(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) Oh blimey, the summer’s almost over (the air was distinctly autumnal when I went out to feed the chickens this morning) (most twattish thing I’ve ever written)…
This Eucerin Eye Cream has been mentioned many times over the past couple of years, but it’s never had its own review page. And seeing as though it can be relatively difficult to find good eye products with added sunscreen,…
It’s been over a year since my first (and last) “seasonal” skincare update, so that idea for a regular feature worked out well, didn’t it? Why do I have such an aversion to my own deadlines? I can spend three hours…
I feel as though I’ve almost written an entire review on this sunscreen already, but as the mentions are dotted about in different posts I thought I’d collate all of the information into one neat review. Because this CeraVe Facial…
I’m being rather slow on the whole sunscreen-testing thing, aren’t I? In truth, I have made extensive notes on dozens of sun creams – all tried very carefully and objectively – but my written reviews are, for some reason, slow…

Darphin have two brand new additions to their Lumiere Essentielle skincare range and they are absolutely gorgeous. Luxe-feeling, sweet-smelling and perfect for the summer months. There’s a micellar cleanser, light in texture but rich in beautiful essential oils, and a…
I picked up this not-insubstantial bottle of face-cleansing oil for two pounds. Two pounds! Granted, it was on offer (this was last year, I’ve never seen it as cheap since) but even at the full retail price of £6.99, it’s…
Most of you know that my love affair with acid exfoliants – in particular glycolic acid – is fairly long-standing. I like the ease with which an AHA exfoliant (for that is what it is, if you want the fancy…
Here’s a very effective and affordable face treat for you, if you’re after something light, hydrating and sensibly formulated. Suitable for sensitive, itchy or very dry skin (as well as skin with no particular complaints), CeraVe’s Moisturising Lotion comes in…
There’s an ongoing argument about eye creams in the beauty world; some believe them to be utterly pointless and instead of making the separate investment simply use their existing facial serum and moisturiser right up to and around the eye…
