If you are looking for value and performance then the Body Shop is the place to shop.
The Body Butters and Scrubs all contain sumptuous and moisturising ingredients that leave the body smelling and feeling divine but the best part is that at least one ingredient in each tub is sourced from Fair Trade communities around the world.
Now is a good time to start to prepare your skin for that golden summer tan and exfoliating once/twice a week with a body scrub is essential. It is also important to exfoliate the skin before applying self tan.
When that tan eventually arrives the body butters are a great way to retain your tan. In fact don’t be afraid to keep exfoliating this will also help to retain your tan. Read More »

The Neutrogena Wave isn’t normally the kind of cleansing system I would gravitate towards or probably recommend. On first inspection it appears gimmicky and too mechanical to be an effective yet gentle cleanser.
I would like to say that I was wrong. The Neurtrogena Wave’s cleansing pads are impregnated with a gentle cleanser which leaves the face feeling refreshed. The gentle vibrating of the massage wave is also soothing.
I had a slight problem with what I considered to be a strawberry nose and the Wave has certainly improved the blackhead/open pore situation on my nose. In fact I would be happy to say it improved it on first use and after 2 weeks of use the improvement continued but not as drastic as the first time.
With this in mind I would probably recommend the Neutrogena Wave for use for perhaps when you feel your face needs a blast and use your usual cleanser at other times. Although this makes the Wave sound harsh when it really isn’t and is designed for daily use.
The only draw back is that the wave cannot be used for the eye area so an eye makeup remove would be essential where as with many cleansers this would not be necessary.
In short if you have open pores and blackheads then give the Neutrogena Wave a go. However, if you do have sensitive skin then a patch test is always advisable.
Neutrogena Wave is available from Superdrug £12.72 for a starter pack

Urban Decay are brilliant for imaginative and uber cool make up ideas. Their latest addition to this funky family of makeup is the Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss. If you have always wanted a man in your pocket then this is the perfect lip gloss for you.
Each Lip Gloss lid has a photograph of a fully clothed man. Then with a flick of your wrist the man appears clad in only his underpants. If only life was that simple that with a mere wave of the hand a semi naked man with muscles to match Hercules would appear before you. We can only wish.
Is this product a performer or a gimmick? Well the lip gloss formula is smooth and soothing with a staying power to be happy with. Each shade has a sweet creme brulee flavour which for me is lip gloss heaven. Urban Decay state; “the formula contains Hyaluronic Spheres, known to improve cellular function, prevent dehydration, and fill in lines and wrinkles. The brush applicator is ideal for blending”.

However, these aren’t full size bottles they are teeny weeny cutesy bottles. Perfect for the handbag, holiday, draw at work or your top pocket
The colours are this season’s must have particularly the lilac but all three will see out the summer season in style.

Most ladies have a hang up about something to do with their body. Even the most gorgeous goddess will say to her fellow goddess friends, “I wished I had thinner ankles”.
When I look in the mirror I have several things I would like to alter not least of which is my mirror. That aside my body has quite a few flabby bits, orange peel, droopy boobs, the list is endless. Even when we know that some parts of our body are really quite OK we still pick fault, well some of us do.
Enter the fantastic skin care range from Rodial. Rodial is the creation of Maria Hatzistefanis an internationally educated entrepreneur who won her spurs in a beauty journalism career before launching her own skin care range. Rodial has been influenced by Maria’s Greek grandmother’s skincare secrets and 21st century technology to produce a range that is now the buzz word for an effective alternative to botox and other intrusive treatments.

At Glamourbeans we have been a little bored with the usual celebrity scents (certainly not sense) that has been churned out over the past few years. However, to our relief we can now delight in the new Harajuku range from Gwen Stefani.
This cute range of perfume has been inspired by the electric street scene of the Harajuku shopping district in Tokyo. Each bottle represents one of Gwen Stefani’s backing singers with one bottle representing Gwen herself.
The range includes;
Harajuku Lovers Music
Harajuku Lovers Baby
Harajuku Lovers Lil’Angel
Harajuku Lovers Love
and last but not least Harajuku Lovers Gwen

Day Three of my chocolate quest and I think I have excelled myself. Karin Herzog Chocolate Cleansing cream.
What a heavenly way to cleanse your face. Imagine after a stressful day, whether it’s work, home or a frantic shopping trip and the only thing to look forward to when you get home is a warm cup of coffee and a silky chocolate bar. Then it hits hard and the diet fairy says no to that smooth, melt in your mouth chocolate.
Well hey presto! Boo to the diet fairy you can smooth chocolate all over your face and take refuge in the dark exotic chocolate goodness of Karen Herzog’s Chocolate Cleansing Cream.

It’s the second day of my quest for Chocolate beauty products and I have just discovered this Lip Gloss. This has to be the ultimate in substitution for a calorific Easter egg.
The Tigi Bedhead Lip Gloss Chocolate is a creamy lip gloss with a smooth applicator tip.
Tigi say the lightweight formula of this gloss will hydrate and nourish whilst leaving lips soft, full and shiny.
The best part is yet to come. The lip gloss is available in three exciting flavours;
Chocolate Cappucion, Chocolate Mint and Chocolate Raspberry.

Easter is nearly here and I have decided that Chocolate isn’t really a good idea. As much as I would love to indulge in a yummy chocolate egg, I know I have to loose some weight.
Therefore, I have made it my mission to find chocolate based beauty products to indulge my cocoa desires and to save calories whilst benefiting my body in other ways, ie soft, clean skin.
Don’t get me wrong I may be tempted by an egg. For instance the You Crack Me Up egg by Hotel Chocolate available from John Lewis looks fantastic and I am pretty sure it will taste fantastic but I mustn’t waiver. I am going to stick to chocolate beauty products.
