A (new age) fake tan comparison: Isle of Paradise vs Oskia

Truth be told, I’ve never been a huge fan of fake tan. Maybe it’s the negative connotations of cheap fake tan = streaky, orange, biscuit scent, maybe it’s the fact that I could never be bothered with the upkeep. I know people that fake tan every single week and I’m amazed by the dedication, not […]

The Hype I’d never before heard of a machine that removed split ends until one was used to trim my hair at a hair salon, and ever since, I’ve been looking high and low to get my hands on this intriguing gadget to shape up my hair at home.

Lash Lift at Lash Perfect Beauty Bar Review

lash lift LVL review Lash bar soho

Even if you’re not interested in beauty you will have definitely noticed the craze with big, fluttery lashes the past few years.

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. For me it’s being mostly hair-less (apart from on top of my head and brows, duh), and I normally get IPL laser treatments at a dermatologist’s clinic, which is an expensive habit. It’s […]

Christmas in July Beauty previews

In the real world seeing Christmas products in the middle of the summer (while loads of people haven’t even been on summer holidays yet) may seem rather odd, but many retailers choose to showcase their Christmas offerings in July (often referred to as ‘Christmas in July’). There are many new offerings from my favourite beauty […]
