Cult Beauty Wishlist
Cult Beauty is hands-down my favourite online beauty retailer – I often spend hours browsing the site, wishing I was a millionaire/still based in London so that I could get my hands on their expertly curated products. These are some of the items currently on my wishlist… iBeauty Skin Brush 21 I am most intrigued by this new style of brush that seems to be taking the makeup world by storm, aren’t you? I never thought I would find myself coveting something which looks like a ginormous toothbrush, but it turns out that I do! These densely packed synthetic fiber bristles promise to buff…
The Great Foundation Audit
By now, you’re no doubt aware that I’m a bit of a hoarder. I’ve been meaning to clear out my foundation drawer for a while now, so when I watched Anna’s “Makeup Declutter” video I was finally inspired to trawl through it and identify the good, the bad and the long ago expired… What I use every day You’ll notice two common denominators in my everyday base products: they’re all lightweight and they’re all from the drugstore.

Environ Alpha Hydroxy Cream This is the latest addition to my Environ arsenal and I am very much enjoying it. I wanted to incorporate more exfoliation into my routine, so my facialist, Nina, recommended that I start using the Alpha Hydroxy Cream two/three nights a week. It contains a combination of fruit acids to help promote the skin’s natural exfoliation process, and it’s suitable for problem and sensitive skins (mine) as it decongests without irritation. I have been using it twice a week for the past three months or so, and I’m really pleased with the results: I do feel like…
5 Things I’m Testing This Week
The PR samples are piling up on my desk at the moment so this week I’m going to make a concerted effort to put a few of them through their paces. I’m busy testing the new Restylane skincare range too but that will take me a few weeks to assess, but I should be able to give you my opinion on these products in a shorter timeframe. Look out for a mini review on Instagram next week: TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Range One of the newest releases from this super-affordable brand is “a revolutionary new reverse wash haircare system, formulated for…
