No, really, I’m not! I just have impingement in my shoulders caused by severe bursitis (basically, I can’t move one arm much at all) and typing is a bit of a problem at the moment … oh, and I’ve been away! The above picture should give you a clue where I’ve been 😉 A bigger post coming up about Eurovision later this week, hopefully. […]
Apparently, just writing “I LOVE THIS STUFF” doesn’t make for a proper review, but I’ve always been a bit woolly on what constitutes a real, “proper” review, so that will have to do. I’ve tried other hair serums, of course, but only the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny seems to weigh my hair down enough to keep it from frizzing up at even the tiniest opportunity, […]
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 […]
Kalahari melon. Apparently, they’re a melon that grows in the desert, and an extract from their seeds has made it possible for Liz Earle to re-release their haircare range. Initially rather underwhelmed when the Liz Earle haircare offering was just the shampoo alone, I’ve found using it in conjunction with the new conditioners is actually really good for my slightly coarse, definitely frizzy and (slightly) […]
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 […]
I went along to the re-opening of the Fresh store in Marylebone last week, it has been a while since I was in there and I was thrilled at the new look, especially the sensorial bar, where you can experience all the scents in one place, and decide which one you like best. The pale duck-egg tiles around the store also add a certain […]
First things first, the original Aromatics Elixir from Clinique is a fragrance I’ve been wearing for around thirty years now, if I were to ever have a “signature fragrance”, Aromatics would be it. So, when Aromatics in White was released, I was intrigued. It is difficult for me to do a direct comparison, as the original is just still a little too strong for […]
I do love a lipgloss. I don’t wear them nearly as often as I used to because very often they don’t allow a proper slick of colour, and they don’t last anywhere near long enough on the lips. However when MUFE Artist Plexi Gloss unexpectedly popped through my letter box, I was really happy because these are pigmented and they are properly colourful! This is […]
I’m on such a cleansing kick at the moment, it’s not even funny. Luckily there are some amazing cleansers around right now, and from some great brands too, so I’m actually quite happy about this! I’ve been dying to try Z Pure Cleansing Balm, from one of my favourite brands; Zelens, since before it was released, and I eventually gave up waiting for my […]
I was lucky enough to be at the annual CEW awards lunch on Friday, and when Charlotte Tilbury won two awards (Best New Brand – Prestige and overall Best British Brand) the cheering was insanely loud in the room. It’s fairly safe to assume that they were incredibly popular wins! I have really liked everything I’ve tried from the brand and thought it was time […]
I should probably preface this review with two facts: the first is that Oud Silk Mood by Francis Kurkdjian is one of my all-time favourite fragrances of all-time and this review will potentially be coloured by that, and secondly it must be made known that I am still currently parosmic and as a result I’m not sure how much use a review written by someone with […]
And we’re back to lipsticks! I’m genuinely not sure why these haven’t been on the blog before now, but the Estee Lauder Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Lipsticks are incredibly beautiful. They feature intense, opaque colours, with a gorgeous feather-light texture, a hydrating formula, and a glossy long-lasting finish. But anyway, they’re here now, and they’re beautiful. Did I mention that? From left to right here […]
