Crème de la Mer: The Collection For Men
This Father’s Day (Sunday 15th June) Crème de la Mer have created the most beautiful travel collection of the perfect products for men. I’ve been using this kit since myself since January and I’m gobsmacked how long it’s been lasting (that’s right, it’s still trucking). It’s superb value at £225 which is well worth the…

Crème de La Mer The NEW Cleansing Gel
The NEW Crème de La Mer The Cleansing Gel is where it’s all at. I’m a huge fan of the original The Cleansing Gel, a cleanser that seems to last a scarily long amount of time; mine being near the end of its life after being in use for almost a year. So what’s the difference?…

Crème de la Mer The Treatment Lotion
You may have seen my review a little while ago of L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Lotion where I talked about an impending Korean import trending it’s way into our market over the next year. Crème de la Mer The Treatment Lotion is another product from a big player to bring this technology to market, a lotion that’s not…

Versace Eros You can read my full review for Versace Eros here, but this is definitely my favourite for spring. It’s light, sweet and fresh, but with a solid base that lets everyone know you mean business. My favourite notes are the Madagascan vanilla flower and deliciously fresh apple. Versace’s first men’s fragrance launch in…

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…

Crème de la Mer The Cleansing Gel (The Original)
You’ll probably know by now that I am a pretty massive Crème de la Mer fan, for the reason being that they’re a brand who’ve successfully combined luxury with true efficacy. Until now I was using The Cleansing Foam, but not religiously and only when I was feeling particularly oily and in need of a…

Crème de la Mer The Lip Balm
I hate my lips, always have done, as I suffer with the most appalling eczema and I’m sure you know what that entails. I’ve come to see myself as a bit of a lip balm expert over the years as there’s honestly very few our there that I haven’t tried, from the cheapest to the…
