This week, we've got a guest post from Katie Innnes. I'm a big fan of gimmicks when it comes to my make-up. I’m aware this doesn’t make me the grown-up beauty expert I’d like to be, mainly because I won’t buy something unless it comes in pretty packaging or has an idea behind it which is so … [Read more...]
Cloud Nine hair straighteners
It's probably quite clear by now from our recent post that Dork Adore is firmly a collection of GHD devotees. Personally I've tried out a few other types of hair straighteners, including the wet-to-dry ones and the cheaper ones, but I always come back to GHD.

Still, once you've broken the seal … [Read more...]

Having experienced the special joy of adult onset acne, a miracle cure for spots is something I'd be happy to pay for - especially considering the amount I've spent over the years on pots of nonsense and magic oils. The Zeno zit zapper works by heating up the spot to kill the bacteria underneath … [Read more...]
DIY Manicures: UV Lamps and Bio gels
I've long been a sucker for a nice relaxing facial, even though I wish the therapists would stop promising that if I buy their particular brand of voodoo cream my face will become 20% more beautiful (and that if I don't spend £90 on the eco-friendly oil they've had shipped over from Australia I'm … [Read more...]
