Review – Thierry Mugler Womanity

Caviar.  It’s always the first thing that occurs to you when you think of how a woman smells, isn’t it? No?  Well, in spite of it’s much touted “figs’n’caviar” reputation, it won’t be the first thing you think about when you sniff Womanity, either, don’t worry.  Neither will figs, actually, but more about that later. The first thing I think about when I smell Womanity […]

Review – Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Foundation

This review alongside this one finally made me take the plunge into buying a Giorgio Armani foundation.  I adore my Blushing Fabric blushers, so when I was in Selfridges lately, I thought I’d complete the set. A 40ml tube will set you back £29 which is fairly expensive, but you use so little that I estimate that the tube will last quite a while.  It’s […]

Review – Summerlicious at The Chapel, Islington

At times, I’m truly reminded that mine is a somewhat charmed life. Recently, I spent the most delightful four hours in the company of Billie, Kay and Kim at the Chapel Hair salon in Islington, and was made to feel so much at home, that I didn’t really want to leave. Having read up a little before my visit about the “trend-setting” owners Billie Crago […]

Review – Clarisonic (First Thoughts)

Ever since I read Gemma’s Clarisonic Diaries posts about her experiences of using a handset for a month over on London Beauty Review a while ago, I’ve wanted one of these sonic beauties!  A couple of weeks ago though, this desire was cemented by the amazingly talented Jody Bloch at the Fern Skin Clinic, who told me that a Clarisonic would definitely help me with […]

Review – Alpha H facial

Yesterday’s post was about a blissful spa, so full of relaxation that I genuinely think the treatments – though enjoyable – are entirely secondary to the spa itself.  Today’s post is about a spa that’s more or less the exact opposite, putting great treatments front and centre, but entirely fabulous nonetheless. Fern Skin Clinic are the only spa in the country licensed to carry out […]

He’s Baaaaaaack!

Yes, MrLippie is back reviewing again.  And I think he may have been drinking! Take a look at his latest post over on Ape to Gentleman, and don’t forget to let him know what you think.  All the filth in the final paragraph has nothing to do with me, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.  So there.

Review – Andrew Barton Salon Covent Garden

I’ve been a bit obsessed with hair this year, I can’t deny it. I’ve had four visits to different salons since Christmas (which is at least three more than usual, I’m notorious for leaving it far too long between visits), and, hand on heart, there’s only one of them I’d definitely go back to.  And that is this one. I was invited along for a […]

Review – Skin.NY Skincare

Remember this post? I had a little rant about the Utter Drivel that was written on the boxes, then said I’d be trying the creams out for six weeks, so I could see if they would turn me into Ava Gardner overnight.  Well, 28 nights, but you catch my drift … Well, I signed up to try them for six weeks, but I am here […]

Review – Armani Code for Men

Well, it’s been a while since he popped up, and I did embarrass him this week by outing his new-found love of candles, so I thought it was time he reviewed something else. Today’s post is by my fluffy wuffy bunnykins Mr Lippie.  Please say hello: *** So. I’m not a big wearer of scents, I think we’ve established that. If you didn’t know it […]

Bliss?

I bought these just after Christmas for the bargain price of about £15, I love the post-Christmas sales, I think the normal retail price of this little lot is about £30!  There’s a double size shower gel, a  full-size body butter and a trial-size handcream. So, why has it take me till nearly April to review them?  Well, they’re just a bit meh.  I’ve read […]

Review – Perricone MD Cold Plasma

Oh, bad reviews pain me, they really do … At a blogger event recently, we were given a jar each of Perricone MD Cold Plasma cream to take away and try for ourselves.  As it retails for approximately £120 a jar, I was pretty excited to get this, as I knew one of my housemates would adore to try it. Perricone MD are very proud […]

Review – Liz Earle

Liz Earle were kind enough to send me some of their products to try out recently, I thought it was about time I had a fresh look at the brand, so was happy to give them the once over.  Here’s what I thought of their basic skin-care products. Cleanse and Polish  I first tried C&P about 10 years ago, and I remember not loving it […]
