Green tea has become really popular in the health world lately, with endless amounts of benefits for detoxifying your body. If it can do that to your body, imagine what it can do for your skin. Last night I popped along to the Fuji Green Tea Ceremony in The Body Shop…

Although it was a short month, February was a good ‘un for beauty! Nearly all of the products are new bits I’ve gotten in the past few weeks, with one oldie and a piece of jewellery thrown in. Here’s to March and hoping every month features that many nice products!…

Although I’ve more makeup brushes than I’d like to admit, I find myself using the same one over and over again for different products when I’m doing my makeup. The Real Techniques Buffing Brush is a cult classic, and for good reason. It’s the only brush I ever use to apply…
