1) Thank you ever so much to all of the lovely ladies who stopped by to see me last week, both at the Liberty London event and the Charlotte Tilbury counter launch at Selfridges in Birmingham. I can’t tell you how brilliant it is to be able to put faces to names and get to…
I am away on a secret international tour of mystery. In my absence, the cat and dog are taking care of business. You can ask them any questions or tap them up for grooming advice over on Instagram. Sorry about the Celebrities with Expressions like my Cat feature – it was due to start yesterday, but I…
1) So…the healthy eating kick is going incredibly well. Not. It started off with Easter and about three thousand kilos of dark chocolate truffles and it has come to something of a climax with a tray of INCREDIBLE cup-cakes that my friend Lucy brought round on Friday night. Now I’m not usually a cup-cake fanatic, but these…
1) Apologies to those who entered the Cult Beauty giveaway and were expecting their code; there was a slight delay. I think that the official emails will come from Cult Beauty next week, but if you can’t wait that long then the code for the 10% discount is TREAT10. The website is here. The winner of…
1) Happy Easter! I hope that you’re all having a wonderful long weekend? If you are in London and looking for something to occupy an hour or two, then do pop down to the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the Barbican. I went last week and it was great – very colourful and bizarre, as is only…
1) Bargain buy of the week? A(nother) pair of Cecilia pumps from Office. They were in the sale and it would have been rude not to – my first two pairs of Cecilia ballerinas are so comfy and I wear them all the time, they have been excellent value for money. The new ones are slightly different to my…
1) This week saw me sustain what must be the first cheese-related injury in history. No joke! I took the dog to dog-training and cut my thumb open on a piece of Manchego! You may ask what I was doing thumbing about with a piece of Manchego in dog-training, well: you have to take “highly…
1) I’ve just returned from Paris. Nothing new or particularly notable there, as I am often in Paris, but this time I managed to find a spare hour and nip to City Pharma, the packed-to-the-rafters-with-skincare-gems pharmacy that is frequented by those in the know. It was RAMMED in there. It had a SECURITY GUARD on the…
1) I don’t know how this fact has escaped me, being the relentless online shopper that I am: Net-a-Porter have a beauty section! Brands include the amazing Charlotte Tilbury, By Terry, and the most recent addition, Burberry. I have to admit to being rather worried about this new discovery; Net-a-Porter and I already have a…
1) I have just done the mother of all FeelUnique orders. I went a bit overboard, if truth be known, but…all in the name of research. (Obviously I needed a Dior nail polish remover and it would have been rude not to try a “budget alternative” at the same time, wouldn’t it?) Interestingly, though, (or perhaps not,…
1) Newly launched bodycare brand Mio is definitely one to put on your “must try” list. Some of the products in their line-up might already sound familiar to you – the Boob Tube bust firming treatment and Shrink to Fit cellulite cream are little gems that I’ve mentioned before – but you may have known them as part of the Mama Mio brand,…
1) Thank you for your marvellous suggestions on yesterday’s “Celebrities who have hair like my Dog” post. Meg Ryan is already in the planned line-up and there are also a couple of quite brilliant surprise suggestions from Mr AMR; hopefully I’ll be able to squeeze about ten or maybe even fifteen posts out of this…
1) Advice needed: I have filmed a video of the makeup that I wore to the Brit Awards last week, but I’m not sure whether or not the eyes are too “winged”. It took so long to film it and I would hate to scrap the whole thing, but I keep staring at the video and something…
1) Weird postage issues (ie: me being in Paris half the time) have meant that I completely missed Clinique’s letter about their Kiss It Better campaign. They’ve supported this cause for a few years now, raising money for research into childhood cancers, and this year they teamed up with Lulu Guiness to produce gorgeous lip purses with…
1) Excuse my French (and you must, for I am in fact in France!) but how the hell did it suddenly become a third of the way through February? I am heading for a serious “where does the time go?” internal meltdown. It’s hard to do this mindfulness, living for the moment typed thing when one minute it’s Christmas…
1) Thank you so much to everyone who came down to the makeup meet-up at Charlotte Tilbury’s counter in Selfridges. It was lovely to have such a good turn-out and I really appreciate so many of you taking the time to come and say hello. I was really very touched! There seemed to be quite…
1) This week I wrote about the “exfoliant that keeps on giving”: the Dermaflannel. To see the full write-up, click it open in a new window here, but if you’ve already seen it and had your interest piqued, then listen: Bravura have reduced the price of the cloth to £7.99 for this weekend only. I…
1) Whoo! Where to start this week, where to start? Well. Youtube and my 200,000 Subscriber milestone would be a good place, I think – I can’t quite believe it! I still remember, very clearly, the feeling of sheer delight when I had 1,000 subscribers… If you missed yesterday’s post then do flick back and…
