I’ve always liked Lancôme’s skincare products. Since they’re a little more expensive I tend to buy when they’re on special. There are two offers on at the moment for those of you who are interested. 1. You can get a Lancôme Best of Beauty kit or €46 when you spend €35...

I’m a big fan of Lush products – accessible, pretty, animal friendly, green… it’s all good. I have been using Sugar Scrub from Lush for the past few weeks, thought I’d share my thoughts.     Sugar Scrub is a vegan friendly product and has a herbal lavenderish...

It’s that time of year again – I embraced my fair skin all Winter but now that it’s Spring I’m starting to think about a little bit of colour. I can’t stress the ‘little bit’ enough. I have been trying out St Tropez’s new Dark Instant Glow Body Lotion...

I know that like me many of you are addicted to Carmex. It’s a good-ol-reliable sort of product. I was happy to hear that Carmex have launched a mint version. I got my hands on some last week and I’ve been using it every day. In fact, I’ve been smearing it on multiple times a day...

I know that many of my readers are young uns’ and are probably trying to make their few bob stretch for Mother’s Day (3rd of April). Well I got my hands on this adorable bath ballistic from Lush that costs less that €5. So if you’re on a tight budget and thinking of picking up a...

I recently blogged about my interest in Lush’s Little Green Bag for St Patrick’s Day and I promised when I received the goodies I would post some photos and my initial thoughts. So here I go :) Lush Little Green Bag   Inside the little green bag…   Each Peach...

Time for a favourites video! I haven’t recorded one in a few months and I have changed things up quite a bit since then. It’s quite long but I didn’t want to just say the name of the product and show it to the camera, I thought it would be more useful if I explained briefly why they...

I was lucky enough to have access to Yon-ka products as a teenager thanks to the family business but those days are long gone. I loved their products. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the brand – they make botanical based skin care products, most of which have a distinctive essential...

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 recently raved about Mil’s organic Béalghrá lipbalms. Since I loved them so much I was sent some of their other balms to try. I was delighted to try more products from the Irish brand so here is my honest opinion on their body balm. One of the products Mil are most proud of is Spéirbhean...

Can I buy myself a little pressie for St Patrick’s Day? I have my eye on Lush’s Little Green Bag, uh oh! I wonder what my obsession with gift sets is. The set contains Jungle Conditioner (55g) Squeeky Green Shampoo Bar (55g) Sugar Scrub (50g) Sea Vegetable Soap (100g) Each...

If you’re like me you might be looking for ideas for Mother’s Day. I came across this great bargain and thought I would share. The Body Shop have Pampering Vouchers for just €20. For this price your mum gets One eyebrow threading One facial treatment One makeover *Vouchers...

Katy Perry is the new face of Proactive. She announced on Twitter recently that she puts her clear skin down to their products. I have never tried any of their products so I’m afraid I can’t offer my tuppence worth this time around. If you have tried anything from their range please...

Although I’m an advocate of green skin care, I tend not to go for the green option when it comes to deodorant. I have tried quite a few natural and organic products so I thought it might be a good idea to share my experiences with you. Most of us have heard about the dangers associated with...

Last week I embarked on a week long skin clearing trial, on my own accord. I have some acne on my chin which is driving me mad and at this stage I would try just about anything. Anything natural that is. I chose to try Works With Water Clear Skin which is sold in Boots here. I have already talked...
