Having pretty soaps, hand washes and lotions is one of life’s little pleasures, so as soon as I spotted this lovely glass bottle hand wash and lotion set from Marks & Spencer, I knew it would be perfect for our shabby chic style bathroom. From the La Maison De Senteurs range which offers a range of soft scents, I chose Fleur d’Orangia – a delectable combination of sweet orange and petitgrain which leaves hands…
Hair Decisions
(My various hair colours & lengths over the last few years) I’m in a bit of a hair predicament. I’m stuck in a hair rut and I’m wondering whether to dare to try something a bit different or stick with my trusted style. I’m tempted to try something a little shorter as I’ve always had long locks (the shortest I’ve gone for years was for our wedding when I had…

This has to be the most…
L’Occitane Pivoine Delicate Lipstick
When this lipstick from the new L’Occitane Pivoine Limited Edition Collection dropped through my letterbox, it was love at first sight. I absolutely adore everything about this lipstick. The pastel pink textured cardboard packaging (which has been imprinted with the peony flower which the collection is based upon) is divine – and it’s home to the most beautiful soft pink lipstick I have ever come across.

I Love… Cosmetics
I’m a huge fan of Philosophy bath products. In fact, I currently have 10 bottles sitting in my bathroom in an array of delicious scents. As much as I love them, they’re expensive for something which is just going to be washed down the drain so I like to have some cheap and cheerful shower gels on hand so I don’t spend a fortune on washing myself. When I was…

One of the four new shades in Clarins Colour Breeze Spring Makeup Collection, Poppy Red has everything I was looking for in…

I was recently offered a sample of Skintopia Skin Belief Face Serum, which claims to revitalise skin and reduce fine lines and under…
