Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser

One of the most annoying things in beauty is waiting for your body moisturiser to dry. When I’m getting ready in the morning I want to stay in bed for as long as possible, get ready and out the door so I don’t really have a lot of time to wait about. Nivea have recently

Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector


The BB cream phase sweeping the nation seemed to start with this one by Garnier despite BB creams being a big thing in Asia and originating from there. I generally dislike the Garnier brand as everything is overly fragranced, from hair dye to face creams and I dislike that they DO test on animals. After almost a year of hype I figured I would pick this up, after using quite

Shiseido Expert Sun Aging Protection SPF30




I thought I'd keep the reviews of the SPF's as user-friendly as possible - i.e. not let the brands overwhelm with the science and marketing blurb and just give the details (I think) you need.

 First up is Shiseido's Expert Sun Aging Protection Cream. 

Available in two strengths:

Halloween Nails - Scary Scene


Not my best nails but I promised Halloween related things and Halloween nail art is fun to do! 

If only I could have got my tree silhouette right then it would have looked really good I think. But sadly one looks like a palm tree and the other looks like a Texas cactus scene! I think the problem was

Quickie Pamper Night


The other night I decided to have a bit of a pamper night. I was          planning to have a shower anyway so decided to first apply a face mask and also use some of my favourite products.

NYX Lip Gloss in Doll Pink, Ballerina Pink & Whipped



From L-R: Doll Pink, Ballerina Pink & Whipped

I’m love the NYX Round Lip Glosses, they’re fairly pigmented, non-sticky (can’t abide sticky glosses), pleasant smelling and affordable!  My only criticism is that they’re not particularly long-lasting… but most non-

Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate and Lemon Verbena Body Wash



I’m not necessarily one for putting much stock into my body wash, I’ll use nearly anything. But you might remember my Burts Bees Body Wash review: “I Want To Love You But You Smell So Bad” so receiving this body wash from Dove was a MIRACLE! It smells light and fruity and

China Glaze It’s a Trap-eze! NOTD


So, it’s the first of December…  Duhn, duhn, DUHN!

Going dotty for China Glaze Whirled Away!

Tom Ford Santal Blush & Jasmin Rouge

Whilst trawling through the archives, I found a post that had never been published – I think it’s because I published the video on Basenotes fragrance website instead! Anyway, here it is now. A video review of Tom Ford’s Santal Blush and Jasmin Rouge, both from the Private Blend collection.

Fragrance Review: Dior Oud Ispahan



This woody, mysterious fragrance is my latest beauty obsession. I wear it constantly. It combines a heady, almost exotic rose (not sweet or English-garden-y in the slightest) with really quite powerful sandalwood and a top note of Labdanum Absolute, which comes from the rubber of the Mediterranean Cistus Shrub.

Diptyque Philosykos



You know I love my jaunts around generic beauty departments, but sometimes nothing beats the experience encountered at a brands own store. Cue Diptyque; a small but perfectly formed hidden gem (Brook Street in London is my local), laden high with their signature bottled up

Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush

There is nothing like being told something is hard to find to make you want it more! The Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush in the red/orange Soft Cardinal shade apparently takes a bit of tracking down. And, I can quite see why.It’s a very lush shade that looks intense
