Biossance Squalane + Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Let’s kick off the week with a good cleanse. I have readers far and wide so while it’s a bank holiday here in England, it’s not elsewhere, so I’m treating it as business as usual. One of the products I’ve been trying is Biossance Squalane + Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser, and for someone who […]
Friday Treat: Stellar MAC Offer | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/affiliate] Well, this will short and sweet but I can’t see anything but good on this MAC offer that gives you £50 of free product with a £60 spend. If you’re not too busy with Easter plans, take a moment to list out who would like a MacStack Mascara, a Ruby Woo Lipstick or a […]
Nourrir Prep Glycolic Scrub Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] I don’t know if any readers invested in the original formats of scalp scrubs? It felt like grinding sand into your scalp and was thoroughly unpleasant. The new breed, thankfully, have harnessed the power of AHAs and put them in a liquid which is much more user-friendly. Having been a bit sceptical about the […]
Maison Margiela Replica Coffee Break Fragrance Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] With news that Aldi has brought out three ‘dupes’ for Le Labo, it reminded me that Lidl’s Suddenly Female dupe of Lancome La Vie Est Belle makes me laugh every time I hear of it. I mean, tell me the thought process that happened at product development stage that brought them to Suddenly Female. […]
SAIE Beauty Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Saie is not a new brand – it began life in 2019 – but it’s new to me and I’m immediately drawn in by the product names – yes please to Dew Bronze and Dew Blush, Glossy Bounce and Glowy Super Gel. Brands, of course, don’t spring from nowhere – founder, Laney Crowell, is […]
Kerasilk Finishing Cream Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Trust me, I am as low maintenance as it’s possible to be with my hair. It’s naturally curly, so I blow dry it straight or lightly wavy and I really don’t like having anything in it such as hair spray or gel. Looks great on the day but overnight, while my curls try to […]
AKT The Wash Concentrate Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] I think if I’d have known the founder story, I’d have featured AKT a very long time ago. The brand was founded in 2015 by two actors performing in the West End – Ed Currie and Andy Coxon – whose deodorants were not hitting the spot. I mean, I know from being at the […]
Friday Treat: Ameliorate Half Price At Victoria Health | British Beauty Blogger
It’s not so long ago that I wrote about the Clarifying Scalp Exfoliant which I have found very good for my itchy scalp. I feel sure that I wasn’t rinsing product out of the back of my hair and that led to itchiness but as it is, I’m prone to a flakey scalp out of […]
Malin + Goetz Home Spray Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] It would not be so long ago that my jaw would have dropped somewhat at a big spend on what is in effect an odour neutralising air freshener. But, I can truly say that my existing Malin + Goetz Home Spray in the first variant, tomato, is in constant use and a little goes […]
Morphe Cheek Thrills Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ll be honest, I’ve been avoiding writing this post because I haven’t done a full on swatch post of every product in forever because they’re so labour intensive, but I’ve now got two of these trio compacts in my use-all-the-time trolley (used to be a drawer, have upgraded to a trolley from Hobby Craft) […]
Dreem Distillery Night Drops Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] Billed as high strength Ingestible CBD, this is the first CBD product I’ve written about, preferring to keep the whole CBD world off my website. However, after I tried the Whatsupp.co Dip Out Patches HERE, the founder of Dreem Distillery contacted me (they’re friends) to offer a trial of the Night Drops. If you […]
Dior Forever Hydra Nude Foundation Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/purchase/affiliate] I definitely wasn’t going to buy the Dior Forever Hydra Nude Foundation but on Saturday morning I had to dash to Oxford Street to take some clothes back to Stradivarius before the 30 days ran out and while I was there, nip into the Grayson Perry exhibition at The Wallace Collection in Manchester Square. […]
At the V&A Museum with CHANEL | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] If you love make-up, and particularly CHANEL make-up, the new book by Natasha A Fraser (designed by Olivier Andreotti) is a feast for the eyes. I was invited to listen to Thomas du Pré de Saint Maur, head of Global Creative Resources for the house, covering fragrance, beauty, watches and jewellery. Honestly, I didn’t […]
Friday Treat: Three Good V Neck T-Shirts | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/affiliate] Why is it all the fun t-shirts have a round neck? I’m not a fan – I don’t like a strangled feeling and I don’t like the kind of meercat look that a t-shirt that grips the bottom of your neck can give. A wide round neck is another thing but don’t give me […]
REN Evercalm Sensitivity Relief Mist | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] Since I don’t think we’ll have the REN brand with us for much longer, I’m wondering if this is their last new product. I mean, who knows? Maybe this is the one that will take it out of consultation and into the black because it really is very good. The REN Evercalm Sensitivity Relief […]
The Body Shop Full Rose Fragrance Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] I’m so happy to hear from The Body Shop again after a hiatus while they dealt with new ownership and reorganisation. A new launch is encouraging! Sensibly, The Body Shop has created a variation on a well loved theme rather than come in with something entirely new. For anyone who loves The Body Shop […]
About Daise Beauty | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I used to have stronger opinions about beauty marketing to children than I do now because I realise we are on an unstoppable train. I now look at the how rather than the why and I would a thousand times over rather see an affordable self care range aimed at Gen Alpha and younger […]
Maybelline Sky High Mascara in Green Altitude | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I love a coloured mascara but some are much easier to wear than others. Maybelline’s coloured mascaras (ten shades to date) are good options to experiment with, especially if you veer away from bright blue and head to the shades that are enhancers rather than statement. Their newest launch is Green Altitude – a […]
Friday Treat: The Chocolate Detective | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] I have been looking forward to telling you about The Chocolate Detective for some time now. I know I’m slightly too early for Easter but honestly, I can’t wait, so here we are. In any case, there will be a rush for these I am sure so the earlier the better if you are […]
Light Garden Candles Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] As a general rule, I have kept CBD away from my site – especially CBD skin care because I really fail to see how a face cream infused with CBD can have any effect on skin. Ingestible CBD oil, as I’ve recently discovered, is another matter, but I’ll come back to that at a […]
Paul & Joe New Lipsticks 2025 | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] It’s ages since I’ve seen any Paul & Joe beauty but true to form, this brand continues to deliver quirky and delightful lipsticks that are more than just practical. This selection is, not unusually for Paul & Joe, cat themed (because the founder adores cats) and has three new offerings: Protective, Moisturising and Tinted. […]
Sarah Creal The Adults Are Talking Solid Serum Lip Repair Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/purchase] I’ve flagged super-smart Sarah Creal a couple of times already on this site and it’s not yet available here. So, Max’s other job in NYC was to get me the Sarah Creal The Adults Are Talking Solid Serum Lip Repair in shade Energetic. I couldn’t wait for his next visit so I made him […]
L'Oreal Paris Lumi Le Glass Highlighter Review | British Beauty Blogger
[purchase/affiliate] Back in December, I sent my friend Ant on a hunt in NYC while he was there for New Year to find the L’Oreal Paris Lumi Le Glass Highlighter Stick and he couldn’t find it anywhere. So when Max, my son, went last month I had a little shopping list for him (including Crate […]
Friday Treat : May I PerSuede You...? | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/affiliate/purchase] Unlike the fash pack, I’m really quite a fan of synthetic animal fabrics – there are a few key pieces using softer than soft material that looks identical to suede and or leather but isn’t. I’ve just bought myself a beautiful ‘suedette’ shirt from M&S (sold out on-line and I had to get the […]
e.l.f. Invisi-Stick SPF 50 Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Right on time for the warmer weather appearing comes the e.l.f. Invisi-Stick SPF 50 and you know what this has done? Got me SPF-ing my hands! I’m quite neglectful with SPF (I don’t, don’t message – I just forget) although I encourage others to be rigorous and I’m also not afraid of pigment on […]
Gisou Lip Oil Review | British Beauty Blogger
I’ve been itching to try Gisou Lip Oils for as long as they’ve been out. Gisou, founded by Negin Mirsalehi in Amsterdam, has honey at the core. What began as a honey drenched hair oil in 2015 is now a beauty empire with body, face and candle products. Negin has Iranian heritage, and it’s to […]
All Saints Sunset Riot Intense EDP Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I love All Saints – it’s taken fashion grunge and given it a style make-over; never has edgy looked so desirable as when the All Saints designers get a hold of it, turn it into myriad shades of neutral and add a bit of chiffon and lace or buckles and tassels. I mean, it’s […]
Lumene Liquid Blush Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I often think Finnish brand, Lumene, has been a bit over-looked in the UK. Everything I’ve ever seen from the brand I’ve liked. I used their Natural Glow Foundation last year and it reminded me, in the best possible way, of the light touch of Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation. I bought it in Sweden […]
Friday Treat: Mother's Day Ideas | British Beauty Blogger
Mother’s Day is round the corner and a good opportunity for us to celebrate mothers and mother figures in our lives. I’m almost never with my mum on Mother’s Day so there’s no going out for lunch or tea – instead, I have to get inventive with things I think she’d like. This said, I […]
L'Oreal Paris Shadow Sticks Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] Eye sticks are everywhere and most of them cost far more than these beauties from L’Oreal Paris, which at £9.99, seem very reasonable indeed. I love an eye stick for effort free lids although there is always something of an on-going battle to make the colours stay put on which is a naturally oily […]
Lisa Eldridge Burnt Umber Kitten Mascara Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] We do have to go into the nuances of brown here because not all browns are equal. I quite like a brown mascara but tend to opt for a dark brown which just edges away the harshness that black can bring. But, if you look across the brown mascara market, dark brown is pretty […]
Kat Burki Silk Protein Primer Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I don’t think I’ve used anything from Kat Burki before but the founder – er, Kat Burki, has a background in nutritional biochemistry, healthcare law and epidemiology and uses that experience to bring the philosophy of nutritional biochemistry to her skin care collection. It’s about now that I feel thank god someone else puts […]
Jo Malone London Care Collection Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ve got so many products to write about at the moment so yesterday I had a big testing evening that covered face, hair and body and I’m going to start with the Jo Malone Care Collection which I only received on Friday. It’s bad news for the old credit cards because it’s as lovely […]
Kosas Revealer Extra Bright Colour Corrector Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m very interested in Kosas marketing for their Revealer Extra Bright Colour Corrector which is being twinned with their existing Revealer Concealer as a ‘system’ for covering dark circles. At first I thought that maybe it’s a just a good way to persuade you to buy two products instead of one (and maybe it […]
Haus Labs Glassy Balm Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] A new blush always makes me happy and I’ve been impressed up to now with everything I’ve seen from Haus Labs. Their new Glassy Blush Balm is making me happy on so many levels – it’s easy to use, the colours are divine and the finish is a perfect and I can’t say better […]
Joonbyrd Daydreamer Body Serum Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Of all the things I’ve been excited to try recently, Joonbyrd Body Serum ranks very highly. I’ve been so curious about the (self-funded so far) body collection from dermatologist, Dr Alexis Granite. The name comes from her Persian roots and once you know that Joon translates to soul or spirit and life, it becomes […]
Alternatives To Dior Pretty Charms You Can Buy In 2025 | British Beauty Blogger
In 2006, Dior had their beauty novelty game full on – not only was there a lip gloss filled, star shaped ring, but also the Pretty Charms Compact that was bejewelled and jangly. It was called the Dior Pretty Charms Secret Lip Gloss (I still have mine!) that was a heart-shaped locket with crystal balls […]
Shay & Blue Three Citrus Fragrances | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] When I was first starting to learn more about the intricacies of fragrance (before I started writing about beauty, I never gave note complexity a thought) it was always clear that I wanted the perfume to smell of the thing it was supposed to – so don’t go calling, e.g. Geranium Symphony that unless […]
Friday Treat: L'Era Jewellery (+ discount code) AD | British Beauty Blogger
I have some stunning new pieces to show you from L’Era Jewellery, the beautiful brand founded by mother and daughter team, Lara and Angèle. The Tesori Collection is a celebration of resilience and beauty found in imperfection that’s inspired by Roman architecture which has stood the test of time with strength and grace. Can you […]
PERS Rich Cream Review | British Beauty Blogger
[unpaid/sample] It’s rare for me to get excited about skin care – I see so much of it and with only now and then exceptions, it all feels and looks the same. I was using And Begin (now Renew + Me) for a long time because it suited my skin so well, but I stopped […]
