Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment in Crème Brûlée review
I absolutely love a glossy lip balm and I have to say this formula really does tick the boxes. It is thick enough to really stay on the lips, but doesn’t feel heavy or sticky.
It is really easy to apply and gives lips such a beautiful, juicy shine. This new Crème Brûlée is so wearable and flattering. It’s perfect for a soft nude look, and if you want it to look more makeup-y, it pairs beautifully with any nude-toned lip liner.
Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment applicator
The applicator is great which make reapplying on the go a cinch. Plus, the colour is sheer enough to be able to do top ups without a mirror.
The formula has a lovely smoothing effect and tackles any dryness of flakiness really quickly! Now I just need to try the other shades!

Let me introduce you to one of my best discoveries of 2024, the Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan. As someone who is whiter than my windowsills, with fantasies of being a bronzed goddess, self-tan is an essential part of my life. Here’s why I’m obsessed with Gatineau’s Golden Glow.

About Gatineau
Gatineau is such a beautiful French skincare brand that started in Paris 90 years ago by a visionary beauty therapist Madame Jeanne Gatineau. She worked with dermatologists and biochemists to create a line of professional-quality skincare with powerful formulations combining natural ingredients with cutting-edge biotechnology.
It was one of the first luxury skincare brands I ever tried, and I’ll never forget the first time I used their game-changing Gommage which was like nothing I had ever tried. It is still an icon in the beauty industry years later. Gatineau was in fact the first brand to create an exfoliator. If you haven’t tried the Radiance Enhancing Gommage, you must!
The Importance of Skincare in Gradual Tanning
The Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan skincare formula completely eradicates the risk of mistakes because it is so easy to apply and blend over the skin. The formula delivers a completely streak-free finish, and the skincare ingredients keep the skin hydrated so that the tan never goes patchy.
My Review of Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan
Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan 400ml pump bottle
Like I said at the top, this is one of my best beauty discoveries of 2024, if not longer. If you love a bronzy glow, I think you will absolutely love this.
I am a self-confessed self-tan addict and I have been tanning for decades. I started when I was at university and just never stopped. For me it quickly became a year-round essential element of my beauty routine, and I am genuinely a happier person with a fresh layer of tan. In fact, I often say if self-tan was no longer available, I’d be a lot less happy!
I have been fake tanning for years, but I still make mistakes. Not with this! I haven’t had any hand or feet disasters since I’ve been using it. It literally provides the most flawless and seamless blend.
The Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan is an absolute joy to use because it is so easy. You simply use it like you use your body lotion. I put it on as soon as I get out of the shower, and I use it top to bottom covering my whole body in under a couple of minutes. I apply it to my hands and feet, knees, elbows (everywhere!) just like my moisturiser and it sinks in super-fast, and I can get dressed pretty much straight away.
I simply make sure that I wash my palms and in between my fingers with hand soap and I’m all set. The tan starts to develop after a few hours and if I use it at night, I wake up with a gorgeous golden glow. When I use it in the morning, the glow gradually intensifies as the day goes on. It’s such a good feeling.
When I start from scratch (totally scrubbed off and white) after 2 or 3 days I am where I want to be. Although, to be completely transparent, I haven’t really had to start from scratch since I have been using this because it fades so nicely. As a serial fake tanner, it really is all about the fade for me.
Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan texture
In terms of the texture, I have to say, it is dreamy. It has a light yet super hydrating gel-cream consistency that melts into the skin with almost a water-infusion feel. It’s blends over the skin so effortlessly.
And it smells so good! It has the most beautiful soft fragrance, and it never has the DHA turning moment (aka the biscuit) that you get with pretty much all self-tans.
Also, the colour never transfers (I tested this on plain white pyjamas!), so you don’t need to worry about stained bed sheets or clothes.

I had been planning to write my review of the new Aurelia London Hydrate & Protect Anti-Ageing SPF50 Moisturiser because I’m quite a fan. Then I suddenly noticed that Aurelia currently have 50% off most things on the site, so I thought I better get a wriggle on! Here’s what you need to know.
What is Aurelia London Hydrate & Protect Anti-Ageing SPF50 Moisturiser?
Aurelia London Hydrate & Protect Anti-Ageing SPF50 Moisturiser

My Review
Aurelia London Hydrate & Protect Anti-Ageing SPF50 Moisturiser Review
I knew I was really going to like this sunscreen as it contains Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate which are my favourite hydrating ingredients. I always include these in my REESON makeup products*, which is my own brand*.
This is a chemical sunscreen packed with active ingredients which protect and nourish the skin at the same time. It is super lightweight and blends and absorbs into the skin really easily.
I have been skipping moisturiser and just use it over my serum. If you wanted a really quick routine who could use this straight on to cleansed skin, as it has some lovely ingredients in there.
Aurelia London Hydrate & Protect Anti-Ageing SPF50 Moisturiser texture
I love the texture of this SPF product. It is light and silky, and as you massage it into the skin, it has a featherlight, almost water-serum texture that feels super calming and nourishing on the skin.
Aurelia London Hydrate & Protect Anti-Ageing SPF50 Moisturiser on the skin
It gives a gorgeous glow and apart from that, it is instantly invisible on the skin, taking absolutely no work to become indetectable. If you have oily skin, you will definitely want to skip moisturiser, and if you’re dry, you may want to layer it on top of moisturiser. But have a play, it depends on the type of finish you want. It could even be enough if you have dry skin, because it’s such an effective moisturiser, even though it is lightweight.
The Aurelia London Hydrate & Protect Anti-Ageing SPF50 Moisturiser sits really nicely under my makeup. I like to wait 10 or 15 minutes for my SPF to settle into my skin before I apply makeup. I feel like this allows for the most even coverage of protection.
I think if you love a glow, this will be absolute perfection for you. It has such a pretty finish and is so soothing and comfortable on the skin. I think it’s great.

Selena Gomez’ beauty brand Rare has launched a new body product and I am really enjoying it. Here’s the low down on the Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash.
What is Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash?
Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash 250ml
With this new launch we are promised a spa-like shower experience. I love a super luxurious shower gel, especially as I am not really a bath person and need to find that relaxation where I can. The Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash uses:
Innovative transformative formula
Transforms from a jelly to a creamy lather
Gently cleanses and nourishes the skin
Infused with skin-loving ingredients
Designed to leave skin soft, smooth and hydrated
Gently buffs away dead skin cells with konjac jelly
Uplifting scent of lemon zest, jasmine and cashmere wood
Vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free
Key Ingredients
Konjac jelly – for gentle exfoliation
Peach flower extract and avocado oil – to soothe and soften
Ashwagandha – botanical extract known for its de-stressing properties to calm the senses
My Review of Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash
Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash jelly texture
I love the jelly texture of this shower gel. It has very smooth, almost bubble-like exfoliating beads that gently cleanse and buff the skin. The formula lathers up really easily, and creates the softest, creamiest texture that feels like a big cuddle for the skin.
Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash soft lather
I love a really luxurious texture and this creates an abundance of frothy foam that feels super nourishing and not at all drying. A little goes a long way, so you don’t need too much product to cover your whole body in relaxing bubbles.
The fragrance is really lovely. There’s a really comforting and uplifting blend of lemon zest, jasmine and cashmere woods which quickly fills the shower and really delivers on that spa experience.
The exfoliation is gentle which means you can work it over the skin for as long as you like. I like to start on just damp skin, and then start to add more water for extra suds and a thorough cleanse before rinsing it all off.
It leaves my skin feeling, smooth, soft and also hydrated. It is very soothing and not at all stripping or tightening. It is fairly pricey for a shower gel, however, you don’t need loads and if you value your shower time, I think it is worth it.
The Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash shares the same gorgeous packaging shade as the rest of the Rare Beauty body collection, which really helps to elevate this whole self care experience.
Where to buy it
The Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash is £24 for 250ml and available via the link below:

I Vichy’s love Mineral 89 range, so I was keen to test out the new SPF50 product that recently joined the line up. Here’s the lowdown on Vichy Mineral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Daily Fluid SPF50+.
What is Vichy Mineral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Daily Fluid SPF50+?
Vichy Mineral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Daily Fluid SPF50+
Designed to protect your skin against UVA & UVB rays and boost hydration
Hyaluronic Acid provides increased hydration for up to 72 hours
Lightweight texture
Suitable for sensitive skin
Tested under dermatological control
Non comedogenic & Fragrance-Free
Key Ingredients
SPF50+ – protects against UVB & UVA rays
Pure Hyaluronic Acid – to provide 72 hour hydration
Vichy Volcanic Water Minerals – rich in minerals to maintain the skin’s natural pH and protect against external aggressors
Vitamin B3 & E – to support the skin barrier
Squalane – to smooth, condition and soften the skin
My Review of Vichy Mineral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Daily Fluid SPF50+
Vichy Mineral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Daily Fluid SPF50+ packaging
This is such an easy SPF product to use, and it genuinely feels more like a moisturising fluid than it does a high protection formula. It has a very silky and delicate texture that absorbs into the skin very easily and quickly becomes completely invisible with no white cast.
Vichy Mineral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Daily Fluid SPF50+ texture
It feels hydrating and moisturising without any heaviness, and it leaves a soft natural looking glow on the skin with zero greasiness. I’d say it gives the skin a satin finish and makes a great canvass for makeup.
Vichy Mineral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Daily Fluid SPF50+ satin finish on the skin
The most important thing to note is that it doesn’t sting my eyes at all. Hayfever is making my eyes pretty sensitive right now, but this formula doesn’t bother them at all. It’s an absolute win for me.
I apply it after my serum in the morning, and then use a mist over makeup to top up if I need to throughout the day. One of my favourite over makeup mists is from Ultra Violette. Read Ultra Violette Preen Screen SPF50 Reapplication Mist Review.
