<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Or: The story of how I accidentally became one of "The Most Extraordinary People In The World"*. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I got an email last July asking me if I wanted to take part in a documentary about my smell loss. I get quite a few emails regarding my anosmia every week (I write about it a lot, lets face it), so didn't particularly pay any special attention to this one. I responded asked for more details, then found myself having a long, long conversation with a BBC researcher and got very, very excited about being on the telly, then heard nothing. For AGES...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">But before I get into the whys and hows of being featured (in a tiny way) on a major documentary series, let's back up a moment and talk about why the BBC wanted to feature me and my "story" at all. I'm not one of the biggest or "best" bloggers, after all, so why me?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well ... My name is Louise Woollam, and I'm "the perfume writer who lost their sense of smell" in what could be seen as a dumb cosmic joke. It's funny, really, a person who writes </span></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">gently-amusing </span></span>(occasionally award-nominated) prose about fragrance on the internet loses their sense of smell and then whines about it continually for several years. Let's make some telly about it! Yes, I'd be rolling my eyes about now if I were reading this too. It's fine, get it out of your system. I'm going to tell you more about it regardless.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">This time three years ago, in 2014, I had a perfectly normal sense of smell, and had just NOT WON a fragrance-writing award (it's fine, I'm genuinely not bitter - it was about fragrances from the pound shop. No one ever won a fancy-pants award writing about those), but I was just about to catch the cold that turned my life upside down. That cold didn't feel much different to any other cold, but the after-effects still linger to this day. </span></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">A life without smell, whether or not you relied upon your nose as much as I did back in the "before", is grey and dull and stressful, and is also one where the simplest of pleasures to distract yourself, such as a glass of wine, or a great meal, or even a cup of coffee or the smell of a hug from your loved ones, are denied to you.</span></span> I spent the best part of a year getting used to my new smell-free life, which was surreal and bonkers and hugely isolating, but then things got worse, which lead me to another different life. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">This time two years ago, back in 2015, I was deep in the blackest pit of despair you can ever imagine. Life had segued from my anosmic "glass box" existence, to living in a surreal smell-landscape where every single item you encounter in life, from shower gel to toothpaste, takeaway curry to a supermarket sandwich (and let us not even mention the circle of hell that is a kitchen to parosmic) to even the smell of your own wet hair could make you throw up, no matter where you were. When something as simple as a colleague accidentally making me some coffee instead of tea would mean that you might have to leave the office for the day, or just walking past someone smoking in the street would also mean puking and weeping. The absolute worst day of my existence happened around this time, when, after a fight about perfume on facebook (where else?) I found myself face down on the floor of the bathroom covered in puke because the smell of my hot, wet hair smelled so damn bad, and I realised I was <i></i>wondering whether or not I could go on. Anosmia may have ruined my life, but parosmia nearly killed me.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nothing smelled good, nothing tasted good, nothing <i>felt </i>good, I couldn't get away from the smells, and I was crippled by them so much on a daily basis that there were days I could barely leave the house. My ENT doctor told me two things during this time: <i>"You know that Michael Hutchence? He lost his sense of smell, you know, and some people think that lead him to kill himself"</i>. Well, to say I have some sympathy with Michael Hutchence on this one would be a mild understatement. I have wondered at several points, if, possibly, Michael Hutchence and I shared the same ENT. I was so damn angry at this idiot for saying this to me, I can't even begin to describe my feelings about it right now. At a different visit I was crippled, crying, and on my knees begging for help, thinking that I was insane in the face of these smells, when he delivered his real zinger: "<i>One day you'll back on this and laugh". </i>Essentially: "suck it up". Suck. It. Up. Can you imagine a doctor saying this if I'd gone blind from that cold. Or deaf? It'd be unacceptable. But because it's "only smell" it's considered fine by the medical community to dismiss the problem. Smell is the least of the senses, in that sense. Well, <b>bollocks </b>to that thinking, say I. Smell is important, and medics dismiss it to the intense frustration of their smell-disabled patients, and doctors who tell patients to "get used to it" deserve scorn, not admiration.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whilst I can, in fact, laugh about some of my experiences now, there was literally nothing funny about the situation I found myself in. Fearing insanity and completely unsupported by my specialist medical team, I was misunderstood generally. It was hell. The truth is that the sense of smell is a neglected one, and even in circles where people really appreciate "smells", there is a lot of mistruth spoken about anosmia and (to a much lesser extent) parosmia by people who rely on spreading fear about losing your sense of smell for their own living. There are more than a couple of master perfumers who need to learn more about smell-loss, to be honest, but I shall mention no names here. Anyway, I digress.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have to say here, that I'm on the "lucky" anosmics. I'm <u>recovering</u>. Thanks to my own damn stubbornness in refusing to give up wearing, and writing about, perfume (yes, even with no sense of smell, and especially with a distorted sense of smell), it turns out I was unconsciously smell-training myself throughout this time. I'd <a href="http://www.smelltraining.co.uk/" target="_blank">read about smell training </a>back when I was deeply parosmic and just the thought of <i>deliberately </i>smelling aromatherapy oils (particularly given my deep antipathy towards "woo" medicine anyway) when I just knew that would make me sick, struck me as a <i>terrible </i>idea! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nonetheless, I doggedly wore a different perfume every day, smelled it deliberately regardless of the reaction, and wrote a line or two about it on Instagram even if what I wrote was mostly just a memory. There are now over 400 of my "mini-reviews" on Instagram via the hashtag #LipsNSpritz. Through doing this, I discovered that there, in fact, <i>were </i>things I could smell "properly", and I have even, <a href="http://www.4160tuesdays.com/ourperfumes.html" target="_blank">with the help of perfumer Sarah McCartney</a>, created a couple of fragrances that smell good to me - and smell good to other people too! - which is an amazing thing to have been given the opportunity to do. One of them <a href="http://www.fifthsense.org.uk/" target="_blank">donates funds to Fifth Sense</a>, a pressure group that helps out other people with smell and taste disorders. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Smell training (even in as haphazard a way as I discovered it) has, for me, given me some of my life back. There are still things I can't really smell - not being able to smell anything burning is a particular worry. Not being able to smell farts, slightly less so - and trying to review perfumes is more akin to trying to do a jigsaw puzzle with my nose, than making up a story to go with a pretty smell which is basically what it used to be. Nonetheless, I am persisting, and I will continue to do so - the three Jasmine awards I was nominated for by the Fragrance Foundation last year remain a huge point of pride (even though I didn't win. Again), and I it remain an ambition of mine to be the first post-anosmic perfume writer ever to win a Jasmine Award. One day. I'm hoping to do more work in the smell-training arena in the coming months too. I'm speaking at the Royal School of Medicine in a couple of months, and you can bet if I could remember my idiot-ENT's name, I'd be forcing him to listen to what I have to say about my "treatment" from him. I will say this though: my GP was <i>amazing</i>, and I did get more help from him and support than I did from any "specialist" I saw during that time. He was a lifesaver, literally.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, er, yeah. That was a really long way of getting around to saying that the BBC eventually did get back to me and I spent two hugely amusing days last year being followed around by TV crews, doing deeply random things and I really hope the film gets across just some of the difficulties of being anosmic, and parosmic. I'm terrified of watching it (the BBC haven't let me have an advance copy in spite of me begging for one on several occasions. Damn their eyes!), but I do know I'd have been hugely grateful if someone else with the condition had spoken out about it back when things were at their darkest for me. Life isn't dark any more, and I know I'm not alone in suffering these conditions, and that's a huge relief. If my little film helps anyone else, then whatever kind of perfumed wanker I look like come Wednesday evening, it will have been worth it.</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, Beauty Pie, then. Launched with no little amount of hyperbole towards the end of last year by Marcia Kilgore, the founder of (amongst others): Soap & Glory and FitFlop. Hyped as "makeup without the markup", the website boasts of "luxury" lipsticks from £2.84, eyeshadow palettes from £6.94, and foundations from £4.75.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sounds amazing, right? By cutting out the middleman, using generic packaging, and charging a £10 per month subscription fee, Beauty Pie acts like a "buyers club" for loyal beauty fans wanting bargains on high-end cosmetics. I was sent a box of the hero products just before Christmas (alas, mostly unusable, because of the random - too brown and nude - colour selections), alongside a free 3 month membership, and I recently activated that membership and made some more suitable purchases to test out the service before I finished finalising my thoughts. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Before I get into opinions though, here are some facts:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Each product description on Beauty Pie gives you the member price, and the non-member price.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Your £10 subscription fee allows you to buy £100-worth (at the "non-member" prices) of products, which is realistically around three or four products, depending on what you buy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Your minimum membership period is three months. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Meaning that if you only find a single product or two that you fancy each month, then they will have cost you (using the example products above): £2.84 + £6.94 + £4.75 + Shipping (£5.22 x3) + handling (2% of order cost x3) + £30 Membership fee which is around £60.48, meaning that each product actually cost you £20.16. Of course, if you ordered all three products at once, you'd save yourself £10.44 in postage fees (and I've used the minimum fee here - it's changeable depending on what you order), making each product cost £16.68. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">And, at present, it is definitely entirely possible that there is only one or two products that you'd feel like buying each month, because the selection is definitely limited. It took me till March to activate my free membership, because when I first went to fill my basket back in December, there simply wasn't anything that I fancied buying. There were several things I stuck in my basket, I didn't particularly want them, and they were there just to make the most of actually placing an order, but I was ... underwhelmed. Now, admittedly, I'm a beauty addict, and there isn't much I don't have (I could wear a different lipstick every day for <i>at least</i> the next 6 months without a repeat, probably), but even so, I found the pickings thin.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">However, if you don't make a purchase in a particular month, your £100 allowance (or, any unspent allowance if you didn't fill your basket) rolls forward. So, if you join and don't buy till your third month, you'd have a £300 allowance, and would make a saving on the postage costs. It, kind of, evens out. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
Selection-wise, <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">things have definitely improved recently with the addition of the eyeshadow palettes (which I think have been well selected colourwise), and some accessories like a brush kit, but there is - for me - still not a huge amount to choose from. This will change throughout the year, as they add more and more lines, and I believe skincare launches in April. But it's that element of picking and choosing that is problematic for me, because most of the pictures on the Beauty Pie website are CGI, and the colours are incredibly difficult to select, as a result. There are no swatches, no natural light, no photographs of the products in use, and the descriptions are minimalistic at best. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The website is great, however, for listing the breakdowns of the prices and for featuring complete lists of the ingredients - I noticed that practically everything is listed as paraben and fragrance-free (I'll come back to fragrance though), and the entire range is also cruelty-free, which is definitely something to be applauded. </span></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Beauty Pie are pushing the idea that these are "luxury", and "high end" products very, very hard, which leads me to address the elephant in the room: are these products worth the "non-members" prices quoted? Well, the short answer is: No. Not really. There's nothing about the products you buy here that could possibly justify the "non-member prices" listed here, for a number of reasons. But does this mean they are <i>bad </i>products? No, actually, definitely not. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">If I was asked "are they worth the prices you pay for them" though? Then I'd reply that depending on how often you order, and how carefully you order, they <i>might </i>be. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let's take the <b>Supercolour Kohl Eyeliner</b>, for example. The non-member price listed is £15.00, but you can buy it for £2.04. At the £15 pricepoint, a good comparison might be the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on liner which normally retails for £15.50. Ignoring the packaging, which is bound to differ, in consistency, Supercolour surprised me, actually. It is good and black - blacker than expected given the name "soft black" and is soft and applies easily. It doesn't last that long, but in a £2.04 eyeliner, this isn't so much of a problem. However, in a £15 eyeliner masquerading as a £2.04 eyeliner, it is more of one. Urban Decay lasts longer, and is better in the waterline too. I would not, ever, pay £15 for the Supercolour Kohl Eyeliner, but if the "non-member price" was listed at around £6-8, I'd believe it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Likewise the <b>Futurelipstick Matte</b>, which would ostensibly retail at £20. Lipstick Queen Sinner lipsticks retail at around £22 and have better pigmentation, alongside a better texture and they smell better too; of nothing. For some reason all <b>Beauty Pie</b> lip products smell rather strongly of toffee - and I wonder how that has happened given all their products are ostensibly unfragranced. Fututrelipstick Matte is a fine, nice lipstick. Nice pigmentation, comfortable to wear. If I'd spent £6.99 at Superdrug on it, I'd be very happy. at £2.84 + postage and handling and membership, it's fine. If I'd spent £20 I'd be bitterly disappointed at the cheap smell, the cheap packaging, and the just average wear, however.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">That thought brings me to the <b>Everyday Great Skin Foundation</b>, which smells of nail varnish remover. And disgustingly so. It may well be a great product, but I can't bring myself to put it on my face, to be honest. I can't think of any "luxury" (or even high street) brand that would have allowed a product that smelled this bad to be sold, especially for £30! Even at £4.75, it's a little overpriced, to be honest. Especially when you add in the difficulty of selecting the correct shade in the first instance. I am aware I have a smell disability, and I thought for a while that this might be my problem rather than a problem with the product itself, but I've read some other reviews with similar thoughts. So if you're not bothered by the smell of your products, then do crack on and let me know how wrong I am, but for a "luxury" product to smell this bad - and it is a <u>bad </u>smell, not merely "a smell I don't particularly care for" like with the toffee lip products above - is beyond the pale, to be honest.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">And then there is my final thought, whilst everyone likes a bargain (and I LOVE a bargain, me), a beauty brand stands or falls on the value for money, whatever the price point. <u><b>If </b></u>I can tell, objectively, that a £20 lipstick lasts longer on the lips than a £6.99 lipstick, and won't leave my lips chapped and dry, then I'll probably buy the £20 lipstick, and yes, I know that the majority of that cost is on the packaging and the scent. Here's the thing though, I LIKE fancy packaging, it turns out. And I really don't like it when expenstive makeup has cheap packaging - I like the full package, and I don't really mind paying for it. But also wanting value for money (and it is the consumer who decides this, according to their budget) is why independent beauty reviews are important, and this is why I'm still blogging about makeup, these days. Colour selection from a brand will also have a part to play in making my selections too - if I need a specific shade, and the cheap one has it and the expensive range doesn't, I might make a different decision. But with Beauty Pie, one can't make those decisions because you can't swatch, and the colour pictures on the website can't assist in those decisions. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once you factor in all the on-costs these products aren't as cheap as they appear, and nor are they the great value I'd like them to be. That your £2.04 eyeliner might end up costing more like £6-8 or even £17 by the time you get it into your grubby little paws doesn't bother me that much (though your mileage might, as they say, vary) it's still a "cheap" eyeliner. But will it be a great eyeliner? For me, Urban Decay do GREAT eyeliners, even at £15 a pop. The Beauty Pie liner is just an okay liner, at whatever price you ended up buying it for. However, if you're happy with "okay" pretending to be "premium" albeit with the bells and whistles stripped out, then that's great too. I like the bells and whistles, personally. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">What really bothers me is that the website tell you that you're getting a £15 product, and, actually, the products don't measure up to the standards of "real" £15 products. I like that my real luxury products smell better, and feel better, and look better in the packaging, however, I must add here, that I actually quite like the simple packaging of Beauty Pie products, they're nicely branded, visually striking, and look good together. That they don't look expensive isn't, particularly, a problem ... But there is an entire sensory element missing from Beauty Pie for a number of reasons. If I buy an expensive product, I expect more from it. If I buy a cheaper one, I have a different set of expectations. If I buy an expensive product at a cheap price, I don't really expect a cheap product with a fake high price discounted to make it look like a bargain, and to me, that is what Beauty Pie looks like. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">In conclusion, I do actually think Beauty Pie is a great idea. But if you go in expecting Tom Ford/Charlotte Tilbury/Chantecaille/Chanel, or even Mac-level quality, you're going to be disappointed. However, if you want a source of cheaper Rimmel/Revlon/No7/Gosh-level products quality-wise, then you might just have found the beauty retailer of your dreams. I am disappointed Beauty Pie isn't real "buyers club", and only offers own-brand products, but maybe that might change in the future, and the membership fee will be really worth it if they expand in that way.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I still have two months left of my membership. There's a brush set that I might invest in once I can purchase again, but beyond that ... I just don't know. Beauty Pie might be cheap, but it's .... complicated.</span></span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Clinique Take the Day Off </b>cleansing oil is a staple of my routine, and frankly, I'm really embarrassed that it's taken me till now to review this product!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have sensitive skin, and this, coupled with a rather, um ... <i>magpie</i>-like ... approach to collecting skincare can cause occasional problems. However, <b>Clinique Take the Day Off </b>oil has never, ever caused me a problem. Unencumbered by essential or mineral oils, or even, weirdly, any oils at all (the short ingredients list is full of oil-like ingredients, but of actual oil in the formulation; there is none), TTDO is a silky-feeling cleanser that removes every single scrap of makeup and sunscreen without ever stripping, or irritating the skin. And it is deliciously inert, unfragranced, and just a great choice for sensitive skins because of it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whilst I don't use it every day, where it becomes invaluable in my collection is when I'm introducing new products into my routine. As I have sensitive skin (I think I might have mentioned it once or twice over the years), introducing a new product into an established routine can be traumatic, so I have a couple of products that I fall back onto, ones that I know never irritate. And I use those religiously alongside any new product to ensure that any results (good or bad) come directly from the product I've changed, rather than the routine itself. I also have an SOS skincare routine for those times when my skin is just being irritable, and <b>TTDO </b>oil has made it into both those routines. Other products that I rely on for testing purposes include <b>La Roche Posay Serozinc</b>, and <b>Murad Hydro-Dynamic Moisturiser, </b>and the SOS routine is different again. For a product to make both lists is very, very rare.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b> Clinique Take the Day Off </b>oil is both gentle on the skin, and a powerful cleanser. It takes off almost all makeup just in one cleanse, and emulsifies beautifully. Also, it lasts almost forever, I've had a bottle on the go ever since the launch, and only recently had to buy a backup. I can't imagine life without it. At around £19-£22 for a big 200ml bottle, it's a bit of a bargain too. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">March has finally arrived, and in some books (okay, <i>mine</i>), that means spring is nearly here. It has been a long, long winter for me, and I'm craving greenness, brightness and the smell of living things. A bottle of <b>Aedes de Venustas</b> signature fragrances turned up on my desk quite unexpectedly last week, and it has fulfilled all my spring-y requirements beautifully.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was reading recently, and some "science" reports popped up that stated that a marked preference for bitter tastes might mean you're a psychopath, and went on to extrapolate that a marked liking for black coffee, gin and tonic, or even dark chocolate (!) might be a pointer to your mental state. In that case, I found myself wondering if a marked preference for sour might be the sign of being a total misanthrope? For my name is Get Lippie, and I love sour things and hate people. The reason why I mention this will become clearer later.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Aedes de Venustas</b> begins with vibrant rhubarb, nostril-tingling and mouth-puckering in the most delightful way. It invokes memories of me, as a child, with my parents digging around in the vegetable plot that we dug out in the back garden one summer. That was the summer in which we simultaneously discovered that rhubarb was the only thing that would grow in our rocky, clay-heavy patch, and that the entire family <i>hated </i>gardening. These days, I love rhubarb in any shape or form, whether raw with the fresh cut end dipped in sugar (a crunchy, textural magnificence), or cooked into a dessert item, or in a very specific chutney from Waitrose that was the only way I could eat many meats when my parosmia was its crippling worst. I love it in soaps, hand lotions, candles, shower gel anything. I mean, who hasn't taken a 3 mile detour (on foot) during a trip to Paris to see if a particular shop has restocked a much-loved rhubarb shower-gel, hmn*? Just me? Anyway, rhubarb is a wonderfully astringent scent, akin to lemon and grapefruit, but with a slightly greener, more vegetal aspect to it. As rhubarb is technically a vegetable, this shouldn't really be a surprise, I guess.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Aedes de Venustas,</b> in spite of pairing rhubarb with the soft green fuzziness of tomato leaf, the clean and flinty mineral tones of vetiver, alongside just a whisper of bright green apple, deftly avoids being a gourmand fragrance, in spite of its fruity star guest. By avoiding any sugar in the mixture whatsoever, and allowing the sharp green and pink stalks of rhubarb to take centre stage and dominate the scent throughout the wear, Aedes is a sour-fragrance lover's delight, a fruity fragrance for grownups, if you will. This is no "rhubarb and custard" confection and I, for one, am grateful for that.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <b>Aedes </b>is a fairly linear fragrance, in that what you smell at the beginning is more or less what you will smell throughout, but the dry-down does pull a little sweetness through as the rhubarb fades, and some of the other fruits (berries, mostly, I think) in the composition begin to assert themselves. It's fairly quiet, and I find I need to apply quite heavily to get the full effect (but please, of course, bear in mind that I have a compromised olfactory system), but this isn't a fragrance that is likely to offend in the office, as the sillage is quite low, even when application is a little heavy-handed.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">All this said, <b>Aedes de Venustas</b> turns out to be a proper love-it or hate-it fragrance in the Lippie household. My "auxilliary nasal unit" (aka: MrLippie) properly hates this fragrance. I mean, properly <u>hates </u>it. He thinks it smells of something rotten - that'll be the unusual sourness - and refuses to come anywhere near it. Which is a shame, as it's really quite beautiful, if a little strange at first smell, fragrances aren't often sour, which is a huge shame as there's a lot of beauty to be found in sourness, sometimes, you just have to be prepared to look for it. Said the misanthrope ... </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">This is a sponsored post on behalf of No7</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">In January, I started taking part in the <a href="http://www.getlippie.com/2017/01/boots-no7-lift-and-luminate.html" target="_blank">#BetterTogether Challenge with No7,</a> whereby I was going to be using only their revamped range of<b> Lift and Luminate</b> skincare for a month. Now, I'm back to talk about the results!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now, it has been a heck of a challenge for me, and the temptation to continue picking different bits and bobs from my collection to suit different requirements on a day to day basis has been strong! But, I've managed to stay completely true to the challenge throughout the month I've had the products, and only supplemented the range's core day and night moisturisers, serum and eye cream with appropriate cleansers and toners as required. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, how did I get on? Well ... colour me <i>hugely </i>impressed, actually. I don't say that lightly (or even often), but I've been delighted with the condition of my skin throughout the trial, and I've even begun to wonder if all the chopping and changing I do normally is maybe not the best way to treat (my) sensitive skin. My skin has been smooth, soft, and with far fewer of the under-skin "irritation bumps" I quite regularly get around my eyes, which is my usual sign that my skin has been overstimulated and usually means I need to remove something from my routine. My skin is even noticeably less red, which is amazing.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Both the day and night creams are smooth and rich in texture, but don't feel oily on the skin. They leave behind a nice velvety feeling on the face, which makes a great base for makeup in the case of the day cream. My skin is on the oilier side, and I haven't feel the need to add extra oil to my skin under either cream, even though it's winter and supplementing with oils is usually standard for me in the coldest months of the year. Both the day cream and eye cream feature SPF - something I usually avoid in my skincare, preferring to add a separate SPF on top, but I haven't had any problems with it in either product. The serum is velvety and sinks in really easily to the skin, again without leaving a greasy base behind.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Have I noticed a huge improvement in my skin? No, not a huge one as I was starting from a base of healthy skin anyway, but there is definitely a noticeable difference, my skin is calmer and more even, and I'm very happy with it. It seems that things in skincare land really do work "better together", and these products are joining my regular arsenal right away.

As is now traditional around this time of year, it's time for me to point out that Anosmia exists, and list some resources for people who may be affected by this life-changing, but barely-known condition. My life was turned upside down in 2014 by the simple act of catching a cold. My olfactory nerve died as a result of that cold, and life hasn't been the same ever since. I still feel the effects of that cold, and the resulting anosmia, every single day of my life.<br />
<br />
Imagine never knowing if something smells bad, whether it's your home, your food, yourself. Imagine never being able to smell your loved ones again, your babies, your partner, your family - not being able to bury your nose into their clothing and just inhale their essential scent. Imagine a sterile world where nothing smells of anything, and you feel completely isolated as a result. That's <b>anosmia</b>.<br />
<br />
Or conversely, imagine a world where things smell too much, but every single thing smells wrong. Like, for example, spending a year or two where every single thing you smell smells like it's burned. Or rotten, or burned and rotten. Then imagine every single thing that you taste also appears to be burned or rotten, or both. That's <b>parosmia</b>, and that was my life for a very long while.<br />
<br />
Or imagine that you constantly hallucinate bad smells, and can't think of anything else whilst it's happening. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night thinking your house is burning down. Or that everywhere you go is covered in gasoline. That's <b>phantosmia</b>, and it's incredibly difficult to live with.<br />
<br />
Then there's <b>cacosmia</b>, and I have just one word for you here: sewage. Imagine your whole life smells - and tastes - like sewage. I have been there, and I can tell you it was the worst time of my life.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow, many anosmics across the world will be wearing red and using the hastag #anosmiaaware on Twitter to share their stories of anosmia, and I'll be amongst them. If you're interested in finding out more about the condition, you can have a look at the following links.<br />
<br />
<b>Anosmia Awareness Day</b> Official Site (with further links):<a href="https://www.anosmiaawareness.org/social-media/"> https://www.anosmiaawareness.org/social-media/</a><br />
<b>Fifth Sense</b> (advocacy group for people with smell and taste disorders) <a href="http://fifthsense.org.uk/">http://fifthsense.org.uk</a><br />
<br />
Oh, and my story will be featured on episode five of <b>"Incredible Medicine: Dr Weston's Casebook"</b>, which airs on March 22nd at 9pm on BBC2 where I'll be talking about my struggle in learning to live with my conditions, and regain my sense of smell. I'm bloody terrified.<br />

<br />
When I heard Zelens were launching a new lipstick range, I was delighted, for <b>Zelens </b>are one of my (if not the<i> very </i>pinnacle) favourite skincare brands of all time, and so I was incredibly excited at the thought of actual lipsticks from them. I already own several of the lip glosses that were launched a couple of years ago, and they're amongst my most-used lip products. Then, when I saw the actual<b> Extreme Velvet Lipsticks</b> in the flesh, I was even happier, for instead of releasing a range of crowd-pleasing insipid nudes and baby-pinks, like so many ranges these days, the colours (inspired by the favourite colours of the patients seen by Dr Marko Lens, the brand founder, in his surgery) are bold, and rich and deeply, deeply pigmented.<br />
<br />
And they're beautiful.<br />
<br />
<b>Zelens Extreme Velvet Lipsticks</b> have a soft and hydrating matte formula,
which is full of lipids and waxes, and they also contain both
hyaluronic acid and an ester of retinol (to encourage cell-turnover and
collagen production), all of which are designed to treat the lips as
well as colour them. These are a great, exceedingly comfortable and
non-drying wear. Whilst not promoted as a long-wearing formula, I have
found that they wear well without needing a touch-up for around six to
eight hours. And without leaving a red ring of doom, too! They fade gently and evenly, even after eating or drinking. <br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Swatches in natural light (l-r) Nude Plum, Red, Dark Red and Merlot</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I have, of course, gravitated towards the redder end of the colour choices in my selections - there are nine shades in the range, the others are Nude Pink, Nude Beige, Cinnamon, Raisin and Tea Rose. <br />
<br />
<b>Nude Plum</b> is a great "nude" shade for people who (like me) don't really wear nudes, with plenty of pigment, and without that nasty "concealer lip" effect.<br />
<b>Red </b>is a bright and slightly warmed orange-based red that colours beautifully in one swipe of the bullet.<br />
<b>Dark Red</b> is a slightly warm deep red wine shade.<br />
<b>Merlot </b>is an even deeper version of dark red, a little difficult for everyday wear for me, but just stunning with the right outfit.<br />
<br />
I'll probably pick up Tea Rose at some point as it's a great everyday colour, and I have a feeling it'll be quite versatile with the depth of pigmentation on offer. If I have one criticism of the range (and it's a minor one, admittedly) it's that I'd like to see a brighter deep pink in here too because as it stands, the range is slightly skewed dark and warm, but actually that's not really a bad thing in the bland sea of nudes that tend to predominate these days. <br />
<br />
The lipsticks cost £32, are housed in handsome silver tube with a screw-top lid and are <a href="http://www.zelens.com/product.php?xProd=131&xSec=3" target="_blank">available exclusively from the Zelens website</a><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">I haven't read too much about the release of the latest fragrance from <b>Amouroud; Silk Route</b>, and I'm wondering why that is? I attended the launch back in December, and I was a little captivated.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Silk Route is, like all Amouroud fragrances, based around Oud, but is not an in your face "oud" fragrance. It surprised me by being positively gourmand, and in my favourite way: creamy, without being too sugary. It might have been the Christmas connection - Harrods in December might well be one of the most Christmassy places on earth. (It's also hell, but that's by the by) - but this reminded me of eggnog. A boozy (rum), creamy mass of spice (nutmeg) with a hint of dark, damp wood beneath, it's not the brand's easiest wear - smelling like a pudding isn't appealing to everyone - but it's truly lovely regardless. At least, to my nose it is, it reminds me of two of my favourite fragrances of all-time; Safran Troublant, which I wore to my wedding, but with softer, less zingy spice, and a slightly more pudding-y aspect in the dry down; and of Amaranthine, with the slightly corrupt milkiness and creamy aspect, but it's a little more mainstream than Amaranthine. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's a deft and cuddly fragrance, warming and comforting, like a bowl of your favourite hot dessert on a cold winter's night. Or beautiful pain d'epices straight from the oven. Glorious. But not for everyone. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes a packaging concept is just so perfect that it hits all the right notes for a brand. Italian music-lovers Andrea and Chiara Valdo created <b>Jusbox </b>and </span></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">launched their initial four-fragrance range last summer, and it's just too beautifully done to go without comment. From the gorgeous 78ml bottles to the stunningly detailed vinyl record-like lids, to the detailed boxes and packaging materials, every detail seems to just hit the right spot, and it's a joy to behold.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The four fragrances in the initial launch are each inspired by a different era of musical history, from <b>Micro Love</b>, a cold and metallic incense inspired by the early 90's and the music of U2, to <b>14 Hour Dream</b>, a spicy melange of ginger, saffron and vanilla which was inspired by the early 70's and a little remembered concert by Pink Floyd, to <b>Beat Cafe</b>, the smell of cigars and brandy inspired by Bob Dylan and the Beat Generation of the sixties.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">But it is, of course, the 80's-tastic fragrance <b>Use Abuse</b>, inspired by the magnificent Freddie Mercury that I want to talk about, having grown up in that decade and all. Described by <b>Jusbox </b>as a tribute to all things in excess, and said things unconstrained by limits (whatever any of that actually means), <b>Use Abuse</b> is actually a huge white floral, containing "overdoses" of tuberose and jasmine sambac tempered by a wash of clean sandalwood in the base. <b>Use Abuse</b> - teetering on the edge of bad taste in all manner of ways, from the name, to the description and onwards - could have been a headache-inducing nightmare, in the style of Giorgio Beverly Hills and Poison and the like, but it lacks the throat-catching character of either, and also won't make your eyes water.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Starting with a clean yet fizzy waft of mandarin orange and bubblegum (from the tuberose), <b>Use Abuse</b> is both amusement-inducing, and retro, without being simply a nostalgic exercise. On the skin it blooms with some rather plastick-y and synthetic white flowers when the jasmine arrives - and let us face it, there was very little natural about the 80s - but remains fizzy and fun throughout the wear, without ever really revealing anything particularly significant down in the depths of the dry-down. It's rather linear, but that first hook grabs you in and doesn't really let go whilst you're wearing. Like a pop song you know is tacky and cheesy, but gets you onto the dancefloor every time anyway. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Altogether a lot cleaner and very much simpler than the actual fragrances we wore in the 80's, <b>Use Abuse</b> is isn't nearly as subversive, or even as deep as it'd like us to think it is (more Stock/Aitken/Waterman than Mercury et al) but it's none the worse for that. It's a good, fun wear, in what might just be the most perfect container of its type I've ever seen, and you can't really get more 80's than that.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">I confess, I'm sat here at my keyboard with literally no idea of what I'm about to write, so if this "review" of <b>Beaufort London Fathom V</b> makes even less sense than usual, you'll know why.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">First things first, since losing my sense of smell nearly three years ago, and being still deep in the recovery phase from parosmia (where everything I smell is distorted to a greater or lesser degree), I have to confess that I really miss the smells of nature, the good, the bad and the ugly. I've cried twice in the last three years on smelling particular fragrances (once on smelling Sel Marin by James Heeley, which is about as photorealistic a treatise on the salty smell of the seashore I've ever encountered, and the other on smelling a saffron fragrance that made me realise my synaesthesia hadn't disappeared entirely), and this, the salty smell of a rockpool suffocating with slowly drying seaweed at dawn also makes me a little emotional in similar ways.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Beaufort London</b> make extremely uncompromising fragrances which are always unexpected, and it must be admitted that this can make them very challenging to wear, but I've worn <b>Fathom V</b> a few times now, and I love it a great deal. It's the greenest fragrance I've encountered; to the extent that MrLippie has exclaimed "that's VERY green!" when I've just sprayed it in a different room to him (he normally has three categories of smell: "sweet", "orangey", and "strawberry", which, bearing in mind I very rarely wear sweet OR fruity fragrances can make getting his opinion on things rather challenging when he's acting as my "auxiliary nose*"), and he's right. It's so very green that they might have to invent another category of green entirely just for this single fragrance.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is green like the aforementioned drying seaweed, but also green like the stems of freshly bashed flowerstalks when you walk past a florist on the high street, and green like the greenest kale smoothie you can imagine, and as a result, it's a bit like everything green in nature has blended itself into some huge (hopefully friendly) green monster and come up to smack you one in the face with a soft yet huge green fist in a, you know, <i>good </i>way. It's also salty and woody, and, strangely, earthy, like the roots of a plant you've just dug up. Think of crushed sap and mud, on the edge of a wooden-handled metal spade you're using at the seaside and you won't be far wrong.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I grew up in an inland (river and canal) port-town and <b>Beaufort London</b> <b>Fathom V</b> inspires in me a longing for a home that doesn't exist any more, which in fact has never really existed anywhere except the inside of my head, and as a result it makes me long for places and times that would be impossible to get to any more, even if they were real. Can you be homesick for a place you've never been? Fathom V is the concentrated and distilled smell of the British coastline, natural and raw and blunt and untamed, and it's just plain sublime.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's one of the most amazing smells I've ever encountered, I'm just not entirely sure it's actually a perfume. In candle, or room scent form, I can imagine this is fantastic, and I'd welcome my house smelling this amazing way. On my skin though, it makes me tearful for a time and a place that I've only ever imagined. A frankly astonishing feat, especially when you remember I haven't smelled anything resembling "home" for years.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> <span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">There's no getting around it, £55 is very, very expensive for a foundation. There's such a wealth of wonderful foundations around the £20-30 range these days (and even less, truth be told), that why would you even think about splashing out on something costing double the average? That was my thinking before I bought a bottle of <b>Guerlain Parure Gold Radiance Foundation</b>, anyway.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">However, and quite surprisingly, I haven't regretted a penny of this purchase, and it's unlikely that I'm going to, because this sky-rocketed to the top of the list my favourite foundations right after the first wear, and I've been kind of limiting my use of it since so I don't run out. Crazy, huh? Yeah, I know.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Housed in a handsome black glass bottle, Parure Gold has a pump mechanism, and promises full, but glowing, coverage and boy, does it deliver! A silky-textured liquid, it smoothes easily over skin, and blends beautifully, covering even the reddest of red skins. I am prone to extremely high-colouring, which is one of the banes of my existence, but Parure Gold copes with it very well, even when I'm in full flush, and keeps it at bay (or at least well-hidden) throughout the day too.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whilst the coverage is full, it's not mask-like, and still leaves your skin looking like skin. It's layerable without caking, and your skin glows beautifully without looking shiny, glittery or greasy. It's exceptionally forgiving of lines and wrinkles and seems to skip over pores without gathering in them. It lasts very well, and I've not found that it needs any real touching up over the course of a day, either. I'm seriously in love with this stuff. When your foundation needs to deliver, this delivers in spades.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I did several days filming with BBC2 last year for a documentary (more about that soon), and this is the foundation I'm wearing for all of them.

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Right. I've started this "review", like, fifteen different ways now, and they were all a complete bag of utter shite. I'm out of the habit of blogging at the moment, admittedly, and I can't deny it, but there's no way for me to write a "proper" review of this anyway. She'd squash me. The truth is that Caroline is a friend of mine, and <b>Pixi Double Cleanse</b> is going to sell BAJILLIONS of units regardless of anything I have to say (as it should) because a) it's fupping brilliant and b) Caroline is also fupping brilliant. So, I'm just going to say whatever I want. No change there, really, but anyway ...</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Caroline has been talking about making a skincare range for the best part of a decade now, and I know that she has turned down any number of offers to work with other brands. She chose Pixi over them, because they gave her the freedom to put precisely what she wanted into the jars, and she believes in their integrity as a brand. Personally, I don't get on well with all of their skincare products (but what I do use, I <i>love</i>) having sensitive skin, but they're an excellent, mid-priced range, that cater for a range of skin-types and conditions without overselling themselves. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Double Cleanse</b> is <i>gorgeous</i>. I'm not a huge fan of overly-scented products, and I react to products that are filled with essential oils, so discovering that both the "solid oil" and cream sides of the container are completely unscented, and not full of essential oils was a delight. The jar is bifurcated, containing 50mls each of a silky balm that melts instantly on contact with skin, and a rich cream cleanser that feels wonderfully hydrating on skin. The balm will destroy any makeup it comes into contact with without stripping the skin, and the cream is ...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">... well, I'm not usually a huge fan of cream cleansers tbh, preferring to use them only when my skin is irritable, or irritated, and then usually in conjunction with my other "SOS" skincare products (which I haven't needed much recently), but when I <i>have </i>used this one I've found it rich and creamy, and wonderfully soothing, and very much like the much-missed Clarins Extra-Comfort Cleansing Cream (the one in the jar, not the less-good reformulated one in the tube), so I'll give it a pass on this occasion.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've had my jar for a couple of months now, and it's been the cleanser I've reached for again and again and again in that time, and it's brilliant, but I do have a gripe with the packaging. Whilst having both cleansers in the one tub is actually a brilliant idea, it's not ideal if you have a marked preference for one kind of cleansing over another. I'd buy a full-size pot of the balm cleanser in a heartbeat, you don't need much, and it's fabulous, but I'm definitely not using the cream side as much (I'll be honest, I don't always cleanse twice, because I'm a lazy bitch), and the sides of my jar are uneven as a result. I will not finish both sides of the jar at the same time A little bird* did tell me at the official launch last week that this pot may end up being the "travel" size, which would be a perfect use for the current packaging. I just hope that means that full sizes of both cleansers are on the way. Fingers crossed! </span></span><br />

To prove that things work <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">#BetterTogether</b>,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Boots have <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/No-7/Skincare/Age-range-45-60/"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>revamped<b> </b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">their entire <b>No7 Lift and Luminate</b></span> skincare range</a> so that every
item, including the day cream, the night cream and the eyecream now
incorporates all the same great skincare benefits as the <b>Triple Action Serum,
</b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">and clinical trials suggest that
88% of users reported better results when using the Lift & Luminate serum
alongside the day cream. To back up those results, Boots have also challenged
10 UK bloggers <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to use only this range
for the next month and report back on how they get along. I was one of the
lucky ones selected, and I’ve been trialling for a few days already. I’m
looking forward to seeing how the next few weeks go! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Origins always do lovely gift sets at this time of year, and who can resist a little tea-based relaxation? One of my recent addictions is a matcha tea latte whenever I can get hold of one (to me they taste just like Horlicks, and I love Horlicks. I know, I need to get out more), and so the Matcha Madness gift set was a little delight when it arrived. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Housed in a giant green tea-caddy, the Matcha Madness gift set contains one Matcha Madness Revitalising Powder Face Mask, one Powder Mask Mixing Bowl, and one Powder Mask Mixing Tool. My picture above also features the Matcha Madness body mask which I didn't realise wasn't part of the kit until after I took the photos, sorry!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The idea is that you mix two spoons (one end of the mixing tool is also a spoon) of the powder mask with two spoons of water in the bowl provided, and mix until combined, then apply to your face with the other end of the mixing tool ten relax for ten minutes whilst it dries. Rinse to remove, and presto! Smooth and softened skin practically in an instant. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">At £45, this is a great set, and the bowl and spoon will be great for anyone who is following the multi-masking trend, but personally, I'm in love with the great big tin which I'm desperate to find a use for!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Brilliant present for the tea-obsessive in your life ... </span> </span><br />

<br />
Christmas isn't Christmas in the Lippie household without an Aromatics gift set of some sort, and so, after discovering that I have enough of the original Aromatics Elixir to last me approximately 400 lifetimes (so around 4 bottles then, including various special editions), this year, I went for an Aromatics in Black box. Released in 2015 as a "Noir" version of the original, Aromatics in Black boasts plum and grapefruit in the top notes alongside more vetiver in the base.<br />
<br />
My nose and I didn't really get along with Aromatics in Black when it was first released (I suspect it was the grapefruit) as it caused parosmic reactions, but I'm enjoying rediscovering it now. It's about as "noir" as playdo frankly, but that doesn't mean it's uninteresting. The addition of plum and grapefruit gives it a more "oriental" feel, without it really turning into a bog-standard "fruitchouli", but it is very different, both sweeter and lighter than the original Aromatics Elixir, which I love simply because it doesn't smell like anything else on earth - and it was my signature scent for nearly 20 years, and if that doesn't tell you how much I love AE, then nothing will - whist still retaining something, albeit a soapier "something" of the fragrance it's based on. As flankers go, it's a good one. It'll never replace the original AE, but it'll do for the days when real AE is simply too much effort.<br />
<br />
It's a little odd that they've made a "noir" version of something that's already the "noir-iest" fragrance on earth, if you ask me, but there you go. The very best thing about Clinique gift sets is the price, you get the 50ml fragrance, the body wash and lotion and gift box for the exact same price of the 50nl fragrance alone, which in this case is £56. Not at all bad.<br />

Recovering from a disabled sense of smell, particularly a sense of smell that has been distorted, can be a tricky business. And, as a writer with a particular interest in fragrance, it makes life even more complicated, because sometimes I find I either can't smell a particular ingredient in a fragrance at all, or another ingredient will set off a parosmic reaction, and then I can't smell anything else in the fragrance whatsoever. So writing perfume reviews is trickier for me than it ever was these days, as I can't always be sure that what I register as a smell is literally what I'm sniffing, or if it's just something that my smell-damaged brain is registering as a smell, in order to fill in some scented gaps. Stay with me, it'll make sense in a minute why I'm mentioning this in a minute, I promise.<br />
<br />
<b>YSL Black Opium</b> in particular is tricky for me, because the central ingredient in the fragrance - of whatever edition - is coffee. And it just so happens that one of my most troublesome smells is coffee. Back in the heady days before dysosmia struck, I loved the smell of coffee (I could take or leave drinking it though), its rich darkness and instantly recognisable savour was a delight. During the worst of my parosmic days though, just the smell of someone putting a cup of coffee on their desk would cause me a whole world of distorted horror, and I'd occasionally have to excuse myself to go puke in the loos before I could continue working. My reactions to coffee smells these days are much less dramatic however, and I can actually drink the occasional cup of coffee now, but I've discovered that I no longer register the smell of it. <br />
<br />
All of which is a very long way of explaining that I can't smell the <b>YSL Black Opium Eau de Parfum</b> edition at all. On paper, the fragrance might as well not exist, and on skin I just get a faint hit of celery, so if you want a "proper" review of the Eau de Parfum edition, this probably isn't the blog post for you. Sorry. However, I can smell the freshness inherent in the Eau de Toilette edition of <b>Black Opium</b> quite well, and it's rather lovely, but I lack the ability to smell the whole thing with the coffeeness added in. There's a fair bit of citrus up top, with some jasmine and musks and just a hint of orange blossom, which makes this a very easy wear, if not the most complicated fragrance you've ever tried.<br />
<br />
<b>Black Opium Nuit Blanche</b>, however, I find the most interesting of the three, opening as it does with creamy almond, almost marzipan-like top notes, making this more of a frothy cappuccino than the "espresso" of the original. There's some orange blossom there too, lending a silky greeness to the crreamy nuts, and there's a milky-caramel accord too. Altogether, this is far more gourmand than the other two, and it's probably the only one of the range that I'd consider wearing on a regular basis. Despite the lack of coffee, I like it, and I LOVE the bottles of the whole range.<br />
<br />
I do just wonder what they smell like to other people? It's a lonely life having a nose with brain-damage, you know.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Being a delicate soul at heart*, sonic cleansing brushes and I don't always get along. I used A N Other brand's "sonic" brush for a few months until I realised it was giving me chronic redness and broken veins than vowed no more. I've had a <b>Clinique Sonic System</b> for a while now, but in the house move a few months ago, the base unit charger and the handset had somehow become separated and neither has been seen in about six months as a result. Clinique kindly replaced my unit recently though, and I'm reminded that I do like this particular face cleansing brush a great deal.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Priced at £72, which whilst still pricey, but actually around half the price of A N Other brush, I find this simple to use, even with an oil-based cleanser rather than the "soap" Clinique recommend, and, with the Extra Gentle Cleansing Head (the white and grey brush on the unit above - the green and white brush head also pictured is the regular), this is a great addition to my skincare routine.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sonic brushes promise to make your face cleaner than any other cleansing system, and thereby make your skin more receptive to anything you apply to it after using the brush. Now, having sensitive skin, I must admit that I do not (and will not) use this on a daily basis, but I do use it two or three nights a week, usually on the nights that I am not using a retinol-based product. The brush heads have a dual-bristle function, the slightly shorter coloured bristles at the top are for areas that need a bit more cleansing "oomph", such as around the nose, and the chin, and you just tilt the brush slightly over those areas so the firmer bristles can get to work, and just tilt it back so the rest of your face gets a good, gentle clean too. The brush works in 30 second bursts, there's no awkward requirement of tricky button-press combinations to remember in order to get the cleanse you require, if you need longer, just press the button again ...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">An ideal Christmas gift for the sonic-brush virgin, or someone who needs a more thorough cleanse than a flannel can manage. Clinique have a number of Sonic System gift sets this year that come with some funky cases, I'm tempted to buy MrLippie one. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Confession time: I only own one bottle of Frederic Malle fragrance, and I've never reviewed it. As perfume writers go, I'm a terribly untimely one, I know. I shall review my (tiny) bottle of Bigarade Concentree one day, but in the mean time I'm having far too much fun reviewing the more peripheral products of the range, some of which are so lovely, they have made me gasp. Like these, the Shower Cream and Hair and Body Oil from the <b>Portrait of a Lady</b> line.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle's Portrait of a Lady</b> is not a fragrance I've overlooked in the past so much, as simply thought wasn't for me. Too sophisticated, too dark, too ... well, ladylike. <b>Lipstick Rose</b>, the bright and bubblegum-pink confection of rose and violet (smelling of nothing so much as a waxy lipstick from the fifties, or your grandmother's bowl of dusting powder on her dressing table) has always been, for me, the defining rose fragrance of the Frederic Malle range, and I've been caught huffing it in a slightly demented fashion by more than one Frederic Malle stockist in several countries. Why I've just never bought a bottle is beyond me, but I think I just love winding shop assistants up. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">ANYWAY, someone mentioned that there was a hair and body oil in the <b>Portrait of a Lady</b> range, and I thought that was a marvellous idea. <b>PoaL </b>is an oddity in that is a huge, dark and deep fragrance - a red and black rendering of rose, writ large in smoke and fire - but one that also remains remarkably close to the body, lacking the wide sillage you'd expect from the ingredients list. I thought an oil would be an excellent way to experience the fragrance again. I was surprised by the starkness of the bottle when it arrived, but as the Frederic Malle line is all about the contents, not the packaging of the fragrances, then I guess I shouldn't really have been. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The oil itself is light in texture yet deeply, headily, fragranced, delivering a story of darkest burgundy rose, set amongst a bouquet that also includes cinnamon, frankincense and deep resonant - yet surprisingly clean - patchouli. It's a scent that's at once velvety, smokey and (I find) somewhat leathery, a supple Spanish glove-leather, which is unlined, so you can experience both the sensual suede and smooth leather against your skin. It's beautiful. And yet, not as ladylike as I remember, I find myself wondering what it would smell like on my husband. I'll probably never know, as one look at the name, and he'll run a mile, which will be a shame for the both of us. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I applied some<b> Portrait of a Lady Body and Hair Oil</b> to my hands in lieu of handcream (it absorbs beautifully used so) in the office the other day, and the fragrance was commented on by everyone who came by my desk afterwards. It's not too fruity, not too floral, not too much anything, just Oriental-fragranced beauty from start to finish. It absorbs quickly, and leaves skin feeling deeply hydrated and beautifully moisturised, and of course, gorgeously scented. I had been planning to use it as a layering product, expecting it not to be that scented on on its own merits, but it's so satisfying to wear alone, I don't think I'll be bothering with using fragrance over it now. You can also apply it to the hair, I haven't tried that yet having just had a keratin treatment, and I'm awaiting washing that out, currently, but I can't deny that the idea of hair that smells of PoaL makes me swoon slightly. It's great on dry shins too, but the price point means I won't be using it for <i>that </i>too often ...</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">However, if you <i>do </i>want to layer your fragranced products, then there is also the hydrating Shower Cream, which is identically scented to the oil, and produces a rich and creamy lather in the shower without stripping the skin. It's heady stuff though (as is the oil), and you need very little to scent your skin gently for the whole day.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Perfect for Christmas presents, the Shower Cream retails at £40 for 200ml, and the (organic!) body and hair oil retails at £130. A big investment, possibly, but what price beauty? They're available from Selfridges, Les Senteurs, and Liberty.</span> </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm deeply half-hearted about aromatherapy, if I'm being completely honest. Okay, not aromatherapy itself (seriously, no one knows more about the effect of smell on well-being more than a recovering parosmic, believe me) per se, but some of the practitioners of it can be a little ... well, woo. I was trying to arrange a massage for the blog once, and I'd mentioned that I suffered from gallstones to the PR so it could be taken into account by the therapist, and the therapist took it upon herself to telephone me, and tell me my gallstones were actually "compressed anger" and I should relax a bit more and they'll disappear. Well, even though I did happen to take a few chill pills after that particular phone call (and if the stones weren't "compressed anger" beforehand, they sure as crap were after) I found only having my gall-bladder really did have any effect (and my single gallstone was actually an inch-long monster that could have caused some serious illness if left in situ), and that's my aromatherapy story. I never did get that massage ... </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anyhoo. That being said, I do love some aromatherapy products, not always because of the therapeutic claims for the oils used, but because in quite a few ranges there's a lot of care put into the formulations, and sometimes they just work in spite of everything. I must say that some of my favourite products do have aromatherapeutic benefits, but I firmly believe that a good product is a good product whether or not you have "faith" in the ingredients. <b>This Works Sleep Plus</b> is one of those ranges I was sceptical about trying beforehand, then I got over myself and gave it a go regardless, and now I love it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I started with the <b>Pillow Spray</b> back when it first launched - it turned up in a goody bag, I think, and liked it well enough, but then I lost my sense of smell and aromatherapy became a closed book for a few years, so I stopped using it. Despite a couple of therapists trying to convince me that aromatherapy works whether you can smell or not (I firmly, but politely, disagree. But then, I would), just the idea of any kind of scented product in my bed gave me the heebie jeebies. However, now my sense of smell is recovering, I'm slowly reintroducing (some) aromatherapy back into my life,and replaced my old bottle of Sleep plus. The Sleep Plus range is designed for people who have trouble staying asleep (Deep Sleep is the range for you if you have trouble getting to sleep in the first place) or are restless sleepers, which is usually my most regular sleep problem. Rare is the time I take more than 20 minutes to fall asleep, but early-waking is a particular problem for me. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The idea is that you mist a couple of sprays over your pillow, and the encapsulated essences of lavender, camomile and vetiver - it's a surprisingly zingy scent, and smells slightly gingery to my nose -will refresh themselves as you change sleeping positions, thereby helping you stay asleep. I genuinely do find that I sleep better when I use a couple of sprays of this, I may not always sleep longer, but I do find that I'm more refreshed after whatever sleep I do get. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've recently added the Sleep Plus Hair Elixir and Troubleshooter to my night-time routine - not every night, just those nights where I MUST sleep, or where sleep has been really bad for a couple of days beforehand - the hair elixir is essentially a spray containing the same ingredients as the pillow spray, with added emollients for the hair, and Troubleshooter is a soothing spray for dry skin patches such as elbows and knees, which will also aid sleep when you use it before bed. On the occasions where I've used all three products together, I've generally been asleep before my husband makes it out of the bathroom ...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">There's also shower gel and bath salts, but I find both bathing and showering too energising at bedtime, so I've not yet tried them. I do think the products are on the pricey side, the original Sleep Plus spray is around £25, but it does last a good long time if you don't use it nightly, and I have purchased it on several occasions now, and the other products are at the same price point. Use them sparingly, and you'll sleep well for months.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some of my favourite people wear Flowerbomb, but I will admit that up until recently, the appeal of the clean and sugary pink floral, which is incredibly aptly-named has passed me by somewhat. Never really having been a fan of sweet fragrances, Flowerbomb, one the most successful fragrance franchises in the UK wasn't really designed to appeal to me, someone who has always preferred something with a little bitterness at its heart*. I have always loved the gorgeous faceted grenade of a bottle though, it's both a fun illustration of the contents and a beautiful item in its own right.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Until now. Viktor and Rolf recently (unexpectedly) sent me their Christmas offerings for Flowerbomb, and I rather unexpectedly fell in love with one of the flanker items, the <b>Flowerbomb Dry Body Oil</b>. Not being of the dry-skinned persuasion, I've completely ignored the body lotion (which is actually lovely - but I use body lotion maybe once or twice a year, tops), but the oil really caught my eye, and my nose. Being an oil, the scent is rather less diffusive (and effusive) than the original spray EDT, and is rather quieter, and more sophisticated to wear as a result. The spray is fine, and gives a great misting effect, which disappears into the skin nicely. It leaves a nicely emollient layer behind which, whilst not greasy at all, makes a great layer for anchoring other fragrances, even Flowerbomb(!) onto.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo2-6GXBBtE92V1YTJ47vuPM0Mt4JB1MrV7V60dytLLrDjJS6c8cOfnZbdpSV9kia0a6gVn-Q9N26DPd1R0DkzD3auzugbMKsxm3FenKbSCg7g3v_aX62nPJxIXeIvt2YTY49vp1gng3qj/s1600/Viktor+and+Rolf+Flowerbomb+Collection+Get+Lippie+20161106+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo2-6GXBBtE92V1YTJ47vuPM0Mt4JB1MrV7V60dytLLrDjJS6c8cOfnZbdpSV9kia0a6gVn-Q9N26DPd1R0DkzD3auzugbMKsxm3FenKbSCg7g3v_aX62nPJxIXeIvt2YTY49vp1gng3qj/s640/Viktor+and+Rolf+Flowerbomb+Collection+Get+Lippie+20161106+%25283%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Moisturising without being greasy, sweet without being too sugary, and floral without being too screechy, the<b> Flowerbomb Dry Body Oil</b> is rather a handy product. At this time of year, my shins tend to get a bit scaly from the change in the weather, and this is stopping them getting too itchy, which is great. And hey! Who doesn't want beautifully scented shins? If you're dry-skinned, it might not be moisturising enough to wear on its own, but it will make a great layering product for scents. As it is rather gentler in fragrance than the original Flowerbomb, you can wear anything over it, and it'll just add a hint of floral sweetness to whatever you're wearing, whilst making it a little longer lasting. It's great under citrus-based colognes to give them a little oomph, I've found. Oh, and you can scent your hair with it, which is something I love doing. Because it's an oil, it's (largely) alcohol-free, so won't dry out your locks if you love scented hair.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">V&R didn't send me the press release, but I'm sure it'll be in-stores soon. A Flowerbomb for people who don't really respond to Flowerbomb? You could have knocked me over with a feather! Get some.</span> </span><br />
<br />
