John Frieda 7 Day Luxurious Volume Range Review
It’s been a while since my last beauty review, but I’m well and truly into the parenting groove these days. I pretty much live without make up on, dry shampooing my hair for about a week while wearing leggings and oversized t-shirts or sweaters on a daily basis. Now I have the daily school run at 8:25 each day looking half decent is right out the window. Especially since LM isn’t the most motivated of children in the morning. Fear not, I have a review of a fab range from John Frieda today that has basically finally solved a hair problem that’s been plaguing me for the last year. In…

Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Masque From Pure Beauty Review*
Well this is a rarity! A beauty post on Cocktails in Teacups, they haven’t made a regular occurrence for a good year now. Mainly due to the fact that since going to Disney became such a huge part of our life beauty went out the window. Of course I still wear make up, wash my hair, clean my face, I just use high street products or something from my stash. Plus, lets face it, I was never very good at the whole beauty reviews anyway! But a few weeks back the kind people at Pure Beauty sent me over a masque to try, hopefully it was going to be that…

Regenerate Enamel Science – First Impressions
I’m just going to all out say it, I’m afraid of the dentist. Not just afraid, but petrified. I had a really bad experience as a child and teen (and it’s not surprising since my Orthodontist has actually been struck off for making some terrible mistakes as far as his patience have been concerned.) I have large teeth and a tiny mouth, which of course lead to some crazy problems, that’s treatment has left me mentally scarred. But I won’t lie, I would love a movie star smile.. But who wouldn’t? Although I did have braces, they weren’t put on properly or for long enough leaving my teeth still pretty…

August 2014 Birchbox, First Impressions
I’m glad I’ve managed to get this post up quicker this month. My third Birchbox arrived last week and I’ve had enough time to have a try of all the products, so here are my first impressions of the contents. This months theme is Away We Go, and unfortunately, I’ll have to say I wasn’t as thrilled with my contents this month. Maybe it’s because I didn’t recognise any of the brands, or maybe it’s because the product selection just didn’t appeal. Whatever it was, only one of the products really grabbed me. But I guess that’s just the luck of the draw. The novelty of getting a beauty box…

The Fragrance Shop Discovery Club Spring Quarter, First Impressions
ALL LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEM NO LONGER AVAILABLE This is a long time coming. I have been over the past month and a half I have been slowly going through my #lincsblogmeet goody bag and sampling everything that would be suitable for me. A lot of it was skincare which requires a fair amount of time to try out (at least six weeks with my skin) but other things, like this Discovery Club box could have been reviewed earlier. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is, I’m lame but at least now I have tried the female perfumes a few times and my…

Facacia Anti-Bacterial Serum and Face Wash, First Impressions
Facacia Skincare System Anti-Bacterial Facial Wash & Serum* £29.99, QVC Firstly, I apologise for the terrible quality of these photos. Unfortunately I haven’t seen day light for the past couple of days due to the constant showers. Now I’m not complaining (well, maybe a little bit) it is a nice break from the muggy heat but it sucks for taking blog photos in natural light and since i’m not flush with cash enough to afford a light box (or whatever it’s called) I have had to use my bedroom light, which of course covers the room in that yellow tinge which is a nightmare to get rid of! ANYWAY, I…
