I’ve been writing about my skincare routine for the past couple of weeks. If you missed the first post, which was my easy-to-follow daily routine, then you can catch up here. My Skincare Routine at 43 That post also gives a bit of context when it comes to my forty-three year-old face and what I will…
Welcome to the ‘If I Could Only Buy One’ series, in which I give myself a week-long headache trying to decide on my absolute favourite beauty product from a given category. This quest has been for the best luxury cleanser. Disclaimer: Ooph, this “If I Could Only Buy One” series is a risk, isn’t it?…
As I write this, I am officially in PMT Skin Week, which is the one week in each and every month that my skin is in danger of going completely haywire. If anything is going to go wrong with my skin then it goes wrong now. Angry, bumpy jawline, weird forehead dryness, little sore patches…
I think that I’ve mentioned Beauty Pie’s Plantastic Apricot Butter Cleansing Balm before, but it more than deserves its own review post so that I can truly go to town in the rave department. (What the hell is a rave department? Imagine! Is it part of the local government offering? Does the council have a…
I’ve already featured this cleanser (in my best of the beauty launches video) but Emma Hardie’s new Moringa Light Cleansing Gel is so utterly glorious that it absolutely needs a post of its own. For posterity. And for the fact that I think I might like this cleanser as much as (if not more than) than the…
Oh, hallelujah: I thought that the glorious Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm was on a limited run, once-it’s-gone-it’s-gone, but I’ve just seen that it’s now a permanent addition to their Pro-Collagen line. (It took me four attempts to spell “hallelujah” correctly, just in case you were wondering. It’s on a par with “diarrhoea” and “manoeuvre”…
Goodness I’m shattered. I mean really, really shattered. I’m not about to go into a huge whinge about why I’m so shattered, I just wanted to set the tone. Because the beauty products I’m about to tell you about have all had quite a dramatic effect on my mood in the last few weeks, making…
I mentioned the (really quite excellent) cleanser from this new range in my January Favourites video, but the entire Advanced Skincare Collection from The White Company deserves a proper shout-out here on the website. It’s very good indeed. In true “White Company” style, the range is minimalist and clean-looking, luxury but fuss-free. I remember saving up for my…
I promised I’d tip you all off as soon as Caroline Hirons’ Pixi Double Cleanse hit the shelves: and then promptly forgot. I’m so sorry. But actually, I think that it kept selling out for the first week or so anyway, so you can now acquire one in a much more stately and dignified manner! No squabbling…
I’ve been really procrastinating over this skincare post: on the one hand, the Omorovicza Hydra Melting Cleanser is the most beautiful new cleanser I’ve tried in ages – and I try a lot of cleansers. On the other hand, this is a cleanser that costs £65. (Update: see bottom of page.) And even though it’s a cleanser that…
With all the various stresses of the past few weeks (I won’t bore you with the details, but the Dexter Dog catastrophe has been only one of many worries!) my beauty routine has gone out of the window. I’ve been using whatever has been next to my sink, which has mostly been the three products…
Seriously: check me out in my fluffy spa robe! Do I not look the absolute shizzle? I’m pleased as punch with myself! Hahaha… I had a lovely time at Champneys Tring the other week, filming some videos that I had wanted to do for ages on at-home spa treatments. This is the first video and (with the…
I’ve given this product a pretty through going-over now, and I can categorically say that I love it. I say ‘product’, but really it’s ‘products’ plural, because the Amazing Face Cleansing System consists of a cleansing balm, a tub of exfoliating rosehip seeds and a dual action buff and polish cleansing cloth. There’s quite a…
