Aldi liz earle dupe cheap cleanse and polish

I’m a big fan of Liz Earle’s classic cleanser – it easily removes makeup, the packaging is great, I love the smell. It’s almost perfect… However, sometimes I wince a bit at paying £14.50 for only 100ml of product. You all know how much I enjoy testing out dupes for you, and when I heard Aldi... / READ MORE /

Liz Earle New Sheer Skin Tint Reviewed, and get it free with a skincare set!

I’ve actually been using this on and off for a few weeks, and it’s taken a permanent place in my regular make up collection (you know, the 10% of my cosmetics I actually use – rather than the stuff neatly stored, which when asked about, I get all defensive and say it’s all being “saved” or for “special occasions” and no I absolutely don’t want to throw any of it away!) / READ MORE /

7 days of Liz Earle skincare vs problem skin

As some of you may know, I've been trialling Liz Earle this month, and documenting the effect this has on my skin. I'm a fantastic test subject: I have whiteheads, blackheads, milia, and the ability to grow a rockin' beard should the need ever arise. / READ MORE /

How to (actually) make your nail polish last a whole week

Now, as I’ve mentioned before, my true beauty passion is definitely my nails.
