Oh my God, behave! This mascara from Guerlain is almost too sexy to be legal! I'm a long-term Guerlain Maxi Lash fanatic, so this new version was bound to tickle my fancy, but still: even I was taken aback at just how gorgeous the packaging was. (If you need...
Beauty Reviews: Lancome Air de Teint, Clinique Feathering Mascara, Guerlain Maxi Lash
Another bunch of beauty reviews for you; this time I'm "live testing" Lancome's new Miracle Air de Teint foundation, Clinique's new Feathering mascara and a second mascara, a violet-hued Maxi Lash version from Guerlain. The response to these videos seems to be very...
Guerlain Maxi Lash Mascara Review
I was positive that I'd already reviewed this mascara but it seems not - I've included it in lots of videos, but no individual page. So here we are. The Guerlain Maxi Lash Mascara, a proper little surprise of a product. From the sleek, expensive-looking packaging (and...
The High Street Mascara with High-End Performance
Last week I wrote about my non-surgical eye lift revelation which was, probably to many people's disappointment, simply the power of a good mascara. No trickery, no miracle-promising skincare ingredients, just simple lash definition and a bit of lift at the roots to...
Clarins Supra Volume: The Best Brown Mascara?
I'm partial to a bit of brown mascara for daytime makeup looks; often jet-black can look a little bold and stark, especially if I'm trying to keep things low-key. There's nothing wrong with bold, of course, and if you want your lashes to properly stand out then black...
My Filming Equipment, Moka Mascara and some Crazy Animal Close-Ups…
1) I have a new background for shooting my makeup videos against; a chic, blue-ish mid-grey. This will be of limited interest to most of you, but a few people asked on Instagram for details - it's a Lastolite background and you can get them from photography shops....
Beauty Reviews: New Foundation, Amazing Concealer and Miss Manga Mascara
Another week another set of beauty reviews. The Chanel Foundation was reviewed in slightly more depth yesterday, which leave the Amazing Cosmetics concealer and the Miss Manga mascara from L'Oreal. Amazing Cosmetics is a brave old name, isn't it? A bit like This...
Top Marks for Clarins ‘Be Long’ Mascara…
This mascara from Clarins is fast moving up my favourites list. Partly, perhaps, because it has a very good short and sturdy wand that I find it very easy to use, but mostly because it gives unbelievable length and separation to the lashes after one quick coat. I've...
Autumn Treats: Guerlain’s Ecrin 2 Couleurs Palette
Oh my, oh my, oh my, Will you just feast your eyes on this little number? Covetable, chic and almost too posh to use. This is Guerlain's new Ecrin 2 Couleurs and the colourway is called Two Spicy. I'll start with a disclaimer on this one, though; colour pay-off on...
My Essentials for the Perfect Makeup Base
I thought that I'd share with you my current foundation "routine". Obviously it varies a little from time to time; I adapt it to suit the weather, how my skin's looking and the products that I want to test out, but this is the general gist of it. I've used a radiance...
How to Cheat Healthy Glowing Skin!
A voiceover video for you because I can't yet talk for more than two minutes without breaking out into the most unladylike, honking cough. It's actually surprisingly difficult, when making videos, to get all of the different elements to come together without error; to...
What’s In My Makeup Bag? Autumn 2020
I'm sorry, but the part of me that likes things to be in order has to post this video despite it being a whole season old. (Admittedly it's only a very tiny - tiny - part of me that likes things in order, because mostly I live in chaos, like one of those long-bearded...
