Best of 2019: My Skincare and Haircare Favourites

Here are my 2019 favourites for skincare and haircare, including the latest shampoo discovery that actually changes the entire feel of my hair and the skincare that’ll make a proper difference to your beauty routine. I was going to do a bodycare version of this 2019 roundup, as well as a “best books” video, but…

Skincare Review: The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Day Cream

This gorgeous pot of buttery face cream from The Body Shop has shot straight into my Sensitive Skin Good Buys category. I don’t actually have a Sensitive Skin Good Buys category, but maybe I should create one, because products for sensitive skin are most definitely a frequent query. The as yet non-existent category would definitely contain the…

Skincare Stocking Fillers: The Soothing Mask | AD

There’s a new addition to L’Oreal’s Pure Clay mask range and it couldn’t have launched at a better time. The Pure Clay Soothing Mallow Mask has been formulated with more sensitive skin in mind which makes it perfect for winter-worn, partied-out skin that needs a bit of extra care. The gentle, creamy formula feels comfortable…

Skincare Review: La Solution 10 De Chanel

I had forgotten how much I like this rich, instantly-soothing face cream from Chanel. It contains just ten ingredients (hence the Solution 10) and has been carefully and cleverly formulated so that it’s suitable for even the most sensitive skin. No fragrance (a rarity in Chanel’s skincare line-up), no mineral oil and a preservative that’s…

October Beauty: What Really Worked?

A new format for you; I’ve rolled the October monthly “favourites” and “most-used” into one mega-video to create – wait for it – October Beauty: What Really Worked? Now don’t get me wrong, I love picking out the most exciting new launches and best old-school beauty staples for my favourites videos. I also love analysing the products I’ve…

Skin Sensitivity and Satan’s Bicycle: Toleriane Ultra Nuit

Another great moisturiser from La Roche-Posay (I already really rate the Toleriane Fluid for very light, effective hydration): the Toleriane Ultra Overnight Care. This is an intensely soothing, comfortable night cream that feels very rich but doesn’t leave any greasiness – it’s a great addition to your skincare line-up if your skin is often irritated and dry….

The Pai Skincare Facial: Cold Stones and Capable Hands

I’ve already written about my marvellous Lime Wood Hotel mini-break (see here) but I promised that I’d talk more about their spa (The Herb House) and – more specifically – the gorgeous Pai Skincare facial that I was treated to. I haven’t had a lot of facials in the past year (not enough time) and the last one I…
