Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche Skinscent review
If you’re looking for the ultimate summer perfume – this might just be it. Estee Lauder’s Bronze Goddess, in the Eau Fraiche Skinscent version, is a beautiful warm tropical, solar floral, coconut perfume. It’s perfect for the warmer weather. Note though, this is the Eau Fraiche Skinscent. There are a few different versions of Bronze Goddess such as the eau de parfum, which smell a bit diffferent. This smells like sun cream and pina coladas, it perfectly encapsulates that “holiday in a bottle” feeling. To be honest, I get very little floral in the traditional sense. It doesn’t smell like
Affordable Heroes – NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams
I think the cost of living crisis is affecting a lot of us. I have to admit to feeling like I have less disposable income than I did a few years ago. As a result of this I’ve been weaving in some affordable beauty products that have either replaced some of my more expensive buys, or that I use when I can’t afford the higher end option. I thought it’d be interesting to start a series called “Affordable Heroes” where I share products that are reasonably priced and effective. The first of these is no stranger on this blog, it’s
Illamasqua Colour Veil in shade Frisson Review
Illamasqua Colour Veil is a hybrid blusher that has a jelly to cream type texture but offers the same high pigmentation of a powder blush. I recently bought one in the shade Frisson. They usually sell for £20 each but are on offer more often than not. I bought mine for £8 from LookFantastic (I actually had some credit left over so I think it cost me all of £1 in the end). The Colour Veils come in little frosted glass pots with a black glossy plastic lid. Looks can be deceiving and on first glance you might be thinking
L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil Review
This is probably one of the most luxurious shower products I’ve ever used. L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil is a golden oil which lathers when it comes into contact with water. The oil comes in a see through plastic squeezy bottle with a cap you can push up to pour it out. The bottle design complements the product well, although the oil has a fairly watery consistency, so you have to be careful when dispensing it. I’d say the watery consistency is rather deceptive as you don’t need very much at all. It thickens on contact with water, feeling more substantial
Benefit High Beam Liquid Highlighter Review
I think spring is definitely the time for glowy skin right? Benefit High Beam is a pearlescent pink liquid highlighter. You can wear it under make up, mixed with foundation, over make up or alone on bare skin. It gives a natural illumination look rather than anything dramatic. I love the simple but effective packaging. The doe foot applicator makes it easy to dab the product onto skin and the twist lid secures the product. The bottle is clear glass so you can easily see how much product you have left. I usually apply it to my cheekbones and gently
For the love of perfume samples
I’ve been thinking of writing this post for a while, following an online conversation with a chatbot that irked me slightly. If I’m spending £££ on a perfume, I want to be able to test it out first. Whether that’s a quick spritz in a department store, or buying a sample and testing it over a few days. I want to make sure that the perfume fits me, I enjoy wearing it, and feel comfortable wearing it. Longevity and projection are somewhat important depending on the circumstance. For example, I’m not too fussed if the perfume I wear to the

Difference between Adidas Gazelles and Spezials
I’ve never been much of a trainer girl. I liked my Converse but I just didn’t really pay much attention to other models. However getting older I’m starting to appreciate a more comfortable shoe – and trainers have replaced my flimsy sandals and flat shoes that pinched my toes. I’m a huge fan of the Adidas Gazelle and Spezial models. They’re both made of suede which is really soft and supple, giving the feeling of the shoe moulding to your foot rather than your foot having to fit the shoe. They also come in some really fun and eye catching

MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Bare Study Review
Is this perhaps the best all-round eyeshadow product ever? Maybe. I picked up MAC’s Bare Study last year on sale. I wanted another champagne coloured eyeshadow product to replace my beloved Stila Kitten that I had hit pan on. Bare Study looked to be a similar champagne gold colour, but in a slightly different formula. While this goes on creamy, Stila Kitten was in powder format. In terms of pricing, these come in at £22 each which is not cheap. You can often find them for a discount if you search around though, I picked it up from ASOS for
