I bought this in August 2012 on the ferry on the way to Wacken. One of the reasons I went for this at the time, was it felt beautiful when I was testing all the lotions and potions on the boat. Anyway, I had been saving this for a little while as I already had thousands of moisturisers open but about 6 months ago, I thought I would try this out. I have been using this weekly on and off…

I have been all over the magazine freebies this month, I got 3/4 of the L’Occitane hand creams with Marie Claire, I picked up another Eyeko Skinny Mini eyeliner from Glamour, and this morning I picked up this mini REN skincare trio with Instyle! The mini set includes Evercalm Gentle Cleaning Milk, Vita mineral Active 7 Eye Gel and Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream and is worth £12 so a real bargain! My main reason for grabbing it (other than only costing £2!) was…

I’ll admit it was the burlesque-ey boudoir design that drew me in being the shallow creature that I am, but the fragrance certainly lived up to it’s gorgeous bottle. Described as “The sexiest fragrance you will ever wear” with “fruity and tempting accords of passion fruit, pear and bergamot. Magnolia in the heart is infused with peach and peony. The base includes golden amber, musk and sweet woods.” It is very light at first with a definite fruity aroma, but…

This is a mask that I haven’t used in a while but before gig day tomorrow, I felt it was appropriate to bring a little pampering into my Friday evening! This Warming Mineral Mask is the perfect mask for a dull, miserable day/evening. It doesn’t set and dry hard, however it warms when rubbed…

It’s rather handy to have a different skin type to your best friend. I have very greasy skin and Amie very dry so when freebies or bonuses come our way we can have a nice switch-around. I am now the happy owner of the Nip + Fab Shine Fix, Nip + Fab Dry Hand Fix, Avon Naturals Lilly and Gardenia Body Whip and a little sample of The Body Shop warming mineral mask. I want to give the Shine Fix…

I’m always on the hunt for a great black eyeshadow, it’s a pretty big staple in the “rock chic make-up supplies list” yet I’ve never found one that I really got on with. This however is looking like it ticks nearly all the boxes! Ebony is a pressed matte black with micro glitter. It is very heavily pigmented and even more so when swatched over primer. It has a lovely soft texture and blends really nicely so would be great…

When the preview pictures of the theme for the October Glossybox went up, I was so, so excited – Dark Romance – all thoughts of smoky eyes and deep reds and purples, but the actual box seems to bear little in way of the theme and I have to say is my least favourite since subscribing. Katy Perry Killer Queen EDP The first thing I noticed was the perfume sample that I already received in the Sept/Oct Miss Glossybox.…

This has been one of my favourite facemasks for ages but I’ve had to do without as it was omitted from the brochures and online for a while. Then suddenly I found an unopened tube in the back of my facemask drawer – hurrah! These tubes last a really long time as I find you only need a very thin layer, as opposed to the sachets where you have to use it all in one go. It works great at…

I did a little squee when I took a look at this month’s magazine freebies. L’Occitane hand creams are my absolute favourite and there were three limited edition fragrances on offer (and the original dry skin hand cream which is the best hand cream ever!) I went for the “rose tenderness”, but I will keep my eye out for the other two limited options “subtle violet” and “jasmine passion” They really are the most amazing hand creams, and you…
