Molton Brown Skin Firming Lipoamino Hydrator / Londinium
A good few months back, actually the beginning of easter, I was sent these two fabulous products through from Molton Brown who wanted to give me loads of time to live with the products before deciding if I’d like to write about them before their launch, this week. Needless to say, the products were superb…

Liz Earle For Men Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser
I’ve always seen Liz Earle about, particularly when I worked with Clinique at John Lewis in Cheadle a couple of years ago, but never actually bought anything. I can honestly say I’ve missed out big time. On visiting John Lewis in Liverpool I strayed over to their counter for a peruse and what I peruse…

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant
So what is so good about this cream? I see it absolutely everywhere I go, no matter which shop, department store, airport, airplane or country I’m in – there it is, beaming away with its gorgeous white packaging and red door logo. Designed to calm, protect and hydrate for, you guessed it, 8 hours; this…

Origins Super Spot Remover
I don’t know I haven’t reviewed this already. I picked a while ago, and it’s just one of those things that you don’t really pay attention to, you just use it when you need it and then forget about it until next time. This teeny-tiny blue plastic bottle with white plastic lid contains 10ml of…

REN Photoactive Sun Veil SPF 15
I’ve found the product that will set me up for the summer and keep my unbelievably pale skin protected from Manchester’s hot summer sun – REN Photoactive Sun Veil SPF 15. This product is one of the best dedicated facial sun screens I’ve come across to date. It’s designed to be worn over the top…

The Body Shop Hemp Hand Oil
I get dry hands. They used to be completely fine, but over the last few years, I’ve been getting dry patches on my fingers that are flare ups of eczema. I’ve used many hand creams but the problem is that they often tend to sit on top as dry and dead skin cells often block…

Wilkinson Sword Hydro Skincare
Now, you may or may not have read my glittering review of the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Razor. I’d picked one up at a student fair a couple of years back and have thoroughly enjoyed it every since. I used to be a biiiig Gillette fan, swearing by the Fusion, until I got hold of…

Kiko BB Cream SPF 15
