Raz*War Black Edition
A while ago, I was thrilled to try out El Ché, a 3 blade razor from RazWar, a company that has strayed away from the mass brand dominance and has created a truly excellent system of wet razors. This time though, it’s all about the Black Edition, a chunkier, 4 blade system that has provided…

GLAMGLOW Super Mud Pore & Blemish Mask
If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know how much of a massive fan I am of the original GLAMGLOW Mud Mask. When compared to a lot of the others out there that I’ve tried, this is the difference between Bagpuss and Sonic The freaking Hedgehog! It’s highly charged and undoubtedly powerful, packed full of…

Francis Kurkdjian Absolue Pour Le Soir
This is another in my series of beautiful fragrance reviews and I have to tell you that this is now my all-ocassion evening accessory, replacing many of my best-loved – it’s just too delicious.

Lush Ltd Fun 洗隊レンジャー
洗隊レンジャー, plastered on the front of all Lush Ltd’s FUN packaging translates as ‘Ranger Squadron’, so there you have it, it’s nice to put my University education to some real use. Ranger actually transliterates into Japanese so is pronounced ‘RENJYAA’; they do a lot of this particularly with English, French and German words. The best…

Francis Kurkdjian Incense Papers
Such a beautiful thing from the House of Francis Kurkdjian. These incense papers are lightly and delicately laced with Francis’ stunning APOM, Lumière Noire and Aqua Universalis fragrances. If like myself, you’ve never heard of incense papers before now, you’re in for a treat. They burn in a very similar fashion, although much quicker, but…
