My Best of 2024: Leonor Greyl hair care

Leonor Greyl products, boxed and bagged

Investing in Leonor Greyl shampoo, hair oil and treatment spray has enabled me to make my peace with age related hair changes. As I write this, it’s exactly one year since my first encounter with Leonor Greyl Hair Expert Masa. Masa was in store at The French Pharmacy to introduce the brand and give customers […]

Fancy Lipstick Review – La Bouche Rouge

I got lucky at a sample sale and bought some fancy lipstick from French brand La Bouche Rouge I have been intrigued by La Bouche Rouge for a while now, unsurprising given my fondness for red lipstick, and any bit of passing ooh-la-la that allows me to indulge in a #BeMoreFrench moment.  Imagine my delight […]

5 Sheer Reds – Just in Time for Summer

My favorite lipstick wore down until I was scraping my lip flat across the edge of the tube to apply it. It was time to get a new one. A few weeks of digging with a Q-tip (that also does double duty as fuzzy lip wand) to get the last remaining bit out, and after […]

The LEGO Money Tree – beautiful and practical

The LEGO Money Tree is a fun and easy way to bring a bit of good fortune into your home decor I have mentioned previously that I find Chinese Metaphysics very interesting. My preferred source on all Feng Shui and Bazi wisdom, Master Joey Yap, scorns waving cats and other ornamental Feng Shui cures. I […]

WELEDA BIRCH Body Scrub and Cellulite Oil: REVIEW

WELEDA BIRCH Body Scrub and Cellulite Oil close up. Products packaged in bright green livery. both are well used. The tube of Body Scrub is squeezed and depleted, the bottle of oil is half-empty

These products offer a quick and easy route to baby-soft skin. The WELEDA Birch Scrub delivers gentle but highly satisfying exfoliation. The Birch Cellulite Oil seals in that soft, clean skin feeling and adds a layer of gleam and scent without being too sticky or heavy. They work effectively on their own; in perfect harmony when used together.

L’Occitane En Provence OIL-TO-MILK Facial Make-up Remover: REVIEW

A full bottle of L'Occitane en Provence Oil to Milk Facial make-up remover stands on a desk next to the bag it was brought home in. Both the bag and the contents of the bottle are a bright, golden yellow colour. Light hitting the bottle casts shadows on the bag.

L’Occitane En Provence OIL-TO-MILK facial make-up remover brings a little hit of Provençal sunshine to the greyest of winter days. It occurred to me last year that whilst I spend a lot of time encouraging myself and others to #BeMoreFrench, I tend to direct my attention towards Paris, rather than the regions. Determined to correct […]

Three bottles of BIODERMA Sensibio H2O eye photographed at product launch. Under the lights, the bottle caps are very pink, the contents very blue.

BIODERMA launch Sensibio H2O eye
I was very much hoping (and to be honest, expecting) that this biphase micellar waterproof makeup remover would hit the same standard of excellence that I have come to expect from BIODERMA, enabling me to add one more top-quality eye makeup remover to my routine.

BIODERMA are one of my most trusted skincare brands

Rodial instaglam Review

Rodial instaglam skin tint and Rodial instaglam magic pen corrector
