I harped on about 'water in a can' not so long ago - these facial spritzes that are either just mineral water, or just extremely expensive normal water with a few added drops of essential oil. There's nothing particularly wrong with the 'water-in-a-can', per se, but...
1) FeelUnique have some quite amazing reductions going on in their sale, and I just had an email newsletter to say that there's an extra 10% off over the bank holiday weekend, using the code PLUS10. Bravo! My super-duper recommendations, with the biggest savings, are...
I've never been a huge advocate of toners; most that I tried in my teens and early twenties left my face so dry and stripped that my skin would be completely knocked out of balance. I think that there was a real trend, then especially, for "cleanser and toner duos";...
Some lovely, summery skincare bits and pieces that I've been trying. I've probably harped on about the MD Formulations Moisture Defense (right of photo) quite enough by now, but just to recap: weightless skin hydration with a load of antioxidants packed in. Perfect...
Sorry, I was late with the video and I'm even later with this post! It's quite a mish-mash, this favourites video; jewellery, sunscreens, a pair of ballet pumps... You can read more about the wonderful lightweight sunscreens in last week's post here and I'll be doing...
Sunscreen formulas have been getting progressively lighter and more comfortable to wear. It's true that some of the higher factor versions do still leave a bit of a white cast on the skin, but most are sheer and fast to disappear after application. The four sunscreens...
This post on antioxidants has been in my drafts folder since 2012 and, as I have a few skincare posts coming up that talk about antioxidants, I thought that I'd bite the bullet and get it finished off. I've even brightened up the page with some product shots that...
This routine takes things right back to the skincare basics. For many of you, it may be slightly too obvious, a bit "common sense-y" and for that I'm sorry, but I just felt that I wanted to get some simple skincare steps recorded on video. The importance of proper...
FeelUnique have a good sale going on. Sometimes beauty sales consist only of obscure products that nobody in their right mind ever wanted, along with lime green eyeshadows and squashed perfume box-sets. Not so, here - there are reductions right the way across the...
Many people consider facial sprays or "spritzes" to be a total waste of time; I very much enjoy using them. Perhaps because I spend a lot of time at my desk, where any distraction, however brief, is a joyous one. Stopping to spray my face with something lovely can...
Photographic makeup can be really, really hard on your skin; for a start, it's usually more makeup than you'd ever wear in normal life, but it's also reapplied and touched up and blended in. All of this rubbing and pulling and poking at the skin takes its toll after...
The sky was so blue the other day that I felt moved to collect together lots of blue beauty products and take photos of them. This might seem like a horrendous waste of time, but I had a pressing deadline and when I have a deadline I will do almost anything other than...
