As I scrape the very last remnants of cream from the bottom of the glass jar, I find myself missing Herbivore's Pink Cloud Rosewater Moisture Cream before it has even reached the recycling box. Unusual for me, because quite a lot of the time I'm in a rush to try the...
The one you've all (maybe) been waiting for - the house tour. OK, so it's not a room-by-room reveal of the whole place, MTV Cribs style, but it's as much of a house peek as you're probably going to get. You can always see bits and pieces of the inside of my home on...
Here's the classic red lip but with a new way to wear it. Which makes it the un-classic red lip, I suppose. It's soft and diffused, the edges are patted down and blurry - it's easier and more wearable than the traditional hard-edged, punchy red lip but still vibrant...
I seem to have developed quite a serious, potentially ruinous, shopping addiction. I can't stop buying things from the vintage/antique website Vinterior. To date, I've bought four lights, three mirrors, a chest of drawers, an old French shop display, an armoire the...
And so here it is, the Autumn Favourites video as promised. I'll now be doing my favourites videos seasonally, or with a theme - for example, "Haircare Favourites" or "Favourite Budget Bodycare". The seasonal favourites videos will be a light-hearted overview of the...
"Captain's log. Stardate 031118. I have been lost in cyberspace for over four hours and rescue seems unlikely. The wall lights I've been trying to buy for the stairs and landing have eluded me for almost an entire calendar year yet still I search for them, typing...
A new format for you; I've rolled the October monthly "favourites" and "most-used" into one mega-video to create - wait for it - October Beauty: What Really Worked? Now don't get me wrong, I love picking out the most exciting new launches and best old-school beauty...
Why can kids be so creepy? In particular small ones? And before you question the legitimacy of my inquiry or chastise me for being unkind about children, let me please draw your attention to the following creepy child specimens: Damien from The Omen, the twins from...
Not that I'm becoming an expert on earplugs or anything (I am) but I have discovered some foam ones with quite a useful feature. The official, technical term for this feature is "slow rebound" but to you and I, it's "foam that takes a while to bounce back". I realise...
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) After my latest video I had almost as many questions about the cardigan I was wearing as the skincare products I featured - something about the striped cuffs seemed to really get people...
A new video for you here, but as it's proved to be such a popular one already I'll give you a bit of an extended blurb. The Five Beauty Products that Changed My Skin has a slightly confusing title, I suppose, because it's more about the five "types" of product that...
After the best summer in living memory (for me, at least; those older have enjoyed banging on about the summer of '76 which was, of course, hotter, longer and tougher) we find ourselves hurtling into autumn. The leaves are starting to fall, the nights are drawing in...
