Oh So Rosie!

The Body Shop Drops of Youth Liquid Peel I remember way back in the winter when I brought something from The Body Shop and the lady tried to sell me the Youth Liquid Peel. She demo-ed it on my somewhat reluctant hand. I have to say after the demo I was quite intrigued, the product makes clumps of dead skin on the surface of your skin and my hand did definitely feel softer.  The lady in the shop kind of said it was an exfoliator and in a way I guess it is.  Product clumping Anyway, well over a month ago I dragged my boyfriend into The Body Shop and then remembered about this product and showed him it, we both wondered whether it was just a massive gimmick. Like if they put high amounts of alcohol in the product and this evaporated quicker than the rest, you would be left with little clumps of product. We decided to bite the bullet and buy it and see what happened. Now, I'm still in two minds whether this is a gimmicky product. Tristan used it on his nos...

I am awful for exfoliating, always have been and hopefully won't always will be. However a few months back I decided to buy myself a new scrub. I was in lush with a basket half full and I thought wellll, whilst I'm here I'll just try this one.

When using Lush's Ocean Salt scrub your skin instantly feels smoother, softer and brighter. So it really does what it says in the tin. To be honest I haven't tried this on my body. I think this is because I was in the mind of buying a face scrub at the time it and didn...

I have never done a Summer Edit post so I thought; I’m going to dip my toe into that pool of Summer Edits. I have complied a small list of products that I think you need in your life for summer. Liz Earle Bronzing Fluid. I love this product. With the bronzing fluid you can mix this into moisturisers to give you a lovely natural looking summer glow.  You can also apply it under your foundation to achieve a beautiful dewy finish.  And also apply it like a bronzer - I think this is my favourite way of using it this year.  Since coming back from holiday I don’t want to completely change my foundation, but I also quite like having a lighter foundation to act as a bit of a t-zone highlight. Once I have applied my foundation I take a stippling brush, apply a little product and on the back of my hand stipple the product around to get an even distribution to on the brush and then apply it to the areas which would naturally get tanned. This keeps the your makeup ...
