Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System

So it’s time to review this. I’ve had it for a month and wanted to really test it out before I gave my verdict. Since using this I have had maybe 4 spots, that’s it, and this is from someone who might have one come up every day. It’s a level of physical exfoliation that…

Calvin Klein Makeup for Men
I’ll be honest. I’ve never been that much of an advocate of makeup on men, because you rarely see it done well. The idea of makeup on men, I feel, is more to be corrective rather than enhancing, covering spots and helping to even out skin tone etc, rather than lashings of blusher, bronzer, eye…

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…

Shiseido Active Energizing Concentrate

This wasn’t my discovery unfortunately, I found this in Shortlist a fab free paper I picked up whilst in Manchester. The Shiseido Active Energizing Concentrate is an anti-ageing serum targets fibroblast cells which are responsible for the production of elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid. They’re saying the turnaround on this product is about two weeks, but I’m…

Anthony Logistics Pre-Shave Oil

Some of you may not have encountered shave oils before and this is because they’ve fallen out of favour due to the increased popularity of shave foam gels supposedly offering a ‘complete shave’. However much of a ‘complete shave’ your gel offers, it still can’t beat the use of a quick and easy pre-shave oil…

Philips Diamond Clean Electric Toothbrush HX9332

Looking after your teeth is just as important as exercising and eating well and should be taken as seriously and electrical dental care has been something pretty massive especially over the last 10 years. First there were the mechanical versions with the rotating brush head, to then the world of Sonicare®, technology acquired by Philips…

REN ClearCalm3 Range

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…

Biotherm Homme High Recharge Eye Shot

Biotherm Homme High Recharge Eye Shot is a powerful new member of the Biotherm Recharge family. More than a standard eye gel, and far, far more than a standard ‘rollerball’, this product is made of a lightweight absorbent gel dispensed through a whopping 3 rollerballs. It’s ridiculously cooling, fast-acting and absorbing, and over the past…

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion

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,…

The Body Shop Nutriganics Drops of Youth

Over the last year The Body Shop seems to have come on leaps and bounds and whoever is now in charge of their marketing and R&D has finally dragged this ageing hippy screaming into the 21st century whilst still upholding those amazing core values that we all know and love. It definitely has evolved for…
