Beauty knowledge, news, and reviews
Last year I discovered a few new beauty gems, but not that many (I do have very high standards). I tried lots of items and some were meh, and others were just dreadful that I used them once and had to give them away. More than […]
When my face is thoroughly cleansed I feel good, it’s a bit like having freshly washed hair, and you can tell straightaway whether a product is good or not. I decided to try the Elemis Gentle Foaming Face Wash after my disappointing experience with their latest […]
One skincare problem I always get asked about is how to clear blocked pores. The Charcoal Spa range from Lacura helps solve the problem of finding products that work and that are affordable. The range consists of a Lacura Charcoal Mud to Foam Cleanser (£5.99), Lacura […]
With Christmas and the January sales over, it’s time to look new launches and for beauty deals. Benefit and Elemis have had hyped up new launches, and more brands are approaching consumers directly via social media to find out what they like and what works. Beauty […]

Pink Parcel is a monthly lifestyle box for women that includes a monthly supply of essentials (your choice of items), along with a selection of beauty, and lifestyle items. Each box costs £12.99 including shipping, unless you are a previous subscriber where the price was fixed […]
Each year in the UK Black Friday deals start earlier with offers that last up to 10 days. As a result some websites have gone down or links don’t work, offers have sold out, and codes don’t work. Some companies have brought their sales forward and […]
I’ll be doing a separate Black Friday deals post next week (November 24th) when (hopefully some great ones) limited beauty deals will be released, but in the meantime companies have been releasing some good deals to tempt buyers. Jane Alexander and I have been having fun […]
