    5 Fragrances to Wear to Bed

    Since I’ve discovered my newfound appreciation for fragrances, I’ve really been enjoying treating myself to a little spritz before bed. My post-shower routine was once all about skincare but now, while rinsing out my conditioner I find myself thinking about which fragrance I’m going to choose too. Obviously, you can wear whatever scent you like but here I’m sharing a few that make me feel comfortable and cocooned – exactly what I need to get me in the mood for sleep! E. Coudray is a brand I’d not actually heard of until it was included in an Escentual Perfume Blind Trial box (ETA Escentual no longer do the Perfume Blind Trial…

    Mother’s Day 2024 Beauty Box Round Up

    Once again we’ve got a huge range of Mother’s Day themed Beauty Boxes to choose from, in a variety of price ranges. Even if you don’t acknowledge Mother’s Day and/or you’re not looking for gifts, these boxes are usually incredible value, so a great way to try some beauty bits you otherwise wouldn’t spend on. Here’s a little round up of some favourites I’ve spotted so far. The Mother’s Day Edit – Look Fantastic This edit features 11 products from various categories including makeup, skincare, haircare and fragrance. With products from the likes of Bobbi Brown, Laneige, Floral Street, Shiseido and Rituals, I think this is a really good mix…

    Boots False Nails

    I feel like someone needs to talk about Boots brand false nails. I think they’re such a good value option for an instant manicure in a pinch and I rarely see them on social media for some reason, so thought I’d write my own review in the hopes it might encourage more people to give them a go. If, like me, you’re lacking in the nail growth department but also lack the time, money and inclination to get your nails done frequently, diy press-on and glue-on nails can be a really good shout.  I’ve been using glue-on fake nails on and off for the best part of twenty years now…

    Everlasting Brows NEW Double Sided Eyeliner Pencil

    I had been thinking about buying a new eyeliner for a few weeks (I know this is a lot of time to spend pondering something so menial) before I was gifted the Everlasting Eye-Edge Double Sided Eye Pencil from Everlasting Brows. I was after something that was easy to work with and versatile, with good staying power and decent pigment, and it just so happens that this eye pencil ticks all those boxes. Made in Italy, the eyeliner feels like it’s of very decent quality and, at a similar price point to many big-name-brand eyeliners you’ll find in Boots or Superdrug, I think it’s fantastic value too. The eye pencil…

    Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil

    A decent cleansing oil or balm really should be considered a staple in every bathroom cabinet. Whether you prefer an all natural oil that needs to be removed with a flannel or cloth or a silky balm that emulsifies and turns milky on contact with water, balms and oils are simply the best when it comes to taking off that first layer of makeup, dirt and/or SPF. The cleansing oil by affordable, no-nonsense skincare brand Simple is a really good option whether you’re a skincare enthusiast with plenty of existing products or you’re looking to try an oil cleanser for the first time. I’ve tried my fair share of cleansing…

     (post features samples) If you’re fortunate enough to be jetting off to somewhere a ittle less dreary this summer, you’re probably thinking about the beauty bits you’re going to take with you.

    B’Kate Brow Dip

     (samples) I’ve written about B’Kate brow products before (you can read that post here) and today I’m revisiting the vegan beauty brand to show you a new brow product. B’Kate Brow Dip is a pomade designed to shape, define and shade the brows and I’ve been really enjoying testing it out. First and foremost I have to say that this stuff stays put! If you live here in the UK you’ve probably noticed the rather sweaty weather we’ve been having, which has given me a great opportunity to truly test the staying power of the Brow Dip. From application at 8am through to my return home at 8:45pm, via quite…

    Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream

     Tatcha has been readily available in the UK via Space NK for a little while now but I’ve only just got around to dipping my toe into the brand via The Dewy Skin Cream. I purchased a travel size of this while I was away for a few days and had somehow managed to forget my usual moisturiser – an excellent excuse to buy and try something new, right? This little introduction to Tatcha has definitely made me keen to try more from the brand. From the beautiful packaging to the texture, scent and effects of the cream, this is one product I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase again. Here’s why.…
