I can’t remember my last Icons post so it’s probably time to post a new one. To refresh your mind or to simply explain, Icons posts highlight individuals I admire. From fashion designers to athletes, the reason and the person vary greatly. Today I have...
One of the most popular brands amongst coily and curly haired individuals, a Kinky-Curly review is long overdue! I decided to purchase Kinky-Curly’s Knot Today Natural Leave In Detangler, as it’s a product many rave about. Purchased via Amazon, I spent £11.84 (236ml). It's pretty...
My original plan involved reviewing the duo but I have now decided to only review the shampoo, as the conditioner is mediocre. It would be unfair to let its poor performance influence the overall review score. The conditioner is awful but I refuse to dwell;...
Once upon a time, pink was my favourite colour. I dressed in pink and slept in a pink bedroom, surrounded by all things pink. However, the colour has long lost its eminence and influence; I find it (especially in its brashest hue), incredibly nauseating. Nonetheless,...

Similar to my experience, I’m sure many were left baffled by Dark and Lovely’s “sheen sealing nectar”. What is it? What does it do? According to Dark and Lovely it is a “recipe for all day shiny, elongated curls and coils”. In Laymen’s terms, it’s...
Please note, I have received this product in exchange for an honest review or to simply try for free. For more information, please see Your Beauty First's Terms and Conditions. As this will be my second "sponsored" review, I feel I must provide clarity as well as...
What does a rainforest smell like? If it is anything like this conditioner by The Body Shop, I have no intentions of ever visiting one! This is a review of a product that is absolutely magnificent but smells vile! The scent is wet grass meets...
I adore Pat McGrath and her beauty debut, Gold 001 has rekindled an old relationship – all things golden and I. From jewellery to make-up, I was once obsessed with anything gold but with age, I fell out of love, finding solace in silver. I...
