Kittens Riding Unicorns…

Ah, you can't fail to have a good day when you're wearing a load of kittens riding around on unicorns. I bought this dress last year from Silken Favours and (in true Crilly style) saved it for a special occasion, tags still on, in the "forgotten" section of my...

l’Oreal Infallible 24H-Matte Foundation Review

l’Oreal Infallible 24H-Matte Foundation Review

Well this is a nifty little number: a non-cakey, long-lasting, matte-but-not-flat foundation that comes in at less than seven quid. I don't usually get on with a lot of the cheaper foundations, but the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Matte applied and blended beautifully on...

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation Review

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation Review

I promised some standalone review posts on the foundations mentioned in last week's video and here's the first: Laura Mercier's Silk Creme Photo Edition Moisturizing Foundation. It's absolutely gorgeous - reminds me a little bit of By Terry's Sheer Expert, in that...

Some Great New Foundations and Skin Enhancers…

I'll be writing up full posts on most of the products shown in the following video; I have loads of before-and-after pics to show you and I don't want to cram them all onto one page! There are some absolute crackers that I've discovered recently - new foundations that...

Healthy Glow Makeup: Guerlain’s Joli Teint Powder

Healthy Glow Makeup: Guerlain’s Joli Teint Powder

There are two ways of looking at Guerlain's "Terracotta Joli Teint Healthy Glow Powder Duo" (longest product name in the world, and breathe): either it's a finishing powder that you sweep over your skin to warm it up and add that final layer of faked "rude health", or...

Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color: Finding the Perfect Nude

Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color: Finding the Perfect Nude

My search for the perfect nude lipstick continues. And when I say nude, I mean the kind of shade that almost blanks out the lips, not that "my lips but better" kind of shade that's a pale, caramel-beige neutral. "My lips but better" shades are easy to find - there's...

Two Bronzed and Glowing Natural Makeup Looks…

Thank you so much to those who commented on my makeup in the Chanel Rouge Coco photographs; it's actually part of a look that I was filming for an upcoming Max Factor video! To give you a sneaky preview of what I had on my skin; I buffed in the Skin Luminizer...

Chanel Rouge Coco: The New Lipstick

Chanel Rouge Coco: The New Lipstick

I did an absolutely mammoth lipstick-trying-on session last week; I was seduced so completely by the new Chanel Rouge Coco launch that I spent a good few hours playing about with the different shades. They are just beautiful. Silky-smooth colour with a plumpy, buttery...

Cyber Peach Lipstick, Take Two!

Cyber Peach Lipstick, Take Two!

Another bright, peachy lipstick for those of you who are looking for something pretty but borderline-neon for the spring. Last week I discovered Devon Sunset from Burberry; this week's "cyber peach" is from a cosmetics brand called LOLA - you can find them at Marks...

Burberry Kisses Lipstick Review

Burberry Kisses Lipstick Review

Caroline Hirons came over to film with me yesterday and I appropriated a lipstick from her stash. (We were filming new launches, she had gone lipstick crazy.) Behold the Burberry Kisses lipstick in Devon Sunset; a luminous peachy shade that looks almost neon in...

Foundation Reviews: The Newest Launches

Foundation Reviews: The Newest Launches

I reviewed four of the newest foundation launches for The Telegraph last week; I've popped a link to the full video below so that you can see the face bases in action. Foundation reviews are quite tricky to do, because so much depends on skin type, tone and personal...

Burberry Makeup Review: It’s All About That Base

Burberry Makeup Review: It’s All About That Base

Last week I did a Burberry makeup tutorial, recreating the AW15 show look and revealing a couple of handy smokey eye tricks that their makeup artist, Wendy Rowe, had demonstrated. It actually gave me a good opportunity to really have a proper play around with some of...
