Some beautiful little makeup treasures for you today; I've given all of these a good old test and they are all gorgeous! I often steer clear of palettes because there are always shades included that seem to have no logical purpose. Bright purple eyeshadows and magenta...
What is this "sleeps" business? When did we, as adults, start saying "sleeps" instead of "days"? I can't bear it! I'm banning it from my life and if I hear anyone say it I am going to put my fingers in my ears and go "NAHAHAHAHAHAHNAAAA" like a fire engine whilst...
Yes, the annual candle video is here again. Flame-flickering, wick-smouldering, wax-dripping pornography for those who want their home fragrances hot. (WHERE THE HELL DID THAT JUST COME FROM? You can tell it's nearly the end of the year, can't you?) I love making the...
I have to say: haircare does not make the ideal Christmas present. There's something distinctly unglamorous about even the most lush and effective hair products - I suppose it's just hard to package them up in a sexy way! I have, however, done a little rummaging...
Oh yes, oh yes. I am busy scheduling posts for the next three weeks so that I can turn off my computer, cover it with a dust sheet and not switch it back on until mid-January. I will be checking in, of course, on my iPad and making sure that everyone's OK and not...
Don't be scared - we're not about to embark on a techy-talk here, it's just my run-down of the brilliant gadgetry that has landed at AMR HQ this year. A couple of the gadgets (Babyliss Big Hair and the Kindle) are pre-2012, but no matter; they're the ones that are...
I'm often a little wary of travel brushes; some of the applicators in the mini sets are fiddly and too small to be of any real use. Not so, thankfully, with the Laura Mercier brushes in her Deluxe Travel Brush Collection. The quality is just perfect and really, the...
There's not a Sunday Tittle Tattle every week, but there must have been a fair few this year. I think that it's definitely here to stay! It's quite useful for me to be able to relay little chunks of info and ponderings that I wouldn't otherwise find space to include -...
Much to the annoyance of the man next to me, I did a full face of makeup on my way from London Euston to Birmingham International on the Virgin Pendolino service. I didn't feel bad, because this man had the most infuriating way of breathing I have ever encountered. It...
Just a little cathartic post about drinking Green Tea and then going online. It seems (and I have now done pretty extensive research upon my own person) that if one drinks Green Tea and then fires up the computer, the chances of spending lots of money are increased by...
**UPDATED 13:00 on 19th December 2012: and the winner is..... Sophie Jane (Smith?!) email smith.sophiejane@xxxx. Well done, I am actually quite jealous! And we shall have to have another Alpha-H giveaway, I think, as this one was crazily popular!** Oh, be still my...
A favourites video with a difference this month: say hello to my Mum! Some of you may know her already from her blog, My Mum Says - if you haven't read it then do have a little look, I'll pop the link underneath the video pane. My Mum is almost as obsessed with lovely...
