Simply Straight: Ceramic Coated Straightening Brush


Today I'll be reviewing a product that has intrigued me ever since I first saw it: Simply Straight - a straightening hair brush by JML. In a nutshell, it's a hairbrush with ceramic plates that heat up sufficiently to straighten your hair. It claims to be quick, safe and gentle on the hair - a better alternative to the conventional straightener. I'm sure you'll agree that sounds great, but did it live up to expectations?

PHB Beauty: Acne/Blemish Skincare


PHB Ethical Beauty is a brand that I love to feature on my blog - not only because they make fantastic products, but also because of the principles they stand for. Today I'll be reviewing two skincare products from the acne/blemishes skin concern range: the anti-blemish treatment gel and the balancing exfoliator. I've recently been taking my fourth year medical exams - so my skin was, unfortunately, in the perfect state to see if these products worked!

benecos: Apricot & Elderflower Body Peeling Scrub


The key to more radiant and silky-smooth skin is to exfoliate. With the summer coming up, it's the perfect time to invest in a new body scrub to get your body looking bikini-ready. 'benecos' have recently brought out a fantastic new body exfoliator that I couldn't wait to try out. If you haven't heard of the brand before, they're a company that develop natural cosmetics, skincare and haircare. All of their products are vegan, BDIH certified and are made from plant extracts controlled by organic farming. Above all of that, they also are sulphate free and do not contain any nasties like paraffin, parafens, silicones, PEG, synthetic colours, fragrances or preservatives. 
For the past couple of months I've been using their Apricot and Elderflower Body Peeling Scrub. Read on to hear my thoughts...
