Everyone’s heard of night creams; lotions and potions applied overnight designed to leave skin feeing  rejuvenated and replenished the morning after.  Well, now there are overnight treatments for your hair too. Not one for nightime skin creams, I was somewhat sceptical about trying Kerastase‘s Noctogenist Serum Nuit: “the first tailored overnight treatment...

With the practically-artic conditions we are facing at the moment rendering our poor lips dry, rough, chapped and in desperate need of some T.L.C there seemed no better time to road test Dr Andrew’s conditioning lip balm by ‘Origins’. This particular product claimed to ‘rapidly restore softness and smoothness to overly parched lips’ so what’s the verdict…..

At some point, every single one of us needs a magic wand hair product to fix a hair emergency. For me it starts when I pull my head from the pillow, finally turn off the alarm that has been on snooze for 40 minutes, rub the sleep from my eyes and confront the mirror. Until now I thought the only solution was a good hat. So when this Tigi Catwalk Fast-Fix styling mist...

This product comes with some rather ambitious claims, such as: ‘instantly revives radiance around the eyes and disguises signs of fatigue’. This sounded like music to my ears after the pro-longed partying which accompanied Christmas and New Year had taken its toll! I’d heard good things about Darphin, so was expecting a lot (perhaps a little too much) from this...

Does anyone know what a micro-optic luminizer is? How about a brightening complex? No? Oh well, this moisturizer has them both. The gist is that they’re supposed to brighten the skin, boost its clarity, even your skin tone and give it a translucent appearance. That’s all you really wanted to know wasn’t it? Anyway, over complicated scientific jargon aside, they’re...

I’ve decided I’m going to lobby Trading Standards. I want them to make it compulsory for cosmetic companies to put nutritional information on lip balms. I consume enough of the stuff, I really should know how many calories are in it. Infact, maybe that’s where my new year diet is going wrong.

I’m not going to lie, when it comes to hair products I don’t tend to experiment much. Although maybe this is because I once stumbled across gold with Tigi’s Bed Head, and didn’t need to venture elsewhere. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Bed Head, but I hadn’t before come across ‘Ego Boost’, the split end mender/leave...
