Vitamin C, the holy grail of brightening, anti-ageing and turning back the clock, oh how I love it! Let me first say that this is not sponsored (unfortunately); I have been sent no free products from my fave skincare line; Indeed Labs . I am simply a skincare fangirl for this amazing range that has transformed my anti-ageing skincare regime over the last few years. Earlier in the summer Indeed Labs FINALLY launched a Vitamin C serum . Anyone who has tried to find a good Vitamin C serum will know just how expensive it can get. This one from Indeed Labs is not cheap but doable at £24.99 - especially when you take into account the special offers at Boots and how little product you actually need. Vitamin C24 My favourite anti-oxidant comes in the form of L-Ascorbic Acid at a whopping 22%; it's a thick cream with a texture unlike anything else I've used. It absorbs quickly, turns my face completely matte and gives a slight stinging sensation which is totally normal and strangely re...

1 area where I really do think the kitchen cupboards are the best option are facemasks! What's more, you don't even need a long list of ingredients to make a nourishing, soothing and brightening treat for your skin; there are a bunch of ingredients which work perfectly well as facemasks all on their own. From overnight to 15 minutes , here are my favourite 1 ingredient facemasks! 1. Honey Definitely a hero skincare ingredient - great for acne AND hydration! BENEFITS: hydrating, soothing, anti-acne, antibacterial and brightening HOW TO: Simply apply a layer onto your skin with your finger tips, leave it on as long as you like and rinse off. 10 minutes or an hour? it's up to you! I wouldn't recommend sleeping in this one... EXTRA TIPS: *Honey becomes much runnier as it warms so don't apply too much! *It's particularly good if you have an event later as it works wonders as a brightening treatment. *As soon as you add water to your face to rinse away, the stic...

Glycolic Acid is a wonderful chemical exfoliant but is so often really expensive! At such a small price, can the Superdrug Glycolic Overnight Peel make a difference to my acne-prone skin? Read on for a full review! A few weeks ago, a combination of factors had made my skin very very angry! My chin was host to a number of lurkers, blackheads and those hard red spots that can never be popped and seem to stick around forever. Bottom line; I needed a new chemical exfoliant . Luckily, Superdrug was running a promotion across a lot of its own brand skincare so I picked up this Glycolic Overnight Peel for half price (just under £3 ) to try out...

First Impressions The consistency is a clear gel which is quite runny when I apply. It dries very quickly and so I added a little bit more on to my chin. It's fragranced and so may not be suitabl...

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!

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...
