Ormonde Jane Ambre Royal Eau De Parfum
This is very, very unusual for Ormonde Jayne. For me it definitely cements the change in style of Ormonde Jayne from the days of lighter, etherial dancing fragrances such as Zizan and Isfarkand to the bold and striking statements of Black Gold and Rose Gold. Ambre Royal undoubtedly sits in the latter; holding the crown.…

Indemne Gimme Clear Unexpected Lotion for Oily Skin and Acne
A new product from a new brand (to me) that’s altogether unexpected. From the French brand Indemne, Gimme Clear Unexpected Lotion is an almost completely natural skin oil. It’s designed to heal and calm acne prone skin whilst reducing surface oil production. An oil for oily skin might sound like the furthest thing away from…

Atelier Des Ors Musc Immortel
Last Thursday it was wonderful to sit down in the lobby of London’s Edition Hotel with the man behind Atelier Des Ors fragrances, Jean-Philippe, and discuss his latest Harrods exclusive launch of Musc Immortel. Launching this month as a Harrods exclusive, Musc Immortel is a malevolent and promiscuous blend of Immortelle, Musk, Ambrette, Vetiver and…

Seeing Double: Clinique Fresh Pressed Daily Booster vs. The Body Shop Vitamin C 10 Day Glow Boosting Concentrate
As I mentioned in my previous article, the Clinique Fresh Pressed Daily Booster is not a new innovation on the market. The Body Shop first release their version almost 10 years ago in the form of the Vitamin C 10 Day Glow Boosting Concentrate (formerly Vitamin C Facial Radiance Powder). The two product concepts are entirely…

How To Use NEW Clinique Fresh Pressed 7-Day System with Pure Vitamin C and Full Ingredients List
This isn’t a new product concept on the market, but as Clinique does, they’ve taken the technology; perfected it and then tested it to the ends of the earth. Vitamin C treatments tend to be quite active, so the fact this has been tested and approved for sensitive skin is quite a coup. The Fresh…

Do It Yourself: Make Your Own PVA Glue and Charcoal Pore Peel Mask
Now that I have your attention; do not do one of these ridiculous DIY Black Charcoal Peel of Masks. Any blogger or YouTuber perpetuating this highest-order horseshit should be taken off the internet. They’re usually the same people that tell you how you can get rid of acne with Toothpaste, Sudocrem and a Lemon. Absolutely, bollocks. However,…

Is the Huawei Nova the Perfect Blogger’s Phone? #Sponsored
I used to be a huge Apple fanboy – at one point I was rocking the latest MacBook Pro, iMac, Apple TV, iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch. Then about 2 years ago, I came to the hard conclusion that I was in fact spending more on a brand than I was on seriously high-spec reliable…

LUSH Ltd Plum Rain Shower Gel
I love LUSH Ltd shower gels, however over the last few years, too much glitter has gone into them. However, launching last summer, Plum Rain is a great addition to their range and is 100% glitter free! With plum juice, osmanthus, petitgrain and mandarin; it’s fruity and refreshing. Plum Rain is a very thick and…
