Is this the year? The year I finally find my perfect sunscreen? Something that’s fragrance free, without the dreaded white cast and oily, heavy finish? If I had any chance of finding such a sunscreen, I had to start somewhere and I figured the best place was local. It also meant I really had to…

Ethique Review – Bar Minimum, In The Buff, Butter Block & Nectar
I’ve been interested in trying Ethique for a while so when Electric Collective reached out and offered to send me a couple of items to try I was really excited. I had previously looked at their range and they didn’t have as many unscented options as they do now. I’m so impressed with how committed…

Biologi Skincare Review – BM, BD, B4 & BF
Biologi are an Australian brand committed to providing pure active plant phtyo-nutrients in serum form. They’re well known for offering a potent single plant extract per serum, focusing on Australian natives, such as mountain pepper berry, kakadu plum and finger lime. *Update 23/11/2023* I think it’s best to address the issues currently surrounding Biologi.

I’m back with more skincare! I have already reviewed Facetheory, but I enjoyed them so much I wanted to try more.

I think they’re a great brand for starting a skincare routine, while still offering heavy duty items for those…

My never ending search for the next best skincare product continues! I want that magic potion that will keep my skin looking it’s best and retinol is a powerful ingredient that always seems to come up.

Divine Herbal – Divinelash Review
I haven’t used an eyelash serum since I tried the one from Claribel Skincare, however I was lucky enough to be sent this one, the Divinelash from Divine Herbal. Divine Herbal was created from the desire to find an effective, yet natural and nourishing range to treat hairloss and thinning hair. Once they developed an…
