My Santorini Beauty Adventure

While I was on my honeymoon in the beautiful, Greek Island of Santorini, I saw an article on Into The Gloss by Tom Newton about Greek Pharmacies and the hidden beauty gems you can find there, so I decided to go on my own little greek adventure!



I had my eye on a few skincare essentials before I arrived and couldn't resist picking a few up whilst I was there! The first brand I had my eye on were the Apivita face and hair masks, I picked up the Moisturising Sea Lavender face pack and the aloe face pack as my skin was super dehydrated from the 39 degree Celsius weather and really needed a nice round of moisture and rehydration. I also got the moisturising hair pack as my hair was really feeling it from the hot weather!




The next brand I was dying to try was Korres, as it's pretty hard to find in the UK and it originates from Athens, so when in Greece! I love a good hand cream so picked up this olive blossom hand cream, for the flight home as it was travel sized. I also picked up two of their body milks as I have developed a real love for investing in products for my body and not just my face. I bought the white blossom and yogurt scents and thoroughly enjoyed lathering my skin in them after a shower! I also picked up their olive stones scrub for a nice pamper day once I was home after a long day of traveling, this was a harsh exfoliant so will save for days when my skin is in special need.

I loved the products I purchased and can't wait to get back to Greece to pick up more essentials!

Reviewing Bioderma's Hydrabio Range

If you've followed my blog for a few years, you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands. Their Micellar water is a product I refuse to live without and I've gone through too many to count. I was over the moon when Bioderma kindly sent me their Hydrabio Range* to try. The Hydrabio range is aimed at combating dehydrated, dry, skin, which I'm especially prone to in winter. 1. Hydrabio Makeup Removing Micellar Water Now, Bioderma's Sensibio micellar water is a holy grail skincare product in my collection. Believe it or not, I didn't realise Bioderma did other varieties of micellar water for different skin concerns. I've been using the Hydrabio micellar water for a few days and I do find my skin feels more hydrated and plump, compared to the sensibio one. It removes makeup just as well as the Sensibio micellar water and I find the Hydrabio micellar water to be a little more gentle and soothing. I would definitely repurchase the Hydrabio version in...

July Empties

 Ahhh another month another empties blog. I actually got through quite a bit of makeup this month, which is unusual for me as it's usually skincare I crank through.  The first product I used up was my beloved Glossier Futuredew. I didn't realise how much I loved this until it was gone. My makeup feels so much different without this as a base and I do miss it as part of my makeup routine. I have a few other primers to get through but I will definitely repurchase this one in the future. The second product I used was my benefit liquid eyeliner. I did like this liner; it's opaque, the felt tip is quite nice and it lasted such a long time before drying up. I do prefer brush tipped eyeliners as I find with hooded eyes my winged eyeliner always looks a lot more precise than with a pen style. So I purchased the KVD liquid eyeliner instead, but the benefit eyeliner is great just not my favourite.  My third empty is my smash box primer water. I adore this spray, it comes out as a f...

Glossier Skywash Review

Whenever Glossier launches anything, I just can't resist! I always loved the idea of swipe on liquid eyeshadows, but Glossiers lidstar's were just too shimmery for my taste... but Skywash.... right up my alley! These are matte liquid Eyeshadows, which claim to be buildable, long lasting (up to twelve hours) and easy to apply. I bought the shades echo, a cocoa brown and terra, a warm orange based brown. I love the concealer, doe foot like applicator, as it is small enough to swipe a good amount on my eyelid, without smearing it everywhere. I honestly can't tell you how easy these are to apply and blend out. A quick swipe on my eye and tap tap tap... I have a gorgeous wash of colour that's not patchy and looks divine! I love how quick and easy these are to apply and the fact they applied evenly really shocked me. They are also buildable, applying two coats gives me more of an evening look and a stronger wash of colour. To be honest... they aren't super long wear...
