Following on from our beauty focus on Stila’s skincare range, today we highlight the skincare collection from another American beauty brand, Benefit Cosmetics. Benefit’s skincare packaging is exactly what you would expect of the brand and has an almost nautical feel to it with gorgeous aqua green glass bottles and jars with cork look lids - a gorgeous addition to any bathroom shelf. The … [Read more...]
Stila is a hugely successful cosmetic brands beloved by many a beauty junkie. Originating in America, it boasts numerous cult products, kitsch packaging, clever names for their colour collections and offers helpful advice to customers as to the most on-trend way to apply their products. They recently decided to enter unchartered territory by launching a skincare collection to ensure that their … [Read more...]
When I was asked to test this spot treatment product I immediately wondered how I was going to manage it as my skin was completely blemish-free at the time. But then, like clockwork I developed a red throbbing painful pimple on my temple and another one on the left hand side of my jawline. I wasn’t sure whether to curse the skin gods or praise them for landing this product in my lap so I decided … [Read more...]
I don’t know anybody who hasn’t suffered from contact dermatitis at some point in their life. Even those without sensitive skin have found themselves having a reaction to something. When a breakout occurs the first things usually blamed are changing your detergent or some new foodstuff that you tried. The one thing I would never have considered as a cause is my nail polish! However, it … [Read more...]
I am a big fan of rose extracts and oils as an ingredient in beauty products and I had heard great things about Ziaja, a Polish company producing skin and hair care products based on natural ingredients. Therefore I was very excited to try this out and it didn’t disappoint. The simple packaging belies the lovely product within. The first thing that strikes you is the beautiful scent. If you … [Read more...]
Have your cake and wear it! I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like cupcakes or macaroons, which is probably why MAC choose to draw inspiration from these sweet treats for one of their latest collections, Baking Beauties. With frosting style colours and delicious formulations this is a bang-on trend summer look that is feminine and sweet without being twee. One of the highlights of the … [Read more...]
A recent survey revealed that shaving our legs is most women’s lease favourite beauty chore. It’s not hard to see why. Shaving is a harsh procedure that drags the skin and can be very drying. And who hasn’t suffered those annoying little nicks that look tiny but bleed for what seems like forever! Like everything, your choice of tool can affect your experience and, handy as they may be, … [Read more...]
There are literally thousands of mascaras on the market. It seems there is mascara for everything – to open your eyes, to enhance your eye colour, to lengthen, strengthen, fatten, curl… You name it and there’s a product that claims to do it. However what most people I’ve spoken to want is mascara that does what it says on the tin. They want length and curl and their eyes to pop. It is rare … [Read more...]
I have long been a fan of Dr Hauschka skincare products. They don’t rely on unnecessary preservatives or chemicals and their plant-based products smell delicious and are incredibly gentle on the skin. Hence I was hugely excited when they launched their new range of body washes. I suffer from eczema and soap-based products can be very drying on my skin. Equally, heavily perfumed products can … [Read more...]
The eyes, as ‘they’ say, are the windows to the soul and the first part of your face to show tiredness and ageing. For this reason, if I could bring only one beauty product with me to the proverbial desert island, an eye gel or cream would be it. For the last six months (yes, it lasted that long), I have been using SkinCeuticals AOX Eye Gel once a day. Typically, you should use eye products … [Read more...]
