Finding Your Perfect Moisturiser with Estée Lauder | AD

This week I’ve been testing a selection of moisturisers from Estée Lauder in an attempt to find my perfect fit. In the interests of full transparency, I already had a firm favourite (keep on reading), but being the highly scientific person I am (I’m not) I put my preconceptions aside and began trialling the different…

Skincare Review: CeraVe Moisturising Lotion

Here’s a very effective and affordable face treat for you, if you’re after something light, hydrating and sensibly formulated. Suitable for sensitive, itchy or very dry skin (as well as skin with no particular complaints), CeraVe’s Moisturising Lotion comes in a whopping great big pump-action bottle (236ml) which, I’ll admit, does make it look more…

Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer Tint Review

The Protecting, Tinting, Hydrating, Face-Finishing Moisturizer. Phew.

Writing my last skincare post, the one where I talk about trying to find an SPF that my Mum will wear, reminded me that I had, in fact, made rather a nice discovery when I was at her house the other weekend. I was rootling about in her bedside drawers, as you do (does anyone…

Revitalift Laser Renew: Day Cream that Keeps On Working | AD

Apparently, 30% of women in the UK believe that their skincare stops working – or stops working as effectively – over time. I can see where this idea comes from – it’s actually very difficult to see results on your own face when you’re glancing at it in the mirror twice a day. Quite often, you…

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…

Smart Buy: Clinique’s Custom Repair Night Moisturiser

These shiny pots are a devil to take photos of: apologies. I actually got rather a shock when I edited my pictures because my gurning “concentrating” face appeared in one of the reflections – well, half of my face. The other half was behind the camera. At any rate, it’s scary seeing yourself completely off-guard and…

Darphin’s Paris and the Lumiere Essentielle Collection | AD

A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Paris with gorgeous French skincare brand Darphin. I’ve been to Paris more times than I could ever begin to count, and I think it’s easy to become blasé about cities you’re familiar with, no matter how beautiful or interesting they are. But my Darphin host, Caroline,…

Sunday Riley Tidal Cream: Instant Love

I’ve very quickly fallen for Sunday Riley’s Tidal Cream. It is, to summarise prematurely, a fresh-feeling moisturiser with superb brightening effects that seems to be highly effective without feeling as though it’s going to burn my entire face off. So many products are a no-no for me during pregnancy, especially acid exfoliants, that I approach anything with…

My Random Holiday Skincare Selection…

I had around eighteen seconds to put together a washbag for my little mini-trip to the Isle of Wight and I thought it might be interesting* to show you what I packed in terms of skincare. You’ll notice I’ve included a makeup product too; that’s because the skincare section was so bloody thin on the ground that I needed…

L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Laser Renew: The Double Care | AD

You may have noticed that moisturiser reviews have been a bit thin on the ground, recently; that’s because I’ve been in my “testing laboratory” phase again, which is when I try my very best to stick to just one product. (Rarely do I manage more than a week or so without caving in and slathering…
