Comvita Radiance Plus Moisturiser – Brilliant Stuff!Beauty by Mrs C - June 16, 2011Comvita Radiance Plus Moisturiser is a really lovely moisturiser which you're meant to use at night after cleansing and toning.I've never been one for toning so in my case I use it after taking my make-up off every night. I haven't tried using it in the daytime yet but I'm tempted to, as it doesn't seem at all greasy to me like many of
Not Too Sure About Weleda Skin FoodBeautyShopping and About Town by Mrs C - June 6, 2011September 26, 2011Anyone who has read any of my blogs will know what a massive Weleda fan I am but I have to say I was a little disappointed with my latest purchases.First of all, Weleda Skin Food ....Yes it hydrates dry skin but no more than similar cheaper products. For me anyway, it also has quite an unpleasant smell. I wanted to try it for
Who Is Marli Harwood?Rants and Raves by Mrs C - May 24, 2011May 24, 2011If you haven't heard of Marli Harwood, I reckon you will soon.Back in February her brilliantly catchy single 'It's Called A Heart' was Radio 2's Record of the Week and her new single Billy is already on the Radio 2 playlist. Both the songs can be found on her debut album 'Clocks And Full Stops ' which is well worth a listen to. My favourite
Living Nature Nourishing Day CreamBeauty by Mrs C - May 20, 2011Like all the moisturisers I've bought from the MyPure website, Living Nature Nourishing Day Cream is completely free of all the usual nasties you find in most of them. I wouldn't say this one was particularly special but it's certainly a good everyday moisturiser. It's a tad creamier than I like for daytime but it nevertheless sinks in quite quickly and within 5 minutes

Am I Pedantic or Just Out of Touch?Rants and Raves by Mrs C - April 19, 2011April 19, 2011Which annoying expressions or 'grammar 'issues' get right up your nose? Below are just a few things that irritate the hell out of me.......Like. It's like really annoying when people like say like all the time. Try like eavesdropping on an excitable bunch of teenage girls next time you're in Starbucks. Then try and like count the number of 'likes'. I promise you'll give up
Japan Aid is LushBeautyShopping and About Town by Mrs C - April 11, 2011If you want to help a good cause and smell good too, then buy one of Lush’s LIMITED EDITION Japan Aid soaps and all the proceeds will go to the relief effort in Japan. The soap is a fiver, which isn't far off what you'd spend in a visit to Starbucks and spending it will make you feel very virtuous!The powers-that-be at Lush were as
Senzimi SkincareBeauty by Mrs C - April 8, 2011I've been using Senzimi Cleanser and Moisturiser over the past few weeks and apart from the scent of the cleanser, I am pretty impressed.The cleanser has an unfortunate scent for what is basically a good and very effective product. No such problem with the moisturiser though and this is one I will almost definitely buy again.The sensitive daily moisturiser is absorbed easily enough although when
A’kin Skin Care Lavender & Rose Moisturising Night CreamBeauty by Mrs C - March 21, 2011March 21, 2011Before I go any further, let me just say that I love, love, love A'kin Lavender & Rose Moisturising Night Cream. The scent alone is a winner. So many of the 'natural' moisturisers, I've been trying recently, smell quite unpleasant but this one is lovely. (Although the A'kin daytime rose-scented one still remains my alltime favourite.) The lavender-scented anti-oxidant Night Time Face Cream includes alpha
