For the last few months, most of the world has been on lockdown in an attempt to curb the spread of Covid-19, and that has meant most of us have spent more time at home. It gave me a chance to try out some samples that […]
One of the best sleep creams on the market is The Body Shop Oils of Life Sleeping Cream, which simply sinks into the skin and makes the skin feel pillow soft immediately and also when you wake up. Sleep creams have recently become popular as a […]
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 […]
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 […]
Shisiedo is one of the largest skincare houses in the cosmetics industry, and their skincare once tried is never forgotten. One of their latest products is the Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate, a bit of a mouthful but it’s more than a serum and is a powerful skin […]
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 […]
Every now and then a beauty gem strays across your path when you least expect it, and you think ‘wow!’ when it does what it says on the jar. The Omoroviciza Deep Cleansing Mask is one if those gems. Now when I read it contained clay, […]
When beauty boxes launch a limited edition collection, you can be forgiven for being skeptical; is it really a limited edition or is it an advertising ploy, and are they overpricing it to make a quick buck? While Glossybox isn’t my favorite beauty subscription box (no […]
Drunk Elephant, a skincare company based in the USA is being launched in the UK on 3 October, so what is the fuss and buzz all about? The company was founded by Tiffany Masterson in 2012, when she found she was reacting to various products. She decided to […]
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 […]
When I first came across the REN Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial, I was skpetical to say the least, because the natural thing to wonder is how can you have a facial in a minute? I’ve used the Wake Wonderful Night Time Facial before which worked, […]
f you haven’t heard of Omorovicza, it’s a relatively new Hungarian premium brand skincare house that has quickly become renowned for it’s innovative and luxurious products. You can often tell how good a skincare house is by their cleanser, and the Omorovicza Cleansing Foam is a […]
Putting together a beauty kit when you‘re away from home can be challenging because you need to travel light, have products that are multipurpose, and most importantly you can trust to work. I used to work away from home at least once a week, and so […]
I love overnight masks, mainly because you can leave it on and let the mask hopefully do a bit of magic while you’re asleep. When I saw the STARSKIN 7 Second Overnight Mask, I was intrigued to see how it worked. It comes in a pot […]
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 […]
Lacura (Aldi) have brought out another limited edition skincare range, and the Cellsation range is aimed at mature skins, but as I don’t believe in ageism, it’s suited more to dry and fragile skins. It contains B5 which nourishes the skin and helps stimulate cell renewal, […]
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. […]
Finding genuinely natural products that work effectively and that don’t cost the earth isn’t easy, and so I was intrigued to try out Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm that is 100% natural and preservative free, to see how it compared to other products on the market. It’s a […]
With so many beauty boxes around these days, the bar has become higher—especially for curated collections. The brands selected for the Red Skincare Edit are good and safe choices for those seeking a new skincare regimen, however, it fails in a couple of areas in my […]
Balm Balm is a company that produces skincare products that are 100% organic—great for those looking for natural, ethical, or ecological products. I decided to try the frankincense deep cleansing balm, which is sold in 30 ml (£9) and 60 ml (£16.50) jars. Among the other […]

I had high expectations of these products and I was not disappointed. I hope Aldi decides to keep these products in stock, as it would be a shame to have them as a one off special buy. Customers want consistency, and the security to know they […]

[yasr_overall_rating] The Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask is one of my favorite products, and will soon be known as the Dynamic Resurfacing Gel Mask, as Elemis are currently rebranding its look and some of the names of their products. This is a quick acting mask that can […]
