Sunscreen formulas have been getting progressively lighter and more comfortable to wear. It's true that some of the higher factor versions do still leave a bit of a white cast on the skin, but most are sheer and fast to disappear after application. The four sunscreens...
Summer is here and - if you're anything like me - you're frantically hunting for your foot file and your gradual tanner to get your legs and feet into some kind of presentable condition. There's a post coming up with some of my most-used foot products, but what about...
A new and rather exciting launch from Lancome; a mascara that promises to solve all of our mascara-applying woes! My particular mascara grievances are: wands that are too long and uncontrollable and bristles that are just ridiculously chunky. With too-long wands I...
Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster does all of the right things when it comes to facial tanning: it's subtle, it's streak-free and it gives the most gorgeous, believable glow. Perhaps its biggest selling point, though, is the fact that it fits seamlessly into...
Sorry about this one folks: it's a post about an amazing product that I can't find a proper stockist for. I'm well aware of how annoying that is, but bear with me and I'll try to add some stockist information by the end of the day. I'm currently away from Mission...

Well. I wasn't expecting this to work, I'll tell you that for nothing! Sliding a rubbery, vibrating paddle over your face does not feel conducive to an effective cleanse; I have to say that I sat there feeling like a bit of a tool. With my tool. I felt that I may as...
This post on antioxidants has been in my drafts folder since 2012 and, as I have a few skincare posts coming up that talk about antioxidants, I thought that I'd bite the bullet and get it finished off. I've even brightened up the page with some product shots that...

Continuing along the whole "health and fitness" vein; some useful beauty products that I take with me to the gym. On video for your entertainment - and boy is it entertaining. Especially if you like the word "moist", or want to have the mental image of me doing naked...
