My Influenster VoxBox Experience (UK)
When I first found out about Influenster I got right on it. I had not heard much about it before but for the chance to try out complimentary beauty products it was ideal (I buy way too many, I’m weak!). I was regularly reviewing products and completing all my ‘snaps’, and just enjoying the overall…

Learn skincare with me. Lesson 5: Ceramides
Ceramides are one of those words I’ve heard thrown around in skincare a lot, but never knew too much about what they were until I did a bit of digging. A lot of skincare products include ceramides (for good reason, of course) so back in the day when I was throwing products on my face…

Pharrell’s Humanrace skincare: 3 minute facial
First of all, happy new year to my wonderful followers and any newcomers! I hope you all enjoyed the festive period as much as you could under these circumstances (cough, Covid!). I haven’t been very active on here because, well, life. But I’m back and I’ll be posting more regularly on products and more. So,…

Learn skincare with me. Lesson 4: Retinoids
I first heard about the benefits of retinoids in my early 20s, and thought that’ll probably be something I need to start using soon. But then I saw the price of retinol products and though SCREW that! Fortunately, the skincare sphere has changed pretty fast and there are now brands that have made retinoid products…

Learn skincare with me. Lesson 3: SPF
To be honest, I don’t know why I haven’t made this the first post in the series because is there really anything more important?! By now we are all aware of what the sun can do and what damage it can cause, so it’s ultra important to use SPF and protect our skin as best…

Learn skincare with me. Lesson 2: Hyaluronic Acid
The next instalment of ‘Learn skincare with me’ is focusing on another ‘top dog’ ingredient in the skincare world: Hyaluronic Acid. It sounds scarier than it is – it’s definitely not going to erode your face when incorporated into your routine. In fact, the results are so good that you’re doing your skin a disservice…

The skincare brushes you didn’t know you needed (you don’t… but you do)
I’ve always hated sticking my fingers in pots of products, regardless of how clean they are. It just feels like I’m contaminating the rest of it. I especially can’t stand when I have to scrape it out from under my nails afterwards (ugh!). Brands seem to be getting better at including spatulas etc, but there’s…

The 7 critical beauty commandments you need to commit to ASAP
(As per my opinion). There are so many things that I’ve learned over the years that I absolutely should have given more weight to. I’ve gradually started to acknowledge them over time and doing better at looking after myself in these ways, but here are some of the key things I wish I started earlier……

Learn skincare with me. Lesson 1: Vitamin C
Vitamin C: one of the superheroes of skincare. I could dive right in and ramble on about vitamin C in my typical fashion, but I actually want to structure the information as it’s a pretty important topic when it comes to skincare. I’d be pretty surprised if you’ve not heard of the wonder-nutrient in skincare…

Why all the hype around Olaplex?
I’ll tell you why: it’s amazing. I’m going to be completely honest here and admit that I very rarely cut my hair (I know, terrible!) so it’s almost always in need of some TLC. I’ll give it a trim myself occasionally (you can get away with it on long hair, I swear!), otherwise it’s just…
