REN Bio Retinoid Anti-Ageing Cream
I’ve been really excited to share this with you. Launching next month is the incredible new anti-ageing treatment from REN, the REN Bio Retinoid Anti-Ageing Cream. You’d be right in thinking the name sounds familiar as last January, REN launched their fabulous Bio Retinoid Anti-Ageing Concentrate (here’s the review) and you can actually use the…

Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask
Like many, I’ve long since been a fan of the original Clinique Moisture Surge gel. I tend to have dehydrated cheeks and an oilier t-zone, which although needs very little oil boosting, is often massively dehydrated. It’s often very difficult to deliver an enormous amount of deep, multi-level hydration whilst simultaneously keeping skin matte and…

An Interview with Simon Constantine at LUSH
You may have read my interview with LUSH technologist Jack, just before Christmas. Well now I’ve been lucky enough to get an interview with one half of the LUSH Gorilla perfuming pair, Simon Constantine, Mark’s son and asking him questions about their incredible new collection (you can read more about them here). Anyway, enough from…

Jack Black Turbo Body Bar
It seems that Jack Black is definitely the marque du jour in the male grooming world, with a strong, masculine brand presence and products that are packed with high quality ingredients boasting tremendous efficacy.

Versace Eros
The Greek god of love, Eros is the new fragrance from Versace created by Aurelien Guichard, the brand’s first mens scent to launch in 5 years. Needless to say, it’s been worth the wait and I can safely say this is going to be one of the fragrances we’ll remember from 2013. “Eros is a…

Crème de la Mer The Essence
The 21 day, £1,500 treatment from Crème de la Mer. This is the pure treatment, this is an almost pure concentration of that little bit of magic that comes in every product from the brand – The Miracle Broth, developed by botanist and physicist Dr. Max Huber. After 21 days, skin is said to be…

Strivectin-SD Instant Retexturizing Scrub
Inside the large box, ladened with scientific jargon, you’ll discover an incredible exfoliator, a truly fabulous product. I can’t start this review without mentioning the box, I do find it a bit silly, but I can’t stress enough how much of a wonderful product it is. On the back, it talks about engineering the formula…

SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil & Cellumination Mask in Lotion
For an upstanding beautiful, natural skin tone, bare your skin to Japan. As an undergraduate Japanese language student, it would be remiss of me if I didn’t at least attempt to translate their slogan and that was my best attempt (that made anywhere near sense), please correct me if I’m wrong. If you’ve not come…

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Mood Collection
I was going to hold off until they launch but I can’t, I felt myself involuntarily reaching for the ‘Add New Post’ button and my fingers started typing. Francis Kurkdjian fragrances are something rather special to behold with my favourite scent being the Bulgarian Rose Honey delight that is Pour Le Soir. So you can…
