An Introduction to Eve Lom

Eve Lom is a brand that I just came across recently and from the very first product I was hooked. Here, I look at a couple of their most renowned products and fill you in on why they are cult classics.

Eve Lom's products really are a thing to behold and their famed Cleanser really is a wonder. You have to try it to really understand why there is so much fuss about a simple cleanser but simple it is not and little pot of magic is a lot more suitable description. Everything I have tried from the brand is the best version of each particular product on the market and here I take a look at the Eve Lom Cleanser, Kiss Mix lip balm and the Morning Time Cleanser. Once you discover the brand it's very hard not to want to try everything they produce to be quite honest and see what other wonders they are capable of.

Give it a Glow! An Introduction to Apivita

It was just by chance I came upon Greek Brand Apivita a couple of months ago and in it I found one of the most glowingly effective,immediately revitalizing skincare products.

While in Spain with a friend before Christmas we constantly had our eyes open for quality skincare brands that either we'd never heard of before or brands that we had heard people rave about but hadn't been available over here in Ireland or in the UK where my friend lives. It was a pampering and relaxing holiday, badly needed by both of us, so we had a lot of fun popping on face masks and trying out new products but one in particular really surprised us both.

It's an understatement to say how much mums do for us over the course of their lifetime and, of all people, they deserve a pampering what ever the occasion. This is a list of tried and trusted skincare treats for any type of mum.

L'Occitane's big autumn release has been causing a huge stir among beauty writers of late. The exceptionally luxurious Créme Masque Divine, which comes with a 24-carat gold face massager is the closest thing you can get to a top of the line spa facial from the comfort of your own home.

Aromachologie it Relaxation: L'Occitane's Latest Rebalancing Aromachologie Collection

L'Occitane has just made some major new additions to their deliciously relaxing Aromachologie range this autumn with lots of gorgeous smelling new products to help you unwind and relax. The whole new line is designed as a Rebalancing range of products to help you find some zen with select essential oils and very skin-pampering products.

I've already written in detail about two products I absolutely love from L'Occitane's Aromachologie  range, the 5 Essential Oils Repairing Shampoo and Conditioner which you can read about here. Apart from being one of the most amazing treatments for stressed out hair, what really struck me - and anyone I got to try the products out - was the smell. The 5 Essential Oils is the one of the most relaxing smells I've ever noticed in a product so upon seeing a whole new range of products from the Aromachologie range for face and body from the brand I must say I was very excited indeed.

My Precious: L'Occitane's Immortelle Precious Collection

L'Occitane's Immortelle Collection has already become a classic among skincare lovers so these three additions to the range come as welcome new releases and are skincare at its best.

L'Occitane's Immortelle Collection was originally launched over ten years ago around their patented Corsican Immortelle Flower which is known as an everlasting flower that never fades, even after it's been picked. The collection has grown over the years and has garnered much acclaim for its anti-aging properties.  Now, the brand has launched three new products for the range, all with the Immortelle anti-aging properties as well as practical makeup and skincare capabilities.

Lip Service: The Best Lip Balms From Kiehl's, Eve Lom, Nuxe, Cowshed and Vaseline

If you're anything like me the recent dip in temperature and extremely wintery conditions have left you with quite put-upon skin and very chapped lips. After a lot of trialling various lip saviours I decided to share my findings of the most effective - and some darn right luxurious - lip balms I have discovered from Kiehl's, Eve Lom, Nuxe, Cowshed and, let's not forget, good old Vaseline!

We all know the trials and tribulations your skin goes through during extreme weather conditions, especially in recent times when here in Ireland, Europe and not to talk of the "Snowcopalypse" in New York, we've experienced cold so severe it actually hurts whatever area of skin you haven't been able to cover up. Add to that the extremes of going from below freezing temperatures straight into central heating and open fires and there's no time of the year that puts your skin under so much duress. No two areas feel these extremes more than lips and hands and I've gone through a lot of chapped lips and uncomfortably dry hands to find the best products to tackle these problems! I've already compiled my all time favourite hand-saving products here and now it's time for some lip remedies!
