MBotanicals Rejuvenating Facial Elixir
Products that combine natural ingredients with a touch of luxury are right up my street and the Rejuvenating Facial Elixir from London brand MBotanicals is no exception. Brimming with gorgeous skin loving oils including Prickly Pear, amino acid rich Blackseed, Rosehip and Watermelon Seed, the Elixir was designed to nourish and protect skin exposed to the pollutants and free radicals that come with living in the city. The prickly pear based facial oil is beautifully multifunctional and can be used as it is, under your moisturizer for an extra boost or as a luxurious night treatment. I’ve experimented with the Elixir in a few ways, in the methods mentioned above…

I love discovering beauty destinations and I really love indulging in a good facial treatment or massage so Fern Skin Clinic has piqued my interest.

Fresh Beauty in London + Wishlist
Fresh is such a covetable beauty brand and for very good reason! For years I’ve been so keen to get my hands on one of the iconic original lip balms but didn’t want to pay through the nose to have one shipped from the U.S. You can imagine my delight then when I came across a blog post detailing the fact that a Fresh store had opened right here in London, meaning all I had to do was jump on the underground and make my way to Baker Street to finally call one of these luscious lip balms my own! Located on Marlybone High Street, the Fresh store is small…

BareMinerals Complexion Rescue – Colour Match at Selfridges

Especially when said boyfriend is one of the most bluntly honest people on the planet. That’s what happened last weekend when we visited Selfridges so I could try out BareMinerals’ latest offering, Complexion Rescue. A few different shades were tried out before it was agreed that no. 3 (Buttercream) was my match and it was blended seamlessly onto my skin while the very helpful sales assistant filled me in on what exactly makes Complexion Rescue so special. Essentially a BB, CC and Tinted Moisturiser in one…
