Next, apply the Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment around the eye area to target fine lines and wrinkles, revealing a more youthful looking complexion.

This best-selling serum contains active Padina Pavonica and Blue Flower Linseed help tone and firm, whilst a sophisticated Amino Acid complex attracts and locks moisture deep into the skin.

Clinically proven to reduce the depth of wrinkles, improve skin firmness, tone and hydration in 14 days it contains powerful anti-ageing ingredients. 

Mediterranean algae (Padina Pavonica) has been blended with Ginkgo Biloba, Chlorella and Rose and Mimosa absolutes to moisturise the skin and visibly improve the appearance of fine lines while maintaining skins elasticity and firmness.

Rich and thick in texture this cream is designed for normal to dry complexions and you may find it a little too rich for oily complexions- oh and a little goes a long way!

Last but by no means least, indulge in an evening of pampering with the Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream which supports your skins regeneration process as you sleep, allowing you to wake with firmer, more radiant looking skin.

It contains a blend of Laminaria Digitata and Red Coral to help maintain optimum skin condition while Padina Pavonica helps to improve skin suppleness, firmness and elasticity.

The oxygenating benefit is supported with anti-oxidant rich Sesame and Avocado Oils which deliver free-radical protection resulting in firmer, healthy looking skin come morning.

This collection is worth a stonking £206, but as always you know you won’t be paying anywhere near that price.

In fact, you’ll be paying under £68 which means a saving of over £137!

Get your collection at this special price NOW until Sunday 15^th September and tune into QVC to get the full low down on Saturday 14^th September at 9pm.

Smith & Sinclair Lick Your Scent

 What would you say if I told you I own an edible fragrance?

Laugh? Call me mad? Probably. But guess what. I own an edible fragrance.

Lick Your Scent is an edible fragrance, created like a perfume with layered floral and fruity notes that can be both be worn as a fragrance or used to enhance the flavour of an alcoholic beverage.

It sounds utterly bonkers right!

This is the brain child of Smith & Sinclair, a brand who are essentially the Willy Wonka for the adult world they have launched into the world a range of three Edible Fragrances.

The fragrances have a light, non-stick formula that uses only natural ingredients and can be spritzed on drinks from cocktails to tea to heighten their flavour or applied directly onto skin as a lickable perfume.

It sounds weird I know, why would you spray something into your drink or lick your perfume and yet I’m totally intrigued!

The three fragrances really are blended like a traditional perfume using base, mid and top notes and include key ingredients such as flowers, citrus, fruit, herbs and spices, inspired by the seasons.

The fragrances are available in Cherry Blossom and Mandarin (Spring), Watermelon and Citrus (Summer) and Pear & Vanilla (Autumn).

It is spring after all so I tested out Cherry Blossom and Mandarin.

I love that despite its bizarre and fantastic use it is housed in such an unassuming, chic and simplistic bottle.

The perfume features a base of Gin with sweet floral notes of natural Cherry Blossom which contrast with a sharp citrus Mandarin Oil to deliver a flavour that is both floral and fruity.

This fragrance is perfect for spritzing on a Negroni or any Gin based drink or to add complexity to a tonic water.

What an inspired idea. It tastes rather nice when licked directly off your skin too!

Smith & Sinclair’s Managing Director, Melanie Goldsmith, says;

“Indulging in a cocktail at home should be as equally playful and experimental as going to a Cocktail Bar.  We created these Edible Fragrances to facilitate this opportunity by reimagining the classic bar tool - the atomiser - for the home. To give it an edge, we looked to the beauty world for inspiration to create flavours that deliver mind-blowing scents and flavours whether sipped or licked off.”

These unique scents are one of those items that are perfect for gifting to the person ‘who has everything’ because I guarantee they won’t have this!

Smith & Sinclair’s new Edible Fragrances can be found at Harvey Nichols and online at www.smithandsinclair.com and costs £19.99.

Prima Lash

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a regular user of false lashes, in fact, I find them embarrassingly difficult to use.

Aside from the fact that as a mum of two young children I don’t get out as much as I once did, im not the most delicate of people and my clumsy hands struggle with applying such fiddly, delicate pieces to my eyes.

That said, when I DO manage to escape for a night out I must admit that there is nothing I love more than a fab, fat, long and voluminous lash.

Feminine, fluttery and fabulous they just finish a look for me and offer length and volume that mascara simply cannot compete with.

I’ve flitted from brand to brand and style to style through the years and have FINALLY found a brand that offers the range and variety of lashes that I’ve been looking for.

Meet Prima Lash, the largest independent lash brand in the UK.

Sold on PLT, BOOHOO, INTHESTYLE, ISAWITFIRST and in many salons and boutiques around the UK, they offer incredible discounts on their lashes with 60% off the RRP plus free delivery, meaning that buying their lashes actually work out considerably cheaper than many on the high street.

Boasting over 400 different lash styles across many different categories including Strip Lashes, Russian, Classic and Lash Extensions they are a one stop shop for all your lash needs!

Prima Lash pride themselves on sourcing high quality products and presenting them in an aspirational yet affordable way. I mean, look at the beautiful packaging!

Loved by professionals and influencers alike, its easy to see why they are so popular when you are confronted by sheer amount of choice available.

There are literally hundreds of lashes to choose from to suit any occasion, look or budget but I particularly like their Velvet lashes.

This range are 3D Faux Mink which are made from high quality, synthetic fibres which are super soft to touch,vegan friendly and wonderfully fluffy!

Quick and easy to apply they can be re-used (with care!) up to 20-25 times! Now that is some value for money.

Beautifully lightweight and fluttery, they don’t weigh your lids down and are one of the most natural looking set of lashes I’ve used. Soft, thin fibres sit perfectly along your lash line, creating a gorgeous bambi, wide eyed, feminine eye-catching look.

Dainty is another style which I’m a big fan of thanks to the fact that each strand is tapered to closely resemble your natural lashes, creating a multi-dimensional effect that is comfortable enough to wear all day or night long.

Prima Lash’s multi packs are brilliant too, featuring 5 sets of lashes for an exceptional price for those of you who just love a false lash. Affordable yet luxurious, the lashes are far superior to any other’s I’ve tried and for the prices they are they are an absolute steal.

After discovering these I’m temped to bin my eyelash curlers and mascara and stick to the false lashes. They're just so easy to use and create a flawless look each and every time they’re used.

There’s nothing not to love.

Better still, they offer a HUGE 60% off orders purchased on their website using the code LASH60 when you spend over £100, making the lashes as little as just 56p within their 5 packs.

56p! You’ll not find lashes of this quality online for 56p let me tell you this for nothing!
