Luxury fragrance Curionoir lands in the UK
All the way from New Zealand, and particularly part of the indigenous Maori tribe, fine fragrance Curionoir has landed in the UK. I had the chance to meet with the founder Tiffany Jeans, a strong and determined woman, who set up her brand as an homage to the Maori culture, and her rich heritage. She had been […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
Zelens Z Balance Facial Mist review
Zelens is one of my favourite brands and it’s easy to see why. Who doesn’t like great products that work and are certified by a renowned doctor (not to mention, with a clinic off Harley Street). I had the chance to meet Dr. Marko Lens, who splits his time between LA, Germany and London, in […]
Egyptian Magic 25th anniversary
If you’re not familiar with Egyptian Magic, let me give you a quick debrief; it’s the only brand that’s 25 years old and only has one product. This one product though kind of speaks for itself. Celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, their hero cream can basically do anything. It’s an all-natural moisturising healing cream, […]
Aromatherapy Associates Eau de Parfum preview
The first perfume of Aromatherapy Associates, simply called Eau de Parfum, is a limited edition perfume, very feminine and fresh. It was created in memory of late co-founder Geraldine Howard, who had created this unique blend with her favourite essential oils. We experienced this wonderful new scent in the beautiful penthouse of the Dorchester Hotel. […]
Sanoflore Organic review
French skincare brand Sanoflore has been focusing lately on anti-pollution products. As I have mentioned previously, pollution is a catastrophic factor to our skin and aging, and there is this misconception that the sun is the only problem. Loads of brands have launched anti-pollution skincare products, like Chantecaille (preview here), Clarins, Zelens, Chanel, and others. It’s […]
