Earlier this week I was in Manchester visiting the Clinique Pep Start #PepStream tour, which you can read about here. As mentioned, Pep-Start consists of 5 products including the Pep-Start eye cream launched at the beginning of this year. The collection is targeting younger, on-the-go skin that could just do with a bit of a wake-up –…

If you read my post earlier today of the Avene TriAcnéal EXPERT Night Treatment, this was the second product I bought in the Boots 3 for 2. To use it’s full name, the La Roche-Posay REDERMIC [R] EYES Anti-Wrinkle Firming Eye Treatment (phew) is a retinol-based eye treatment that targets lines and wrinkles around the eye-area.…

Avene TriAcnéal EXPERT Night Treatment

Over the last year, I’ve really fallen for Avene and their range of exceptional acne, blemish and spot treatments. I love their Avene Cleanance Expert and they recently sponosred me to trial their new Tolerance EXTREME for 3 weeks, a skincare line designed for sensitive skin. So when browsing Boots last week, I was more than…

NEW Heeley Paris Eau Sacree Extract de Parfum

As we fly into Autumn and Winter, it’s time to switch your fragrance up. Going from light fruits and aquatics, to warm darks. NEW Heeley Paris Eau Sacree Extract de Parfum ticks all my autumnal boxes with its seasonally warm composition. Top notes of Labdanum; a heart of Olibanum, patchouli and rose with a base of…

The Tiniest Electric Cleanser: Foreo LUNA Go for MEN

I’ve never gotten into the Foreo LUNA. I’ve been sent the original twice and I’ve given it my best shot – I just didn’t like it. The devices are a different take on devices such as the Clarisonic and Clinique Sonic but instead of using brushes, it’s made of sonic vibrating solicone nodules designed to boost your cleansing.…

Baxter of California Oil Free Moisturiser Re-Review

It’s rare I write about a product twice, but Baxter of California Oil Free Moisturiser has continuously been one for the books. I’ve mentioned a few times recently that if you’re a little oily, your skin is often dehydrated – so instead of trying to break down the oil, add lots of hydration to restore…

The Cool Waters of The Merchant of Venice Venetian Blue

Taking all the best loved traditional elements of Aquatic Fragrances blended with the citrus notes of a fine italian cologne, Venetian Blue by The Merchant of Venice, part of the Nobil Homo collection (no, that’s now how you translate it, I promise) is an absolutely stunning, easy-to-wear, all rounder fragrance. What makes this different is its smokey,…

Aesop Lucent Facial Concentrate

This is definitely something a bit different from Aesop. I often associate them only with skincare that’s nourishing and filled mostly with luxurious but basic natural ingredients – some great, some I don’t like quite as much. The Lucent Facial Concentrate definitely falls into the former and is loaded with active ingredients. The serum, and that’s…
