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.

I love having the odd pamper evening and after

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!

I would do pinch and a punch and all that crap but I’ll leave it for my tweets where you can unfollow me without it costing me ad revenue.

BUT, seeing as it IS the first day of the final month of the year

Going dotty for China Glaze Whirled Away!

Sometimes, things are worth putting in a little bit of effort to get a great result.  I stalked Mr. L online for about 9 months, and 12 years later – we’re still together… but despite this, trust me when I say that

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
