CLEAN EATS: I Quit Sugar by Sarah Wilson
Okay, this isn’t strictly a ‘beauty’ post - but ever since I did a 3 day juice cleanse a few months ago I am absolutely convinced of the very strong & immediate correlation between a good diet and good skin. I already knew this to some extent, of course, but I was still taken aback by how my skin was totally transformed after 3 days of drinking vitamin-rich, sugar free...

REVIEW: Spiezia Organic Facial Cleanser
What: Hydrating, nourishing facial cleanser that can double as a deep cleansing mask
For: All skin types, but particularly dry or dehydrated skin
Review: September has been a difficult month for me. First, there was Odacite, which blew me away with their brilliant clean products, and now Spiezia has come along - another high-performing, skin-transforming range. I am not exaggerating when I say...

REVIEW: The Green Balm
What: Natural skin care balm.
For: Like, sorta, everything. This is the clean version of Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream - moisturiser, burns & bites soother, cleanser, treatment for cold sores, lip balm, hydration mask… seriously, EVERYTHING.
Review: First up, you know a product is clean when one of the suggested uses is to add it to hot water & gargle to soothe a sore...

REVIEW: Odacite Deep Hydration Masque
What: A devine deeply hydrating mask for use once or twice a week.
For: All skin types, but particularly for dry or dehydrated skin.
Review: I introduced you to Odacite in my last post, and now it’s time to meet my absolute favourite product from the range, the Deep Hydration Masque. I feel as though I am introducing a new boyfriend to my parents… I know that I am head over heels...

Odacite is a French skincare company that produces freshly made, organic products, free of parabens, fragrance and other toxic nasties, which was founded after the CEO, Valerie Grandury, discovered she had breast cancer...

REVIEW: Planet Eve Organics Facial Cleansing Oil
What: Certified organic facial cleansing oil.
For: All skin types, to remove make-up and end of day grime.
Review: I’d never used a facial cleansing oil before this one by Planet Eve Organics, but now I am hooked on them. This one by Planet Eve Organics is truly scrumptious - it does a brilliant job of removing all makeup and build up from the day, but leaves skin feeling totally soft...

Anonymous asked: Hey there! I came across your blog on twitter, and am loving it. Specially the way you have detailed descriptions about the product, and an unbiased verdict. :) I am slightly embarrassed asking, but I feel I can get a good suggestion from you.. I really need to do something to plump my lips! And am definitely not going in for needles/fillers. Is there anything AT ALL, that really works? That...

REVIEW: Trilogy Rosehip Oil
What: 100% certified organic rosehip oil - works as a moisturiser, serum & treatment in one.
For: Anyone! Dry and dehydrated skin can use this twice a day either under moisturiser or in place of moisturiser - your skin will drink this up! Otherwise, ‘normal’ skin types would benefit just using this at night or a few times a week as a replenishing & nourishing treatment.
