Last week my friend Justine sent me this message: “One word my friend: Dermapen”. I hadn’t the faintest idea what Dermapen was or how it worked, so I sent her a barrage of messages filled with questions. After getting the scoop on the miracle worker that is Dermapen, I asked Justine if she would be willing to write a guest post and she gladly obliged. She was even happy to send us some before and after pictures – what a champ! Take it away, Justine…
On 8 April 2014 I will be making my way to America for the very first time, and boy oh BOY am I excited! My boyfriend and I are starting with Coachella, followed by a glorious road trip to San Francisco, and ending off with a couple of days in LA – bliss! But besides the sights and sounds of California, there is something even more spectacular coming my way: SEPHORA. Aaah yes, the hallowed isles of Sephora, packed to the brim with much-coveted beauty goodies…forget Disneyland, Sephora is the happiest place on earth. It goes without saying that I…
Revlon has just launched a new range of chubby lip pencils in two different finishes; Matte Balms (velvet) and Lacquer Balms (glossy). Here is a quick review of the four shades that I bought… You might want to watch until the end. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

I haven’t always been a huge fan of Angelina Jolie but in the past few years she has really softened her look and…
I hope you enjoyed Part One. Let’s get cracking with Part Two…
I’ve recently bought a couple (ahem…a lot) of new products and I wanted to do a little show and tell for you. Four of the most expensive products were actually bought for me by my boyfriend (so you can relax, Mom), but I wanted to include them in this post because they are life-changingly amazing. I’ve had to split this post into two parts because of the volume of products, so here we go with Part One…
My friend Sergio hooked me up big time by managing to convince the lovely people at Loading Bay to sell me one of their famous Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque’s before the official launch date (which I think is still set for June 2014). This clay-based masque is suitable for all skin types, but works particularly well on dry and/or sensitive skins – ding, ding, ding, jackpot! Aesop uses both plant-based and laboratory-made ingredients of the highest quality – particularly those with high quantities of anti-oxidants. This mask contains, amongst other things, purified clay to draw out impurities, aloe vera to ensure…
