Endless loops of nail polish and nail varnish remover have meant their condition has been getting worse and worse, and two weeks of fake nails have really sealed the deal: my finger nails are completely ruined! They’re so dry and brittle that they’ve been reduced to painful stumps, and they’re literally peeling back in layers […]
Lemons

I’m an A2 student, I’m hard-wired to write conclusions and evaluations for everything. I bought the six masks in my Post-Christmas-New-Year-Boots-Trolley-Dash. They were only £1 each and on 3 for 2, […]
Face Mask Mini-Series: Week Six

It’s Week Five of the Face Mask Mini-Series, and I only have two masks left to review! When it came to choosing this week’s, I really want to use Week Four’s Black Seaweed Peel-Off Mask again as I loved it so much. But for reviewing purposes, I reached for Creamy Coconut instead. Of the face […]

The world is full of things that are amazingly beneficial for our health and beauty, and in my opinion these ingredients work far better than synthetic, chemically ones. My inner-hippie likes the idea of reconnecting with Mother […]
