Lancôme La Nuit Trésor


La Nuit Trésor by Lancôme could well have just jumped to the top of my all-time favourite fragrances list. 

Described as a gourmand woody floriental, this fragrance is complex, captivating and ultimately, utterly bewitching.




Named after the French word for "treasure", Trésor by Lancôme has been created as a declaration of love and represents flourishing emotions.

Captivating and stunning it’s impossible to speak about the scent without first addressing its exquisite bottle.




La Nuit Trésor’s bottle is shaped like a black diamond; mysterious and precious whose neck has been adorned with a black rose choker.

The hard, multi-faceted heavy glass diamond bottle contrasts with the silky softness of the rose choker, much like the fragrance within is a beautiful contrast of light and dark, softness yet power and floral yet fruity.




The scent opens with bursts of juicy raspberry, sweet lychee and bergamot before heart notes of  aromatic frankincense and Damascena rose create a softer yet enticing and deeper warmth.

Base note of Patchouli, Papyrus and Vanilla Tahitensis complete the mystery, resulting in an enchanting and seductive fragrance.




Deep, alluring and dare I say sexy, it is a truly beautiful scent that much like a diamond captures and reflects the light leaving a dazzling sparkle, manages to capture and reflect its multi-layered notes of fruit, floral and woody to perfection. 

Lancôme La Nuit Trésor is available now and costs £52 for 30ml.

Neom Boost your Energy Nourish, Breathe and Energise Hand Balm from Showcase Beauty


One of the things I struggle with most as a busy mum with two small children is finding enough ‘me’ time.

Time to just be. Exist. Relax. Recharge.

 It’s no exaggeration to say that until both of my children are safely tucked up in bed at night I barely get so much as a moment to myself (I can’t even wee alone these days!) so the chance of finding any ‘me’ time to practice wellbeing is practically impossible.




That’s why I think it’s so important that when you can find the time, you should indulge in some much needed ‘me’ time. Time alone, to do the things that make you happy, that make you smile, that are just for you.

Weather its having a long hot soak in a bath, snuggling down to watch your favourite boxset, cooking yourself your favourite meal (or ordering a take-out!) or even pampering yourself with some lovely skincare goodies, it’s important to find time for you.

A brand I always turn to when in need of a pamper or some time to re-center and re-charge Neom.




Neom is a brand which holds wellbeing at its heart and features an impressive collection of products that have been created to either relieve stress, calm and relax, aid sleep, boost your energy or lift your mood. 

Made in Britain with 100% natural fragrances their products contain only natural and organic ingredients, no petrochemical paraffin or mineral wax, no artificial perfume and no harsh preservatives.


This shea and cocoa butter rich balm is infused with a potent blend of essential oils designed to lift and rejuvenate the body and mind.




Grapefruit, Rosemary, Lemon plus 14 other expertly crafted essential oils refresh, revive and invigorate a tired mind while skin conditioning shea and cocoa butter work to soften, hydrate and nourish dry hands.

Quickly absorbed and non- greasy this gorgeous balm is ideal for busy mums like me as it can be used throughout the day for a quick, easy pick-me-up and offers a little piece of wellbeing and tranquillity in an otherwise manic day!

To get the most out of this balm, warm a pea-sized amount between your hands before massaging into your skin. 

Then, cup your hands over your nose and mouth and breathe in through your nose for 7 seconds and out through your mouth slowly for 11 seconds. 

Allow the essential oils to work their magic and come away with more just beautifully soft hands, but with a clearer, invigorated mind too.




I discovered this Neom Boost your Energy Nourish, Breathe and Energise Hand Balm from Showcase Beauty.
