Kiehls Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion (250ml/ £16.50) "This unique formulation has been created for use after shaving or on oily prone areas." As I have blemish prone skin I love it when I find something that really helps so I thought I'd share my thoughts about this today. Now I do not use this everyday as it is really strong and very drying...

Mac Mineralise Skin Finish Natural

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (£23/ 10g) I have actually used this way back in the day and completely forgot about it but since everyone raves about it I put it on my Christmas list and Santa complied. Of course, being a powder there isn't much to say but I thought I'd say it anyway. This is a really finely milled, feather light powder...

Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser

Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser SPF 30 (£29/ 50ml). I recently picked this up because I had heard about it a lot and thought it was about time I owned a tinted moisturiser, I was a bit scared to be honest because I didn't know wether I would like it or if the coverage would be enough for me but I actually love...

Empties: Hair & Body

I thought I'd split my empties into categories from now on (if there are loads) because it's quite hard to keep these type of posts short and sweet, hopefully this will work out a bit better, so this is the Hair & Body category and Make Up & Skincare will be up soon. VO5 Give Me Texture I bought this in hope it...

Avène Eau Thermale Micellar Lotion

Avene Micellar Lotion (£13/ 200ml) I can't believe I have never reviewed this. It's the best Micellar water that I have tried so I can't believe it's taken me this long to talk about it, I'm sure I have mentioned it in favourites and empties before but just a few words on why I love it. Firstly obviously it cleans of all my...

Mac Prep + Prime Highlighter

Mac Prep + Prime Highlighter in Light Boost (£18.50/ 3.6ml) I'm not hugely into the whole contour movement, I don't paint half my face one colour and the other half another or anything crazy like that (if I had the time or patience, sure) but I do like certain elements of it, I like a dab of contour cream or a bit of...

Benefit Roller Lash

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara (£19.50) This months ELLE magazine gave me a free sample so I have been trying it out over the past few weeks and I really like it, it's very similar to the famous "They're Real" in that it defines and separates really well. This mascara is designed to curl lashes and to keep that curl in place for 12...

Burberry Effortless Eyebrow Definer

Burberry Effortless Eyebrow Definer, No. 02 Sepia (£22.50) This is extremely like the Hourglass Arch, with a flat chiselled tip at one end and a spooly at the other. I ordered this to find out if I might prefer this over the Hourglass version, the outcome... No. I much prefer the burberry packaging as it is smaller, sleeker and actually fits in my...

Aesop Control Gel Review

Aesop Control Gel (£15/ 9ml). I picked up this Aesop Control gel after Christmas so I thought it was time to give you my thoughts. So it comes in a tiny metal tube which is great for hygiene and travel purposes, it is a clear gel, quite thick and sticky in consistency, smells very pleasant for a spot treatment, not chemically but zesty...

& Other Stories, The Rings

I have been wanting to do a post praising & Other Stories for their jewellery collection for months now, and this is finally it, although I have chosen to concentrate on their rings, they are my weakness for sure. Really I just wanted to show my collection because I love them and I wear them all the time, plus I just recently picked...

Victoria Beckham/ Nails Inc

I was lucky enough to recieve one of the limited Victoria Beckham for Nails Inc polishes (£25/ 14ml) for Christmas and I thought it was about time I reviewed it for you guys. So firstly I chose the shade Bamboo White which is a really pretty pale beige colour, even though I loved the red too, I knew I would get more use...

I have been trying to be good after Christmas and not spend too much money on new things while I use up what I already have, but of course I have picked up a few bits and got some nice freebies lately too so I thought I'd just do a quick post to share them. & Other Stories rings are my weakness, I...
