Travel Skincare from Nourish London
(post features samples) If you’re fortunate enough to be jetting off to somewhere a ittle less dreary this summer, you’re probably thinking about the beauty bits you’re going to take with you. So many of us travel with hand luggage only these days, so we’re unlikely to be taking our full-sized favourites with us. With that in mind, Nourish London have us all covered with their range of beauty minis – perfectly portable and ideal for popping in your zip lock bag before you head through security. Not only do Nourish have ready-made skincare kits packed with mini versions of some bestsellers, but they also offer a great selection of…

Sunday Riley Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment
(sample) Sunday Riley Good Genes had a huge moment a few years ago but did you know that the Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment is now the brand’s global number one best seller? Back in the day, Good Genes was hailed as a first-of-its-kind of formula that exfoliated and brightened the skin, giving us that coveted healthy looking and glowing complexion, with fast results. At the time, the Good Genes we had here in the UK was formulated with Lactic Acid but it’s since been reformulated with Glycolic Acid. Why was Sunday Riley Good Genes reformulated and is it as good? Basically, EU regulations (which differ from the U.S) were…

Nourish London Ceramide Moisture Boost Essence
(sample) The newest product from organic beauty brand Nourish London is the Ceramide Moisture Boost Essence and I’ve really been enjoying it! As soon as winter rolls around it’s like the moisture is just sucked out of my skin all of a sudden, so this product couldn’t have been released at a better time. Designed to be used after cleansing and toning, the essence is designed to add an extra layer of moisture before you add your serum and/or moisturiser. Milky and light weight, the essence has been formulated to prevent dehydration and is perfect for menopausal skin and complexions affected by hormonal changes. It’s rich in Hyaluronic Acid and…

Croma Skincare Pure HA Liquid Mask
(samples) In all my years blogging about beauty it’s unbelievable that it’s taken me this long to try a liquid mask. The Croma Pure HA Liquid Skin Mask is my second product from the brand and my first time trialling a liquid mask and it’s made me interested to try more from both fields! Croma Pure HA is a highly concentrated mask with an odourless, gel consistency that comes in 1ml doses in ready to use syringes. The formula contains 1.8% Hyaluronic Acid that works to smooth, moisturise and revitalise the skin while improving hydration levels and enhance elasticity at the same time. It’s designed for all skin types, is…

Dior La Mousse OFF/ON Foaming Cleanser – A Review
Dior OFF/ON Foaming Cleanser has been around for a little while now but I’ve only just recently got a tube myself. Because I buy a lot of the products that feature on the blog, or receive them as gifts from loved ones, I don’t often review new to market products – I review things that are new to me and this cleanser is my latest new-to-me bit of skincare! Dior say that this cleanser combines the smoothness of a cream with the effectiveness of a foaming cleanser and having now used it several times I have to agree. OFF/ON is a very, very beautiful facial cleanser. I was initially drawn…

Nourish London Summer Sun Kit
(post contains sample) The Summer Sun Kit from Nourish London is a dinky little skincare trio perfect for travel or just trying out the brand. Presented in a Freeset black organic cotton bag, the skincare set includes the Argan Skin Rescue (5ml), Skin Protecting Daily Moisturiser SPF25 (15ml) and the Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask (5ml). The idea is that this kit is ideal for sunny days; prep the skin before you go out in the sun with the Argan Skin Rescue, protect and moisturise with the Skin Protecting Daily Moisturiser (you can read my post about that here) and then soothe skin at the end of the day (or overnight if…

Croma Farewell Dry Skin Face Serum
(post features sample) When I first opened the box containing the Croma FarewellDry Skin face serum, my initial thoughts were all about how exquisite the packaging is. I mean, a frosted glass dropper bottle presented atop its very own little wooden podium with the company name debossed into it is very much next-level skincare product presentation and I am completely here for it! It really is quite gorgeous and makes the product feel even more luxurious. Croma is an Austrian brand that, quite interestingly, specialises in the industrial production of Hyaluronic Acid Syringes. It seemed like quite a natural progression then for the family owned business to start producing their…

New! Nourish London Skin Protecting Daily Moisturiser SPF 25
Post contains sample The latest launch from Nourish comes just in time for the sunnier days we’ve got coming. The new Skin Protecting Daily Moisturiser SPF 25 is formulated with a blend of skin-benefiting ingredients and zinc oxide – a natural mineral sun filter. Zinc sunscreens are generally pretty good for people with sensitive eyes (and skin for that matter) and as someone who’s eyes often react to sunscreens, I can attest that this doesn’t irritate me in the slightest. It’s worth mentioning that this product is actually completely safe to use on babies, which is always reassuring! While the Zinc protects against damaging UVA and UVB rays, the moisturiser…

Dr Jackson’s Skincare
(samples) Dr Jackson’s debuted a few years ago now and it’s one of those brands I’ve been interested to try but, until now, never quite got around to it. With a focus on clean formulas, the sustainable, cruelty free beauty brand was voted Eco Brand of the Year at The 2021 Beauty Shortlist & Wellbeing Awards. Now that I’ve got my hands on a few products I can understand why. I’ve been using the 07 Face Wash, 01 Day Cream and 03 Everyday Oil for around a week now. Here’s what I think so far. 07 Face Wash 200ml – £33.00 A gorgeous, hydrating facial cleanser that’s both gentle and…
