My most used makeup brushes

The only makeup brushes you need, My most used makeup brushes

I must own between 80-100 makeup brushes, which is completely ridiculous and unnecessary! As with most things, I tend to only use my favourites and realistically, they're all that I need - yes, multiples are handy so I don't have to wash every time I use them but they're not actually necessary. I was away on three separate occasions in December and only packed my favourite brushes each time. Let me share my most used brushes with you...

Which Kérastase range is for you?

Which Kérastase range is for you?

There's no doubting that Kérastase is my absolute favourite haircare brand. I dabble in others but Kérastase has been a staple in my routine for over 25 years at this stage! I think I've used products from pretty much all of the ranges apart from Curl Manifesto and the range for men. I find that everything I've tried from the brand has really improved my hair in terms of strength, elasticity, growth, bounce and shine. Also, a little goes a long way with everything so whilst they are more expensive than supermarket brands, the value is there long term, plus my BEAUTYLYMIN code will save you 21% on the products on Look Fantastic (not sponsored, I just always love to share discounts!). If you're wondering which range would suit your hair best, keep reading...

A (very) late 2025 beauty favourites

The best beauty products of 2025

Is it too late to wish you all a Happy New Year?! Yes, probably but I'm doing it anyway! Things have been quiet around these parts for a while because we had a busy December, a lovely Christmas and then the dreaded flu hit earlier this month plus gloomy days that don't make it easy to take photos, which both delayed my return to the blog. It may seem a little late to share 2025 favourites but I wanted to because I used some great products last year that I either already have, or will, repurchase this year. So, let's get into it! I have a mixture of skincare, makeup, bodycare, fragrance and tools and will include any discount codes that I can find in case you want to buy!
