L’Occitane launch the intoxicating Aromachologie collection
Before the current version, way back when, The Body Shop used to do a fabulous well being range with several sub-collections aimed at relaxation, energisation, detoxification and sleep in Kilner jar-style packaging, made with all-natural materials and essential oils.

Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash: Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment with Pink Grapefruit
When it comes to high street grooming and beauty, especially when looking at local supermarkets of Boots/Superdrug stores, Neutrogena has to be one of me favourite brands.

Aesop Petitgrain Hydrating Body Gel

After two years of trying, I have finally pioneered and perfected an entirely new luxury bathing experience. I wanted to sit writing this fresh; feeling fresh and with the Jo Loves Green Orange & Coriander Bath Cologne…

Argan 5 + Precious Oil Eixir
Every time I see body oils, little sirens go off in my head as I can just picture my skin and face breaking out into a greasy, spotty mess; I can’t be the only one that things this? So, I’ll have to be honest to say that I put off reviewing Argan Plus Precious Oil…

Kiehl’s Creme de Corps by Eric Haze
Merry Christmas! Not that far away now and I’m getting ultra excited; I love visiting packed stores to be given abominable customer service by under-qualified and brain-dead Christmas temps. Anyway… here’s something lovely from Kiehl’s to lift our spirits. This year Kiehl’s have had the Creme de Corps limited edition collection designed by New York graffiti artist…
