Bad blogger, Michaela! I've been using and loving this treatment for the better half of the year, yet neglected to mention it to you guys. Naughty, I know, but sometimes you like something so much, it just works its way into your beauty routine and you forget that it was once a shiny new toy to gum-flap about. Whatever, at least you know...
Because the greatest gift of all is the one you buy for someone else and then just end up keeping yourself, right? Right! Here's some things you should buy with the full intention of wrapping them up and giving away, but that you then accidentally forget to wrap, and maybe it rolls under the bed or something, oh hey look it's mid-Jan now,...
I can't believe I've been blogging for a year and haven't gotten myself some tagged post action! My lovely friend The Moroccan Shopaholic has summoned me for the How Much Is My Face Worth? tag that's been going around, and how could I say no to this face? You just can't. That's science. So let's assume the brace position and look at exactly what...
Sorry for the total lack of posts recently, I've been busy watching this over and over working. At work. Busy work things. Oh, yes, and snuggling with my new favourite product! I'm not even going to try and be balanced here. I'm going to be all fangirling and lovey dovey about my lovely shiny toy - Guerlain Meteorites! I'm pretty sure absolutely every...
*EDIT* Trigger warning for racism, swearing, angry gifs. So, so many angry gifs. Today's post derails from my normal review-based content, but it is something I feel very strongly about. Skip this if you want, but honestly, I would much more prefer you read ahead for my thoughts on a recent incredible cock-up by a beauty brand. To preface - this is not...

Welcome to Lather Rinse Repeat's series of summer themed posts!

ERMAHGERD YOU GUISE! Apologies for a drought in posts the last few days, work was cray-cray, I was on and off planes, and with zero available daylight hours to take product photos. Like, sometimes having a job is hard! Anyhoo, here's one product I've had stashed in my purse the last week, Qsilica Paw Paw Rescue Ointment. It's a bit different when compared...
Welcome to Lather Rinse Repeat's series of summer themed posts! Every post that features the above banner will be serving up a review of a useful product for you to take advantage of in the warmer months. I'm pretty awful at hair removal. I can barely shave my legs without having a cascade of blood pour from behind my knee (that spot always...
The lovely Sabine from Echolife sent me A'kin's Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in One (phew, long name!) for my birthday, after hearing that I was running low on facial cleanser. Of course, for a beauty blogger, "running low on facial cleanser" actually translates to "I have one and a half tubes of cleanser left, but am already starting to...
Being ultra pale, I love using illuminating products to help my skin look less chalky and flat, and more luminous and well, alive. Seriously, a teeny bit of product makes such a difference to my face, and takes me from this - - to this. Instaglow! My newest illuminator is the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch. That is a...
Feeling a wee bit of deja vu? I know, I've already covered some lotions from Vaseline before. But these ones are (kinda) different, in that they are more moisturising and have some fancy science to back it up. Mmm, sciencey. After exhaustive testing (sniffing first one lotion, then the other), I've determined these scents are pretty much exactly the same as those previous...
You may have seen me testing out some coloured circle lens contacts the last few months on Instagram (@LatherRinseRpt), and if you're a coworker, may have even partaken in the delightful guessing game Does Michaela Have Crazy Eyes Again Today. Here's my regular, boring old eyes in their standard blue. Here's a close-up of my right eye, which is discoloured due to partical...
Because I like getting comments (subtle hint - LEAVE ME COMMENTS!), I've added Disqus to my comments form so now you have no excuse not to leave comments can easily drop me a line without having to be signed in to Blogger. Also because nothing can ever go completely smoothly - - previous comments are laid out in a somewhat random fashion, and...
I have a slight obsession with candles. It can best compared to how I have a slight obsession with gifs. Or how season one Willow had a slight obsession with Xander and hideous outfits. Overalls?! Oh honey, no. I'm guaranteed to have a candle burning while I'm at home, and um, maybe sometimes when I'm not home because I am forgetful (THIS IS...
