Diptyque Skincare: My Pick of the Bunch

It's a big old tick in the beauty book for Diptyque's Multi-Use Exfoliating Clay or, said in French, which is far more pleasing, Argile de Gommage. I was fully prepared to write off Diptyque's new skincare line as a little...how would you put it? Style over substance?...

"FOTD" Detox Glow

"FOTD" Detox Glow

I haven't started the January 'detox' (involves drinking less and eating less, nothing particularly difficult about it!) but I wanted to show you a picture of my face pre-Christmas. Glowy, healthy, radiant... I can assure you that this effect was mostly achieved with...

Mama Mio Omega Wonder-Full Balm

Mama Mio Omega Wonder-Full Balm

 OK, I really like this stuff. I have been on a balm-testing mission over the last year or so (it's an ongoing thing!) and the Mama Mio Omega Wonder-Full Balm is one of the best yet. By balms, I'm not referring to 'lip' balms but treatments that are more multipurpose,...
