It's time to hunker down, get cosy and pamper yourself. You can do that in a spa - plenty of deal on 5pm Spa and Beauty - or you can do it at home, with some lovely autumnal body products. I love the new The Body Shop Vanilla Pumpkin range, which includes this fab Body Butter (£15) which is infused with Madagascan vanilla and the aroma of roasted pumpkins but be quick, it's selling fast! The Body Shop's Thai Makrut Lime Firming Oil (£18) is … [Read more...]
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It doesn't seem to be as big a thing as it once was in the beauty world, but there are products out there, and one of the nicest landed on my desk earlier this month. The Bobbi Brown Limited Edition Proud To Be Pink Lip Color Duo is available this month, and £5 from every sale will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Bobbi Brown is part of the Lauder group, and it was Evelyn H Lauder … [Read more...]

I just love autumn. The colours are great, you get to be super-wrapped up, and super-cosy, the nights draw in, and there's Hallowe'en and Bonfire Night. What's not to love?! There are also loads of lovely products that are autumnal out there, so here are a few of my absolute faves for this season. I've been stepping away from the red lip for the first time in years, and experimenting with nudes, and different colours. I've also finally … [Read more...]
Autumn is the most colourful of the seasons - all those gorgeous rusts, ochres, yellows, oranges and reds. Are you feeling dull yet? Maybe it's time to bring some autumn magic to your hair with a new colour? You might fancy a full head tint, a peachy surprise, an auburn change, or you might want to try balayage, or foil colour. Whatever way you want to change your hair for the autumn season, you can do it with a deal from 5pm Spa and … [Read more...]
I love hibernating at this time of year, don't you? And if you're going to be in your home for any length of time you want it to cosy and comfortable, right? The new L'Occitane Home range will do just that - and there's a fragrance for whatever mood you're in, or state of mind you want to be in. There are four ranges - Cocon de Sérénité (Relaxing), Source d'Harmonie (Harmony), Souffle de Liberté (Revitalizing), and Douceur Immortelle … [Read more...]
If it's good enough for a Kardashian promo shoot, then it's good enough for us! Carter Beauty by Marissa Carter made headlines earlier this year when the budget Irish beauty brand's foundation was used in the KUWTK promo shots for season 16. When it comes to foundations, you don't really have to spend loads, unless you want some all-singing, all-dancing, multi-tasker - and let's be honest, most foundations are good to your skin these days … [Read more...]
Who wouldn't want to look like Angelina Joli? Well, now you can...kind of! You can look like Maleficent anyway at least, thanks to MAC who celebrate Disney's most wickedly beautiful villain with everything you need to recreate her iconic look. The new Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie is out on October 18, a long-awaited sequel to the 2014 hit. The classic Maleficent look is perfect for Halloween, and simple to achieve with just a few … [Read more...]
I'm never sure how I feel about direct selling companies, having had some pretty awful reactions to, and interactions with, Arbonne in the past. I had never heard of MONAT until recently. American, they've been trading for five years and started as a haircare company. They recently branched out into skincare, and it's been a massive hit, apparently. It's a fairly all-encompassing line, catering to the needs of all customers, regardless of … [Read more...]
REN launched the Perfect Canvas Clean Primer last month, and if you are in the market for a new primer, then this one is worth a look. It's weightless, silicone-free, and doesn't sit on the skin like some do, but sinks in beautifully upon application. You only need a couple of drops, and you should massage it in until fully absorbed, after your moisturiser and SPF, before applying your makeup. Ensure full-face coverage for best … [Read more...]
