**UPDATE: randomised winner of the NEOM set is Ella Kohn! Well done Ella, thank you (all of you) for grovelling at my feet. I'm still laughing about it...** NEOM Luxury Organics have launched a gorgeous new range for soon-to-be Mums. The Feel Amazing treats set...
The latest gradual tanner to be subjected to my extensive testing process: St Tropez's Everyday Moisturiser in Medium-Dark. This one comes with a caution, because I do find it very, very strong - if you get it wrong then it can streak or stain. This could be because...
Just a quickie (as they say) because I want to tell you about this soap. It's a soap that's not a soap, more like a creamy cleanser bar. I really like it - and I'm not at all keen on things in bars. I think that half the reason I like it is that I like the brand -...
You know me - always on the look out for properly luxurious bath treats! Another one to tempt you with - Neom Luxury Organics - and this one is simply called "Real Luxury". So far, so good. The packaging also gets top marks; pretty outer box and a gorgeous heavy glass...
When I want a really relaxing bath, I rely on my selection of lavender products. The selection is ever-changing because I'm always testing out something new, but here are some that are currently gracing the bathroom. 1) Aromatherapy Associates "Support" bath oil. This...
I hate the term "affordable luxury" because so often the "luxury" isn't there. It's just affordable "mediocre stuff" that some clueless idiot in an office somewhere has deemed to be luxurious. When it comes to Abahna, however, I have to admit that the term fits very...
Look what I found in my lingerie drawers! (OK, one of my lingerie drawers.) A selection of pretty things - what a nice surprise! The two boxes on the left contain French Talc and fig-scented bath "bombs" - little sacks of fabric that fragrance the bathwater...
I am deeply impressed with Piz Buin's Tan and Protect range. I have used loads of Piz Buin products before, including the amazing In Sun Ultra Light Spray which is an absolute cinch to apply. I'll hold my hands up and admit to the fact that I like having a tan. It's...
I knew that I was in trouble as soon as I unscrewed the lid from Emma Hardie's Body Butter. Actually, I knew I was in trouble before that, probably before I had even touched the pot, because Emma Hardie has never failed to impress me with her products. (Read the...
ESPA's gift with purchase is utterly gorgeous. The "Try Me..Love Me" skincare collection has been inspired by Alice in Wonderland, the cute little box is filled with four "secret potions"! Completely up my street. The four "potions" are picked from a range of ten,...
Aveda have launched a new line this month, the 'Stress Fix'. I had the pleasure of experiencing a hand and arm massage (part of the full stress-fix massage that has been added to their treatment list) using the body lotion, and I can tell you that it's divine....
Confession: I used 90% of this product up using the wrong method. I mean, entirely the wrong technique. I thought that this scrub was absolutely pointless - it was dry, crumbly, most of it fell off my skin and landed in the bottom of the shower, which is one of my...
