Malin+Goetz Recovery Treatment Oil
After looking at the Clarins Boosters yesterday, I wanted to cover this as a much better alternative to the Clarins Repair Booster. This contains, among others, 9 natural oils to help repair, protect and strengthen the moisture barrier. I love Malin+Goetz skincare anyway; I use the Vitamin E moisturiser most days, so for me this…

Clarins Boosters Repair & Detox Finally Reviewed
The Clarins Boosters have remained un-reviewed and sat in my review pile forever and for no good reason. I’ve had some sort of mental block on them. I do also have the third Clarins Booster Energy, but I don’t feel it’s anything new; look at both Clinique Fresh Pressed (actually really similar packaging now I think…

Ormonde Jane Ambre Royal Eau De Parfum
This is very, very unusual for Ormonde Jayne. For me it definitely cements the change in style of Ormonde Jayne from the days of lighter, etherial dancing fragrances such as Zizan and Isfarkand to the bold and striking statements of Black Gold and Rose Gold. Ambre Royal undoubtedly sits in the latter; holding the crown.…

Indemne Gimme Clear Unexpected Lotion for Oily Skin and Acne
A new product from a new brand (to me) that’s altogether unexpected. From the French brand Indemne, Gimme Clear Unexpected Lotion is an almost completely natural skin oil. It’s designed to heal and calm acne prone skin whilst reducing surface oil production. An oil for oily skin might sound like the furthest thing away from…

Atelier Des Ors Musc Immortel
Last Thursday it was wonderful to sit down in the lobby of London’s Edition Hotel with the man behind Atelier Des Ors fragrances, Jean-Philippe, and discuss his latest Harrods exclusive launch of Musc Immortel. Launching this month as a Harrods exclusive, Musc Immortel is a malevolent and promiscuous blend of Immortelle, Musk, Ambrette, Vetiver and…

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Light Therapy Acne Mask
Light Therapy masks are slowly creeping onto the mainstream beauty scene. Going anywhere up to and past the £250 mark, many of these masks are unattainable for those who need them the most. So for Neutrogena to release theirs at £59.99 is a massive coup. The Science This technology has been used for years; decades…

Seeing Double: Clinique Fresh Pressed Daily Booster vs. The Body Shop Vitamin C 10 Day Glow Boosting Concentrate
As I mentioned in my previous article, the Clinique Fresh Pressed Daily Booster is not a new innovation on the market. The Body Shop first release their version almost 10 years ago in the form of the Vitamin C 10 Day Glow Boosting Concentrate (formerly Vitamin C Facial Radiance Powder). The two product concepts are entirely…

How To Use NEW Clinique Fresh Pressed 7-Day System with Pure Vitamin C and Full Ingredients List
This isn’t a new product concept on the market, but as Clinique does, they’ve taken the technology; perfected it and then tested it to the ends of the earth. Vitamin C treatments tend to be quite active, so the fact this has been tested and approved for sensitive skin is quite a coup. The Fresh…

Warning: This article does contain a few photos of acne and ingrown hairs If spots on your back, ‘backne’, back pimples or whatever you want to call them are your problem, I think I can help. It’s surprising how often I get asked “how do I get rid of spots on my back?” but it’s not something people will…

LUSH Ltd Plum Rain Shower Gel
I love LUSH Ltd shower gels, however over the last few years, too much glitter has gone into them. However, launching last summer, Plum Rain is a great addition to their range and is 100% glitter free! With plum juice, osmanthus, petitgrain and mandarin; it’s fruity and refreshing. Plum Rain is a very thick and…
