James Read Bronzing Products
My complexion is very much ‘English Rose’. At least, that’s how I like to think of it, it sounds better than ‘pale and pastey’. I humbly admit that, yes I did, twice in my life, visit the sunbeds, but that’s … Continue reading

L’Oreal Color Riche Diamantissime in Feeric Fuschia
This lipstick was not something I would normally have bought. Sure, it’s a lovely shade and very much my sort of colour, but I already have loads of similar products and so wouldn’t normally choose this. However, L’Oreal and Boots … Continue reading
