    Cosmetics 27 – Baume 27 & Cleanser 27 Review

    Cosmetics 27 by M.E SkinLab is a skincare range dreamed up and created by Pharmacist Michelle Evrard containing eco-certified natural ingredients that have been tried and tested extensively to ensure they do what they say on the tin! Every product in the range contains 27 key ingredients to encourage a gorgeous, glowing complexion. For the past month I’ve been using Cleanser 27 and Baume 27 and have found both little pots work brilliantly with my winter-parched skin. Cleanser 27 At a glance, the Bio- Balancing Cleansing Balm is a lot like other balm cleansers – thick and kind of waxy and emulsifying once water is added. The difference with this…

    Cheap Thrills!: MUA Pro-Base Conceal and Brighten Kit in Porcelain-Beige

    Whilst MUA seems to be a blogger favourite, the Pro-Base Conceal and Brighten Kit is actually my first product from this cheap and cheerful brand. Featuring 3 products in 1 palette, the kit includes two concealer shades and one highlighter, designed to be mixed together to create your perfect shade! This is a pretty nifty idea because we all know what a rigmarole it can be to find a perfect match when it comes to concealers and nobody wants to end up drawing attention to the bits they’re trying to hide because the shade’s too light or dark, too orange or too muddy! The kit is oil free and pretty generously pigmented,…

    Treat Your Home to a Barker and Stonehouse Carpet!

    Though wooden floors have become a very popular choice in recent years, some homes just don’t look right without a carpet. And regardless of whether they are right for the decor or not, there is nothing quite as cosy as stepping out of bed into a soft, luxurious carpet on a cold winter’s morning. That said, if you are going to opt for carpet rather than a polished wooden or stone floor then it’s important to have good quality carpet that is well made and will withstand the general wear and tear that’s inevitable in a busy family home. Barker and Stonehouse have been making quality carpets for more than…

    WEIGHT a Minute and Read This.

     I come from a family of foodies – my mum is a brilliant cook and I grew up on a diet of amazing, rich, Australian/ British food. We were the kind of family that wouldn’t compromise on flavour in favour of a lower calorie count but also didn’t have a plethora of snack foods lining our cupboards. Dinner time was a pretty important event in our house and I rarely left anything on my plate! When I’d just turned 20, I had a pretty emotional episode involving an ex boyfriend and some pretty intense bullying that escalated to the point that I felt forced to move away from the safe…

    Bobbi Brown Face Base Review

    Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier are my top two luxury department store brands which I can rarely afford to indulge in, so when the opportunity arose for me to purchase this much lusted after Bobbi Brown Face Base I very much went for it. I owned Bobbi Brown Face Base years ago in Australia when I was in my early twenties and a bit oilier than I am now and found it a little two heavy then for my face (and the Queensland climate). But now that I’m knocking on the door of the big 28 and living through moisture-sapping English winters I will take whatever extra moisture I can…
