Just when I thought I’d left all major breakouts behind me, bam – my skin explodes. With blemishes, that is. How could it be?! I thought I finally had this skincare thing down. My skin is by no means flawless, but I can deal with the odd blemish here or there. What…

If anyone sees me in Space NK/ Brown Thomas/ Boots in the next few weeks, please politely pull me outside – I’m on a serious spending ban after this collective beauty haul! Sometimes a girl’s just gotta shop, and last Friday was one of those times. I’d put off going…
