Antipodes is a New Zealand based brand which is one of … Continue reading Antipodes – innovative, organic skincare
I cannot believe it is 19th April ... really? It seems a little odd to be writing a post now on my empty products from March but the last three weeks have flown by! This particular post was going to be a bit of a lengthy one given I seem to have finished quite a … Continue reading March Empties – Skincare
My skincare in general changed quite a lot a while ago when I started following Caroline Hirons blog with the help of her 'Cheat Sheets' and YouTube videos.

Box 18 is a new one for me in that I haven't heard of this brand before (again, another great reason to have a beauty advent calendar!!). I will admit, as much as I am all about good skincare, it kinda stops at my face & neck! I apply body lotion when I get out … Continue reading M&S Beauty Calendar Day 18
Black Friday is one sale event that I don't go mad about but I do keep an eye on what's going on to see if there was anything I was already thinking of buying or indeed as with this order, there is something that catches my eye! I think this order in fairness to me … Continue reading Deciem Black Friday Bargains
Today's beauty brawl item is 'Lip Treatment' and for me there's only one contender. I suffer with dry, chapped lips. I have a bad habit of biting my lips and when I then try and wear matte effect lipsticks, they can look awful! Some normal lipsticks can also dry my lips out so I do … Continue reading Christmas Beauty Brawl Day 4
