    Fake Tan Files: Tan Organic Tanning Oil

    After reading a few reviews of Tan Organic Tanning Oil I decided to give it a go myself and can tell you straight away that I reckon it lives up to its fairly good reputation!  Even if I hadn’t read about it, I think I would have grabbed it anyway had I seen it on the shelves just because the packaging is just so gosh darn appealing. The heavy glass bottle with wooden lid is just so different to what you usually find and would look perfectly sophisticated on any dressing table. But I’m sure you’re not reading this to hear about the bottle so let’s get down to the…

    Magic Stripes – Do They Work?

    You may have seen Magic Stripes Eyelid Lifting Stripes floating about on social media- predominantly Instagram- and you’re probably wondering the answer to one simple question; do these things actually work? In a nutshell, yes they do. They do what they’re supposed to- that is lift drooping eyelids for a wider, more awake look. The Magic Stripes are little strips that are supposed to stick on to the crease of your eyelid and do all kinds of wonderful things to your appearance in an instant. They’re touted as a ‘non-surgical alternative to an eye lift’ which is a pretty bold claim really – but from looking at before and after…

    5 Reasons to Love Clarins Hand & Nail Treatment Cream

    I must admit, I don’t tend to give hand creams an awful lot of thought. They just aren’t a product I consider very often and I rarely spend money on/ get excited about stuff to slather on my hands. There is one exception to the rule though that comes in the form of the iconic product that is Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream. I first discovered this stuff in a Clarins gift with purchase years and years ago and it’s remained a firm favourite ever since. I bought a new tube just the other week and once again rediscovered its wonders so if you’re not already a devotee here…

    L'Erbolario Narciso Sublime Bath Foam & Candle

    Italian plant-based beauty brand L’Erbolario have pretty much bottled Spring with the Narciso Sublime collection. As a rule, I’m not much of a florals girl and will usually choose gourmande/ vanilla scents over anything too flowery but I must make an exception with this scent because it is a little bit gorgeous. The Narciso Sublime range is based around the fragrance of the Narcissus flower ( also known as the daffodil but Narcissus sounds so much better) – a pretty special flower really because it is known to bloom before all the other flowers. With this in mind, this is a lovely fragrance for this time of the year when…

    The Glow Getters – Top 5 Skincare Edit

    It’s no secret that I have a (slightly excessive) fascination with Skincare. Call it an obsession if you will, but moisturisers, lotions, oils, cleansers, serums, exfoliators and other potions have a special place in my heart/desk/ shower/ floor. Personally, I like to think of looking after my skin as an investment – after all I’m stuck with it for the rest of my life and now that I’m standing at the door of the big 3-0 I’m more inclined than ever to keep it looking healthy and feeling good! To share some of my favourites, I’ve put together a little edit of my top 5 skincare picks for glowing, delicious…
