the YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stains since I tried Corail Aquatique. Not only do they look fabulous, housed in a luxurious black and gold rectangular tube, they offer the perfect combination of glossy shine and long-lasting vibrant colour. Winter is the ideal time to put down corals and pinks and reach for berry and plum tones instead, so Fuchsia Intemporel is a gorgeous shade for this season. YSL Glossy…
Bvlgari Jasmin Noir
With the arrival of Autumn, I thought it was time to step away from my usual sweet and girly fragrances which make up the vast majority of my perfume collection, and wear something a little more chic and sophisticated. My choice… Bvlgari Jasmin Noir from Perfume’s Club. A captivating mix of jasmine and gardenia petals with accents of almond and woody notes, I love how different this smells compared to the rest of my fragrance…
Garnier Olia Permanent Hair Colour – Iced Chocolate
I recently mentioned I was in the process of deciding on how to transform my hair after I’d grown bored with the colour and style, so I’ve taken the first step and I’ll be dyeing my hair with the new Garnier Olia Hair Dye. I’ll be saying goodbye to the coppery and blonde tones and going back to brunette with the shade Iced Chocolate. Garnier Olia is the first oil-powered home hair…
Philips Reaura – Final Update
I’ve now come to the end of my 8 week trial with the Philips Laser Skin Rejuvenation. You can read about my initial impressions and mid-trial thoughts if you’ve missed my previous posts. As a new anti-ageing solution whose primary purpose is to improve skin by reducing fine lines and age spots, I wasn’t in the target market for this product, but I was hoping to find my skin tone and…

A Natural Beauty Project – DIY Shower Gel
I was recently contacted with a challenge to get back to nature and create a natural homemade beauty product, using ingredients which can be grown in British gardens or greenhouses. I’ve always been intrigued by DIY beauty products, so I welcomed the chance to use natural ingredients to create a fresh beauty product. When I was little I had great fun making my own lotions and potions using anything I…
Philips ReAura – An Update
Back in July, I posted about the journey I was about to embark on with the Philips ReAura Laser Skin Rejuvenation. As I’m only in my 20s, I don’t yet have wrinkles to complain about, so I was more focused on whether this device could give me a more even skin tone and texture with a reduction in blemishes. I was a little apprehensive when using this for the first time,…
Balmi Strawberry Lip Balm
I’ve grown quite a collection of lip balms, and although I have a few favourites, they’re not the most exciting of beauty products and they tend to merge into one indistinguishable mass in my bedside drawer. So when I was sent the new Balmi Lip Balm, the cute, spherical packaging immediately caught my eye. I love the packaging – the little pot lid swivels off to reveal the colourless balm which requires…
She Said Beauty Box
The latest brand on the beauty box scene is She Said Beauty, and last month I was sent a box to try it first hand. There were all sorts of wonderful goodies tucked away in the turquoise box and vibrant pink tissue paper, and after believing the novelty of beauty boxes had worn off, I was pleased to rediscover the excitement of unveiling a surprise package of products. Included in…
