Origins Christmas Ginger Essence per...

I love the smell of ginger as it makes me think of wintry nights where you are wrapped up warm, roaring fires, snowflakes, OK any type of Xmas movie where you get an idealized image of Winter. Origins Ginger Essence has been a favourite classic of mine for years and I love the...

L’Artisan Parfumeur Christmas

I’m a massive fab of L’Artisan Parfumeur products as the scents that escape through these amazingly crafted candles and perfumes are divine- they’re as if your nose has gone on holiday to Willy Wonkas world of delight and refused to return. I adore their...

Style Me Vintage Hair and Makeup Tut...

I love vintage hairstyles but due to being rather rubbish with my hands have never achieved the looks at home. I’ve watched zillions of YouTube tutorials, and still no Victory Rolls ;.( This may all change though, as the Style Me Vintage book has some of the sweetest step...

Jo Malone Roasted Chestnut scented c...

What does Christmas smell like to you? It reminds me of old movies, Home Alone, pine bristles and the sickly smell of too much chocolate. Jo Malone have tried to capture the essence in a candle, but rather than go the Cranberry route they’ve taken the Chestnut stance and...

What would go in your beauty hamper?

I was recently the lucky recipient of a delightful Regency Hamper (well, it is Xmas time). It was Grrrreat (in the words of Tony the Tiger). Posh shortbread, wine, three types of cheese, amazing chocolate- well, it didn’t last long, but it had me smiling all day. It did...

Pupa Angel Globe Make-up Collection

Pupa isn’t a brand you hear very much about nowadays. This could be becauses they’re concentrating on their overseas clients, but I feel that’s a shame, especially when we get makeup palettes/ornaments that are as decorative as this. The Pupa Milano Angel...

Jean Paul Gaultier Classique EDT Chr...

I’m a big fan of Jean Paul Gaultier scents, and yes, I totally admit that’s partly due to the AMAZING bottles. The latest one from their stable is equally stunning, the traditional Classique bottle with a new style. The corset has come off, and the baubles are out,...

I love Christmas. Think presents, repetitive songs and baubles and twinkly lights everywhere. Oh, and did I mention the NAIL ART? Yes, now you can draw (or try to) Santa’s, snowmen, anything seasonal and snowflaky to your hearts content. I’d like to claim that I...
