    Sk:n Exfoliating Cleanser

    When it comes to my skincare routine, exfoliating is probably my favourite step. There’s just nothing quite like the feeling of sloughing away dead skin and prepping it to be smooth and ready to really absorb whatever serum/oil/moisturiser I’m currently obsessing over. Sk:n Clinics has cleverly combined cleansing and exfoliating to create one simple product to eliminate the need for two separate products. The exfoliating cleanser is deceptively smooth and creamy – at first glance it just looks like an innocent rich cleanser. In reality though, the cleanser sneakily exfoliates as you cleanse, thanks to the addition of two of my fave skincare ingredients- Glycolic acid and glycerine. If you’re…

    Limited Edition Cucumber Wax at Ministry of Waxing

    Before I set off on my Sardinian beach holiday at the beginning of the month, I made my way to Ministry of Waxing’s Islington salon to meet the new wax on the block- cucumber! After my previous Ministry of Waxing experience, I knew to expect a great level of customer service and professionalism and I certainly wasn’t left disappointed this second time around. I was there for a pre-holiday high bikini wax using the new cucumber wax which has been designed with sensitivity in mind, so perfect when it comes to your nether regions. A hard wax, the cucumber formula is enriched with calming and soothing aloe vera and chamomile…

    Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil Not Suitable for Pregnant Women?

    So I have been coveting a little blue bottle of Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil since its release and today I finally have the pleasure of owning a bottle of this ludicrously priced yet much loved night time treatment. As I gleefully unwrapped it this morning, one of the first things I noticed was that the pretty dropper bottle comes complete with a very bold warning: Not for use during pregnancy. At first this was a bit of a wtf moment – is the secret ingredient in this an intricate cocktail of booze, fags and sashimi or something else we’re warned about consuming whilst with child? It sort of…
