    HealGel Face Review

    Every once in a while a revolutionary skincare product comes along that has Beauty Editors all over the country impressed. HealGel Face is one of these products and while I’m not a Beauty Editor, I am a Blogger who has a very distinct advantage in that when I am provided with a product for review, I’m under no obligation to sing its praises. In this instance though, HealGel Face has proved itself more than worthy. HealGel Face* The first thing that grabbed me about HealGel is the story behind the brand. A gel known simply as ‘Heal’ was developed by late dermatological biochemist Martin Kelly and a team of leading…

    Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara – More Drama than it’s Worth?

    I purchased the Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara about a month ago now but I’ve been wanting to rant about it from the moment I first swiped it over my brows. Now, ‘mascara’ for eyebrows is not exactly a new invention but I think the marketing for this product was particularly effective as many people have gone a bit crazy over it. I was one of them and while I won’t say it’s a complete waste of £4.99 I will say that it comes pretty close. I bought the Brow Drama in shade ‘Dark Brown’ and found that while the formula is nice, the shade isn’t really what you would…

    Jurlique Rose Valentine’s Day Goodies

    It’s no secret that Jurlique are a beautiful brand and the rose range is probably my favourite collection. I recently received the Rose Love Balm*, Rosewater Balancing Mist* and the Rose Hand Cream* and can happily report that all three products smell and feel nothing short of scrumptious. Jurlique Rose Love Balm I’ve had this little pot of multi-tasking goodness before and it really is one of those handbag friendly, do everything products that deserves a little hype. Especially good for this time of year, the balm soothes and moisturises lips, cuticles and other dry bits that need some extra love and care. The Rose Love Balm contains olive oil,…

    Seascape Sleep Oil

    I’m a big advocate of natural sleep aids. Having struggled with various nocturnal issues over the years, anything that helps me drift off is more than welcome on my bed side table. Whilst I love the idea of soaking in a lavender oil filled bath, cutting out caffeine after 3pm and winding down properly, it just isn’t going to happen so I’ve grown quite fond of ‘quick fix’ potions to put me in the right state of mind for nap time. The Seascape Soothe Sleep Oil is the latest addition to my bedside and I’m loving the fact it’s packed with essential oils such as lavender, grape seed, bitter orange…

    Herbalife Formula 1 Shake Review

    As it’s the beginning of the year, I’ve been doing the typical, predictable, completely clichéd ‘new year, new me!’ thing and thus far it’s actually been going ok! I’m making a (somewhat) conscious effort to stop ingesting so much junk and make a few healthier choices. I’ve bought a liquid iron supplement to combat my persistent fatigue and I even now own a pair of running shoes. That’s right. running shoes. Another addition to my collection of healthy bits and pieces is this stuff – Herbalife Formula 1 Healthy Meal Shake*. This is a ‘weight management’ powder shake mix that can be used for weight loss and also just to add some extra…
