Function of Beauty personalised hair care review
I tried using a shampoo and conditioner made just for me, and here’s what happened. After researching many brands that focus on personalised beauty products for a piece I was writing (read here btw), I knew I wanted to know more about Function of Beauty, an innovative hair care brand that I’ve been wanting to […]
Gisou Hair Mask review & drugstore comparison
It’s true that in beauty as in fashion you get what you pay for usually, but there are always unsung heroes. I was trying to justify the purchase of the Gisou hair mask for quite a while and tried to find reviews to help me make up my mind (hi if that’s what you’re here […]

Open now to the public and for two weeks only (until the 22nd of October) is the lovely exhibition/discovery space for Diptyque Paris, set up to celebrate the 50 years of perfume since the launch of L’Eau EDP in 1968.

Emma Hardie Midas Touch Eye Serum review
My beloved Emma Hardie (if you have never used her Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm to take your makeup off DO! It will change your life and cleansing routine) has come out with a new product as part of the ‘Midas Touch‘ range (previously called the Age Support) and seriously everyone can benefit from that. Let’s […]
SmoothSkin at home IPL Laser Treatment review
Let me start by saying having or not having body hair is entirely personal, and everyone should express themselves the way they want.

There are many new offerings from my favourite beauty […]

The exclusive perfumery house The Merchant of Venice has a beautiful perfume collection using Murano glasses, to further promote the artisanal Venetian creations and combine the two important exports of Venice. The line also includes candles with the holder made out of Murano glass and home decoration items.
Parterre Fragrances
Parterre Fragrances was founded by husband and wife David and Julia Bridger late last year, at Keyneston Mills, near Dorset. Wanting to re-invent perfumery in a modern way, they only use the extracts they can actually produce in their garden; meaning they have exclusive, limited editions of perfumes each year depending on the yield from their own plants […]
OM Skincare Mindful Traveller review
I came across OM Skincare last year at Space NK, which is my favourite place to discover new brands. It’s an all natural brand developed by Dr Om Prawarisa who wanted to create a brand around mindfulness and natural beauty and skincare. The capsule skincare collection Dr Om has created is perfectly suited to all […]
