So, you know know the meme about influencers and skincare right? No? Here it is: In my defence, people actually DID ask my about my skincare routine, and have been doing so for years. That, and makeup. In fact it’s the reason why I started this blog. I love talking about makeup and skincare, but […]

Lancome Absolue Precious Cells Intense Revitalising Day Cream and Recovery Night Cream
I’m a fan of Lancome from way back. If you know me well, then you’ll know my first makeup product I ever bought was a Lancome lipstick when I was 12 years old. The sight of the Lancome rose brings back some happy memories for me and that lipstick was a luxe purchase that I […]
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion – A Miracle for Acne Sufferers
In the last couple of years, makeup has become incredibly popular with well known brands being forced to up their game by little known brands who have challenged them in product and price. The tide is now turning and skincare is coming to the forefront. It’s no secret that your makeup is only as good […]
Virtuous Skincare – Skin Repair Cream
Sometimes when I receive a product to review, it’s easy, I can put it on and tell pretty quickly whether I like it or not, whether it performs with other products and whether it’s worth the blunt. This product was a bit of a long game. Why? Because it claims that it’s a skin repair […]
Lancome Energie De Vie Nuit / Overnight Recovery Sleeping Mask
Every now and then a product will come along that very quickly becomes a staple in your skincare routine. Lancome Energie De Vie Nuit (I’ll just call it the Sleeping Mask from now on lol) is one of those products. It was everything I didn’t know I needed in my skincare routine! And for a […]

Once in a while a product comes into your life and literally changes the game. Pure Fiji Coconut Sugar Rub is one of those products for me. I agree that this is a fairly bold statement from someone that reviews LOTS of products from many different brands, but believe me, it’s that good! Based in […]

Where has the year gone? I can’t believe that May is nearly over and we are now heading into June – half way through the year! It’s been a stressful month with new jobs, illness, accidents with the kids and crazy weather. Helping me on through all of this have been these products below. They […]

I’ve enjoyed a wide range of products over March. My skincare and makeup choices have been a lot more considered during this change of season because my skin tends to go a bit crazy at this time of year. Here’s my list of favorites that have really stood up to the test over March. SKINCARE […]
Review: Clinique Pep Start Eye Cream
It’s change of season and my skin has been a little temperamental, alternating between too oily or too dry. At this time of year I find that I really need to find good skincare products to keep me going. There’s no point in applying makeup if the skin underneath is sub-par, am I right ladies? […]
Review: Frankie Skincare Sunscreen
I’ve been reviewing facial SPF’s for an upcoming post, and in that exploration found this – Frankie Skincare Sunscreen. Frankie Skincare is a New Zealand brand set up by the beautiful Michele who found that SPFs were exacerbating her daughter’s excema. What did she do? She went up north to Mangawhai, to her family land, […]
