Best Of The Rest Advent Calendars
[unpaid/affiliate] With just The Body Shop Advent calendar to go on this site (barring surprise arrivals) I thought I’d do a very quick round up of others that have caught…
Origins Advent Calendar 2022
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Just as I was thinking that the Origins Advent Calendar 2022 isn’t the most ‘festive’ thing I’ve seen, I realised that it’s a masterclass in inclusivity. Although advents have…
Nails Inc Pinks
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] All those gorgeous cashmere neutrals are so tempting as we head into colder weather but there’s going to be a day where all you want is some colour and…
L’Occitane Classic Advent Calendar 2022
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] This is the second of my L’Occitane Advent reviews – the brand has four options, the Classic, the Luxury, the Refill, a 24 day refill kit for your previous…
Charlotte Tilbury Diamond Chest Of Beauty Stars Review
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I like this so much – much more than I expected to. It’s 12 doors rather than 25 (or the skimpy 24!) and each item is something you’d actually…
L’Occitane Reusable Advent Calendar
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I used to think that reusable advent calendars were a little, well, dry. Now, I think they’re a really good idea – we have reusable stockings that come out…
Jones Road Miracle Balm Review
Well, I’m confused. It’s described by the brand as a ‘a wash of soft-focus moisture to perfect and enhance skin’ but while it is light reflective, it’s got a smell…
One.Two.Free! Beauty
[purchase] I picked up this product in Spain (we spent a long weekend in San Sebastian – what a wonderful place!) recently in a Douglas store and although I’ve seen…
Paul & Joe Cinnamoroll Collection
[unpaid/sample] For the distinctly un-cute reason of trademarking, Cinnamoroll started life as Cinnamon, created for San Rio (same stable as Hello Kitty) by Miyuki Okumura in 2001. By 2007 the…
Origins Amazing Offer
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m going to say the C word because Origins has a brilliant offer that, if you can turn your mind to Christmas (yes, that C word), is an excellent…
Natucain Lash Growth Review Results
AD I started testing Natucain Lash Growth Serum about the 13th June so I’ve had a good two months using it and now I have clear results. Natucain is hormone…
Rodin Olio Lusso at Jo Malone London
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] It’s here – the temporary collection of Rodin Olio Lusso at Jo Malone London (til next year, I think) although this may well be a test bed to see…
MAC National Lipstick Day
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Yes, you might well roll your eyes at all these ‘national’ days but this is worth noting I promise. From today til 31st July, MAC lipsticks are £14, the…
Beauty Sale Offers Worth Having…
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m doing a quick round up of what, in my head, are ‘sensible’ beauty sale buys – things that you’ll use again and again rather than stare at wondering…
Givenchy Rose Perfecto Liquid Balms
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m not so much of a packaging geek as I used to be – the less the better really, but Givenchy’s use of this nude pink is just exceptional…
