This review about Biotherm’s Biosource is one that I’ve been really excited about writing. It was thrust into my hands during my French Pharmacy experience and recommended for me over a more expensive cleanser on my list so I wasn’t about to say no. Though at first glance I totally judged the bottle by it’s design and thought: hrmph, that … Continue reading

Review: Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics
It’s not often that a brand gifts me something to trial that I’m so over the moon about that I feel like I need to shout about it, but when that happens I feel like I need to put a huge THESE ARE MY HONEST OPINIONS disclaimer in all capital letters right at the start … Continue reading
Reviewing my French beauty buys: Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk
One of these things is not like the other, one of these things does not belong… Have you spotted the odd one out? That’s right – it’s the dry shampoo! We all know I’m fascinated with skin care – it’s one of the biggest topics on my blog, not to mention predominantly what I bought for … Continue reading
Review: Environ AVST Cleansing Lotion, Moisturising Toner & Moisturiser
Ever since I went on that oh-so-fabulous beauty shopping session in Paris my daily skincare routine has featured pretty much only the products bought on that trip. As lovely as it’s been (trust me, it’s been divine! I can’t wait to write all the reviews for you.), I recently had the opportunity to try out Environ’s … Continue reading

So when I met some of the team behind Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics at the Professional Beauty Show and … Continue reading
Beauty shopping in Paris
Many articles have been written about France’s iconic skincare and beauty scene, many popular skincare brands here in the UK are French exports, beauty columnists are always writing about French products, and if you type ‘French beauty buys’ into Google all the top results are articles listing the most popular cult/must have products. So when Jeff and I visited Paris recently, … Continue reading
Review: Spiezia Made for Life Facial Cleanser
Spiezia Organics is an award winning skin care brand, and I met some of the team behind the Cornish company (their products are actually manufactured near Truro) at the Professional Beauty Show with my mate Mitra a few weeks ago. I hadn’t heard of Spiezia before, but she’d actually visited their team in Cornwall several years ago. We got … Continue reading
Winter skincare routine
It’s been a while since I last wrote about my skin care routine, so I thought I’d do a post roundup of a few of the skin care products I’ve been reaching for these chilly winter days… Continue reading
Bath time is the best time
When I was a kid I hated bath time. For no real reason at all, being submerged in warm, soapy water to bathe was probably the worst, most traumatic thing I could imagine experiencing. But not anymore! Now I’m grown up and finding enough time to fill the tub and enjoy a bath is pure … Continue reading
