A Cosy Christmas Wish List.

dicembre 11, 2018



Is there anything better than tucking in with a good book, a stack of festive films ready and waiting, and a steaming cup of hot chocolate with too many mini-marshmallows to count piled on top? I don't think so. If anybody needs me, I'll be here for the foreseeable future.

The Holidays are almost here! The lights, the songs, the heavy knits and fluffy scarves... I'm so excited I can barely sit still. During the last few days I've been in full-on gift giving mode and whilst I was racking my brains to find the best presents for my dad and friends, I jotted down a little list of the things I'm hoping to unwrap - or snatch up on Boxing Day, because we all know I have zero self control and the post-Christmas sales are just too good to brush off.

Autumn skin sorted with Caudalie.

dicembre 04, 2018


It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Caudalie skincare. I don't think there's been a Caudalie product that I haven't liked or a launch that I haven't been excited for. Their simple, fuss-free formulas really agree with my skin, and the brand is my go-to in particular when the temperature drops and my complexion needs a little TLC.
My main goal during the colder months is to keep my skin hydrated and soothed - dehydrated and sensitive is a dangerous combination and I have to do my best to keep my skin under control and avoid major freak-outs; so far these bits have been doing the trick for me.

Four Things I'm Doing This Halloween.

ottobre 30, 2018


Even if we don't really take Halloween too seriously down here, I can't help but get deeply excited for this time of the year and the day itself. Being a total homebody myself, I'm making it my mission to get the best out of the celebration whilst keeping things super cosy and here are 4 things I've added to my to-do list for tomorrow. 

Trying out Dermalogica Skincare.

ottobre 13, 2018


Truth be told, this post is way overdue. I wanted to share this weeks ago but, you know, life. But maybe that's a good thing because I've had more time to use these products and now I can give you an even better review.

As I've gotten older, I've fallen more and more in love with skincare - don't get me wrong, I still love makeup a lot but these days I find so much joy in experimenting with a new cleanser or playing around with facial oils and funky masks. The list of brands and products I want to try is longer than my arm but recently I was able to cross a huge name from said list as I've been kindly sent a few exciting bits from Dermalogica. Their products are well-known and loved within the beauty community and they've been described as skin - and sometimes even life - changing, so I couldn't wait to introduce them into my routine.

Five Recent Lifestyle Favourites.

agosto 20, 2018


I consider myself quite lucky as far as mental health goes as I mostly have good days when I feel perfectly normal and go on with my life without so much of an itch; but there are days, like yesterday, when anxiety takes over and it's easy for me to feel completely overwhelmed. When it happens, focusing on the simple, little things that put a smile on my face on a day to day basis never fails to make me feel lighter and clear my head a little, so today I'm sharing five non beauty-related things that I've been loving lately.

Introducing Resultime Skincare.

maggio 24, 2018


As a self-proclaimed skincare hoarder, I'm always eager to try new bits and formulas, but it's not just the beauty blogger in me that's constantly hunting for the next holy grail release. Especially as I age, I've become more conscious of looking after my skin and finding great skincare is absolutely essential for me. Among my all-time favourite brands, there's one that never disappoint: Resultime by Collin always seems to hit the nail on the head - their products just work so well for me and deliver every single time. Also, I couldn't help but feel instantly drawn to the minimal packaging and the incredibly straight forward range that heroes some of my favourite ingredients - collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. I've been using Resultime skincare for quite a while now and I thought it was about time I share the love with you.

Lush Treats for Mother's Day.

maggio 08, 2018


Mother's Day is officially less than a week away and what better way to celebrate than stocking up on some amazing Lush goodies for your lovely mums and of course yourselves? As usual I'll take any excuse to make my bathroom - and the whole house to be honest - smell absolutely gorge and since Lush's Spring collection this year is especially stunning, I had to share a few recommendations.

A Spring Haul.

maggio 05, 2018


There's no better time for a skincare refresh than Spring and since I've been itching to try something new for ages, I decided the turn of the season was the perfect moment to tick off a few names from my endless wishlist. From the cutest set of mini masks to a beautiful cleanser to a cheeky new fragrance picked up on a whim, here are my most recent purchases and a few first impressions.

The Fenty Beauty Edit.

aprile 18, 2018


To say the internet lost its mind when Rihanna announced her new beauty range would be a huge understatement and I think the main reason why Fenty Beauty has been doing so well right from the get-go is the inclusive shade range that screams loud and clear that beauty is for everyone. Sure the millennial pink packaging and beautiful honeycomb design are very eye-catching, but it's this fresh approach to beauty that really makes Fenty stand out from the crowd. Today I want to share my thoughts on the products I own.

15 Beauty Tips That Work For Me Everytime.

aprile 04, 2018


One of my favourite things about beauty is there's always something to learn, some new technique and quick hack that can help you improve your makeup application or the results of your skincare routine, and make your life a little easier. Today I've rounded up some of my favourite fool-proof tips to share with you - some of these might sound pretty obvious, but they always work for me and my skin, and hopefully they'll be helpful for you as well.

Lush Does Valentine's Day 2018.

febbraio 13, 2018


There're three kinds of people in the world when it comes to Valentine's day: those who take it really seriously and go all out to celebrate it, and the ones who want to burn all the hearts and stuffed teddy bears. Then there's me, the girl that doesn't really care for the day per se but is forever looking for an excuse to hoard all the seasonal Lush goodies and indulge in a good ol' pamper. Who else is with me?

This year's V-Day collection is rather delicious and really special as well, as almost the entire range is packaging free - so no bottles or plastic containers in sight. How cool is that? Go Naked or go home!
Here I'm sharing a few favourite picks I recommend you treat yourself to.

What I got for Christmas.

gennaio 06, 2018


Being the nosy monkey I am, 'What I got for Christmas' posts are some of my favourites to read as I absolutely love seeing what other people found under their Christmas tree, and they also are an awesome place to find inspiration on how to spend Christmas money. I know it's about time I let go of the Holiday season and put away the decorations, but before we wrap up it for good, I wanted to share some of the beautiful treats I got from my family and friends this year.
