This week saw the return of one of the most anticipated events in the natural beauty calendar and the one in which we get to find out who has made it into the 2016 Who’s Who – yes, it’s time for the launch of the Natural Beauty Yearbook.
The transition to High Definition (and within the foreseeable future the move towards 4K) has meant that we are seeing the world on our screens in much finer detail. Assuming you have a screen which is capable of an HD output, you will have seen sharper, more precise images which can expose make-up hits and […]
I originally published this a couple of years ago following a post I had written on a report by The Campaign For Safe Cosmetics which highlighted lack of regulation in the costume make-up industry and the worryingly high levels of heavy metals in many of the most popular brands of children’s face paint (you can read the report here). With […]
With Halloween just days away, thoughts of many are turning to parties, pumpkins and costumes. According to Google, this year one of the most popular searches for Halloween inspiration – thanks, I imagine in the most part to the forthcoming movie Suicide Squad (and the divine Margot Robbie), has been Harley Quinn (DC comic book […]
Living in the UK is a blessing and a curse when it comes to natural and organic beauty products. We have many fabulous homegrown brands here and we have some equally fabulous importers, stores and distributors who make brands from further afield available to us. Obviously not every line makes it across the pond so […]
I love Alverde, Alterra (found in Rossman drogeries), Hauschka, Lavera, Sante, Logona… there are plenty of good organic make-up products in Germany. -Alterra is as cheap as Alverde. Some products are better in either of these lines, as eyeshadows with better pigment in Rossman line, not so good in DM. Anyway, both of them have lvely shower gels, body butters etc., on-average shampoos, pretty good pencils and lipsticks, bronzers etc. etc. I always come bags full from Germany :DReplyCancel
Looking forward to this series. I do live beauty globe trotting. Germany seems to do budget friendly natural beauty really well. As you mention, sadly on the base front, there's nothing for dark skin (not exclusive to German brands – I struggle to think of any British ones….)ReplyCancel

I am particularly bad at using a designated eye make-up remover to take off any eye make-up at the end of the day (this served as inspiration for my other Twitter handle @eyeslikepandas). I don’t not take it off but I do tend to rely on the goodwill of my other cleansing products to do […]
This make up remover is my favourite non oily eye make up remover and I purchased quite few bottles in the past. However, I find oil based make up removers more effective and currently using one of them, but if you don't want oil residue left behind, then I would definitely recommend Neal's Yards one.ReplyCancel
Hi Petra It is lovely, isn't it. I agree, oil based removers can be more effective but I know many people have problems with them. Thanks for touching base L xReplyCancel
