[unpaid/sample] So, where shall I start about how annoying sand is. That gorgeous, unspoiled beach looks so tempting when you first arrive but when it comes to leaving – so. much. sand. everywhere. I was sent a very thoughtful kit to demonstrate how well Beach Powder works; a little pot …

Let’s kick off with the happy news that a judge has dismissed the silliest ever class action for L’Oreal . Let’s go back to last year when a plaintiff claimed that having ‘Paris’ on L’Oreal Paris products implied that everything was made in Paris rather than elsewhere and the use …

[unpaid/sample] When I looked at the reviews for this brand, one of them said, ‘it makes me smile,’ and that’s a big win – it made me smile too. It’s a very fresh combination of both flowers and woods (does what it says on the tin!) with a light touch …

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] If you are in the mood for a proper treat, the last time I felt a balm texture like the L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Cleansing Balm was with Sisley at £96 per pot. Yikes – lovely, but I cannot. This one is that next level melty – soft and almost …

[unpaid/experiencereview] I had such a lovely day yesterday at Cosmetics A La Carte to see how they make bespoke lipsticks. I took along – can you guess?! – my Gucci Rene Pink and maybe less obviously, a milky pink Revlon shade that I’m wearing a lot at the moment, Beaming …

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ve delayed reviewing the Ciate Wondewand Mascara because I was convinced that I’d hate the brush and I’m actually getting on very nicely with MAC Stack and Sensai – mascara reviews are more tricky than other things because if it’s awful, it’s an absolute faff to get off again …

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] This SPF from the Inkey List is doing the rounds on social media in a very positive light. I can see why. I think the word ‘dewy’ is key in this but for those of you who run a mile from dewy, it’s fine – I don’t find it …

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Easter is a thing in my family – I think it really came from my grandma who was very keen on Easter cards and gifts so we’ve upheld the tradition. I saw my Mum last week and she insisted on giving me £30 to buy Easter treats but I’m …
