I am super lazy when it comes to my hair, and any shortcuts that mean I can put off the whole styling of wet hair thing are good with me. Like many wise humans, I have come to depend on dry shampoo to save me from the blow dryer. I had an interesting chat on…
One of my favourite luxury beauty brands is the French line, Leonor Greyl. The line was started by Mme Greyl and her husband in the late 60s and was the first hair care line to introduce vitamins into haircare. They created the first dandruff shampoo without coal tar.

Oh my, oh my, oh my. That’s my reaction every time I apply Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540.

During a very stressful time in her life, Yasmine’s…

The beautiful, magical, boho beauties that is everywhere, especially on social media and blogs.

Guerlain changed the way we add a glow to our skin with their Météorites powder in 1987. They had already revolutionized our tans with their Terracotta, which is to this day the best bronzing powder.
