The Ultimate At-Home K-Beauty Facial
If you follow us closely on the blog or on social media, you’re no doubt aware that I’m having a serious Korean beauty obsession right now (me and the rest of the world).

SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight Review & Giveaway
It’s quite rare for Jules and I to test the same products as we have such different skin types.

Smooth, Soft Summer Feet: Three Products You Need
The majority of us tend to neglect our feet – I know I am guilty of hastily painting over chipped polish instead of re-doing my pedicure; of leaving my foot file covered in a layer of dust; of depriving my heels of much-needed moisturiser. We can get away with it in winter (although we shouldn’t…
