    Friction Free Shaving

    Well here’s something completely different. A subscription service dedicated to remaining fuzz-free. Who’d have thought it? Friction Free Shaving did, actually. Friction Free Shaving is a monthly subscription box program that delivers razors and replacement blades to your door, for as little as £3 a month. Here’s how it works: Select your razor (or, as the brand calls it ‘shaviour’) You can choose from three designs – *Samantha, Frankie or Faye. The razor arrives in the post, along with 4 replacement blades. I have Samantha, which has a five blade head. Frankie has a three blade head and Faye has two blades. Samantha is the most expensive razor at £7…

    Merumaya Gentle Exfoliating Toner Review

    Merumaya Gentle Exfoliating Toner Review I have a lot of love for Merumaya as a brand. Yes, the Gentle Exfoliating Toner is only the second product of theirs that I’ve tried and reviewed, but as far as the brand and ethos goes, Merumaya is pretty outstanding. The founder, Maleka and her team are so kind and engaging with their customers which is so refreshing and really makes a world of difference, so well done Merumaya! When it comes to the Gentle Exfoliating Toner I am definitely inclined to share my opinion – this is one product to get excited about. Fans of acid toners and acid toning newbies alike, prepare…

    Favourite non-foundation bases

    As much as I am both thrilled and intrigued by the plethora of foundations on the market, the truth is I don’t really wear foundation that often. I generally like my skin to look natural (except red lips, obviously) and glowing, so most of the time when I go out in public I reach for a base that offers some coverage, but isn’t quite a foundation. BB Creams, Tinted Moisturisers and pigment-blurring potions are my friends and I use them all year round. They are just nice, low maintenance alternatives to full-blown foundations and every single one that I’m about to talk about blends away easily using just fingertips, so…

    True Organic of Sweden – All You Need is Me

    I hadn’t heard of True Organic of Sweden until my sister gave me a tube of All You Need is Me for Christmas. It’s essentially a multi-tasking balm – one of those products that’s handy to just have in your handbag- and is designed to be used on or around pretty much everything. The True Organic of Sweden website says: ‘Works great on cracked and dry cuticles, heels, elbows and lips. Can be used as a nourishing scalp and hair mask. Perfect as a lip gloss. Mosquito and insect bites, poison ivy, eczema, mild sunburn, red baby bottoms and rough dry gardening hands.’  So, you can put this stuff on…
