The Pixi Clarity Mist - £16

This is a lightweight facial mist designed to refresh, hydrate and rebalance skin throughout the day. 

This mist features a hyaluronic complex that attracts and locks in moisture, helping skin feel smoother and more comfortable by drawing water into the top layers of the skin. Centella asiatica extract (cica) is included for its soothing and calming properties, which can help reduce redness and support irritated or sensitive skin. Sea salt extract works to purify and clarify the complexion, assisting in reducing the appearance of blemishes while promoting a balanced feel. 

Additional botanical extracts such as cucumber and rosemary help cool and revitalise skin, making this mist ideal for use anytime you need a quick boost of hydration or calm.

Why the Clarify Range Works

The secret to this collection’s effectiveness lies in its blend of AHAs and BHAs, which help sweep away dead skin, clear pores and refine texture without harsh scrubbing. At the same time, botanical soothing ingredients like aloe and probiotics help protect skin balance, making the range suitable for a variety of skin types — from oily to combination

Chocolate that is GOOD for you??

Easter is coming and every time I walk into a shop or a supermarket I am faced with a zillion different eggs to choose from.... but...Imagine if you could eat chocolate that was good for you and was only 72 calories!! Well you can! I was recently asked if I would like to try some from the Ohso range, not one I have heard of, but I am a chocoholic, so I gladly accepted. 

 A few days later, in this lovely and very different packaging came the chocolate. Inside I found one bar of orange flavoured chocolate bar and a whole pack of 7 original chocolate bars. Before getting to the bars themselves, there was also a really handy information card which gave a little more information on the range.

What they say

At last, a guilt free chocolate bar that loves your tummy….ohso probiotic chocolate bars (available in original and orange flavours), made from 53% delicious Belgian chocolate are clinically proven*  to be three times more effective at delivering your daily probiotics than a yoghurt drink  – and at only 72 calories a bar!

Each no added dairy, gluten, wheat and nut free,  individually wrapped bar is designed to provide you and your family with the optimum daily amount of probiotic to help support your digestive health, restoring the bacterial flora of good bacteria in your gut to help improve immunity and overall health and wellbeing. 

*Based on the survival rates of probiotics passing through the stomach to the small intestine, it was found that the survival rates in the probiotic yoghurt matrix were three times lower than in chocolate .  Source: Ghent University, Belgium

Well if I can eat chocolate and there are only 72 calories, does that mean it won’t taste as good as my favourite Mint Chocolate Aero Bar?  Well it actually tastes so much better than I thought I would and I quickly devoured the orange flavored bar before promptly hiding the pack of 7 so I could eat them all to myself.  Actually that isn’t quite true, I have been having them as a little extra treat in my packed lunches for work, instead of putting in a penguin (old school) or buying some chocolate because I need a quick fix, Ohso have provided me with just that and it is the perfect size to fit into my bag.  But taste is naturally quite important in any food products and when you bite into these bars, the first thing you notice, especially with the orange version is how natural the orange taste it and the chocolate, which is made from 53% dark Belgian chocolate is simply divine, it melts on your tongue

So as well as being gluten, nut, wheat and cholesterol free and contains no added dairy, Ohso also contains plenty of what is referred to as "good for you" which is proven to be three times more effective at delivering your daily probiotics than a yoghurt drink bacteria and if you look at this diagram shown below, you can read more about how good for you Ohso is:

That is not all, with Ohso, you can subscribe to it and it is available in 7-bar weekly packs for convenience and it is delivered to your home via Royal Mail, now the good thing about this is that the packaging is so good, it fits through your letterbox, as shown in the photo below, so there is no need to have to go and collect it from anywhere.  If you are not wanting to subscribe you can get Ohso from Harvey Nichols Food Halls, Ocado, The Nutri Centre, Amazon and health food stores and independent retailers nationwide.

Pixi Hydrating Milky Range Review

If you hadn't guessed by now, I am a huge fan of Pixi Beauty/Pixi by Petra and absolutely love the skincare as much as the makeup. The lastest range I am sharing with you is the Hydrating Milky Range, which if I am honest is quite possibly the best packaging ever created for a product launch. I was first introduced to the brand back in 2019 and it held my attention as much then as it does now.

Nestled inside the mock milk bottle cartons is a skincare routine neatly arranged by Pixi, each box is numbered 1 to 6 giving you the option to Remove, Cleanse, Peel, Tone, Treat and Moisturise, and it is from here that you can decide which products will fit into your range be it all of them, one of them or just a few of them.

The carton at number one is labelled remove and that brings in the Hydrating Milky Makeup Remover. Described as being a gentle bi-phase formula which not only effectively removes eye, face, and lip makeup but also hydrates the skin as it works. 

To use, you need to shake it really well to mix up the ingredients and then grab your cotton wool pad and use the dispenser to soak the pad through and use as you would any other makeup remover.

This product is infused with Coconut Extracts and Probiotics which work to provide added moisture and a balancing effect on your skin. Then we have Willow Bark Extract which is known for its ability to tone the skin before Cinnamon Extract is included for its anti-inflammatory benefits. I had run out of my usual makeup remover when this arrived, so I swapped over and I am really impressed with how well it removed the most stubborn of waterproof mascaras, we all know which one can be a nightmare to budge, well this one budges it without the need to excessively rub the eyes. 

Makeup removed the next task is to cleanse and in an evening, I am a huge fan of double cleansing, especially because I wear SPF every single day and I need to ensure my skin is cleansed properly.  

The Hydrating Milky Cleanser is the next product and this is a really creamy cleanser which you need just a small amount of when using because it is quite rich in texture but at the same time gentle on the skin. I tend to use this cleanser with my Foreo because I find it works a lot better than just using my hands and by using my Foreo, I know how much of the cleanser I need to use through experience.

After cleansing, my skin always feels smooth to the touch and it is definitely clean without feeling stripped. As with the Makeup Remover, this cleanser contains coconut, probiotics, Willowbark Extract Cinnamon Extract but it differs slightly due to the inclusion of and jojoba Esters, all of which come together to soothe, hydrate and nourish the skin.

The one product I have used and reviewed on my blog from this collection is the Hydrating Milky Peel and it is described as being a gentle micro-peeling cream which is so gentle, you can use it daily if you wish too. Its job is to clear away dead skin cells for delicate brightening of the skin.

This formula is enriched, as with the rest of the range, with calming and hydrating coconut which sit alongside some skin-balancing probiotics and natural humectant cellulose which gently exfoliates the skin, without stripping it, to lift away dead and dry skin cells, as well as dirt, impurities and toxins all without irritating. Also included is arginine which helps to increase collagen and elastin production for firmer, plumper skin but it also acts as an antioxidant to the skin too.  Again, only the smallest amount needed and once on the skin, which I massage to apply, I leave it for a few minutes and then remove with a muslin cloth which has been soaking in warm water to ensure every single trace is removed and the end result is much smoother and softer skin.

After the Milky Peel, we have the Milky Tonic and if Pixi are known for one product it is their Tonic's. Described as being calming and hydrating, this Tonic is enriched with oat extract which helps to soothe and balance the skin. You will also find Jojoba Milk which not only rehydrates the skin but it also nourishes. Then we have Green Tea which has powerful antioxidant properties.

On the skin, I find this Tonic really soothing and calming and it comes a very close second to my love for the Rose Tonic which I absolutely adore.

The Hydrating Milky Serum is the next product and without question, there is always a serum within my skincare routine, whether it is one I use in the morning, evening or both. Described as being a revitalising boost for skin that intensely hydrates while it protects and improves elasticity.

I love the serum, but I don't like the dropper dispenser, I find it doesn't do the job it was intended to do, so I have swapped my dropper over to one from another product and it works so much better as it has a pump action dispenser and I find just two pumps from that is perfect.  On the skin, this serum is really hydrating and incredibly smoothing. The scent of this serum is one of Rose, which happens to be one of the main ingredients and it works alongside Jojoba Oil, and Aloe Vera nourish, while Glycerin traps moisture to the skin for a plumped effect.

The final product sits within the moisturising section and it is the Hydrating Milky Lotion. This lotion is described as being a multi-use moisturising lotion and it can be used on your face and your body. Enriched with a blend of Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Cocoa Seed Extract which together moisturise, nourish, hydrate and protect the skin alongside the use of Sweet Almond Oil and Black Oat Extract too.

I have used this lotion on both my body and on my face and what I like is that, although it is a fairly thick formula it can take a while to absorb if you use too much but, if you have got a while to laze around and let the cream work its magic, it is very much worth applying to those areas where your skin feels dehydrated, which for me was my shins, apply a layer and let it sink in, almost like having a leg mask for me.

This collection has been quite the delight to use and get to know, the Cleanser and the Peel I have absolutely loved and I adore the rose scent of the serum, each product can have its own place within your skincare routine and you can create a routine if you don't already have one.  You can find out more about each product from the Pixi website* and Cult Beauty* with prices starting as low as £10.

Roccabox - Spring Fling May 2021 Edition

This months Roccabox is aptly titled 'Spring Fling' and because things are looking up, nature is in full bloom and seeing other human beings other than our household on the horizon. 

Within this months box, the products have been chosen because they are fun, flirty and perfect as we head into the warmer weeks with family and friends. Expect to find hydrating skincare, makeup to keep the shine at bay and a must have SPF.

The first item out of my box and the hero product comes from Illamasqua with Beyond Powder in the shade Deity.

Described as being a baked highlighter powder with a unique golden-green hue, it can be used wet or dry to add a subtle luminosity to skin. Whether or not you want that glow to be subtle or shining like a disco ball, this is the product to do just that and it comes packaged in a hard plastic case with a mirror - so handy for on the go!

The second product out of the box comes from Emery Nails and there are four different shades in the boxes, so you will either get Bear, Belle, Aubrey or Rosy.

This is a brand I have never come across until now, in my box I have the shade Rosy and it is described as having a warm hue and it sits within the deep pink family. It has what is referred to as a luxurious crème formula, so not only is easy to apply, but it is also long-lasting and has a flawless high gloss shine.

Up next we have Doctors Formula and this time it is the Probiotics with the Deep Hydration and Repairing Mask, something we all probably need right now after hours of sitting in front of laptops working from home.

Described as being an intensive treatment that strengthens and rebalances skin, this night time mask works to maintain the skin's good bacteria to ensure a bright, smooth and healthy look. It uses an ingredient called Relipidium which works in harmony with Probiotics to deliver high levels of moisture, which helps to plump the facial contours whilst improving protection against environmental stress.

From Hawaiian Tropic we have their All Natural Mineral Milk SPF30 and it is described as being a is an ultra-spreadable, silky sunscreen lotion.

This lotion is made with 100% mineral actives that provide broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection without chemical filters or parabens. The unique mineral formula doesn’t leave behind the dreaded white cast on the skin like other mineral sunscreens. This nourishing formula is enriched with Hawaiian-inspired botanicals such as coconut and kukui nut which gives you long-lasting, lightweight moisturisation.

The final item in the box comes from Mallows Beauty, a brand I have only ever come across in beauty boxes in recent months, within this box we have the Pink Clay Face Mask.

This mask contains French pink clay which is great for sensitive skin and it works to gently draw out impurities whilst at the same time helping to balance your skin.  Described as being a multi-tasking mask, it contains 98% natural ingredients, including; Hyaluronic acid, melon, strawberry and cranberry extracts. 

This is quite the box, I love that there is a whole host of different products taking in both makeup and skincare. If you didn't know, Roccabox is a beauty box subscription service and there are further subscription offers available to choose from with boxes starting at just £10 per month plus P&P.

YLWClub Discovery Kit

Beauty routines are evolving. Instead of focusing solely on wellness and topical skincare, more people are turning to inside-out beauty — supporting skin health through gut balance, quality sleep, and daily consistency. The YLWClub Discovery Kit is designed around this philosophy, offering a complete morning and evening ritual that connects both supplements and skincare into one seamless, easy routine.

Ideal for first-time users, the Discovery Kit allows you to experience the full YLWClub approach in a simple, commitment-free way, while still delivering noticeable results in just one week.

The Day Pill: Supporting Skin Through Gut Health

The Day Pill is all about supporting the gut, where so much of our overall wellbeing — including our skin’s health — begins. At its core are clinically studied probiotic strains combined with complementary vitamins to support digestion and immune function.

Key ingredients include:

• Multi-strain probiotics – Live beneficial bacteria that help balance gut flora and support digestion.

• Prebiotic fibres – Provide nourishment for probiotics to thrive.

• Vitamin B complex – Helps convert food into energy and supports skin-cell metabolism.

• Zinc – Known for supporting immune health and skin repair.

By nurturing your gut microbiome, the Day Pill helps reduce bloating and supports clearer, calmer skin. Many people also report steadier energy throughout the day as digestion becomes more balanced.

The Night Pill: Preparing the Body for Rest and Repair

Sleep is one of the most critical — yet most overlooked — factors in achieving glowing skin. The Night Pill is formulated to support the body’s natural relaxation processes so you can fall asleep more easily and perhaps as important, enjoy a much deeper rest.

It's key calming ingredients include:

• Magnesium (as magnesium glycinate) – A form of magnesium known for supporting muscle relaxation and nervous system balance.

• BeTheanine® (L-theanine) – An amino acid found in tea that helps reduce stress and promote a calm mental state.

• Botanical extracts – Gentle plant-derived ingredients that help soothe and ease tension before bedtime.

Good sleep accelerates overnight skin repair, reducing the appearance of fatigue and dullness. With regular use, you may notice your skin looks refreshed and your energy feels more stable throughout the next day.

The Day Cream: Lightweight Protection and Hydration

The Day Cream is designed to work in harmony with the skin’s natural microbiome, The Day Cream is a lightweight moisturiser with ingredients chosen to support your skin’s natural barrier while delivering lasting hydration. It’s designed to layer beautifully under makeup or be worn alone for a fresh, dewy finish.

Some of its standout ingredients include:

• Hyaluronic Acid – A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin for plump, smooth hydration.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – Helps improve skin tone and strengthens the barrier function.

• Microbiome-friendly moisturisers – Support a healthy skin ecosystem without disruption.

• Gentle botanical oils – Nourish and protect without heaviness.

Together, these ingredients help skin feel comfortable and resilient throughout the day, whether you’re facing dry indoor air or outdoor stressors.

The Night Cream: Overnight Renewal for Smoother Skin (£47.50)

Night time is when your skin does the most repair, and the Night Cream is formulated to support those natural processes. It’s richer in texture than the day formula but still suitable even for those with sensitive skin.

Key ingredients include:

• Bio-retinoid alternative – Supports skin renewal and texture without the irritation that traditional retinoids can cause.

• Microalgae extract – A nutrient-rich ingredient known for helping skin feel hydrated, firm, and radiant.

• Ceramides – Help replenish the skin’s protective barrier while you sleep.

• Antioxidants – Protect against free-radical stress and support overall skin health.

By morning, skin often feels softer and more hydrated, with a smoother look and a refreshed glow after consistent nightly use.

A Simple Ritual That Fits Real Life

One of the biggest strengths of the YLWClub Discovery Kit is its simplicity. The routine takes seconds, not minutes, making it easy to stay consistent — which is where real results come from.

In the morning, the Day Pill and Day Cream support energy, digestion, and hydration. In the evening, the Night Pill and Night Cream help the body relax, repair, and reset for the next day. Together, they create a connected ritual that supports both inner wellbeing and outer beauty.

Clean, Considered and Conscious

All products in the Discovery Kit are created with a focus on clean, conscious formulation. They are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from unnecessary fillers, making them suitable for most skin types and lifestyles. As a one-time purchase, the kit is a low-risk way to explore holistic beauty without the pressure of ongoing commitments.

Final Thoughts

The YLWClub Discovery Kit is more than a skincare set — it’s an introduction to a smarter, more balanced approach to beauty. By supporting gut health, sleep quality, and skin care together, it addresses beauty at its source rather than just treating surface concerns.

For anyone curious about inside-out beauty or looking to refresh their routine with something genuinely thoughtful, this Discovery Kit is a standout choice and using my code BEAUTYQUEENUK20 gets you 20% off your purchase.

Pixi Skintreats Vitamin-C Collection

Without question, Pixi Beauty is one of those brands that I just love. Skincare or makeup, there is always a hidden gem waiting to be found.  Over the years I have got to know quite a few Pixi products, some of which have been gifted and others I have purchased for myself and I am yet to find something I am not a fan of.  A few months ago, I was invited to an incredible event which gave me the opportunity to try a whole host of new products from Pixi and part of that included a few products from the Vitamin C range.  Then, a few months ago, this amazing Vitamin C package arrived and I was delighted to be able to try more from the range.

Vitamin C as an ingredient has been quite the thing to have within your products, it is definitely something I have been using a lot of in some of the products I have been recently sent or have bought. Said to be one of the most potent antioxidants available and from everything I have read and understood there are three benefits to having Vitamin C within your routine and they are:

• Brighten - We know that environmental factors can cause structural changes to the skin and this, in turn, can lead to uneven pigmentation, age spots and dark spots to name just a few. It is said that Vitamin C works to stop what is referred to as the biochemical reactions that cause uneven pigmentation to effectively brighten skin.
• Defend -  The potent antioxidant properties within Vitamin C help to counteract the effects of oxidative stress and free radicals and also helps to enhance the skin's natural defence system.
• Firm - Vitamin C renews the skin’s surface as it boosts the production of substances that help to keep the skin looking firm whilst at the same time helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

From Pixi, we have a whole host of products designed to do all of the above and more and you can use all five products to create quite the routine.

Now it is well documented that Pixi packages are amazing and this one is no exception. Packaged inside the tube, which was personalised with my name on it.  The Vitamin-C range is made up of 6 products and today I am sharing five of them with you.

The first product is the Vitamin-C Tonic (£10) I know a lot of people are a bit scared of Glow-Tonic and some find it a bit too much for their skin, so this option might be a better try.  Described as being a 'lightweight and refreshing skin toner brimming with antioxidant powers, that visibly corrects dark spots and brightens the complexion, promoting a renewed radiance', what I like is just how weightless it does feel on the skin. It uses a blend of White Willow Bark and fruit extracts which work together to perform a gentle chemical exfoliation to remove impurities and dead skin and in doing so, it leaves the surface of the skin much smoother as probiotics work to fortify skin’s barrier and boost resilience to harmful stressors.

Next comes the Vitamin-C Juice Cleanser (£18) and this is one product to have really caught my attention within this package.  Described as being 'an aqueous no-rinse face cleanser that gently removes impurities from skin’s upper layers whilst visibly brightening the complexion and promoting a renewed radiance'. On the skin, this cleanser is incredibly refreshing and I love how it feels. Its job is to rid the skin of all traces of makeup and other pore-cloggers while at the same time lightening the appearance of dark spots for even and lustrous skin. Also within this cleanser is Ferulic acid and probiotics which further helps to preserve and protect skin from damage caused by external stressors.  I love that this is a no rinse cleanser, you can apply with a cotton wool pad or your hands and just simply allow it to works its magic.

The product I really loved from this range is the Vitamin-C Lotion (£24) and it was the one product I expected to like the least. Described as being a 'super-lightweight and fast-absorbing moisturiser that visibly brightens the complexion and promotes a renewed radiance'. Naturally, Vitamin-C is one of the main ingredients and it is designed to not only deeply hydrate the skin but to also enhance the healthy collagen synthesis and lighten the appearance of dark spots all whilst protecting the skin from damage caused by external stressors. What I have liked about this lotion is how hydrated it has left my skin, it absorbs much quicker than I had expected it to on the application.

My favourite product within this collection has to be the Vitamin-C Caviar Balm (£24). Not only does it have one of the most beautiful orange fragrances, much like the rest of the range, but I really like how smooth it feels on my skin.  As you might have guessed it is also formulated with antioxidant-rich vitamin C, orange blossom water and citrus extracts and together not only do they help to protect the skin against to give that visibly firmer, brighter and healthier look. To use this balm, the guidance is to apply it to your skin and then allow the encapsulated vitamins to melt into the skin and then let it absorb. You only need a thin layer of this balm on your skin and as you apply it, there is a cool feeling.  For me, the hydrated feeling after using is what really makes this a great product.

My skincare routine will always include a serum and having just finished one, I switched over to include this within my routine.  The Vitamin-C Serum (£26) is described as being 'Brightening & antioxidant serum provides a boost of immediate and long term radiance'. Formulated with potent and antioxidant-rich vitamin C, grapefruit water, ferulic acid, citrus fruit extracts and retinol this formidable formula helps to boost collagen production for firmer and healthier skin, improved skin tone and texture, lifted luminosity and protection against free radicals and the effects of sun damage.  This serum is really easy to use and I add it to my skin after cleansing and toning and you literally need 2-3 drops at the most for your face, neck and decollete and because it isn't greasy or tacky, my skin drinks it up.

• Brighten and Cleanse - Vitamin-C Juice Cleanser
• Tone and Energise - Vitamin-C Tonic
• Treat and Protect - Vitamin-C Serum
• Moisturise - Vitamin-C Lotion
• Boost and Nourish - Vitamin-C Caviar Balm

So if you want to add a new lease of life into your routine and want to try something that smells as good as it feels on the skin, this Vitamin-C range from Pixi is one to definitely grab hold of.  You can find Pixi skincare via Pixi Website, Lookfantastic and Cult Beauty and Boots.
