    May Lindstrom – The Honey Mud Cleansing Silk

    I often write about wanting to eat beauty products but this one takes the cake. See what I did there? Food. May Lindstrom The Honey Mud Cleansing Silk is quite simply the most scrumptiously scented cleanser or mask I have ever had the pleasure of sniffing. Fact. Not only does it smell like an indulgent chocolatey-caramel pudding, but it looks like one too. You know those wobbly, calorific treats cleverly disguised as ‘yoghurts’ that you find in the dairy aisle? The Honey Mud Cleansing Silk is pretty much one of those. Except it’s packed full of ingredients designed to feed your skin rather than your belly box. The Cleansing Silk…

    L'Occitane Black Soap

    It’s not often that I feel like blogging about soap (unless it comes from Lush, obviously) but this one is a little bit different. L’Occitane Black Soap has been available for a good few months now and it’s proved to be a very popular addition to the Aromachologie range. I love balm- type products so I knew when I first saw the black soap in a L’Occitane store it would only be a matter of time before it took pride of place in my bathroom. Because I’m a bit impulsive (just a tad), I took this home without even looking inside the tin so it really was a complete surprise…

    Champneys Cracker Collection

    Christmas crackers are such a pretty way to present gifts aren’t they? You can just pop them under the tree as ready wrapped presents or add them to your Christmas table setting for an extra special touch. Over the years we’ve seen quite a few brands get on board with this festive concept but what really stood out to me with this Champneys offering is the value, quality and affordable price point. The Champneys Cracker Collection is only £10 and includes four large crackers in a pastel colour scheme, each containing a 50ml product – perfect for splitting up and using as stocking fillers or secret santa gifts or of…

    Kahina Fez Perfume and Body Serum

    I’m a mega fan of the Kahina Giving Beauty brand. I was first introduced to the natural brand via their iconic Argan Oil back in 2012 (which was actually the first oil I ever intentionally put on my face!), then I sampled Kahina Prickly Pear Seed Oil and now I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the Fez Body Serum and Fez Perfume Oil. The Body Serum was recently featured in a Vogue edit of Top 10 Body Oils and now that I’ve tried it myself, I totally get it. Fez Body Serum is a clever concoction of skin nourishing goodness with an aroma-therapeutic edge that is equal parts unusual and beautiful.  The…

    Dr PawPaw Balms

    If you grew up in Australia, it’s almost a given that you used pawpaw ointment at some point. My mum and every other mum I knew used it on our mosquito bites, knee scrapes and pretty much everything else until we grew up and found other, more fun uses for the ointment. PawPaw balm is one of those things I always had in my glovebox, first aid kit and handbag and used it for everything from a lip balm, to a cracked heels treatment and as a quick eye brow tamer. PawPaw is making quite an impression on the UK market these days too, most notably in the form of…
