Sonsie Skin Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ve been truly looking forward to reviewing Sonsie which most of you will know as the brand co-founded by Pamela Anderson is a complete image about turn. I think that Pamela could not look more beautiful, elegant and graceful in the promo pictures and she’s given some meaningful and thoughtful quotes on the subject […]
Garnier Vitamin C Daily UV Lightening Fluid SPF50 Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Facial SPFs are a hot topic right now – I’ve just had a little rant on Instagram about how we are all being hoodwinked into thinking we need to pay £££ for facial SPFs when in reality, we don’t. Your facial SPF only needs to do one thing – offer a sun protection factor […]
Friday Treat : Pink Linen Bedding | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/affiliate] I have bided my time, friends. I have wanted a pink linen bed set for a long, long time. It turns out that you can pay anything from approximately £100 to £1000 for this very thing and I know which end of the scale I’m prepared to be. An eye opener for me was […]
Jane Iredale Skintuition SPF30 Radiance Boosting Foundation Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] It feels like a long time since Jane Iredale appeared anywhere in the UK – it’s not been in my sightline for literally years. The company was sold to venture capital in 2019 and if my memory serves me correctly, it was far more active in the UK prior to that. As an early […]
Morphe Python Code Eyeshadow Palette Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] When I am sent a multitude of palettes from a brand, I can’t feature all of them – Morphe very generously sent me ten of their new and glorious palettes which works out at (six x 6 pan and 4 x 12 pan) 108 different colours to talk about. What I tend to do […]
Dr Sam's Radiance Kit Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] It’s coming up for peak holiday time and the dreaded squashing of all your under 100ml essentials into a plastic bag that barely holds one donut, never mind your beauty essentials. If you’re lucky and your airport has the new technology for screening, you don’t need to put your products in that silly sandwich […]
Tursian Skin Care Review | British Beauty Blogger
I can pinpoint the exact day that I stopped believing that skin care could change my life. It was at the launch of a (then) new brand that had apple stem cells as the key and game changing ingredient. Even for a non-scientist, that sounded so dodgy that I wanted to stand up and leave. […]
Vieve Skin Dew Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I never quite know where I’m going to start on a Monday – I just sit down and hope for the best generally. I often use the weekends to experiment with new products, particularly make-up, so by Monday morning, I have several posts I can make for the week to come. It’s very clear […]
Friday Treat: Hello Kitty Hoodie 60% Off | British Beauty Blogger
[purchase/affiliate] I’ve got an event today so I’m fully focussed on not sweating into my newly blow dried hair so I had to think twice about whether to even try to get a snap of myself in a wool/cashmere blend hoodie this morning! All fans ON… The postman delivered my Chinti & Parker sale bargain […]
Paul & Joe Beaute Summer 2025 | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Japanese made beauty brand, Paul & Joe, has put together a summer edit and if you like whimsy with your sunshine, this could not be more right for you. It’s always the prettiest of make up with so much attention to detail in the packaging but I don’t think there’s anything new-new here because […]
Isa Knox UV Sun Pro Sun Fluid SPF50 Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/purchase/affiliate] It’s summer so the SPF Brigade are in full swing on Instagram, scaring us witless about even thinking about the sun. We are assumed a common-sense free zone with no ability to adult without a lecture about the dangers on the sun. The algorithm on Instagram is serving me nothing but SPF advice (as […]
Hildun Beauty x Hannah Martin Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] Ooh. Now, this is quite something – you know when you suddenly have a moment with the power of make up? I had that very moment with the Hildun Beauty x Hannah Martin collaboration collection which turned my eyes from stark to smouldering in a couple of strokes of a brush. A Mediterranean type […]
Et Al Line + Define Eyeliners Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] I love a good eyeliner and Et Al has more than delivered with their new Line + Define liners – each one an absolute winner, colour wise. There are seven shades which include Ink (black) and Cocoa (brown) as standard shades but they’ve expanded on the colour wheel within that standard and created some […]
Friday Treat : The Dress Five Ways | British Beauty Blogger
You know those heavy and heady sunny days where every single item of clothing feels too much on your skin? This dress – in five options – from H&M is the least amount of clothes you can decently wear (add bra and knickers as your own preference) and be seen in public. It’s this same […]
DoSe by VH AHA/BHA Toner Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] If you’re a fan of a daily exfoliating toner I think this newness from DoSe is going to be right up your street. In fact, I’d say it’s better for anyone who is already using an exfoliating toner who’d like to take it up a level. Daily acid toners, or tonics as they’re sometimes […]
Malin + Goetz SPF30 Lip Balm Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] There really aren’t that many truly decent SPF lip balms around – we’re very focussed on SPF for the face but the lips don’t get the same amount of attention I don’t think, especially not at level 30. Since everything from Malin + Goetz is reliable, I didn’t expect anything less from the balm […]
Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturiser Review | British Beauty Blogger
[purchase/affiliate] I’m one of the few people who didn’t like the Jones Road Miracle Balm – in fact, I hated the feel of it on my skin so really, I’ve kind of ignored the brand ever since. However, suddenly, I’m seeing Jones Road everywhere so I wanted to give it another whirl. In not new […]
Jo Malone London x Little Greene | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Was there ever a more perfect collaboration than Jo Malone London and Little Greene, a family owned, environmentally responsible paint and wallpaper company with a special aesthetic. Combining fragrance and colour is an art in itself but it seems to me that it’s match made in heaven, project wise, for anyone with the sensory […]
Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Serum Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/purchase/affiliate] I’ve been thoroughly influenced by a fellow Substacker because up til now I have avoided PDRN (or you might like to call it PolyDeoxyRiboNucleotide – maybe not) because the idea of putting salmon sperm on my face just sent me running away rather than running to. However, I’m always prepared to have my mind […]
CHANEL Sublimage Purifying & Radiance Revealing Vanilla Seed Face Scrub | British Beauty Blogger
You know what I haven’t used for a really long time? A physical exfoliator. I’m also looking for a good face mask because it feels like I haven’t ‘masked’ for ages and when I go through the extensive range of products I have here, there is only one that I feel even vaguely tempted by. […]
Nails Inc 45 Second Speedy Gloss Jelly Effect in Jel Oh Jel Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] My toes are newly painted (by me) in Essie Color Binge – tomato orange/red shade – because my feet are finally out. I’ve discovered that it’s from the 2015 Fall Collection and not only is it in perfect condition after ten years, but it gives a vibrant, holiday shade that is as relevant now […]
Maybelline Grippy Serum Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I almost never use a primer – it’s never been in my repertoire and I’m not about to start now but when Maybelline Grippy Serum arrived through the post, I wanted to try it if only to reassure myself that I’m skipping an unnecessary step in my (such as it is) routine. Actually, I […]
Friday Treat : Orange Popsicle Bomber Jacket | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/affiliate] I was very tempted yesterday to buy this when I saw it in Oliver Bonas but annoyingly they didn’t have my size. In real life it’s a sparkling (not glittery) fine knit jacket that is perfect for cooler summer evenings when you still need to bring the vibe but don’t want to suffer for […]
Fable & Mane Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I think my experience with Fable & Mane Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner is one of ‘great brand, wrong product’. The Volumizing formula just wasn’t right for my hair and while this brand focuses on age old Indian hair secrets, the promise of soft, bouncier and fuller hair just didn’t happen for me. There’s a […]
Hello Klean Cool Down Anti-Buildup Body Lotion Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I have really been looking forward to trying the Hello Klean Cool Down Anti-Build Up Body Lotion because it’s not really like anything I’ve tried before. I tend to avoid heavy body moisturisers during the summer when it’s hot because I don’t like the feeling of my skin being suffocated. I don’t know if […]
BBN June 2025 (it’s a week early!) | British Beauty Blogger
I’ve been compiling stories for BBN all month and there is such a lot, suddenly, going on. So, rather than wait til everything is old news, I’ve got a second BBN for May instead of hanging on til June. Jo Malone (the original creator, not the Estee Lauder owned Jo Malone London) is in hot […]
AD ZIIP HALO | British Beauty Blogger
It’s ZIIP HALO time again! I’ve been at several industry events recently and the ZIIP HALO is quite the topic of conversation – in a good way, of course. I get asked a lot what it’s ‘really’ like to use and it is just exactly as I say – easy and effective. In fact, it’s […]
AD The Current Body LED Hair Growth Device Review Update | British Beauty Blogger
In 2023 I wrote about the Current Body LED Hair Growth device after suffering hair loss after having Covid. Ideally, I want to forget about those lost years because I was so unwell and still, to this day, think I am not quite the same. In fact, when I talk to friends and family about it, they also […]
PLouise Feeling Peachy Palette Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] This palette is taking me right back to my blogging roots in the days of windscreen wiper brush strokes and arm swatches. The trend for palettes has dipped in favour of eye crayons, single shadows and creme formulas but PLouise Feeling Peachy has made me wonder if we are due for a resurgence any […]
Friday Treat - Yes, I Know It's Thursday, but hello Anya x Uniqlo Summer! | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/affiliate] I’m scheduling this post early because the Uniqlo x Anya Summer collection launches on line at 8am and a big flag that it’s going to be popular – and I suspect is available in quite limited quantities – is that you can only buy two of each item per customer. It’s a very small […]
Look Good Feel Better The Confidence Edit | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] The latest LGFB box is here in the form of The Confidence Edit with products from OPI, Marc Jacobs, Philip Kingsley, Shiseido, Rituals, Dr Lipp and Dr Pawpaw, supported by The Perfume Shop. I’ll go through each product in more detail but just want to place the reminder that for every two boxes sold, […]
Living Proof Sili-CLONE Restore Shampoo & Conditioner Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] It’s taken me a long time to love Living Proof – early iterations were not nearly as good as the products are now and since Unilever stepped in and bought the brand. Living Proof is a good example of how big corporations can make a success of a small brand by slowly growing it, […]
Orly 1970s Collection Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] It’s an age since I’ve seen anything Orly and my initial impression of their 50 year celebration collection was apprehensive. The colour choice feels a bit jarring to the modern nail eye, but, I’ve sat with them for a while and they’ve grown on me – especially Acid Trip, the glitter fest. Orly was […]
Friday Treat 2 : Cute Summer Plates | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate] While most of our family birthdays cluster around the winter months, there are a few dotted about over June and July (including my dad’s 90th!). I spotted these beautiful, summerful and frilled plates from Caroline Gardner and thought I could tick off every friend summer birthday in one fell swoop. All you need to […]
Friday Treat : Uniqlo Drapey Wide Flare Jeans | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/purchase/affiliate] I’ve been looking for exactly the right pair of flowy wide-leg jeans – I needed them to be as soft and flowy as my (now sold out) GAP wide legs but with more of a jeans look to them and, most importantly, for them to be the right length. As it happens, Unilqo has […]
CHANEL Water Fresh Tint Review : An Oldie But A Very, Very Goodie | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/purchase/affiliate/ad] Rarely have I loved a summer base more than the CHANEL Water Fresh Tint. It replaced my go-to bareMinerals Complexion Rescue (which I still wear on and off as a fail-safe in cooler weather) and I’ve featured it many times. So this is just a reminder, because it sells out every single year without […]
Koba Skin Care Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] Koba! Where have you been all my life? It turns out that founder, Therese M’Boungoubaya, not only has a pharmacist father and a mother who home-blended skin care over the kitchen table, but she’s also got experience working with Clarins and L’Oreal. That’s a root and branch immersion into the world of beauty so […]
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Stick SPF30 Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I can’t be the only one that wondered whether Supergoop! has anything to do with Gwyneth’s Goop and a quick Google confirmed that no, I’m not! In fact, the brand makes a point of letting us know they are not related in any way. And that’s 100% fine with me because it gives me […]
VT Reedle Shot 100 2-Step Mask Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] I’ve written about Reedling before – the only other person I see writing about Reedling is James Welsh, a make up artist and influencer. Like me, James has a special interest in Asian skin care. As a reminder, Reedling is a popular Korean Beauty trend that uses micro particles to act like micro-needles when […]
Beauty Business News May 2025 | British Beauty Blogger
I know – I never quite got to it in April – so here we are. In some ways, it’s a good job I waited because a) REN and b) SpaceNK, and I’ll start with the latter. Back in June 2024, SpaceNK sold its wholesale arm in the US to PCA Companies which started rumours […]
