Foundation Review: Chanel Sublimage Le Teint

Foundation Review: Chanel Sublimage Le Teint

This was never going to be an easy foundation to test. The price tag (£98) attached to Chanel's new Sublimage Le Teint is just impossible to ignore. Usually, when I'm in the trial stages of preparing a beauty review, I try to forget the price and just see the results...

Ten Under £10: Glowing Makeup for NYE

Ten Under £10: Glowing Makeup for NYE

Well I do hope that you're all having a lovely little break? I'm afraid I'm doing a bit of a fast-forward to the future (albeit near future) and talking about the New Year - or New Year's Eve to be more specific - and some glitzy, shiny makeup that'll get you in the...

Wunderbrow – Perfect Low-Maintenance Brows

Wunderbrow – Perfect Low-Maintenance Brows

You've heard me say enough times that I simply can't be bothered with high-maintenance eyebrows; to be quite honest, I don't even like the look of high-maintenance, perfectly-shaped eyebrows. Not on myself, at least. So I'll be damned if I'm going to spend half an...

Foundation Review: Topshop Air Cushion

Foundation Review: Topshop Air Cushion

Oooh, I'm finding this one a right little devil to review! The Air Cushion Skin Perfector from Topshop is another cushion foundation (product-soaked sponge inside a compact, for those not in the know with this particular trend) but I'm flailing around a bit when it...

Lips: Why You Should Be Going For Gold…

Lips: Why You Should Be Going For Gold…

Time to dig out that shimmery, foil-flecked lipstick you bought back in - er - 1991, because gold is in! And not just because the holiday season looms ever-closer (Christmas always brings a landslide of glittery cosmetic items) but because the rich warmth of the gold...

My Top Winter Makeup Palettes…

My Top Winter Makeup Palettes…

My top winter palettes, on video for your viewing pleasure; perfect picks if you like to treat yourself to a little glitzy makeup number before the party season. Or, y'know, at a push, give people presents, but I do feel that these are too nice to earmark as gifts!...

Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer Review

Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer Review

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...

Chanel’s Pink Rubber Nails: Pretty Fetishistic

Chanel’s Pink Rubber Nails: Pretty Fetishistic

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....

YSL Fusion Ink Cushion Foundation Review

YSL Fusion Ink Cushion Foundation Review

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...

My Autumn Makeup Look

My Autumn Makeup Look

I've been going a bit russety around the eyes for this year's Autumn Makeup Look. (I say this year's look as though I do a different look every year, but as we all know, all of my "looks" tend to be a subtle variation on "natural" or "smokey eye"!) I always...

Clinique Superbalanced Foundation Review

Clinique Superbalanced Foundation Review

Goodness, I've really tried with this foundation, but this review is, I should warn you, something of a mixed bag. I've seen so many glowing reviews of Clinique's Superbalanced Makeup online and so, when I first "dug in" (literally, see below for full explanation) I...
