I really couldn’t resist featuring this cream that ‘slims your body, detoxify and beauty your skin .. with unique softly hot feeling’. Well, you don’t see that every day for sure. I’m afraid I wouldn’t advise pinning your hopes on it.. if you see the picture below take a look at the before and after…

Not everyone has a huge array of choices when it comes to skin care. There are those who are super-sensitive to just about everything, and a product being simply ‘organic’ doesn’t mean that sensitivities won’t occur. Natural actives can often trigger allergies or skin reactions. So, finding a skin care line (albeit a small one)…

Got to admit, I go a bit weak for a nude nail polish: Rococo’s Nude Wardrobe is an antidote to all the nail effects going on at the moment. You know, for those days when your nails just want some quiet time. This looks so sleek and elegant and there’s a nude for everyone in…

There’s so much wow stuff around that actually I’m quite liking the simplicity of these little Aveda shades. Aveda is more known for its shampoos and hair products, but they do also have a small make up range. These Petal Essence singles are £11.25 each, so quite expensive, but their USP is that they are…

I really like this dark and dusky mauve shade and the magnet works really well I must admit. I used one coat of the polish and then applied the magnet using the resting edge that stops you clunking straight onto your polished nail! I love this look – and the polish dries really quickly, too.…

Head to Superdrug tomorrow and you’ll find the brand new mascara from Maybelline with a claw-wand specially designed to volumise the outer corner of the eyes for a feline look. With a collagen enriched formula, it costs £7.99.

Okay, so here is the full line up of all 15 lipstick shades from Max Factor Elixir Boutique that promise smoother lips in seven days and launch tomorrow. With 60% nourishing ingredients such as white tea, avocado and aloe, we can look forward to a winter of lusciously smooth smiles! 

I was recently sent a sample of this beautiful cleansing water. It is a Micellar water which means oil in water. The oil is undetectable and leaves no trace of grease – it just feels as though you are cleaning your skin with very gentle feeling water, but your complexion feels none of the tightness…

I’m not a major Body Shop fan but love the quality of this Smoky Eyes Palette that will be released later on in the season. It comes with a mini eye liner (Rich Brown) and a mini kohl pencil (Intense Brown). The brown shades all blend really softly as you will see from the swatch.…

I’m really pleased with this nail look using butterLondon Knees Up, Deborah Lippmann My Old Flame and Chanel Mat Velvet Top Coat – and nail guides. It’s really fiddly but worth it I think. And then just to see what it would look like, I’ve added some chain stickers.  

I haven’t tried this range yet although I’ve featured it once before, but adore the packaging so wanted to give it another show. Jersey Cow is from – yes – Jersey and is made without parabens, petroleum, silicon and sodium sulphates and of course, not tested on animals. The graphics are strong and witty, the…
