February was a funny old month and I hardly used up anything so I thought it was worthwhile waiting until the end of March to see if I could find a few more gems to write about in an empties post. Well, it was definitely the right thing to do as March was a mega… Continue reading Empties – February/March 2017
Almost forgot to post this! It was only seeing someone tweeting about their January empties that reminded me! Always love doing these posts. First because I'm proud that I've used things up right to the end and not wasted them and second because I want tot ell you what it was about these products amongst… Continue reading Empties – January 2017
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.

Time for a nosey at what I've been using up this month! In fact I'm a little late with this but I'm hoping you won't mind too much. Skinceuticals Metacell Renewal B3 Loved this luxurious emulsion which I used at the serum stage of my skincare routine. I've reviewed it previously here and it's available… Continue reading Empties – July 2016

Andrew Bidwell (the hairdresser behind the brand) started by… Continue reading I learned how to wash my hair!
You may have read a recent post where I wrote about how retailers need to understand their customers' needs and keep up with their changing demands. But when a retailer reached out to me recently with their Summer 2016 press brochure I started to think about some of the potentially powerful messages that it contained… Continue reading How much power do retailers have to effect change?
Do you ever think that you know a brand and then someone asks you more about it and you realise that you don't know much about it at all? Maybe just me? Well that's what happened with me and Caudalie. I'd picked up on it being a French brand (Caudalie Paris) but had never picked up… Continue reading Feeling Grape with Caudalie!
