Percy & Reed – Wonder Range

I must confess, I have tried Percy and Reed many times before and adore the wonder balm so I was intrigued to discover the newest editions to the ‘wonder range’ – wonder wash shampoo and wonder care conditioner. What’s the deal? The ‘wonderland’ range adapts to your hairs individual needs nourishing and protecting where needed with a gentle and caring formula. Packaging I adore the packaging of Percy and Reed as it’s quirky, unique and fun. Each different collection has a different ‘girl’ and they certainly stand out on the shelves. Shampoo & Conditioner The shampoo (£18) has a luxurious formula … Continue reading Percy & Reed – Wonder Range

Paris Attractions

Paris has a certain je ne said quoi and my trip had a decisively different appeal as a solo traveller. The culture, history and artistic flare that the city has is unmistakable. As promised this post will give you an overview of the places that I visited. Sacre Coeur On my first day after checking in at the hotel Les Matins de Paris (see my post here about the hotel and its fantastic location) it was a short 15 minute walk to Sacre Coeur, which is in the 18th arrondissement. The Montmartre area around the Sacre Coeur is full of … Continue reading Paris Attractions

City Break – Paris

In August 2017 I spent a long weekend in Paris having only been once before – where we stayed at a friend’s apartment and I was keen to explore the city some more. Getting to France is really easy especially if you live near London you have the option of getting the Eurostar to Paris, which something which I would love to do one day. However taking into account the train to St Pancras would mean that for me the Eurostar becomes too expensive. So flying from Newcastle into Charles de Gaul airport only took 1hr 45mins. So taking off … Continue reading City Break – Paris

Sparkle like a Unicorn! 🦄

I’m really enjoying these playful colours let me know what you … Continue reading Sparkle like a Unicorn! 🦄

Dior Pump n Volume Mascara

The Dior pump n volume mascara is unlike any other mascara with its squeezable tube. To use: Soften the formula and load the brush with as much product as you can handle! The brush is flexible yet stable allowing for precise application. I love the idea of the flexible tube which allows you to ‘heat’ the formula to eliminate clumps. It is addictive. This idea originates from an old beauty hack of heating the mascara tube with a hairdryer to soften the formula and reduce clumps – this is definitely easier! Verdict: While I loved the idea behind the mascara in … Continue reading Dior Pump n Volume Mascara
