When Elle Macpherson (aka 'The Body') turned 50 earlier this year, everyone wanted to know what her secret to her ever youthful looks were.  Being the savvy business woman that she is, she opened up and launched The Super Elixir, the creme de la creme of green wholefood supplements.

Currently Loving: Zoya Renew Polish Rejuvenator review

Thursday 14 August 2014

A picture of  Zoya Renew Polish Rejuvenator
Nail Polish was the main beauty item that I collected before I started blogging, and now I have amassed quite the collection.  Despite my best intentions however, I am guilty of neglecting some of my stash which easily leads to some polishes becoming a bit thick and gloopy.  Which is where Zoya's Renew Polish Rejuvenator comes into play.

Worth The Hype? La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo [+] review

Wednesday 13 August 2014

When the original Effaclar Duo by La Roche Posay was being talked about on the blogosphere, I thought it would be the answer to all of my blemish problems.  Sadly it did nothing for me, but after reading several rave reviews and a personal recommendation from a friend about the new and improved [+] formula, I decided to give it another go.

Review & Swatches: Lavera Illuminating Eyeshadow Quattro in Indian Dream & Glossy Lips in Rosy Sorbet

Monday 11 August 2014

A picture of Lavera Illuminating Eyeshadow Quattro in Indian Dream & Glossy Lips in Rosy Sorbet
I've often spoken about Lavera's lovely bath and bodycare lines, but I don't think their makeup gets nearly enough credit as it should.  To remedy this, I've reviewed two favourites from their current cosmetics range.

You may remember that earlier this year, I reviewed a delicious 'Candy Floss' scented candle from the quirky brand, Flamingo Candles.  Well, the same company have recently released an equally delicious sounding range of 'High Tea' scents which include this scrummy Macaroon & Almond flavour.

Summer is without a doubt my favourite season of the year (I wish I could live somewhere sunny all year round, I really do!) but all that humidity can wreak havoc with your hair.  So if your hair is currently re-enacting that scene with Monica from Friends, this is the post for you.

If you're an avid fan of watching makeup tutorials or just a regular reader of beauty blogs, you'll no doubt be familiar with the cult MAC 217 brush, which is held up as possibly the best eyeshadow blending brush in the industry.  This review however looks at a much more budget friendly dupe from Bdellium Tools which retails for a fraction of the price.

Tuesday 5 August 2014

A picture of NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder in Sunny
When I was looking for a budget friendly bronzer from the drugstore/highstreet, there was only really one that's been recommended to me countless times.  Oddly enough, because it's so cheap, I stayed away from it for the longest time thinking that it couldn't possibly be as good as everyone says it is.
