It’s been a while since I had a Birchbox as I was busy using up my stash of beauty goodies, but the April box or rather Stasher Bag is worth it! Priced at £13.95 a month (including shipping), you get at least 5 beauty treats in […]
Four Fabulous Night Oils
There has always been an argument over having a day cream and a night cream (why double the expense?), but since more people are choosing a day moisturiser with a SPF, night creams and sleep treatments have become popular. Sometimes the skin can be overburdened with […]
Get The Gloss/Roccabox ~ Editor’s Pick Beauty Box
When the email announcing a collaboration between the two companies (Get The Gloss and Roccabox) landed in my inbox I wasn’t exactly excited, mainly because companies have a habit of overhyping things with click and bait headlines. I’m also not a fan of these ‘tune in […]

Black Friday ~ Beauty Offers 2019
It’s that time again, and Black Friday is later this year but these days acts as a pre-Christmas sale, and for those who haven’t done their Christmas shopping it maybe a good time to start. As most people go online rather than to the brick and […]
Revolution Conceal & Hydrate Concealer + Foundation Review
Finding the perfect concealer and foundation is the key to a good base, but they are also some of the trickiest items to buy. Revolution have come a long way from the usual selection of light, medium or dark concealer to choose from with no less […]

Revolution is well renowned for their makeup that comes in a vast array of shades to suit just about everyone, including their foundations and concealers that sold out as soon as they were launched. They recently launched a skincare range, and I was asked to try […]
Clarins Re-Charge Relaxing Sleep Mask ~ Review
If you’ve never tried a sleep mask, or have been put off because some feel a bit too heavy, then you will love this product. I tried it as soon as it came out earlier this year and fell in love with it. The new my […]
Sarah Chapman ~ Skinesis Ultimate Cleanse Review
Sarah Chapman doesn’t offer samples (I asked) which is a great shame, because if I had tried the products earlier I would have raved about them ages ago. I eventually got a travel sized Ultimate Cleanse as part of a free gift when I was buying […]

Black Friday Week Beauty Offers
It’s that time of year again, and Black Friday seems to begin earlier each year as retailers scramble to get people to part with their cash as quickly as possible. Some deals are good, but are only valid while stocks last or for a day, so […]
L’Occitane Overnight Reset Serum ~ Review
I’ve been a fan of L’Occitane En Provence for many years, and visiting their shops is always fun, as they have beautiful displays and there’s something for everyone (and I try all the hand creams!). I was intrigued to sample the Overnight Reset Serum, because let’s […]
Pink Parcel ~ August Review
Summer beauty boxes can be a bit of a let down as they tend to be filled with self-tan products and body lotions, so I was pleasantly surprised with this month’s Pink Parcel. If you’ve not heard of Pink Parcel it’s a monthly subscription box that […]

April Beauty News and Deals
It’s springtime, and Easter sadly didn’t have too many deals that tempted me, so I’m keeping an eye out for some good deals and new products this month. Here are some of the ones that I have found so far that I feel are worth taking […]
REN Rosa Centifolia Cleansing Gel
Most readers will know by know I’m meticulous about cleansing, and I demand a lot from my cleansers. I’ve used a few REN items and I’ve liked them, but none have wowed me enough to review them, although I have a friend who is obsessed with […]
Beauty Super Spy Awards of 2017
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 […]
Clarins Super Restorative Replenishing Comfort Mask
A good face mask can work wonders on your skin, and the Clarins Super Restorative Replenishing Comfort Mask is a great quick beauty flash mask. It’s part of the Super Restorative range, which is an anti-aging range, but the mask is suitable for all skin types […]

Evolve Organic Beauty Radiance Glow Mask
I’m a bit of a chocoholic, so when I saw that the Radiance Glow Organic Mask contained raw cacao powder (rejuvenating and repairing), I was intrigued as to what it would smell like, and yes, it’s pretty much heavenly, as it smells like liquid hot chocolate. […]

Once you’ve tried one of Bloomtown Botanicals Sugar Scrubs, it’s hard to ever use anything again. For those of you that haven’t heard about Bloomtown Botanicals, they are a beauty company that produces ethical, cruelty free, palm oil free, and vegan products at affordable prices. Based […]
Great Christmas Beauty Gifts under £10
I love the build up to Christmas, and now that advent calendars have been opened, it’s time for some real gifts. To me, it’s the thought behind it more than how much it costs and while inboxes are filled with daily deals and offers, it’s not […]
Evolve Organic Beauty Skin Saviour Body Oil
During Black Friday, I got an offer from Evolve Organic Beauty and it encouraged me to try some products that hadn’t been on my radar. I’m not a fan of oils, face or body in case they leave an uncomfortable residue, so it was only when […]
Lacura Midnight Power Cream Range
Every now and then you find a great product that you aren’t looking for, and you then have the need to rush back to stock up on them in case they sell out. Well, here are two great Lacura products; Midnight Power Cream and Eye Care […]
October Beauty News And Deals
These days some beauty deals are gone within hours, so it’s hard to list offers that can expire early or get closed before the day is out. Rather than taunt people with a FOMO I’m going to focus on offers that most people are going to […]
