The Exit Interview Series | Volume #31

Earlier this month, I had a look through the samples I have accumulated and started using some of them. Consequently, I will be sharing quite a few new discoveries in mini sample format :) I will start with skin care first. The Montagne Jeunesse face mask is a common appearance so I will not spend a lot of time on it. This particular one is one of my favourites which I repurchase from time...

April Collective Haul

Hi my name is Lara and I am a shopaholic...   I have been very naughty (read extremely naughty) this month to make up for last month's lack of shopping :P Hey who can blame me with all the fabulous new collections gracing shop displays and River Island emails finding their way to my inbox?!   Speaking of River Island, I have placed two rather large orders on their website this...

Review | Planter's Natural & Young Aloe Vera Repairing Cream

When taken care of, the skin can belie our age. This holds especially true for the skin on our hands, hence the importance of adequate moisturizing can never be over emphasised.   Due to the nature of my work which requires handling of chemicals, wearing gloves for a long time and constant washing, my hands are very prone to getting dry and sometimes, there maybe signs of cracks and redness...
