Merlot 8- Bobbi Brown
When it comes to make up I am a novice, and pretty boring, so by no means should you place any authority on what I say, except of course I say it so convincingly… lol. And when it comes to lip glosses, I am a woman who sticks to a formulae, rarely walk on the wild…

Lupita for Lâncome
Face? Check. Beauty? Check. Everything? Check. Because beauty is not a one dimensional formula, it comes in all colours, all tones, all sizes, and is every woman. I love every single thing about this and more. She is a woman who looks like me, and she is the face of a global beauty brand, on the pages…

Crabtree & Evelyn Citron- Body Scrub and Hand Remedy
There is something about lemon wash that feels clean and I love the smell. I have been using Crabtree & Evelyn Citron range for a good few years now and have never been more pleased. Especially with the body scrub and hand remedy that works a treat on my dry hands. The hand remedy…

Chanel-Le Vernis Rose Exubérant
A few years ago I bought my first Chanel nail polish but was left disappointed when it chipped within a day of wearing it and doing absolutely nothing at all, it was the Le Vernis Black Satin, beautiful but useless. I’ve stayed away from Chanel since. But doing my monthly beauty shop, as you do,…

Lupita Nyong’o on Beauty and Being Beautiful
I can’t tell you how much this moved me. For our daughters, sisters, friends and every woman who has, rejected her beautiful, been told her beauty has a shade, been relegated to a particular category, had her beauty re-defined to fit a certain mould, been excluded because her beauty wasn’t the norm…whatever it is the…

Almond Body Butter from The Body Shop
I have very dry skin so the winter is cruel to me, English winters are hard out here and the struggle is real y’all. I try much as possible to stay hydrated but it doesn’t always do the trick, moisturising is in several layers and some baby oil. I once found salvation in Neutrogena Emulsifying…

The Million Dollar Lipgloss from Tom Ford.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, lipgloss is my salvation. The best invention in beauty. I mean when did this happen? Tom Ford does a mean beauty collection, and a very pricey one at that but its worth the money. It took me a long time to bring myself to spend £32…

Beauty Products Myths
When it comes to fashion we have the tendency to determine the quality of a product by its brand name and price, hence the more expensive a product, the more we expect from it. Obviously. You won’t expect a tee-shirt from Zara to out last one from say, Zadig and Voltaire, even if they are…

Fiery by Stila
As you may or may not know, I have a thing for red lipstick. I have new found respect for red lipstick, a colour that once scared me to even look at. But since I lost my red lipstick virginity I can safely say, I glide confidently into the land of the bold. I’m not…
