When I heard that Kylie Minogue and make-up artist Karen Adler were raving about Argan457 Metaserum I needed to check them out. For those of you who haven’t heard of the brand basically it’s all about top notch Argan oil products. I have been using the Long Lasting Eye Contour and Elixir...

I have found the best anti-ageing treatment ever! Tall order, I know. I recently popped into Akina Beauty for an Image 4-Layer Facial. I was greeted by the lovely Evelyn who took me through the treatment.  It consisted of mild acid peels (more information below) which are applied 4 times during the...

As soon as I heard that Kate Hudson is a fan of Egyptian Magic Skin Cream I had to try it. Besides the fact that I love that woman I would also die to have skin even half as pretty as hers. Sure, she has beauticians and dermatologists at her finger tips. Since that’s not attainable for most of...

St Tropez have launched a new product for the face this season. If you’re like me and you’re paranoid about ageing but still want a light tan this one may be of interest to you. I’ve been using SPF50 High Protection for Face with Tan Enhancer. According to the sales blurb it… offers...

Yes, I’ve changed my skincare routine again. I’m fickle when it comes to skincare products. I tend to find a routine that works for me and I use it until my skin plateaus and then try something else. I recorded a video sharing my current favourites. My skin has improved ten fold.   What...

If  you’re a regular reader than you have probably heard me harping on about Voya before. For those of you who haven’t heard of them, they’re an Irish skincare company based in Sligo that use hand harvested seaweed in their products. I have raved about their Totally Balmy Cleansing...

I’m going through a bit of a cleanser addiction lately. I love trying new cleansers. Maybe it’s because my skin rarely reacts to cleanser, moisturiser testing on the other hand can be treacherous :) This week I have been using Nutriganics Softening Cleansing Gel from The Body Shop. It’s...

Avon have put together anti-ageing kits which claim to rejuvinate your skin in two weeks. I got my hands on the Anew Rejuvenate Kit – Skin Revitalising 14 Day System. This kit is aimed at those in their thirties, Ok so I’m a few years shy of the thirty mark but they don’t sell one...

I have been using Lancome Rénergie Yeux Multiple Lift for 4 weeks now and I’m a happy lady. What is it? Essentially it’s an eye cream and concealer duo. It claims to provide a firmer eye contour, minimise crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles, diminished dark circles, reduced under...

Next on my testing list is Lancôme Renergie Yeux Multiople Lift. I will be testing it on myself but since I have minimal eye aging issues, for now, a friend of mine who hates her crows feet , darkness and puffiness will also be testing the product.     This is a double formula treatment...

I have meaning to record a video on skincare for dry, sensitive skin for ages. I have always had combination skin but this Winter I became a member of the dehydrated, thin skin club.. woo hoo (dripping with sarcasm). I have finally found a routine that has calmed my irritated parts, toned down the...

I received an email from a reader last week requesting a post on stretch marks. I may be in my twenties but I have a few run-ins with blasted stretch marks over the years, most of which occurred during my early teenage years. I have done much research over the years and tried just about everything...

You probably know by now that I’m a fan of Yes to Carrots. I was happy to hear that have launched an anti-ageing range called Yes to Blueberries, age-refresh.  The range has been created to fight the signs of ageing by improving skin firmness and diminishing fine lines. “Yes to Blueberries...

I have had quite a bit of redness going on this Winter. Thanks to some breakouts and the harsh weather I have had a red chin for months. I have always been dubious about anti-redness products but I decided to try Roc Calmance Intolerence Repairing Cream which claims to reduce redness and irritation. I...

I have been buying La Roche Posay facial sun creams for years. They absorb quickly and offer a complete block so they’re perfect for my skin. A few months ago I picked up La Roche-Posay Anthelios Stick SPF 50+ recently and thought I’d share.   The stick is perfect for skiing....
