    MBotanicals Rejuvenating Facial Elixir

    Products that combine natural ingredients with a touch of luxury are right up my street and the Rejuvenating Facial Elixir from London brand MBotanicals is no exception. Brimming with gorgeous skin loving oils including Prickly Pear, amino acid rich Blackseed, Rosehip and Watermelon Seed, the Elixir was designed to nourish and protect skin exposed to the pollutants and free radicals that come with living in the city.  The prickly pear based facial oil is beautifully multifunctional and can be used as it is, under your moisturizer for an extra boost or as a luxurious night treatment. I’ve experimented with the Elixir in a few ways, in the methods mentioned above…

    Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Foundation Review

    I know, I know, it’s another Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Foundation Review! This foundation has been so hyped among Bloggers that I pretty much had to try it though, right? First things first; I have purposely avoided trying Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Foundation for one simple reason: I was terrified I was going to like it and that would only eventuate in me shelling out to purchase it. Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Foundation Review The Chanel Vitalumière Aqua is one of those foundations that’s both loved and loathed- for some the coverage is too light and watery and it’s been reported that the formula is prone to sticking to any flaky bits of…

    Korean Beauty at Boots

    The K Beauty craze has been steadily gaining momentum for the past few years. From features on the Ten Step Korean Beauty Routine (which I am still yet to try) popping up online and in magazines to an influx of Essences and Bubble Masks appearing in major retailers including TK Maxx and online at favourites such as Cult Beauty, we are waking up to the kitsch and kawaii world of Korean beauty buys.  Boots is the most recent retailer to pick up on the trend, which is obviously an excellent thing for curious points card customers!  Boots have stocked a range of Sheet Masks for a little while, so they’d…

    DHC Quick Film Smoother

    I have a lot of time for slightly quirky skincare products and the DHC Quick Film Smoother is no exception. I also like the no-nonsense approach DHC took to naming this product – Quick Film Smoother. It’s designed to make an instant ‘improvement’ to the look of your complexion, it creates a kind of film over the skin and it smooths wrinkles in one fell swoop. Pretty much does what it says on the tin then really. The Quick Film Smoother is a skincare and makeup product in one as it provides an immediate smoothing effect and delivers a dose of ingredients that work over time. Particularly brilliant as a…

    The Fishtail Plait Made Simple

    I love it when a fashion or hair style trend is also practical. Sometimes what is trendy is a little difficult to sustain or not really for everyday wear. However, the current trend for intricately and beautifully plaited hair is perfect for work, school or simply hanging out with friends. Once you’ve got the trick and know how to create a plait you can do it in no time. To help you get started here’s my guide to one of the hottest styles of the moment: the fishtail plait. Fishtail plait: a step by step guide Step 1: Shampoo, condition and dry your hair thoroughly. If you usually straighten it…
