Great Affordable Moisturisers: The Inkey List
Somewhat unexpectedly, I’m having much better luck lately with reasonably priced moisturisers than I’m having with fancy ones. I really liked what Alex Steinherr did for Primark (and Sali Huges agreed!), found CeraVe lotion to be a solid basic and now, the n..
The Best Affordable Cleanser I’ve Ever Tried
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’m always on the hunt for good, affordable cleansers: I consider cleansing to be of extreme importance and while I’m personally ready to pay a small fortune for a good skin-cleaning product, not everybody can or w..
Drunk Elephant Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser
My obsession with cleansers is well documented, but I haven’t really found anything to add to my Hall of Fame for a while. Omorovicza Hydra Melting Cleanser is beautiful, but doesn’t remove makeup as well as I’d like and is ridiculously expensive. Kat Burki’..
Exercise Update and My Gym Morning Skincare Routine
It’s been 10 months since I started working out properly, with a personal trainer. I don’t do anything spectacular – just resistance training twice a week, with a little bit of cardio thrown in. I’ve been consistent, however, and actually train more often no..
The Cleanser That Made Me Change My Mind: Oskia Renaissance
When I did my big cleanser round-up a couple of years ago, I had bought a full-size bottle of Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel and I wasn’t impressed. It’s possible this was my reaction to the hype surrounding that cleanser, as especially the UK-based blogger..
How Using Retinol Changed My Skincare Routine

Pharmacy Finds: CeraVe and Vichy
I am constantly asked to recommend affordable, decent, no-nonsense skincare products. As you know, that’s not really my strength – I tend to go for insanely expensive and unnecessarily fancy -, but as I refuse to recommend things I haven’t tried myself, I ma..
Three Luxury Cleansers: Omorovicza, Tracie Martyn and Leahlani
I have quite a few things to tell you on the skincare front, both when it comes to products and my routine as a whole. When I started writing the skincare update, I realised it’s impossible to cover it all in one post with any level of detail. I have therefo..
Best of 2018: Skincare
It is that time of the year again. I’m going to tell you what I liked in 2018 – in beauty, books, style and everything else. It is obviously a highly subjective take, as even with my level of obsession, there is a limited amount of stuff I can try. There are..
Cheap Skincare: Alessandra Steinherr x Primark
I had never been inside a Primark store until this autumn, when Alessandra Steinherr launched her skincare line for the brand. For those of you that don’t spend silly amounts of time on Instagram checking people’s skincare routines: she is a former Glamour m..
