Wrinkles aren’t something I’m combating quite yet, but I’ve only got one face and like to start good habits early. This is why I regularly use eye creams, hoping that I’ll be able to keep that area hydrated, healthy, and looking good for much longer than I might be able to do otherwise. While I … Continue reading

Reviewing my French beauty buys: Caudalíe Hand and Nail Cream
It’s been a few months now since I went beauty shopping in Paris, and during that time I’ve travelled elsewhere, picked up new beauty products, tried them out, and written some blog posts. However, I haven’t yet reviewed everything from that Parisian haul, and because I’ve been loving it so much lately today I want to … Continue reading
Reviewing my USA beauty buys: pharmacy buys
When I was in the USA I did some (we all know that’s an understatement…) beauty shopping (you can read about that here!), and as part of that I found myself at CVS pharmacy. Here’s what I bought at the pharmacy, and what I think of each product… Continue reading
Review: Fragonard Bleu Riviera Eau de Toilette
A while back I travelled to Cannes for work, and while I was there I (understandably) fell in love with the coastline and views. I mean, how could I not?

Get Ready to GLOW with Caroline Hirons and Amanda Bell at Pixi on 11 June 2015
As an avid reader of Caroline Hirons’ blog I’d heard lots about the Pixi Glow Tonic, and as someone with acneic skin I was pretty keen to try this toner with 5% glycolic acid, aloe vera and ginseng. So when she blogged that she would be at Pixi’s Get Ready to GLOW event, I decided to pop by … Continue reading
Reviewing my French beauty buys: Caudalíe Purifying Mask
OK, so, I have a bit of a confession to make: as much as I love skin care and beauty, face masks have never really been ‘my thing’. I’ve tried a few that I really like, but I never used them often – just here & there when I had a particular skin concern to … Continue reading
