Here are my top five beauty picks for April. I've been using them repeatedly, enjoying each one, and I'll be sad when they run out. But if they're anything like my Medik-8 R-Retinoate, they might last a while, as it seems impossible to finish that bottle—probably a relief given its cost.
First on the list is…
Chanel's new Baume Essentiel has unexpectedly become a standout makeup product this year, particularly in its transparent version. This subtle balm enhances your natural radiance without the typical shimmer or glitter associated with highlighters. It offers a healthy, mirror-like shine that's hard to detect, leaving observers wondering how you achieved such glowing skin.
Initially, you might…
I've got to catch up on my foundation reviews because I'm really behind. I sometimes get bogged down with too much detail and start comparing one foundation to another. Before I know it, I'm wearing two different foundations on each side of my face, and by the time I've finished, a year has gone by,…
Do you remember the time I accidentally hit myself in the face with a big tree? It wasn’t exactly a proud moment; I nearly lost an eye, and I jokingly tell myself that my kids are probably scarred for life. Honestly, they didn’t even look up from their iPads when I yelled “GET DADDY!” I…
So, here's the scoop: I've been using the Flower Beauty Light Illusion Foundation daily for the past two weeks, and I have to say, it's pretty impressive. The only reason I’m not wearing it right now is that I was traveling and needed to keep my makeup bag light—my laptop alone is heavy enough. The…
If you're looking to save money on skincare without sacrificing quality, I've found some fantastic budget-friendly cleansers that I use and repurchase regularly. I've defined "budget" as £10 and under for this list. While "budget" varies for everyone and cheaper options exist, I believe these products offer excellent value for the price.
I've selected five budget-friendly…
Here's a fresh take on the classic red lip, making it more relaxed and easy to wear. This version is soft and diffused, with blurred edges that make it more approachable than the traditional bold, defined red lip, yet still bright enough to stand out.
It’s a fantastic option if you struggle to perfect your lip…
I've been working on finding a more permanent home for all my Instagram videos, so I've started uploading them to YouTube and then embedding them in my blog posts. It's a bit of a task and not the simplest thing to do, but it feels satisfying to keep things organized. Honestly, my life could use…
A whole year has flown by since I shared my post about the personalized skincare routine from Anne Sémonin. It was quite intricate, with daily masks and mixable concentrates, adding toners to this and a few drops of oil to that. Once I got used to it, I loved how active and potent the products…
It's been a while since I’ve reviewed sunscreens. Mainly because I hadn’t been anywhere warm for nearly four years. To properly evaluate sun protection, you need a good amount of hot weather to really get a feel for a product's texture and effectiveness. Testing a facial sunscreen is straightforward – even on a cloudy UK…
