Review | Onsen Purifying Facial Peel

While shopping at Westfield Shepherd's Bush during my last visit to London, I was introduced to the skin care brand Onsen. I had never heard of the brand before but the beauty blogger in me was intrigued by the prospect of a new brand and curious to find out more, I let Danielle, the brand representative, show me some of their products. While she applied a little of the Purifying Facial Peel...

Review | Born Pretty Store Gel Nail Polish (new line)

Born Pretty Store have once again introduced a new line of gel nail polishes and they have kindly sent me one of them to review. The new gel polishes come in a square shaped bottle with a black cap and a completely opaque, white bottom part. The only downside to this packaging is that you don't know what colour the polish is and how much is left in the bottle. I used the silver...

Monthly Favourites | January

Ok so I know we're in the middle of February but I still want to share with you my favourite products from last month as there are quite a few new products that I want to share with you all. Starting off with the KIKO Lip Scrub which so far has bee the best one I have ever used. It is gentle enough to be used everyday and keeps lips feeling soft and supple. I prefer to use it before going to bed...

Review | Milani Rose Powder Blush 03 Warm Petals

Hello everyone :) Today I wanted to share with you a recent favourite blush of mine, the Milani Rose Powder Blush in 03 Warm Petals. I wanted a bronze toned blush that is still more subtle than a bronzer and this seemed like it ticks all the boxes. The embossed rose pattern and my previous experience with using Milani blushes always being positive, fuelled my decision to get this blush. Although...

My experience on Elle TV

A couple of weeks ago, thanks to a very good friend of mine, I was invited to take part in a local television programme, Elle TV on Net Television. The programme focuses on fashion and beauty and each week a theme is chosen and tackled in the programme - for this week it was the white tie dress code. Needless to say, I was thrilled to be part of this whole experience and on the day, I made...

Review | Born Pretty Store Transparent Stamper

Finally, all stamping nail art problems have been answered!! If you are familiar with stamping, you would know that one of the biggest issues with this nail art technique is the difficulty of knowing where you are placing an image on your nails, because it is kind of hard to see when using a fully opaque stamper. Thankfully, Born Pretty Store have a new stamper in...

Event | Introducing Teoxane Cosmeceuticals

Last week, I had the pleasure to attend an introductory presentation about award winning anti-aging skin care brand Teoxane Cosmeceuticals. I knew the brand would spark my interest as skin care backed by actual scientific research is right up my alley, and I wasn't disappointed! Upon arriving, we were greeted by Claire and Dorianne as well as sushi rolls and a glass of Prosecco...

January Collective Beauty Haul

I have been very good at sticking to my clothes buying ban this month but not so much when it comes to makeup - I did buy a few new things to add to my collection, because you know, I don't have this and I don't have that in my overflowing makeup drawers. I placed an order on the KIKO website as they were on sale and you know how it goes, I 'needed' a few things. I got a CC Blur Skin Trainer...

OOTD | Cocktail Hour

What better way to celebrate a birthday than a Sunday afternoon sipping cocktails with the celebrated and their friends? That is exactly how me and the Mister spent our Sunday afternoon and I really enjoyed taking my time to do my makeup and pick an outfit for the occasion. I wanted to wear something chic and comfy as the weather is still on the cooler side at the moment so I opted for my favourite...
