Bronze Goddess

Always judge a book by its cover…

Great make-up should not only make you look great, it should also make you feel great. There’s nothing I love more than a stunning little palette of lipgloss, or a funky little lipstick case.

Bobbi Brown Foundation

Bobbi Brown’s new natural foundation

Finding a foundation that lasts all day, but at the same time, looks natural, can be a bit of a challenge.

Laser Hair Removal Diary – beauty ed

It’s been over three months since my first laser treatment and it was only in the last two weeks, prior to my third treatment, that any real sign of hair growth has started to show. I had become so used to my wonderful, fuzz-free underarms that it was a surprise to see that I have [...]
