If I want real hydration for my lips I'll turn to DHC Lip Cream, but for a tinted chapstick on a lazy day, I'll make an exception and take my Cherry Cola Lipsmacker out with me. To me it smells (and looks!) like summer - a very subtle reddish tint that'll make you look like you've bitten your lip, it's innocent and sweet and perfect for the dog days when you don't …Read more
Now, before we start, a little disclaimer: I am not the target audience for this cream, not by a mile - I'm 25 with combination skin and just a few fine lines, and while my skin tends to be tired and dehydrated, it doesn't need quite the level of moisture that the EGF cream offers. But I had a couple of samples of this cream and thought I'd try it out anyway.
So, for …Read more
These undereye strips are the Idols of eye treatments - they're fun, they shine bright and burn fast.
These feel nice and cool and refreshing - I like to apply them in the morning - and have a very visible, very fast-acting effect: they make your eyes look less puffy and tired, minimise dark circles and generally make you look like you've had a nice long night of sleep. They …Read more
The reviews on this product baffle me, because it sounds like people are reviewing completely different products! I can only talk about my own experience of it but it seems to be radically opposed to many others.
I had samples of this cream that I started using up before moving on to the full-size pot. Each sample would last me about a week, as really only a tiny amount of product is …Read more
Oh my god, I've been using this product for a while, it was a gift and I had no idea it was so expensive - I only just found out when sitting down to write this review!!
The formula of this product is truly amazing. My skin had been a bit hopeless for a while, it was dehydrated but oily and I was breaking out, so I took this back out of the cupboard and it's been helping …Read more
This is one of the gazillion DHC samples I'm currently using up and reviewing. I've used it every day for the past 2 weeks and I'm very impressed!
I normally use DHC's Pore Face Wash, which smells great but leaves my skin feeling a little tight - this does nothing of the sort. It foams up very well and leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh without any of the drying …Read more
I LOVE THIS!!!
I tried it at the Glossier showroom in NY and bought it instantly - I honestly don't think I've ever been so clearly impressed with a soap-type product before.
The product comes out like oil but foams up when you lather it on. It makes you feel so, so squeaky clean and refreshed after a shower - but it's not drying at all. In fact, my skin is …Read more
Tried this as a sample size, out of which I got two uses. My hair had recently been shedding quite a bit, so I took this on holiday with me and decided to give it a try.
Pros: It definitely reduced hair loss, and, I feel, strengthened my roots. My hair feels a little thicker and much less brittle. So, it does what it says on the tin. It also feels like it fed my curls a little, they …Read more
Sweet and spicy and utterly delicious.
I honestly think this scent is unisex, despite being marketed as a Men's fragrance - but then again I wear a lot of men's perfumes.
Unlike many of Penhaligon's scents, this one lasts quite a long time and will take you on an interesting, evolving olfactory journey.
It starts off very peppery, with a bit of a burnt …Read more
Celestolite is a luxe skincare brand whose main point is that all their products contain meteorite powder.
Weirdly, I can barely find any reviews online so I went instore and requested some samples. This is what the product description says:
"Experience the ultimate in anti-aging brilliance with Venus Vitamin C Serum from Celestolite. This silky effective serum is …Read more
