You know, although I need a Beauty Box subscription like a hole in the head, I still get it anyway. I’ve tried others and found that Look Fantastic’s Beauty Box is generally my favourite. This isn’t an ad, I buy and pay for this myself. I have a rolling subscription for £15 per box plus…

My Fast Face – Express Make-up
We’ve all been there. You roll out of bed, rub the sleep from your eyes and climb into your smartest work leggings. With no meetings in your diary you might brush your teeth and/or hair but as far as personal grooming goes, that’s going to be it today…Until your manager/friend/parent etc calls and says the…
New Year, New Empties
Greetings all! It’s certainly been a while since I posted. I actually hummed and hah’d about whether I should let the blog go altogether but when push came to shove (or the email came in from WordPress about renewing my domain name) I couldn’t quite let it go. During lockdown I’ve been getting a bit…
Clarins – The Signature Facial @ House of Fraser
There are aspects of blogging I really love and being invited to try a Clarins Signature Facial is absolutely one of them. My very first facial was a Clarins one but that was a very, very long time ago, so I jumped at the chance to experience it again. I was delighted to meet Emma…
The Empties
Do you know, I think this might actually be my first empties post? I was inspired to do one after this by my blogger pal A Life of Style. Anyway, firstly I’ve noticed that this is quite Clarins heavy. I apologize for that but these products are ones that I used to the very end….
Inika – The Next Big Makeup Brand
Have you heard of Inika yet? You probably will soon. For the very least the brand has been getting some pretty cool endorsements, not least by onscreen beauty Holly Willoughby. Her makeup artist has been using Inika for the presenter’s appearances on Dancing On Ice and at the Brits. I’ve just been introduced to…
I heart Pixi Beauty
I really, really do. Pixi by Petra is exactly the kind of brand that has the very product I needed before I even realised I needed it. Even better, I get to meet about once a year with Pixi’s make-up artist Amanda Bell. Apart from being just about the nicest person you’ll ever meet, you…
Benefit Badgal Bang – My Review
My review of Benefit Badgal Bang Mascara
My Don’t Buy List
The Don’t Buy List OK first things first, this isn’t me holding a grudge against anyone. As a blogger and media professional I know I’m incredibly lucky to be sent a lot of free stuff. But just because it’s free, doesn’t make it good. Of course others will have used these products and loved them,…
New beauty favourite – Hempz
A package of rather unprepossessing stuff dropped through my door the other day. Hempz has been around for 20 years but it’s mostly an American brand. It won’t surprise you that these are beauty products created from hemp seed oil. And no, you will not enjoy yourself if you roll this stuff up and smoke…
