product review: anti-blemish to the test with skinetica
Anti-Blemish Skinetica
Blemishes are a nightmare when you are a teen, in your 20's and 30's it is very unforgiving. With so many harsh chemicals in products along with modern day stress, blemishes are becoming an annoying cycle. I have given up on treatments with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid because it thins my skin making it more irritated and red. Read more
eclectic giveaway: get straight with ghd hair straightener!
I have three "beauty must haves" my ghds, my Shu Uemura eyelash curler, and Nude Magique CC Cream by L'Oréal. I remember the time and place I first discovered all three. When I first moved to London in 2005, I remember going to a Schwarzkopf Salon and falling in love with her ghds. They heated up in seconds and the ceramic was so gentle on my hair. I should have gone straight home and bought them online, but I suffered a couple of months longer with my other straighteners (that I won't name), until I got the best Christmas present ever: ghd Classic Styler. I haven't looked back on bad hair since. Read more

a holistic approach: made from earth vitamin c moisturizer
As the makeup and skin care industry continue to take a more deliberate step towards organic products, Made From Earth is heading into the right direction with their green, chemical-free beauty products. We were lucky to try and review their Vitamin C Moisturizer. This moisturizer contains the highest possible concentration of Vitamin C in a skin care product and is designed to protect, repair and moisturize. The Vitamin C encourages collagen production which brightens and softens the skin and can be worn under sunscreen to boost its effectiveness. The Vitamin C Moisturizer may also be used to restore elasticity and prevent wrinkles and is a proven antioxidant. Read more

We got the Kevin.Murphy Travel Kit in one of our goodie bags at Copenhagen Fashion week and couldn't wait to try it. Read more

frownies: going back to basics
If you have ever seen anyone wear Frownies, it looks like ghetto Botox or the "Croydon Facelift". I look like a urban warrior with them on (hence why we opted for the model wearing them instead). Frownies are nothing new, in fact they have been around for more than a hundred years, but every generation needs someone to let them in on the little secret. Remember Faye Dunaway wearing them in Mommie Dearest? Read more
