Another bin full of beauty empties this month! First up is a trial size from one of the skincare brands that's really making me sit up and take notice, it's Murad's Rapid Collagen Infusion.

It seems like a long time since I last wrote about any Vichy products - which is odd really as Vichy is a brand that I always return to for quality, reliability and purse friendliness. Also, while I've been busy reviewing products from other brands I haven't had the updates that I used to get… Continue reading Vichy Aqualia Thermal – Review

For the past few weeks I've been trialling the Skin Perfect Primer and the Overnight Repair Serum from the Dermalogica Skin Perfecting Set.
