Silkskin - Silk Pillowcase

I had a phase of reading loads of beauty best buy reviews, picking the recommendations and testing them out. I think I was trying to find those elusive products that work. One of the surprise discoveries for me was a silk pillowcase. The theory is that it will not drag your skin as you sleep and avoids those sleep wrinkles that take longer and longer to fade..!

This is the pillow I bought and I have literally used it so much I wore it out. I'm now in the process of buying another one and will definately go back to using this brand. When I first bought the pillow I was delighted how soft it was to sleep on, it is very gentle on the skin but a surprise side effect for me was that it made my hair incredibly soft. How amazing. I was so impressed I bought one for my sister. Victoria Health are currently selling for £36. Now I know this isn't that cheap but the product will last a considerable amount of time so worth the investment.

Victoria Health - Holistic approach to beauty

Beauty Website

There are numerous websites out there selling premium brand make up an creams, however this one stood out for me due to its slightly different approach. This site started off with more of a holistic site and now how turned more mainstream. However I still love the beauty from the inside out feel rather than the more traditional site. Not only does it sell some top quality products but it also has articles and contributions from people I respect (heard of the beauty bible?).

This is their about us comment, which I think sums up their motives:
"We are both passionate about health and well being and have long held a vision of radically changing the face of natural health.
We believe the products we recommend will make a difference to your health and we travel the world to source the most pioneering and cutting-edge supplements currently available."

This site has a few brands you may have heard of but seems to show more up and coming or famous in the US brands. I have purchased a few times from here, mainly supplements from their monthly newsletter recommendation. I have been very happy with both service and price so heartily recommend if you like this kind of thing.

Groupon - Discounted lovely things

Apparently there are some people who haven't heard of this site, for those of us in the know, it is hard to believe. Someone recommended this site to me a few months ago and since I've spent .. and saved... a fortune.

It works by offering a deal, which can only be redeemed if a certain number of people accept the deal. Tends to be beauty / hair salons, restaurants and activities. So it is often a great place to try new places / experiences at a discounted price. The discount is heavy and normally comes in at about 50% reduction on normal RRP.

I've tried several new beauty spas, I am on a constant hunt for the perfect one. I think it works by getting footfall through a place hoping that it will generate repeat business. Its free to join so recommend you sign up and just keep an eye open on the daily emails to see if anything takes your fancy.

A Model Recommends - Great advice

Website / Twitter / YouTube

Ok she really is a model...and she recommends....
Have followed on twitter for a while now and watch her YouTube posts from time to time. I'm a woman who's a sucker for a recommendation, love those top ten beauty products postings you get. However the reason I love her is that she regularly uses all her products and is in the industry so knows what people use and whats hot. Ruth mainly talks about beauty products (my weak point) but also has make up tutorials, clothing and the odd other "she loves" things.

Every post is from a point of view of this is something I love, try it, rather than a why not buy this I'm getting paid commission standpoint. If you're on twitter recommend this is the best way to follow, then you can dip in and out of the website and Youtube on items that spark your interest.
