The Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer from Clinique has seen some love here on the blog before, but it's never had its own standalone review. So here we are - if you, like me, were disappointed with the new Superbalanced Silk Makeup (full review here) then...
I was once fitted for a head-to-toe latex suit in a fetish shop. I was to play a superhero in a TV advert (sadly it never happened because I got the flu, if I remember rightly) and I needed to be rubberised - everything from the neck down - for my superhero costume....
I've been using these extra-special cleansers on rotation, recently, as a bit of a winter kick-start for my skin but also as a proper "time out" sort of treat. They're not cleansers in the traditional sense, you see - you wouldn't use them to remove your makeup and...
Right. This is always the tricky one, isn't it? Presents for the man/men in your life. It doesn't matter whether it's your Dad, boyfriend or brother, the things that are regularly paraded in front of us as suitable Christmas offerings are just so...drab! I've tried to...
I've developed a potentially dangerous habit: snacking whilst Netflix-ing. I say "snacking" as though there's a whole variety of snacks that I choose from, but - though I eat pretty healthily throughout the day - my evening snack is limited to one particular thing....
Get it before it goes: I absolutely adore this little hat-and-mittens set from Sainsbury's, with its Liberty-esque floral print and soft furry fabric. Seven quid. Look at Angelica's face: Full happy with that hat. She does try to take it off, a lot, but it's quite a...
I hate the word "haul" but I'm not sure what else to call this video other than "Ruth shows you the mountain of baby clothes that has been accumulating in the corner of the room". Do enjoy - there are some real gems here, including the Liberty-esque-print hat and...
I have a strong and long-lasting love for Lanolips. It's a high-powered lip-healer that stays put for hours and protects the skin from even the most bitter winter chills. If you've ever had cracked nipples, the bleeding sort of chapped nipples that are so painful you...
My love-in with the cushion foundations continues: I'm still using the Lancome (reviewed here) but when such a heavy coverage isn't required, it's on with YSL's new Fusion Ink. Actually, Fusion Ink isn't new at all (I video reviewed it here almost exactly two years...
I put a new vlog up on Sunday - I managed to squish my entire working week ("working" in the loosest sense of the word, because I spent quite a lot of time shopping and napping) into seventeen minutes. It skims over the boring stuff and brings you the highlights,...
Oh I'm having a right old quandary at the moment. This VBAC vs Planned C-Section business. It's getting near to the time when I have to decide how I want to give birth and all of the powers that be (namely whoever I see for my ante-natal appointments) won't stop...
The Weekly Window Shop is being temporarily replaced with the Weekly Christmas Shop - there'll be something festive each week to get you started with your shopping or give you a few handy ideas. Call it a gift guide, call it present p*rn: just know I have it all...
