Boots Botanics Rosewater Toning Spritz Review

Jul 16

I’m obsessed with this stuff. First things first, I love a facial spritz…..for clients and in my personal beauty stash.

Treats: A facial at the Sarah Chapman Clinic

Sarah Chapman is a true facial skincare expert (and general inspirational business person) and having been lucky enough to have a facial from the woman herself I was really keen to visit her new dedicated facial clinic that opened last year.

Products we love: Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask

Jan 16

I have been really trying to get into the habit of a weekly at home facial – nothing too complicated, I tend to stick to a moisturising mask, a clay mask, an exfoliator of some kind and a well massaged in moisturiser.

What’s in my Makeup Kit? – Primers I’m loving

Apr 15

I cannot help but be a sceptic when it comes to primers – they often make big claims which I don’t see when applied. Plus let’s be honest it’s a great way for makeup companies to sell an extra product to you. Saying that I do always ‘prime’ the skin so to speak before applying […]

The last six months has finally seen Micellar waters hitting the UK High Street. Before this it was a purchase you had to save for on-line or take a trip to a French pharmacy to pick up your Bioderma. Botanics All Bright Micellar water is one that has slightly slipped under the radar as it […]
