REVIEW | EX1 INVISIWEAR LIQUID FOUNDATION WITH SWATCHES & TUTORIAL/DEMO | ALITTLEKIRAN

Between September and April I have accumulated numerous foundations as they are my favourite product, aside from eyeshadow palettes, to review. Finally, I am getting around to actually talking about them on my blog, on the plus side this means I have used them long enough to provide a proper in-depth tutorial. The foundation to […]

MY FIRST TIME GETTING A CLEANSING FACIAL WITH BLACKHEAD AND SPOT EXTRACTION

Fun story, for my sister’s wedding I really wanted to get a facial because I was noticing that my skin was looking very shit. Texture, spots, blackheads, you name it, it was a lot of work and I needed a purge. My diet was heavily saturated with chocolate because when I am stressed I need […]

REVIEW | L’OREAL SUGAR CLEAR KIWI FACE AND LIP SCRUB PURIFIES AND UNCLOGS PORES | ALITTLEKIRAN

A skincare review as promised! I actually purchased the L’Oreal Paris Smooth Sugar Clear Kiwi Face and Lip Scrub (£10) a few months ago, and I have been using it every other day for almost three months. I have probably about four uses left in my little jar, so I thought it was about time […]

#THISISSKIN BY CULT BEAUTY | UNCOVERING THE SECRETS TO GOOD HEALTHY GLOWING SKIN

Last night I was kindly invited to the This is Skin workshop hosted by Cult Beauty featuring some of their best acne-tackling brands.

The combination of stress, diet, pollution and general modern urban living […]

REVIEW | NIVEA DAILY ESSENTIALS GENTLE EXFOLIATING FACIAL SCRUB | ALITTLEKIRAN

Finding great skincare products for little money is the entire purpose of my existence I feel like.

It is a glorious product, for so many […]

WHEN SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED ABOUT A MOLE? | ALITTLEKIRAN

Moles are surprisingly common. No, we are not talking about the cute, furry variety that lives in underground tunnels with their poor eyesight and wrecks your garden. Rather, we are discussing skin moles: those small brown spots most people have. Unfortunately, although moles are commonplace and most are benign, some do turn out to be […]

FAIL | L’OREAL PURE CLAY DETOX WASH REVIEW & DEMO | ALITTLEKIRAN

REVIEW | L’OREAL HYDRA GENIUS LIQUID CARE ALOE WATER DRY & SENSITIVE SKIN | ALITTLEKIRAN

Clearly, I am easily confused hence the reason I bought a moisturiser specifically formulated for dry and sensitive skin when I have neither. We all know I have oily combination skin and therefore struggle a lot to find basic skincare staples, like an every day moisturiser, at an affordable price point. I thought all my […]

NATURAL LOTION | YOPE 98% NATURAL HAND AND BODY LOTION | ALITTLEKIRAN

I read on one of Rebecca from From Roses’ posts that you either love moisturising or you don’t. I am firmly in the don’t category because it is time consuming and frankly tiring, I got a lotta body surface area to work with. I am, however, trying to change that I have purchased a few […]

ULTIMATE SKINCARE GUIDE FOR MATURE SKIN | ALITTLEKIRAN

For women of a certain age, looking younger can be a constant struggle* as there is no way to entirely stop your skin from aging and the best, most effective, ways tend to cost a pretty penny.

WORTH THE HYPE? | PIXI GLOW TONIC REVIEW | ALITTLEKIRAN

The Pixi Glow Tonic (£18) was made famous by Caroline Hirons, I believe, the queen of skincare, and while the Black Friday Deals were happening I scooped a bottle up. I have been using it for three months now so I had plenty of time to really think about what I thought of it. So […]
