My forehead, for some reason, is as dry as a bone. This happened in my last pregnancy, too, so I'm not that surprised, but it's so dry that few things can even touch it when it comes to moisturisation. Even layering a moisturising spritz (pah!) with a hydrating serum...
I suspect there'll be some sort of online meltdown on the 10th January because - brace yourselves - that's the day that Caroline Hirons' first ever skincare product will go on sale. If you are an avid Hirons follower (to be honest, I don't know of any other type -...
Well this is an unusual one: a moisturiser that feels velvety to the touch but seems to melt into fresh-feeling perfection the moment it hits the skin. And then, despite this gorgeous fresh feel, manages to keep oiliness in check as well as hydrate. What is this...
I've been using these extra-special cleansers on rotation, recently, as a bit of a winter kick-start for my skin but also as a proper "time out" sort of treat. They're not cleansers in the traditional sense, you see - you wouldn't use them to remove your makeup and...
I have a strong and long-lasting love for Lanolips. It's a high-powered lip-healer that stays put for hours and protects the skin from even the most bitter winter chills. If you've ever had cracked nipples, the bleeding sort of chapped nipples that are so painful you...
I spend a few nights a week testing out overnight masks. It doesn't take me the whole night to test them, obviously, I just slap them on (takes approximately twenty seconds) and then go to sleep. It's one of the easiest jobs in the world, unless there's a job that...
I have a rather fabulous worldwide giveaway for you today. I mentioned the gorgeous new OM Skincare in a recent Space NK post - it's a results-driven brand, using complex formulas and luxurious ingredients, but it very much embraces a "mindful" approach to skincare...
A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Paris with gorgeous French skincare brand Darphin. I've been to Paris more times than I could ever begin to count, and I think it's easy to become blasé about cities you're familiar with, no matter how beautiful...
I've very quickly fallen for Sunday Riley's Tidal Cream. It is, to summarise prematurely, a fresh-feeling moisturiser with superb brightening effects that seems to be highly effective without feeling as though it's going to burn my entire face off. So many products...
I had around eighteen seconds to put together a washbag for my little mini-trip to the Isle of Wight and I thought it might be interesting* to show you what I packed in terms of skincare. You'll notice I've included a makeup product too; that's because the skincare...
Perhaps "dupe" isn't quite the right word to use here; "alternative" is far more accurate, but it doesn't sound as good in my title! The Eye Duty Triple Remedy Gel Cream from First Aid Beauty isn't by any means a copy of Sisley's amazing Eye Contour Mask - it isn't a...
You may have noticed that moisturiser reviews have been a bit thin on the ground, recently; that's because I've been in my "testing laboratory" phase again, which is when I try my very best to stick to just one product. (Rarely do I manage more than a week or so...
