Hello and welcome to my blog!

This has been a long time coming; I decided to start my own beauty blog 7 years ago and (punctuality not being my strong point) so it begins!

My original plan was a kind of ‘Hotel Babylon’ for beauty (the Spa version if you will) detailing the day-to-day occurrences within spas and salons; there is many a funny/cringe-worthy/icky story to tell but none without betraying any client trust, so I shelved the idea.

Fast forward a few years, and beauty blogs are huge! (stating the obvious I know). With the vast array of products available to us, it makes sense that so many of us now make our beauty purchases based on reviews from bloggers in the know. My aim is to be your new ‘helper/adviser/blogger/friend’ (delete as appropriate) for all your skincare and make up needs! Big talk!

I have worked, hands-on in the beauty biz for 17 years, from small boutique spas and clinics, to 5* Hotels, and in more recent years as a successful Make-Up Artist. I am a qualified (and experienced) beauty therapist, skin specialist and make-up artist, I fully understand typical skin conditions and how to correct/avoid/hide them! I also understand beauty products and their ingredients and how they can benefit us…..or not. With all these years of experience and know-how, I will be trialling beauty products and make-up and giving you my honest review of them to help you make informed decisions before you part with your hard earned cash. I am open to any beauty questions and suggestions of products to review.

So, as I said, ‘big talk’! Let’s hope I live up to it!
