Dusting off the old keyboard around these parts of the internet. It?s been a while.The post Hello 2024 appeared first on A Beauty Junkie in London.

I recently returned from a few days on a solo visit to one of my favourite places in the world, New York. This time around I stayed in a different neighborhood to my usual Midtown/Gramercy location – I wanted to explore somewhere new, whilst still...

I’ve been mulling this post over in my head for a while now, but despite that I still don’t totally know the direction it’s going to go in. But rather than overthinking/under-actioning it, I thought I’d start writing and see where it takes...

If you had asked me back in 2014 or similar time if I ever thought I would lose that buzz for blogging I’d have probably laughed in your face. However, as the years went on and a lot of things about the online world changed I found my passion for...

Written on the 9th August 2021: Today I?m going to meet my second baby. It?s a bit of a surreal thing to realise. But I guess that?s the difference with a planned c-section to going into labour.  I?m excited to meet them, see...

Feb 18th marked 12 years since I started A Beauty Junkie in London. But the first thing I have to acknowledge that fact that new blog content has been somewhat tumbleweed around these parts… honestly, 2020 knocked it out of me and I’ve put the...

I started this post back in August 2019, just over a year ago yet feels like many more than that. Thanks for that 2020, you’ve done quite a number on us all haven’t you" Back when I started the post the first paragraph read a little like...

In the spirit of the current climate, a collection with calming lavender is a welcome dose of normality in a funny old world. The new limited edition Jo Malone Lavender Collection 2020 is on sale now and features one particular brand...

When I first saw this collection launch it really caught my eye. Ticking all the Instagram-friendly boxes packaging wise and it felt like a fresh departure for Estee Lauder. A brand that at it’s core is pretty traditional but from time to time...

Earlier this year I launched something that I’m very proud of – a nice little Facebook community for my fellow beauty junkies – the goal of this group was to bring together others who are keen beauty consumers who are happy to chat everything...

Post contains PR samples One of my absolute favourite things about the beauty world is products that smell good. It’s amazing how fragrance has such a power. Fragrance from perfume to candles to gorgeously scented body products. They can...

Sponsored by Palmer’s – I am part of the #PalmersSquad The idea of this post was originally all about Spring and changing up your body care routine for the new season as days get warmer and longer. However, whilst that is happening and...

Right now we’re living through an unprecedented experience and whilst social media can be a real negative, it also has potential to keep us sane in tricky times. Honestly, I have to agree with a lot of the negativity around it. A vast amount of my...

I knew as soon as I saw this collection on Instagram that it was going to be ‘a bit of me’ as the kids of today say (said in semi sarcastic old person tone). From the product shades to the packaging, it was all round appealing. The MAC Loud &...

A slight cheat as Eleanor’s not quite two yet, but in a week and a bit she will be so close enough. I actually haven’t done an ‘update’ since she was 14 months so it’s fair to say there have been some changes. I feel like...

I should probably call this five plans for the (rest of) 2020 and I can’t believe we’re in March already. I felt like it was only the new year a week ago and now we’re in month three already. Wow, I am already aware of how old I sound waffling...

AD – Post sponsored by Jurlique One of the biggest things I?ve learned about skincare over the years I?ve been a blogger is how it?s not a one-size fits all thing. What works and suits one person will not be that dream routine for...

AD in partnership with Very.com The beauty industry on the whole is a busy market place. There are retailers left right and centre who want your attention (and hard earned cash). Looking for a place that stocks a huge breadth of beauty brands...

I love skincare, at the moment it’s very much by beauty junkie obsession of choice. With the reason being that if my skin is looking good then I can put less makeup on. Which makes day to day a little easier and that for me is a total win. Whilst...

Clarins have a new collection out for Spring 2020 and it’s like a little breath of fresh air after a long winter. The focus of the new collection is is the six shades of Clarins Lip Milky Mousse. Post features PR samples What...

New year, time for a flood of new beauty launches"! In terms of testing them out it is early days but as a little preview I wanted to share some info on the new launches that have been catching my attention this month so far. Post features...

Around this time every year, Jo Malone launch a new addition to their Cologne Intense fragrance range. For those who aren’t familiar, the Cologne Intense range are those found in the black bottles. The signature to these is that they tend to be...

Treatments marked with * provided complimentary as PR experiences. When I first got into the world of beauty it was ALL about makeup. Things to mask imperfections, pretty colours and the stuff you put on your face to ‘cover’. Over the...

Post sponsored by Palmer’s  as part of my work as part of the #PalmersSquad In the middle of winter it?s all too easy to just wrap up under layers of cosy clothes and forget about any of your skin from the neck down. Now, I?m not here to...
