is lixir skin worth the hype? universal emulsion, vitamin c paste, and electrogel cleanser review

Being the basic bitch that I am, I'm a sucker for millennial pink. So the sleek colour scheme and packaging of Lixir Skin, plus a tempting ingredient list, drew me in.

perfect natural lip plumper and smoother: odacité aventurine kiss lip serum


perfect natural lip plumper and smoother: odacité aventurine kiss lip serum

Although I'm not crazy about lip plumping (I can't ever see myself getting lip injections--not least because they seem too painful!), I do love having a plump pout.

What's even better than a perfect pout? One that's nourished with antioxidants and smoothed with vitamin c. Odacité have somehow managed to roll all of that into one...

my morning glow-givers from make p:rem, odacité, and by terry

Even as a skincare & beauty blogger, I never used to really understand the point of cleansing and toning in the morning. I think that's because I never saw a huge benefit from it--and I like to see real results from the skincare products I use, invest in, and recommend to you guys.

But in the past couple years, my skin has gone through some pretty big changes (hello, super-late twenties!) and it has become more oily and sensitive, not to mention my struggles with rosacea. These products have become firm staples in my routine because they hydrate, soothe, and give me that glow that I constantly crave.

the drugstore mask that's a total glossier dupe: sukin hydrating facial mask

sukin hydrating facial mask review glossier moon mask dupe



I've been a long-time fan of the Glossier Moisturizing Moon Mask. It's hydrating, soothing, and glow-giving. And just as I was nearing the end of my little blue and white pot of goodness, I received some PR samples from Sukin* in the post. And what should I find but a total dupe for the Glossier Moisturizing Moon Mask. Best of all: it's only £11 and you can pick it up at Boots! It's the Sukin Hydrating Facial Mask.

the sheet mask that's a total steal: the creme shop honey & lavender fusion sheet mask

So if anyone was watching my Instastories last night, you'll know that I stayed up wayyyy too late drinking prosecco and binge-watching The Sinner whilst my husband was out.

As a result, my skin is a weird mixture of dry and spotty today, so I'm breaking out my favourite new sheet mask: Th…

worth the hype? tatcha luminous dewy skin mist

Today's post is a quick "worth-the-hype" on a long-time blogger favourite: the Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist.

When I was home for Christmas, I made far too many trips to Sephora (thanks, makeup addiction) and while the result was that I finally got upgraded to VIB Rouge (it's th…

french pharmacy finds you've probably never heard of, part 1

I was lucky enough to be seconded to a university in Paris for my work and have therefore lived in Paris. I absolutely love the city (although it's not as romantic as everyone thinks--it's much more grimy and real, and once you accept that, it becomes even more magical).

One thing I learne…

my top tips for running with rosacea

Living with rosacea can be tough, especially if you love running. I'm not an amazing runner by any means, but I do have a 5k under my belt. And I find that running really helps me to maintain a healthy mind and to appreciate the beautiful place I live in.

The one thing is that running, or any …
