The Body Shop Chocomania Beautifying Oil
I did a site search last night and was shocked to discover that I hadn’t actually written anything about the range of dry body oils launched last year by The Body Shop which. This was particularly surprising as I’ve probably gone through about 5 bottles of this since last summer. Now I’ve said this countless…

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. Jack Black Turbo Body Bar is definitely no exception. I used to use a very similar product way back from The Body Shop, part…

Abahna Mandarin & Sicilian Bergamot Bath Foam
Bathing should be an experience, with hot water, subdued lighting, gentle music and beautiful products. This is something Abahna is in full support of and so much so they wanted me to try out their Mandarin & Sicilian Bergamot Bath Foam, filled with organic wild flower honey, aloe vera, chamomile as well as essential mandarin…

STEAMCREAM Natural Moisturiser
This has been in my review list for a while now, and I was fortunate enough to pick up a STEAMCREAM All-in-One Natural Moisturiser when I visited Hyper Japan back in November. So what is it? Well, STEAMCREAM is an award-winning, multi-purpose, nourishing and hydrating cream, hand-made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients and…

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…

Laura Mercier Ambre Vanillé Honey Bath
Something I took away with me from the Harvey Nichols Autumn / Winter Press Preview, this just sums up the late summer as we begin to transition into the cooler months. So what is it? Well, I’d say it’s more of a beth melt rather than a traditional bubble bath, giving less foam, but more…

Marshmallow Blends Caramel Cupcake Body Scrub
Now, I don’t often step out of the beauty halls and delve confidently into the world of artisan cosmetics. It’s probably because you know what your buying from a counter and can always count on the reliability of the products, but I know full well how completely unadventurous this is and you can end up…
