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!

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

  If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out.  The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed.  I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

Isle Of Paradise Self- Tanning Water Review

So throughout the year, I am pretty much Casper the ghost when it comes to having a tan and when summer comes round, I just can't face my translucent legs any longer... bring on the tan! So usually my go to is Bondi Sands, but I was just drawn to the uniqueness of the tanning mist! This comes in three colours, designed to match your skin tone which is pretty cool, there's a pink (light) , green (medium) and purple (dark). I am pale but have an olive undertone to my skin so decided to go for medium because usually the lightest ones don't show up on my skin particularly well. So I did all the usual steps of tanning, 24 hours earlier I exfoliated my skin and moisturised (especially around my ankles and wrists) and then I got down to actually applying it. When you spray this stuff, you're supposed to spray it from a reasonable distance and just keep spritzing until you're basically soaked in the stuff. I had a really hard time getting this to work and I was so dis...
