Murad Retinol Youth Renewal: The Game-Changing Eye Serum

This isn’t my first time at the rodeo when it comes to writing about Murad’s brilliant Retinol Youth Renewal range. I covered the relaunch at around this time last year (you can read that post here if you fancy) and it’s one of the ranges I refer to by default when people ask me for retinol recommendations….

Do You Really Need An Eye Cream? The Car Wash Analogy

There’s an ongoing argument about eye creams in the beauty world; some believe them to be utterly pointless and instead of making the separate investment simply use their existing facial serum and moisturiser right up to and around the eye area. Others (me included) like to use a separate cream and wholeheartedly advocate it. I…

GIVEAWAY: The All-Powerful Liquid Gold

Cult Australian skincare brand Alpha-H have extended their amazing Liquid Gold line to include an all-powerful, all-problem-tackling eye cream. Their original Liquid Gold – an acid exfoliant that champions glycolic acid as its hero ingredient – was one of the first beauty products to properly make me sit up and take notice.

Perhaps they could prescribe me a full routine to follow, introduce me…

Current Skincare Routine: Spring 2017

I’ve updated my skincare routine; firstly because we’re moving into the warmer months and there’s the inevitable extra sun exposure, and secondly because I’m no longer pregnant and my skin is far less sensitive. I’ve started to add stronger and more active products into my routine and I’ve upped the antioxidants to give a bit of extra protection…

The £80 Eye Mask Dupe…

Perhaps “dupe” isn’t quite the right word to use here; “alternative” is far more accurate, but it doesn’t sound as good in my title! The Eye Duty Triple Remedy Gel Cream from First Aid Beauty isn’t by any means a copy of Sisley’s amazing Eye Contour Mask – it isn’t a mask, for a start – but its texture and intense…
