Beauty Business News : 25% Tariff on US Imported Make Up
This is just a very brief posting about something that appeared on Sky News (HERE) this morning. My friend @epiphannie flagged it up to me earlier today – I’ve spoken…
Chanel 3D Printed Mascara Brush
I love the backstory to this 3D printed mascara wand almost more than the actual product, Le Volume Révolution. It’s a significant investment for the brand and took them six years…
Jessica Summer 2018 Collection
I love this colour line up from Jessica for Summer 2018. At £6.85 each for the minis or £11 for the full size, I think they’re good value and there…
Article White Ostrich Astrid Candle
If you’ve been in Anthropologie lately, you might have noticed the Article White candles – exceptionally good value at £20 each. With names like Ostrich Astrid, Kruger Cougar and Womblewood,…
Fresh Soy Cleanser Limited Edition
It’s not for no reason that Soy Face Cleanser is Fresh’s best selling facial cleanser. I’d forgotten that back in 2000, when this product first launched, that it came in…
The Anti-ageing Skincare Conference
Did you know there is a global Anti-Ageing Skin Conference every two years? It would be every kind of depressing with a title like that were it not for the…
Jillian Dempsey Cheek Tints
Creme blush makes me happy – it doesn’t make skin look dry, it (usually) diffuses perfectly on the skin so it looks very natural and fresh. I occasionally use a…
All About Retinol: Your Top Questions Answered By Olay #AD
I get asked about retinol products more than any other across the entire skin care category. There’s still so much confusion about this ingredient that has transformed over the years…
Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Body & Hair Oil
So many new launches from Jo Malone at the moment. Next up is the Lime, Basil & Mandarin Body and Hair Oil – their first foray into a multi-functional oil…
The Body Shop Banana Range
I’m never sure with Body Shop what’s a re-visit and what’s brand new, but I did have my first ever banana experience (stop it) a few weeks ago with the…
Unilever Says It Out Loud : Influencer Fraud
Up until now, brands haven’t really taken too much notice of the inconvenient truth about bought followers falsely inflating the relevance of influencers. Buying followers is the thorn in the…
Talika Brow Tintation
This is the best thing I’ve tested in a while – it’s so simple to use and the results are very impressive. I’m not sure, despite extensively reading up, that…
Beauty Honours Roll Call
This year, the beauty industry was very well represented in the Queen’s Honours List. Whether you’re a royalist or not, there are precious few occasions where the outside world gets…
Bourjois Lip Duo Sculpt
These lip liners/lipsticks in one really do work but more for an ombre lip effect than realistic liner/lippie combos. The shades that Bourjois has chosen means that unless you’re prepared…
Benefit Hello Happy Foundation
There’s nothing I don’t like about the brand new Benefit Hello Happy Foundation – billed as weightless, breathable, blurring and giving natural coverage – 100% yes to all of these things.…
Jo Malone Charity Home Candle 2018
This is such a worthwhile initiative from Jo Malone who support various mental health charities through the sale of these limited edition candles. The charities have a focus on gardens…
Stila Glitter & Glow Highlighter
Going high beam was the best thing that Stila ever did – these Glitter & Glow Highlighters, plus Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadows, have reinvigorated this brand completely. Partly, it’s the…
MV Organic Rose Plus Booster
Wow – this quiet looking skin booster has a roster of awards for being somewhat of a life saver for skin that needs SOS. I’ll say up front that it’s…
Kure Bazaar Summer 2018
You know how you create your own nonsensical beauty rules? Mine is never put nude polish on toe nails – I’ve honestly no idea why in my head it’s brights…
Bourjois Le Duo Blush
So, these are rather lovely! The Little Round Pot gets a new look with two shades in one pot. I’d forgotten how sparkly Bourjois blush can be so if you…
Darphin Petal Infusion Lip Oils
Well, these are very unexpected! This feels like a huge step forward for Darphin, a brand that’s reliably excellent but we might say a little staid at times. What beautiful…
& Other Stories Sale
I was absolutely ready to do a post about the & Other Stories sale yesterday because it’s one of my favourite stores and I buy regularly from there, but the…
MAC Look In A Box
Honestly, mini-sizing is the best thing that MAC could have done to re-energize themselves. If you look past the initial prettiness, this is a brand that for a long time…
Jo Malone Queen of Pop Collection
I never thought a quote from Poppy Delevingne could resonate but a timely reminder from the British actress; “..it’s a colourful celebration of all things bath time, and the perfect…
Time of Your Life Box
This new beauty box is a little different – it’s a mix of products (including chocolate – what’s not to like about that?) aimed at 40+ and lifestyle podcasts pinged…
MAC x Patrick Starr Full Face Kit Summer 2018
Is this Patrick Starr’s third collaboration with MAC? I’ve lost count but the fact that they keep on coming back to team up with the You Tube guru must mean…
Dolce & Gabbana Summer 2018
Even if you can’t picture yourself in a yellow lipstick, these Miss Sicily Colour and Care Lipstick textures are absolutely beautiful. They’re much more a wash of colour rather than a…
25% Off Fitflops
It’s that time! You’d think by now I might be completely over this brand but the love continues. I almost delay slipping them on when the weather changes because I…
Lixirskin Soft Clay Rubber
The newest offering from Lixirskin is the Soft Clay Rubber that goes back to the founder, Colette’s, French skin care roots. I will tell you the first time I used this,…
