One of my first (and best) discoveries as a beauty blogger wasn't a single pot of magical cream, or a little tube of face-changing foundation. I wasn't hooked in by just one eye gel, or bowled-over by a lone cleanser - I was far greedier than that. I fell in love,...
I reviewed Burberry's Fresh Glow BB Cream two years ago as part of a bigger post on Burberry foundations, but I think that it deserves its own page. So many BB/CC/DD creams have a claggy, SPF-heavy kind of feel and it's a real treat to find one that's fresh textured...
Apparently, 30% of women in the UK believe that their skincare stops working - or stops working as effectively - over time. I can see where this idea comes from - it's actually very difficult to see results on your own face when you're glancing at it in the mirror...
I do enjoy it when a product does exactly what it says on the tin. Although I must admit that I often fail to look at the tin (tube/bottle/pot, delete as applicable) before I start, which gets me into all sorts of beauty scrapes. I once fake-tanned my face instead of...
Some of my summer beauty essentials for you here, all neatly packaged into one (relatively) concise video. Note that I use the word "essential" very loosely; perhaps the only real summer beauty essential is sunscreen, followed by a good, robust cleanser to get it off...
Slightly misleading title, depending on how you take it; My Riveting Experiment is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a stupid little project I've had on the go this week regarding weather apps. I haven't been pinning together sheets of metal with actual rivets, nor have...
There's rather a summery theme to this month's beauty favourites; it feels a little early in the year to be cracking out the sunscreens and the beachy scents but we've had a run of hot days and so I've been in all-out floaty dress and flip-flop mode. Talking of beachy...
A surprise entry into my "favourite SPFs" category: the new Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30 from Elemis. I'm a bit dithery about the original Marine Cream; I like the silky, fast-absorbing feel, but at the same time it doesn't have quite the moisturising "oomph" that...
Fans of La Roche-Posay's Effaclar Duo rejoice: they have released a new version of their highly effective spot treatment, this time with an added SPF. Effaclar Duo+ SPF30 has the same basic formula as the original, helping to minimise the size and appearance of spots...
The whole issue of "safety" when it comes to certain skincare ingredients during pregnancy is a touchy one and experts seem to have quite divided opinions on it, which doesn't help when you're looking for solid information on something at an already very confusing and...
Please note that I am a founder of the Colab Dry Shampoo brand - this is not a paid post. I said I'd keep you updated with the new Colab Dry Shampoo launch and here it is: Paradise. I honestly don't know where to start with this post - I'm really...
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...
