When summer hits, my skin decides it wants to play ball. Since this stifling heatwave struck a couple of months ago, I haven’t really had a break out, but that’s not to say that my beauty regime has been issue free. I’ve had sunburn which has resulted in hyper-sensitive dry skin. My lips are really reactive to the sun and …
How to compile the ultimate summer fragrance wardrobe
It is very important to know that I am a serious perfume/fragrance collector. I hoard fragrance. For me, there is no such thing as one signature scent. A handful that should evoke memories of you when smelled by an ex? Sure! But under no circumstance should you be able to pick out one scent. With that being said, if all …
The most underrated beauty products ever
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been talking to anyone and everyone about what they consider to be the most underrated beauty product of all time. As the beauty industry moves from one launch to another in 0-60, I can’t help but feel as though genuinely good products are getting lost in the chaos. I use so many hero products …
June Favourites
Summer has arrived people – June is out and July is (nearly) in! As I write this, it’s really bloody hot. Like so so hot. Because British Summertime has actually delivered, it means my June favourites all have a bit more of a summery vibe to them this month. So, go pour yourself a piña colada/mojito/Aperol, lounge out in the …
My speedy nighttime beauty routine
There is little I love more than climbing into bed after a long, luxurious, nighttime pamper sesh. Nothing beats a long soak in the bath, reading a mag with a face mask on, and then slathering some rich body cream on your freshly shaved seal body (only Jo Malone will cut it for such evenings). But the truth is, I …
My five-minute makeup routine
Who really has the time to spend hours on their makeup? I’m lucky if I remember to get changed out of my pyjamas before I leave the house, let alone worry about the state of my face. Luckily, in recent months, I’ve had excellent practice in turning myself around in record timing. While I’m still not great at choosing something …
April favourites
So, it’s actually nearly May. It feels like November. The good news is that the end of April brings with it my very first monthly favourites post. These posts will include little mini reviews of everything that I have been loving this month. This April, it seems that all of my favourites are beauty favourites. Honestly, I think it’s because …
The ultimate face mask edit
I’m a self-confessed serial masker. I bloody love putting on a face mask, sticking on an episode of Friends and letting the formula do its thing. Whether I want to fight blackheads, soothe irritation or give my skin a serious shot of hydration, I know that I can find the answer in one of my many masks. As we start …
The best concealers for dark circles
It’s no secret that my face has been plagued with dark circles since I popped out the womb. Like black clouds looming over my face, they’re present morning and night, day in day out, and concealer has never really worked out for me. Before I get into this, I’d like to clear something up. My dark circles are the hereditary …
