Yves Saint Laurent Forever Youth Liberator SerumBeauty by Mrs C - January 3, 2012Yves Saint Laurent's Forever Youth Liberator Serum is a new skincare product which, according to the 'blurb' anyway, is based on on glycobiology.It seems that the sciencey bods at Yves Saint Laurent have discovered that as we get older the number of glycans in our skin diminishes. Apparently this leads to the cells 'locking' and and consequently delays the skin's regeneration. Yves Saint Laurent say
Next Womens ShoesShopping and About Town by Mrs C - December 23, 2011I've been wanting a pair of nude platform high heels for a while now and it was just my luck to choose a pair from the Next site recently which were out of stock.I spent absolutely ages trying to decide which ones to go for only to find out right at the checkout that they were no longer available. It was so annoying. Having said
Weleda Birch Cellulite OilBeauty by Mrs C - December 20, 2011I started using the Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil at the beginning of December and thought I'd give it at least a few weeks before I commented on it.Firstly, it has a kind of fresh citrussy scent which smells really scrummy. It's also a surprisingly good moisturiser. Yes it's oily but doesn't leave your skin too oily for hours afterwards although funnily enough it did make
Sally Lunn’s BunsChristmas BlogsFood and Drink by Mrs C - December 9, 2011 Lovely visit to Bath Christmas Market yesterday ostensibly to buy some last-minute bits & bobs for Xmas but really just to get in the Christmas mood.It's one of the best Christmas Markets in The UK but I've been to lots of the popular German ones and I think it's better than many of them.Sally Lunn's Buns though was one of the day's highlights. Apparently it's
Baylis & Harding ProductsBeautyChristmas Blogs by Mrs C - December 5, 2011December 5, 2011 I really love Baylis & Harding stuff! It's one of those brands which somehow manage to make their products & packaging look and feel like a luxury brand for supermarket prices. And we're not talking Waitrose here either! I remember raving about the Baylis & Harding Coconut & Lime Hand Lotion last year and as I write my downstairs loo is host to the Baylis & Harding
BooBoo Miracle OilBeauty by Mrs C - November 28, 2011I've been using the BooBoo Super Stretchy Miracle Oil for a couple of weeks now and I think this could be my overall Must Have Beauty Product for 2011.It's said to help prevent stretchmarks forming but I'm well past that stage. I wanted to try it out because I liked the fact that it claims to be 'perfect for dry, ageing and uneven skin tone'
A Few Christmas Gift IdeasChristmas Blogs by Mrs C - November 25, 2011November 28, 2011 A few Christmas gift ideas which won't break the bank......Heyland & Whittle Hope & Glory Candle is absolutely gorgeous. It's made from natural soy so it burns much more evenly. Not only does it smell nicer than virtually any candle I've ever had but it looks really luxurious and expensive too. A fab pressie for just about any woman.Thorntons is always a good stand-by for

Maddie has painted her own flowers on. She's always been good at arty things and is a bit more patient when it comes to stuff like this. Maddie painted her nails with Rimmel Lycra Pro Professional
Living Nature Nourishing Hand CreamBeauty by Mrs C - November 20, 2011On the hunt for easily absorbed hand cream on Google, I happened upon Living Nature Nourishing Hand Cream.So many of the hand creams I've tried recently have made my hands sticky for ages after applying and quite simply don't really do the job. This Living Nature Hand Cream is lovely though. If I feel my hands are a bit dry, I can rub some in
Lush Lip Scrubs and Lip TintsBeautyChristmas Blogs by Mrs C - November 15, 2011November 22, 2011 I've found a brilliant Lip Scrub from Lush called Pow Wow ! I suppose it's kind of like a gentle lip exfoliator. You just put a small amount on your finger and apply it to your lips in a circular motion. The popping candy and the sugar gently scrubs the lips and the jojoba oil soothes them. The added rose hip oil and argan oil keep
