Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Body Buttercream – £10.50 Once or twice a week I like to apply a luxurious body butter for some intense moisture. The latest addition to grace my ever increasing collection is Soap & Glory’s Smoothie Star. The scent is divine – a delectable combination of pistachio, almond and sweet vanilla which gives off a bakewell tart fragrance. Whenever I use this I have compliments on the scent…
Love Boo Mummy Skincare
I must admit I’ve been quite slack when it comes to applying lotions and potions to my growing baby bump. Both in my twin pregnancy and my current pregnancy, I applied creams and oils sporadically, no more than a few times a week. Now I’ve reached the third trimester, when stretch marks are most likely to appear, I thought it about time I establish some kind of routine in using pregnancy…
Eucerin Even Brighter – Final Thoughts
For the past 8 weeks, I’ve been trialling the Eucerin Even Brighter skin care range, which has been specifically designed to treat hyper-pigmentation and enhance natural radiance by evening out skin tone. My skin was desperately in need of being perked up, it was looking dull after a long winter so these products couldn’t have arrived at a better time. The Eucerin Even Brighter Day and Night Creams are luxuriously thick and creamy, and…
Eucerin Even Brighter
As I head further into my 20s, I find myself paying more attention to my skin care regime, ensuring my skin is well cared for and any problems are dealt with the appropriate product. Eye creams and serums are some of the newest additions to my routine, used in an attempt to keep my skin youthful and wrinkles at bay, but it wasn’t until recently that dark spots on the skin entered…
Philips VisaPure Facial Cleansing Brush
The VisaPure Facial Cleansing Brush is the latest beauty gadget to be released by Philips. The rotating brush claims to cleanse 10 times more effectively than manual cleansing, whilst remaining just as gentle and helping improve skin tone and texture. Using this daily should lead to an improvement in the absorption of skin care products and dead skin cells are removed by exfoliation. I love the design of Philips VisaPure. The nude colour looks feminine yet unobtrusive,…
New Year Skincare Products
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…
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…
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,…

La Maison de Senteurs Orange Hand Wash & Lotion
Having pretty soaps, hand washes and lotions is one of life’s little pleasures, so as soon as I spotted this lovely glass bottle hand wash and lotion set from Marks & Spencer, I knew it would be perfect for our shabby chic style bathroom. From the La Maison De Senteurs range which offers a range of soft scents, I chose Fleur d’Orangia – a delectable combination of sweet orange and petitgrain which leaves hands…
Skintopia Skin Belief Face Serum
Since reaching my mid twenties, I’ve decided it’s about time I pay more attention to my skincare routine. Serums and anti ageing creams now have new appeal for me, and although I’m not currently fighting any wrinkles, there’s no harm in looking after your skin before they appear! I was recently offered a sample of Skintopia Skin Belief Face Serum, which claims to revitalise skin and reduce fine lines and under…
