Perfect when you need a hard working multi-purpose, versatile product that does it all - save money, time and luggage space if you're travelling! Drum roll please.... Shea Butter! My big block of Shea Butter of 100g costs only £2.99 from Naissance - compare that with a 150ml tube of L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream which costs around £19. My 100g goes on and on; here's how I've been LOVING it! Eye Cream My absolute favourite; apply a thick layer under the eyes, on the temples and the lids; when I wake up I'm a toddler!

Facemasks Moisturising/hydrating/brightening facemasks are  particularly important at this time of year check out the perfect times to apply your facemask to get the most out of them. Cheat: Use an  overnight mask - no waiting, no mess, no shockingly cold sheet masks (brr!). Choose a special...

I 'discovered' YouTube back in 2011; a time when I had no idea what a chemical exfoliant was, I was still painting my nails with only 1 colour and, even with my love of make-up, I had never heard of a cut crease. Yesterday, we had our teenage magazines like Shout and Sugar showing us what bronzing pearls are, today, we have YouTube with a wealth of info, creativity and gorgeous tutorials to enjoy. Read on to discover the gurus, tips and videos that changed my (Beauty) life and helped in my journey to clear skin, a great wardrobe and the happiest manicures! Click here for the YouTube playlist of these videos. 1. Michelle Phan - Autumn Amore When I found this video, I was in a make-up rut; I tend to stick to very light eyeshadow with mid tones in the crease. Then, I followed this gorgeous look from Michelle Phan   and re-discovered deeper, warmer browns and bronzes - it was such a change to my normal look, like a new outfit for my face.  As you can tell from the pictures it...
