L'Occitane Osmathus Apricot EDT Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] This fragrance just looks so unassuming when the fragrance is anything but. It’s exactly what I needed to smell on a cool but sunny, autumnal day when the change is in the air but summer is not forgotten. Osmanthus has the blessing of smelling peachy-apricot in a ripe and powdery version so you’re not […]
Vaseline Gluta-Hya Serum Burst Lotion Review | British Beauty Blogger
I’m always a fan of Vaseline body care – it’s simple and to the point and gets the job done. Vaseline Gluta-Hya Serum Burst Lotion is exactly the same but it’s been somewhat over complicated with so much messaging on the bottle that my eyes glazed over. So – ‘Gluta-Hya Serum Burst Lotion Dewy Radiance […]
Victoria Beckham x Augustinus Bader Foundation Drops Review | British Beauty Blogger
[purchase/affiliate] I had convinced myself that no foundation (other than Chanel Sublimage at £140 which is epic beyond all epicness if you like full coverage that makes your skin look perfect HERE) could be worth £104 which is the VB x AB price. I’m a big fan of the VB brand – I use her […]
AD Five Things I Didn’t Know About LED Masks Before Using CurrentBody Series 2 | British Beauty Blogger
Remember when those red glowing LED masks first came out and made everyone look like extras from Alien? Would they ever catch on? Did they even work? Well, not only have they caught on — in a big way — but they’ve also become a staple in many skincare routines. And yes, they do work. […]
SaltyFace Tanning Water Review | British Beauty Blogger
Since Jimmy Coco changed their formula and colour selection, I have been looking for a self tan that I can live with. I don’t want to look deeply tanned or even medium tanned – warmed is about where I need to be. I find a lot of self tans far too drying for my skin […]
Friday Treat : & Other Stories Embroidered T-Shirt | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/affiliate] Whatever your thoughts on buying out of season clothing, I’d say put them to one side for a moment and snap yourself up one of the & Other Stories embroidered t-shirts. It’s in my basket as we speak as something very cool to wear under hoodies or v neck jumpers in winter and of […]
Dr Idriss Barrier Lip Basting Duo Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m still all thumbs on my new laptop which surprisingly has been relatively easy (largely because Lucy did all of it!) but despite it being a very similar model to my old one, my fingers are so at one with the old key board that they’re slightly out of place on this one. I […]
Friday Treat : Rain Coats - Have Dog Will Stay Dry | British Beauty Blogger
[affiliate] I’ve been meaning to do a Friday Treat on rain coats for quite some time but honestly, they’re pretty much all awful. Either they’re ‘shower proof’ which does nothing much in a rainstorm (I shudder still at the thought of my wet shoulders in a Uniqlo so-called shower proof coat) or they’re just a […]
Gatineau Defi Lift Volumising Peptide Lip Treatment Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I don’t often feature Gatineau because they tend to focus too hard for my liking on youth chasing and don’t really speak to older women in the way that I feel they should. However, sorry to say, I caved when I saw their Defi Lift Volumising Peptide Lip Treatment in Bisou despite the fact […]
Wallow Eternal Sun Hand & Body Wash Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] From the people who brought you the most loungeable pyjamas and covetable bedding, Wallow is Piglet in Bed’s self care little sister. The sale is on (HERE) – just saying! I have my eyes on these linen pyjamas and I’m not thinking about toast crumbs or spilled coffee. Eternal Sun feels just right for […]
Margaret Dabbs Repairing Hand Cream Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m very lazy when it comes to hand cream – much as I love the idea of slathering my hands with a hydrating salve, invariably I find them too thick and heavy for comfort. Garden hands are a different thing – they actively need something soothing and very protecting – but day to day, […]
Nails Inc Cherry Noir Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] This week I have a couple of hand related posts and I’ll make a start with the Nails Inc Cherry Noir duo which has totally hit the seasonal mood change head on – I suddenly started craving Rouge Noir-esq nails and both shades – Billie and Scarlet – are bang on for the same […]
Friday Treat : Layering Tops | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/affiliate] Remember when Me & Em made the most lovely layering tops? Kind of like a t-shirt fit but with lace or detailed collar so you could have your jumper over the top but not nearly boil to death – I still have some from at least five years ago when they were still vaguely […]
Stila Made-U-Lash Tubing Mascara Review | British Beauty Blogger
Suddenly, tubing mascaras are everywhere – about time too and especially with autumn coming right up – wind and rain ahead! I wasn’t expecting Stila to release their own version – Made-U-Lash – but here it is. I spent the whole day wearing it on Wednesday and can say that it certainly has staying power. […]
What's In My Holiday Beauty Bag? | British Beauty Blogger
So, I finally did make one of my booked holidays – to Ibiza (the quiet side!) with Tim and my brother, his wife, my sister and her husband. We had an amazing time – a lot of laughter, far too much wine and wonderful food. I swam, listened to podcasts under a sun umbrella, had […]
Malin + Goetz Niacinamide Restorative Cream Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] This brand is one of my most trusted – they don’t make a fuss, they just get on and make the best products they can and everything just does what it’s supposed to do. I feel very much over-informed about skin care at the moment. Even taking SPF out of the equation, the algorithms […]
I Tried A 9 Step Skin Care Routine... | British Beauty Blogger
[purchase/affiliate] …And I liked it. I’m 100% Mrs Cut Corners if I can possibly get away with it but on a whim, I think while I was ordering salmon sperm creams (couldn’t be bothered to even try them, so far) there was a sachet selection that offered a 9 step routine and I bought it. […]
The Five Luxury Beauty Advent Calendars Really Worth Having | British Beauty Blogger
Beauty advent calendars have all become a bit samey but even as they push the boundaries of our spend limit, are there any out there that are all thriller with no filler? I’ve done the digging to find out and these are the five that represent the best value with the most interesting and exciting […]
Friday Treat : Topshop Picks | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/affiliate] I’m pretty sure what did for Topshop was Zara and H&M. Before Zara, Topshop was one of the only places that had the pace to keep up with and ahead of trends. I can’t count the number of times I went down the escalators at the Oxford Circus branch filled with anticipation and came […]
Suqqu Skincare Cream Tint & Concealer Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ll say up top that the shade I have (10) is not correct for me at the moment – my fault because I chose thinking ahead to winter and not to the review I would be doing while still in summer. I don’t know why I did that but here we are. So, I […]
Tenth Muse Solid Perfume : Salted Skin Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I don’t know how I haven’t come across Tenth Muse before but first impressions are strong for this solid fragrance brand founded by Sophie Beaumont Willis. The launch of the brand came post-Covid – a mission to counteract the irritation brought on by regular fragrances. All the packaging is recyclable from start to finish […]
Paul & Joe Limited Edition Lipstick Case 2025 Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I have the new autumn collection from Paul & Joe here but I’m going to split eyes and lips up, not least because I know there aren’t very many of these lipstick cases left and wanted to be on it before they all disappear. Before I opened the packaging for the Paul & Joe […]
Digby Dog Wash Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] With all the Dora drama recently (the vets now conclude that her tail isn’t broken – she isn’t even on pain killers anymore) it was very nice to just give her some proper attention not based on handling her like a Ming vase. I was pleased to wash her – she was less delighted […]
Hildun Chilli Chocolate Kajal Liner Review | British Beauty Blogger
I will always have all the time in the world for Hilden Kajal Liners – they’re really on a par with Victoria Beckham and a little bit cheaper too, so I was thrilled to see a new shade land on my desk. Called Chilli Chocolate, it’s a bit more burgundy-toned than I was expecting but […]
Trouble Maker Make Up Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] It’s so often the case that brands and products designed for younger consumers end up being more than suitable for those at the other end of the age spectrum. It looks like Troublemaker is a very good example of that. As an older beauty customer, there’s a lot that I’d leave to the little […]
Louis Vuitton Lipstick LV Baume Review | British Beauty Blogger
I have very mixed feelings about buying this Louis Vuitton lipstick. I’m always happy to buy product if I feel it really needs to be here with brands who don’t include me on their send out list. I think the Louis Vuitton send out list has been extremely limited from what I can see because […]
Louis Vuitton Lipsick LV Baume Review | British Beauty Blogger
I have very mixed feelings about buying this Louis Vuitton lipstick. I’m always happy to buy product if I feel it really needs to be here with brands who don’t include me on their send out list. I think the Louis Vuitton send out list has been extremely limited from what I can see because […]
Beauty Business News September 2025 | British Beauty Blogger
The pool is smaller than you think in beauty – Trinny London has scooped up Michelle Marks from Charlotte Tilbury where she was the Global Director of Digital Brands. She takes the role of Chief Marketing Officer at Trinny with reported plans to speak louder and stronger to a 30+ consumer, particularly in the US […]
Ciroa Raspberry & Vanilla Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] New to the UK, other than lucky finds in TK Maxx (HERE), I think you’re going to like the accessible Ciroa price points. Owned by mother and daughter team, Alex and Sophie Liddy, Ciroa was founded in Australia but retailed initially in 2021 in the US. Australia became their second market (shifting 2.6 million […]
Curated Beauty Inner Confidence Supplement | British Beauty Blogger
If you followed my anxiety posts on Substack, I’ve had all my blood test results back from the endocrinologist and everything is pretty much normal – including testosterone which was a surprise to me. What’s annoying me most about everything that’s been going on anxiety/menopause wise is lack of energy and I think most of […]
M&S Crackled Leather Car Coat Launch | British Beauty Blogger
I’m sliding in with an early Friday treat because this amazing coat, in crackled leather, has literally just landed at Autograph at M&S. I was planning a coat themed Friday treat for tomorrow which I’ll leave now for the following week because I don’t think any of the coats I had planned are going to […]
Paul Yacomine D’Or Blond Light Toner & Repair Serum Review | British Beauty Blogger
It’s not often I’m so curious about hair products but another Paul Yacomine Hair Serum came my way and again, I’m super impressed. When I say ‘it came my way’, I cheekily asked for it because I wanted something that I knew would be suited to my hair in a way that the Volumising Serum […]
Gemz Water Activated Shampoo Review | British Beauty Blogger
I had Lucy bring me back some Gemz, the Proctor & Gambol owned waterless shampoo and conditioners, from her trip to the US (hence the wonky box!). P&G are betting hard on these interwoven thread matrix designs – I’ve previously written about the Olay Cleansing Melts, also owned by P&G. Behind the scenes, all the […]
Body Guard Anti-Mosquito Spray | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/ad] It’s peak mozzie in our garden at least. I come from Scotland where midges rule the land so I’ve had my fair share of bites but it always used to be that taking action against mosquitos was a thing you did abroad, not here in the UK. A couple of weeks ago we had […]
Murad Superactive SPF Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] It’s taken a while to try all four of the new Murad Superactive SPF options and I think if you are very much into your skin care, you’re really going to like them for being an impressive upgrade on the merging of the two genres of care. I’m somewhat on the fence here because […]
Ruby Hammer Top Picks | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] It’s that time of year again when there are few launches (brands are waiting for the shift in season so there will be an onslaught in September) so brands like to remind us of existing products. Generally, I don’t like to go back on products that I’ve featured before but when a bag of […]
Friday Treat : Autumn Vibe Small Bags | British Beauty Blogger
[affiliate] Sorry, but is this not just the sweetest bag? I love the wavy top – as you can see, it’s from H&M and I’m pretty sure they’re not going to be riding this trend alone. I’ve done a search for wave top bags from designer labels and haven’t come up with anything but this […]
Sweed Golden Beetle Satin Eyeliner Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I love a gold eye liner – can’t help it. I’m drawn to them like a moth to a flame, so I’m very happy to discover another one in the form of Sweed Golden Beetle Satin Eyeliner. I’ve never had anything from Sweed (yes, it’s a Swedish brand – founded by MUA Gabriella Elio) […]
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Dewy Flush Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ve had Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Dewy Flush waiting to try since the beginning of the summer and naturally, I’m now kicking myself because I could have been wearing it all summer long. But, here we are, I’ve tried it now, and love it for being exactly the right shade of peachy pink to […]
Leighton Denny Nail Rebirth Capsules Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I got this little pot of individual nail oil capsules in a ‘goodie’ bag at some event or other and randomly unearthed them a week or so ago. I really do despair about my nails – I really want to test out the Nails Inc Gel set that I have sitting waiting but don’t […]
