Well darling, I’m glad you asked! In the upcoming weeks, I’ll be doing an exciting 4-part series on skincare: The Truth About Cleansing, Toning, Exfoliating and Moisturising. This knowledge is the most important aspect of good skincare and, when it comes to questions I’ve had from beauty clients, steps to good skin is definitely the most [...]
// THE RIGHTEOUS BUTTER This was the very first S&G product I purchased, simply because of the raving reviews I had read online. As soon as I picked it up I knew it would soon become a staple item on my dressing table. The packaging really caught my eye as the container has quite a [...]
When it comes to grooming, are arms the new peer pressure? There’s a funny thing happening in lady land, and it’s by no means a new occurrence. It’s always been there in the background, quietly humming away, but always reminding us of its presence. What is it, you ask? Why, it’s the battle of the [...]
Eyebrows are an important feature of our faces. They can define and change the whole look of our facial features and expressions, and when done well, can enhance our face beautifully. Eyebrows should generally be left well enough alone, especially during teenage years, as your bodies are still developing, including your eyebrows. Their growth and [...]

Okay, so ‘Scouse Brows’ is the official name for those thick, dark and heavily drawn on eyebrows you might have seen around lately. This trend originated in Liverpool, England (along with the name) and has since won the hearts of women all over the world…I only wish this weren’t true. Scouse Brows are definitely a [...]
Benefit have really hit the nail on the head recently with the launch of their most recent products.

The age old debate: what kind of makeup to wear to school? A lot of schools do let their ladies wear makeup (within reason), but there are still plenty of schools that don’t allow it at all. Teenage Girl’s Survival Guide is here to help, as I give you the tips and tricks for both [...]
Mornings suck, we all know they do! I for one wake up in the mornings and immediately dive back under the covers; but unfortunately most of us have school. We have to get up. So the best way to start your day is to cleanse your face with Dermalogica Clean Start Wash Off. Not only [...]
// THE BODY SHOP SPA WISDOM™ POLYNESIA LIME & COCONUT SHOWER GEL A confessed Body Shop addict, I’ve smelt this so many times in the stores – and probably annoyed the shop assistants a bit with my constant “Oh, I’m just looking thanks” – and immediately fell in love with the scent. The scent of [...]
// BUMBLE & BUMBLE MENDING COMPLEX (Available from Mecca Cosmetics) I really appreciate the guy who invented this product. Not because he must have spent a lot of time creating different potions but because the main people he had in mind were the girls of the world with frizzy hair. So thanks, dude. Since having [...]
If there’s one thing I hate, it’s those pesky breakouts that pack their bags and disappear without notice and then two days later they return asking if you’ve got time for them. There are so many different creams, serums, gels, oils {and whatever other form of liquid you can think of} on the market designed [...]

Spring is finally here, and Summer isn’t far behind. After a long wait (depending on what state you reside in) the weather is finally warming up, the trees are blossoming and our spirits are beginning to shine as brightly as the long-absent sunshine we have been waiting for for so long. // Makeup I am [...]
I always find good toners particularly hard to find — especially for teenage skin. With Dermalogica’s All Over Clear spritz you can feel refreshed and revitalised in an instant.

Admittedly, I’m not a very outgoing person — but who says because you’re shy you can’t sport a bright lip colour? I absolutely adore Lancôme’s L’absolu Rouge lipstick {so much so, that it has earnt itself top position on my dressing table}. This lipstick is extremely creamy but doesn’t rub off during the day, which is [...]
This blush appeared in my dreams once. Not joking. I dreamt I went out to buy it. Weird, but probably a sign I was destined to have it. Naughty name aside, NARS blush in Orgasm is one that deserves to be raved about. The packaging is really lovely and unique; the case is soft and [...]
I have never had an amazing moisturiser, so when I got my hands on Welcome Matte from Dermalogica I was quite dubious towards it. But after I used it a few times, it landed the role of my skin’s best friend. I was wary not to apply too much of this moisturiser, however it does [...]
I love eyeliner! It’s a must-have anywhere I go. I have eyeliner in my schoolbag, in my going away bag, in my bathroom, in my locker, EVERYWHERE! I love any eyeliner that glides on easily and stays the entire day without smudging. In an effort to get you perfectly defined eyes, I tried many different [...]
Ever wondered exactly what your skin type is? There are some simple tell-tale signs to give you a quick and easy diagnosis! But first we must define each type. There are 4 different skin types.
