I bought the Pink Blossom tinted lip balm sceptical as to whether it would actually tint my lips. I bought it at the Boots for €7.99 which is a little pricey for a lip balm in my opinion. It does what it says on the tin; it moisturises and hydrates…
This was the first mineral powder I purchased and at a decent price at €22. It comes in a handy compact with a mirror and separate section for a small sponge. The texture threw me off a little, it’s a powder but is applied so smoothly like a foundation. It…

A little gem I have found is the Environmental Working Group searchable database of cosmetics and care products. Skin Deep has been set up to inform the consumer of the chemical ingredients in products and to allow informed decision making when purchasing products. This is all in an effort to…
