I recently tried out a selection of products from a British health and beauty brand Proto-col – I admit it was a bit random…one of those brands I wouldn’t have come across without being approached by a PR, a brand I would be quite skeptical about had I just happened to stumble across them because […]

Simply Glamorous Book by Gary Cockerill Review
It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a make up book, even though I collect them, there haven’t been many new ones that have caught my eye of late. Many make up books are repetitive I find, and cover points for the beginner who know nothing about make up. Some books are creative and gorgeous […]
Christmas Feet! Scholl Velvet Smooth Foot File Review
Is it weird to get someone presents for their feet for Christmas? Well, probably if its the secret santa at work. But if it’s someone you know who could do with some TLC – then hell yes! I would’ve loved a foot file as a gift a few years ago! The thing is, feet are […]

It’s not too late right now if you need to order some Christmas presents online! So if you are stuck, may I suggest some Molton Brown for the person in your life who can appreciate genuinely nice smelling body and home products? When I was younger I was all about the Vanilla candles, but the […]
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation Flawless Foundation Review
You know I am a full on foundation junkie, right? I love testing out new bases even though I have a few favourites that tI always turn back to. This Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation has been talked about quite positively in blogging circles so I was really keen to try it out. This is my […]
Code FFL Mascara Lash Plumper Review
The best lash primer or base that was ever ever ever ever ever invented, was by Shiseido. It was a weird greyish colour, it didn’t look like it should work on my forever floppy lashes BUT IT DID. And naturally, Shiseido decided to reformulate it into something average. Sadness. But I still try new last […]
Billion Dollar Brows The Brow Buddy Kit & Universal Brow Pencil Review
I have only in recently times got in to doing my brows properly, because I’ve had fairly decent brows in terms of natural shape and density (so to speak) I have been lazy – but there’s no doubt I could definitely improve upon them. So I have started to do filling on sparse spots and […]

Aloha. Done your Christmas shopping yet? All of mine is done, and wrapped (with a few to arrive in the post!). I do enjoy it! But if you haven’t done yours yet, here are some suggestions if you want something beauty related! For the face Dermalogica, a much favourited skincare brand has a nice choice […]
B.Matte Red Lip Line Up – Alexa, Suki, Dita, Isabella – Swatches and Review
I recently got this little selection box in the post and I was like Ooooooohhhh, mattes. Then, Oooohhhhh Reds. See I am not a red girl. My bold lip is all about the hot pink. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t love to play with reds, and am always on the hunt for the […]
This Works Calm Hug Sleep Balm Christmas Baubles!
Christmas beauty crackers and baubles have really taken off with various brands offering a great selection at affordable prices. It’s a nice way to give a good quality present (I like the Balance Me and Aromatherapy Associates baubles also) from brands that can usually cost a bit more at full size. This Works in another […]
Charlotte Tilbury Christmas Gifting Ideas 2015!
A week ago I went along to an event to see Charlotte Tilbury’s Christmas offerings and meet the lady herself. She was every bit as glamorous, inspiring and lovely as I had imagined. Something you may have picked up on if you watch her You Tube channel is how passionate she is about her […]
Oskia London Skin Smoothing Massage Candle Rose de Mai Review
As a lover of beautiful rose scents (and they have to be nice ones, not overly powdery or synthetic types) I was expecting big things from this Rose de Mai Massage Candle from Oskia – and I wasn’t disappointed. Oskia in brief is a British brand with some really lovely, natural or naturally derived products. […]
Introducing The Cuticura Sensitive Range
Having two small babies means that I am constantly being attacked by germy hands. That means that wipes are essential as are anti-bacs for emergency cleaning (although it is not a replacment for hand washing!). I have a ton of Bath and Body works hand sanitisers which smell lovely but I don’t like to use […]
Sure Compressed Review!
My favourite deodorant is Sure Maximum Protection which is a cream, but I was recently sent a Sure Compressed deodorant – the clever thing about this is that it’s a small travel size but it releases less air, so it actually has as much as a large can! Honestly, I haven’t used a spray deodorant […]
