I’m taking a break from all the Christmas festivities and crafts to post a nice little beauty review. I’ve tried (and loved) a Balance Me cleanser before. I love the Balance Me promise – skincare that is 100% natural origin and created in the UK – so as long as the products work for me … Continue reading Tried and Tested: Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm
I really love Lush. I love them for their cruelty-free ethics and some fab products such as the fresh face masks, the pigmented make-up, the cleansers etc. But I've never really been keen on all the novelty products - the heavily perfumed novelty bath bombs and the themed gift-wrapped boxes for example. Actually, anything that seems more about "style" than "substance" (in … Continue reading Tried and Tested: Lush FUN
I've made the decision to give my trusty old favourite MAC mascara the elbow for ethical reasons (they currently sell into China where animal testing is required on cosmetics). After it ran out I decided I wanted to give Urban Decay a go instead, because not only do I like their makeup in general, they’ve also been brave enough to pull out … Continue reading Reviewed: Urban Decay Lush Lash Mascara
I love statement lip colour, and that means finding strong shades that are heavily pigmented. I recently ran out of my No.7 Gay Geranium, which was my all-time favourite, and because I prefer to go cruelty free these days I decided to find a new one. The hunt lead me to Lush and their Emotional Brilliance range, and specifically to my chosen … Continue reading Pigmented Lip Colour: I Believe!
Lush massage bars are solid bars of essential oils that melt on the skin when warm to create the perfect massage oil. The great thing about them (in my opinion) is that they’re naked – that is, they have no packaging at all, which makes them a great environmentally friendly product! I’d never used one … Continue reading Lush Energised Massage Bar
I received a sample pot of this cupcake face mask in a goodie bag that Lush were giving out to people on Fashion’s Night Out. Of all the Lush fresh face masks it seems the most appealing at first glance – it’s called cupcake for one, and looks and smells like chocolate for another. But actually … Continue reading Lush Cupcake Face Mask
I’ve been using this B. Ready Day Cream for my face for about a month and I am loving it! It’s from B., Superdrug’s own clinically-tested premium skincare range, and it cost me just £6.66 for 50ml as it was on offer, but I even think the normal price of £9.99 is quite reasonable. Superdrug … Continue reading B. Ready Day Cream
It takes me no more than 10 minutes to do my everyday makeup in the morning, which is ideal as I don’t have much time to play with. My morning makeup routine is the same every day and I always try to go quite natural for work, and I thought I would share with you … Continue reading Everyday Makeup Routine
It’s always useful to have a dry shampoo in your collection for those last minute hair emergencies or just to add some volume to an up-do. I’ve only previously ever used Batiste, which has always worked well, and the only reason I decided to try the Superdrug own-brand version was Superdrug’s cruelty free credentials. However, … Continue reading Review: Superdrug Dry Shampoo
I’ve been looking for a new daily facial cleanser, ideally cruelty free and natural, and as luck would have it I managed to get samples of 3 different cleansers to try. Great news, as this means I can see which one (if any) I like best before buying a full-sized version. Balance Me: Daily Essentials … Continue reading Battle of the Natural Cleansers
