    Magicstripes Lifting Collagen Mask

    I’ve reviewed the Magicstripes eye strips recently and now I’ve had the opportunity to try another one of a kind beauty innovation from the brand – the Lifting Collagen Mask.  As you can see, this is a very unique face mask! The Magicstripes Lifting Collagen Mask is a cloth ‘hydrogel’ mask that you wear on your jaw like a sling (as you would if you had somehow broken your chin) so it can get to work targeting the jawline. The mask is infused with a cocktail of collagen, caffeine, Vitamins C and E, Macadamia Nut Oil and water and aims to define the facial contours, lift and streamline the area…

    Fresh Beauty in London + Wishlist

    Fresh is such a covetable beauty brand and for very good reason! For years I’ve been so keen to get my hands on one of the iconic original lip balms but didn’t want to pay through the nose to have one shipped from the U.S. You can imagine my delight then when I came across a blog post detailing the fact that a Fresh store had opened right here in London, meaning all I had to do was jump on the underground and make my way to Baker Street to finally call one of these luscious lip balms my own! Located on Marlybone High Street, the Fresh store is small…

    Roger & Gallet Hand & Nail Balms

    My oh my, these little hand and nail balms from renowned French brand Roger & Gallet are nothing short of scrummy. I have the two new scents – Bienfaits and Fleur de Figuer and they are both bursting with delicious spring-perfect fragrance. They really couldn’t have come at a better time as I’m off the falsies and growing my natural nails again (they’re actually at record length!) so I welcome all the extra nourishment my hands and nails can get right now. I like that these are called hand and nail balms rather than creams- there’s just something a little more decadent about a ‘balm’ isn’t there?  The formula is…

    What’s on my Face – BareMinerals Edition

    I am utterly obsessed with BareMinerals’ face base game changer Complexion Rescue and rather fond of other bits and pieces by the iconic brand. The BareMinerals Flawless Definition Mascara and Marvellous Moxie Lipglosses are other firm favourites and I’ve recently gotten my hands on a blush and concealer so I thought I’d make up my face to create a very natural BareMinerals look.  What’s on my face then? Have I mentioned that Complexion Rescue is my favourite bit of make up at the moment? Well here it is, in all its glory in shade Buttercream. Smooth, dewy and deliciously light. I love it. Have I said that already? More about…

    Sjal Bio-Regeneratif Serum Review

    I’ve been lucky enough to try some products from Sjal before but their latest skincare offering could easily be described as the mother of all serums. Designed for all skin types, the Bio-Regeneratif Serum focuses on cellular regeneration and features targeted peptide complexes to lift the skin and smooth wrinkles. Serums are everywhere at the moment and they’re probably one of my favourite steps in my skincare routine, but what exactly sets the Sjal serum apart from the other anti aging and lifting serums on the market today? Well, for a start the Bio-Regeneratif Serum is packed full of gemstones and minerals – a blend that Sjal has become renowned…

    Willow Organic Beauty- a Brand you need to know about

    As a skincare obsessive and bath time enthusiast, I’m always glad to discover a brand that pretty much nails both of these areas. Willow Organic Beauty is a British brand specializing in, you guessed it, organic beauty and from what I’ve tried from them so far, they seem to be masters at creating natural, effective and above all beautiful products to cleanse, hydrate and pamper to perfection.  I was so excited to try two pieces from Willow Organic and thought I’d better get a move on in photographing them before I use them all up. That would just be awkward. First up, the Willow Organic Beauty Pink Himalayan Body Scrub*, part…
