Moosehead Hard Core Wax / Hard Wearing Fibre
So, Mooshead my old friend, the creators from down under of some fantastic hair styling products. I very recently got to try their Hard Core Wax and Hard Wearing Fibre. The Hard Core Wax is defined as having a strong hold with a low shine. When trying it, I found that the hold is not…

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…

L’Occitane Shea Honey Hand Cream
The Shea Honey Hand Cream from L’Occitane. I was told by the consultant in their Manchester store that this is unfortunately a limited edition! The hand cream is beautifully thick when it comes out the tube and you only need a small amount. You would immediately think because it is so thick that its going…

Fellas Cleansing Wipes
We’ve all seen adverts for feminine wipes and other such things, but what all men know is that sometimes, after a long day, things sometimes need freshening up down there. Fellas Cleansing Wipes are essentially intimate wipes for men and are pH balanced and dermatologically tested for daily use, although they’re not made to replace…

It’s been a while since I’ve been this genuinely excited and actually quite giddy to use a new product range. The range consists of 4 products, a clay facial wash, clay mask, day moisturiser and night moisturiser. Unlike many so called ‘acne-care’ series, this range has no beaded exfoliating scrub of any kind which made…

Ok, I know I’m about 40 years too late for this to be a ground-breaking review but this is a product that I believe to be one of the most effective on the market. Created by the skin care company that inspired them all, Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion is something pretty unique indeed. Firstly,…
