After mentally compiling a "best of 2015" list but then completely forgetting to actually write up a post, I thought that I might work my way through and do some standalone reviews. At any rate, the Creme Puff Blush from Max Factor deserves its own page here on A...
New Flawless Foundations: Which One’s Right For You?
For regular readers, this video is just something a bit extra; I'll be doing far more in-depth reviews of the foundations shown on the video here on the website. You know how I like to keep you all in the Youtube loop! See all recent videos... There are quite a few...
Hyaluronic Hydra-Balm: Get On My Lips
By Terry's Hyaluronic Sheer Nude Hydra-Balm: get on my lips! I've been waiting for something like this for months; juicy, plumptious and peachy, sheer enough to be absolutely foolproof to apply, but with just about enough colour to make the whole thing a worthwhile...
Optimistic Makeup Wearing: The Dior Spring Look
Oh, I know we're still in the depths of winter (for people in the UK winter seems to have actually only just started) but there's nothing wrong with a bit of optimistic, forward-looking makeup wearing. Dior's 2016 Spring Look - Glowing Gardens - is actually just as...
Foundation Review: Effaclar BB Blur
I think you'll agree that the below "before and after" photographs are pretty epic: no light or computer trickery has been used. (I don't ever retouch my images, by the way - or Facetune or whatever people use to whiten their teeth and get rid of wrinkles and...
The Only Glitter Polish I Can Deal With…
Finally, glittery nail polishes I can actually wear! I usually shun glitter because taking it off is one of the worst, most thankless beauty tasks ever invented. I would honestly rather go to the dentist than remove glitter polish. I'd rather wash up the trays and...
The Genius Brush That Will Change Your Smokey Eye Forever!
Right. I've been testing out this little smokey eye technique over and over again to make sure that it is absolutely fool-proof. And I'm pretty sure that it is - quick, easy and doesn't require a load of different products. All you need is some soft eyeliner and one...
A Quick and Easy Nude Makeup Tutorial
A very quick and easy nude makeup tutorial - perfect if you want something smart and polished for the daytime but at the same time like to keep things pretty understated. It's a touch more makeup than I'd usually wear in the day, but I just fancied a change this week...
All The Cheek You’ll Ever Need…
Some more "portable art" for you (see here for the first instalment): the limited edition NARS and Steven Klein collaboration. Brilliant NARS makeup on the inside, edgy photography on the out. I'll be completely frank: if you want to go for one thing, go for the One...
Dolce & Gabbana’s Beauty Voyage Palette: No Kermit Green Here
Everything about this Dolce & Gabbana Beauty Voyage makeup palette is just so spot on - even the outer box it's packaged in is gorgeous and eyecatching. I'm possibly biased, because I'm very partial to a bit of animal print, but it definitely stands out from...
Chanel Infiniment Illuminating Powder
Another one for fans of the "my skin looks loads better but I'm not sure how or why" powders. Many see these brush-on complexion enhancers as being a bit pointless, but I, for one, can definitely see the difference when I use my Les Beiges or Hourglass Ambient...
Glowing Face Powders and the NARS Steven Klein Palette
I'll be back with more shade details on the new Steven Klein/NARS collaboration when it comes out in a week or so - it's very, very covetable. Though I seem to be a sucker for things featuring the work of great fashion photographers - must be something to do with my...
