Products we love: L’Oreal Paris La Palette Nude reviewMar 15Here’s my L’Oreal La Palette Nude review. There is no doubting that these cute little nude palettes by L’Oreal are very similar to the super famous NAKED palettes by Urban Decay but at less than half the price they are definitely more affordable! You can pick them up for £14.99 (each) at Boots.com. These palettes are brilliantly […] Read More
Products we love: NARS Guy Bourdain One Night Stand Blusher Palette ReviewMar 15 How could I resist this beautiful palette of Nars blushers when I was in their store in New York. The palette includes a highlighter, bronzer and 4 delightful blushes enabling you to create a beautifully contoured look with one palette. It also boasts a gigantic mirror so you can contour on-the-go if you fancy. […] Read More
Treats: A Sisley Facial at SelfridgesMar 15 A quick browse around the Selfridges Birmingham beauty floor a couple of weeks ago and I noticed Sisley had a facial week on in the beauty rooms. The beauty brands all have the option to use these rooms to do pop up treatments and the best thing about this is that the £50 treatment […] Read More
I tried Aldi anti-ageing skincare on your behalf (and I liked it!)Mar 15 So, an Aldi skincare review! I was kindly bought this Lacura Anti-Ageing Hyaluronic Gel as a gift from one of my neighbours who thought I’d be interested to try it. Immediately it reminded me of Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Gel at a much more pricey £45 and it has a very similar ingredient list. Simply put, you […] Read More
Products we love: The ultimate lash-fanning mascara for £7.99Mar 15As you may know I love a Maybelline mascara and snapped this one up as soon as I saw it in Boots. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara‘s main feature is it’s brush and wand. It’s clever! It’s plastic (which I prefer) and in a slightly crescent shape. One side has lots of bristles long and short, the […] Read More
Products We Love: Clarins Gentle Exfoliator ReviewFeb 15After reading Caroline Hiron’s brilliant skincare blog I knew I wanted to invest in a good exfoliating toner and this Clarins one seemed like a good place to start. The Clarins Gentle Exfoliator contains glycolic, salicylic and tartaric acid and these ingredients quite literally ‘gently exfoliate'(!) your face. It leaves my slightly combination skin feeling very refreshed, not dry […] Read More
Products We Love: A Melting Gel Cleanser for under £5!Jan 15I picked this us up at Superdrug when I spotted it was on offer for £3.47! I do enjoy a melting gel cleanser and for that price I couldn’t resist. This is a bit of a dupe of Elemis Melting Cleansing Gel with a very similar texture. This cleanser doesn’t really have a smell..I haven’t decided if […] Read More
New Nail Alert: Chanel Rouge NoirJan 15I’ve always loved Chanel Rouge Noir nail polish after it became famous for Uma Thurman wearing it in Pulp Fiction. The ultimate dark black blood red and I’m not interested in any dupes! It only works on short slightly square nails. Available at Chanel counters and Boots for £14.40 Read More
Products We Love: Caudalie Beauty Elixir – it does everything!Jan 15 If you’re into skincare you’ll more than likely have heard (and used) Caudalie Beauty Elixir. In layman’s terms it’s a spray bottle of goodness – ingredients include grape, orange blossom, rose, organic balm mint and rosemary – that you mist on your face whenever you need a pick me up. I use it as […] Read More
Products We Love: Nars Laguna, Albatross and Orgasm Dupe for under £10!Jan 15I spotted this Sleek face contour kit in Superdrug and was immediately drawn to the colours. I mean there’s no beating around the bush, the bronzer tone is not far off Nars Laguna, the highlight IS Nars Albatross and the pink toned blush is similar to Nars Orgasm/Deep Throat. The extra added benefit is that […] Read More
