A surprise entry into my "favourite SPFs" category: the new Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30 from Elemis. I'm a bit dithery about the original Marine Cream; I like the silky, fast-absorbing feel, but at the same time it doesn't have quite the moisturising "oomph" that...
My last post (for now!) on fair/foolproof/hint-of-sun bronzers. I realise that I'm at the risk of boring to tears anyone who doesn't need, want or suit them, but at the same time I've been trying to work systematically through my beauty backlog and Subtle...
I've really started to get into podcasts. I know that I'm at the risk of being late to every single party going at the moment (first lip liner, now podcasts, next I'll be raving about, I don't know, MySpace or something) but I like to tell people about my discoveries...
A while ago (it may have been last year, or even the year before that), I mentioned that I had been comparing recent and old photographs of myself and trying - in a highly scientific and objective manner - to identify which changes to my face were the most ageing....
Fans of La Roche-Posay's Effaclar Duo rejoice: they have released a new version of their highly effective spot treatment, this time with an added SPF. Effaclar Duo+ SPF30 has the same basic formula as the original, helping to minimise the size and appearance of spots...
Benefit have launched a new version of their hugely popular Hoola bronzer: Hoola Lite. This is the first time that they've properly strayed away from their bestselling bronzer shade, offering up a slightly lighter alternative for those with fairer skin. Or, I suppose,...
*UPDATE: the winner of this giveaway has been announced (as promised!) on the Nomi social media platforms. Their Facebook page is here. Well this is rather good news: I have an amazing Nomi Highchair to give away to one UK reader! You'll remember from my Nomi review...
Why oh why do I look so bloody moody when I'm filming videos? I had always been under the impression that I had a rather cheery face - you know, a bit wholesome and healthy, friendly, the sort of face that might break into a companionable grin at the merest hint of a...
I'll start by saying that this isn't a post about potential causes of manic crying episodes in newborn babies - I honestly don't have a clue what sets them off and, on a more serious note, if you think that there's actually something wrong with them then always seek...
Another foundation review for you. (Ambassador, you're really spoiling us, etc.) It's actually two foundation reviews in one; the Coverage Foundation and the Serum Foundation, both from Deciem brand The Ordinary. The Ordinary launched last year to a hugely positive...
I've been testing out Armani's Power Fabric foundation - very thoroughly, as it happens, because I've been trying to film quite a bit of content for Youtube and so I've needed a fuller base. As you know, I'm not the greatest lover of high coverage, longwear...
Sometimes, as I write these updates, I think to myself my kids are going to absolutely hate me when they're older, for sharing these things! But you've got to hate your parents for something, so here we go: Angelica did her first poo on the potty yesterday! To be...
