I have trouble with eyecreams, the area around my eyes is probably the most sensitive on my face, and many, many eyecreams sting as a result. However, even if they don’t sting, with most of them, I find little to no effect of using them, so I use them for a week or so then usually completely forget about using them at all. However, I’m […]
I’m coming to the end of my “testing phase” with a few products right now, and to celebrate I’m going to be having a bit of a skincare week on the blog from tomorrow, so look out for some in-depth reviews from then. In the meantime, here’s some pictures of the routines I’ve been using. Above is Monday’s faceful, I’d dug out some old Aesop […]
Has the hype died down yet? Is it safe to emerge? I’d been waiting for Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil to launch ever since I heard a little snippet on the grapevine about it last January. It took AGES to get onto market, then by the time I got my bottle, the entire world and his wife had theirs, and they had blogged […]
Last Sunday was a very stressful day, so I ended up giving myself a mini-facial in the middle of the day. Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel was soothing with its rosy softness, then I slathered myself in Aveda Intensive Hydrating Mask for the rest of the day. I love this stuff, oil-free, it is instantly cooling and soothing (I keep mine in the fridge. That reminds […]
Because I’m knee-deep in the middle of a proper skincare testing period, the only things I’ve really been changing around at the moment are my cleansers, and the four in these pictures this week really are amongst my most favourite cleansers of all. From the slightly minty-fresh (but not overpowering or drying) balm of Zelens Z Pure Cleansing Liquid Balm to … The fragrance-free, industrial-strength, […]
You know those nights when you’re accidentally awake at 4am and find yourself mindlessly perusing QVC? Well that happened last week, and two days later, I found the Josie Maran Bright and Beautiful TSV (today’s special value) on my doorstep. I’ve been pretty impressed actually, and thought you might like to see it too. Click to read more: The seven-piece set consists of one five-piece […]
The last time I published a review of Dr Perricone products … well, let’s just say it did not go down too well, so it is with some trepidation that I come to write about them again! I have found myself intrigued by the No Makeup Skincare range for a while now, so, rather in spite of myself, I found myself forking over a bunch […]
My face was not happy this week, so I had to break out my emergency skincare SOS treats. After using Ren’s Flash Rinse One Minute facial, I had a burning face for several hours, and last Sunday brought an irritated rash so it was time to drop essential oils, stop exfoliating, and avoid perfumed products as much as possible. The Darphin Intral toner is one […]
A few years ago, I fell deeply in love with a cleanser, so deeply in fact, that I hoarded the final few millimetres in the jar for three years, saving it’s use for only very, very special occasions. Recently, I was lucky enough to be reintroduced to the entire Omorovicza range (and that heavenly cleanser) and this product has become a little obsession recently […]
Or, my week on Instagram, basically. I’ve been doing a project and messing about with a new camera, so my instagram has been full of pictures of skincare. I thought you might like to see them too – although, if you don’t already follow me there, whyever not? Skin has been a bit parched lately, so I’ve been doubling up on the hyaluronic acid serums […]
More colourfully packaged skincare for you today, but this time for your face. I’ve been trialling the much-hyped Hylamide face and eye serums for a few weeks now, and it’s time to share my thoughts of each. Deciem make a huge range of specifically targeted hair and body (both for internal and external use) products now, but the Hylamide range is the first face-specific produce […]
Intrigued by the invitiation which promised a global launch of a “beauty first”, I trekked along to the Knightsbridge branch of SpaceNK recently (it’s a hard life), and discovered Prismologie, A colourful and luxurious body care range. Prismologie promises to help lift your mood as well as care for your skin. Taking the basics of colour-therapy as its starting point, Prismologie has 12 products divided […]
