Dior Poison Girl exclusively at Boots
A new Dior fragrance is always something to celebrate, and when the fragrance is also a part of the iconic Poison family, the reason to celebrate gets a little bit stronger. Poison Girl has been described as the ultimate scent for the modern-day girl, with a bitter sweet floral scent that combines the best of fruit and flowers, along with Venezuelen Tonka beans. Destined to become a favourite with those who love a recognisable signature scent, the Eau de Parfum is now available at Boots in 30, 50 and 100ml bottles. I was sent a sample of Dior’s Poison Girl to test drive, and I have to say that it…

The Sweet scent of Baby Powder from The Library of Fragrance
The very best of perfumes and fragrances are always evocative. They evoke the memories of a special time, a place, an event or a person, and this makes them important as they transport you from the daily norm. When I smell Lancome Miracle I go back to my wedding day, Lou Lou still reminds me of my teenage years – it was my first grown up perfume, whilst if I smell 4711 I think of my nan, she loved it so I sometimes wear it in her honour.

Debenhams Spring Beauty Event
On Saturday I went along to the lovely branch of Debenhams based at Intu Merry Hill for a very special beauty and pampering event.

I love Elemis, using lots of their products in my skincare regime, from the new cleansing balm, to the hero product Pro Collagen Marine Cream. Unfortunately, I had a skin break out on Saturday…

Even though human beings are naturally social creatures, there are times when people are apprehensive and reluctant to step out of their private shells and comfort zones to meet and mingle with others around them. This usually stems from confidence and self-esteem issues, there are people out there who shy away from social interactions because they feel that they are not good looking or qualified enough to present themselves to the public. It’s a good thing that by tweaking their daily beauty and health regimen as well as their grooming practices, these shy and timid people will finally find their lost confidence once again. Soon enough, these poor folks will…

L’Occitaine and GlossyBox Pamper shopping event
Last Wednesday beauty fans and bloggers gathered in Birmingham’s Pavilions shopping centre to attend a great beauty event hosted by Provencal beauty brand L’Occitaine, and Glossybox. The event was a chance to see all the new ranges that L’Occitaine has introduced lately, and also to try some of the products, with 15% discount offered on anything you then chose to buy. I’ve been a huge fan of L’Occitaine for a good many years, loving in particular the floral scents and the Almond Oil products, so this event was perfect for me to get the opportunity to see experience some of the products I haven’t used before. One of the collections…
