I've gone a bit blusher mad recently. I don't know whether it's just because I've done the whole "subtle bit of bronzer under the cheekbones" thing for so long and I fancied a change, or that my pregnancy hormones are sending me a bit off-piste with everything. Either...
A completely frivolous and unnecessary beauty stash addition, but I love it nonetheless: Ciaté's Dark Choc Pot Nail Polish Remover. Works in exactly the same way as the Bourjois Magic one (see here for that review); you just stick your fingernail into the pot and the...
I've been working for Burberry* for the past couple of days, following the behind-the-scenes "journey" of the makeup look for the AW15 show. You'll notice, if you scan back through previous Fashion Week posts, that it's the Burberry show that always grabs my...
I mentioned this tinted balm right at the end of last week's "What's In My Makeup Bag" video but have used it so much that I thought it deserved a proper post. I hadn't tried a Dior Rouge Balm (or Baume!) before this one - where on earth have I been? I've looked...
The beauty world, as you will have realised by now, has gone contouring crazy. I mentioned in my previous post that my preferred contour method, for a really soft and subtle look, was simply a sweep of matte bronzing powder beneath the cheekbones. None of that "snail...
I mentioned in last weekend's Chanel Spring 2015 post that I'd come back to you with my verdict on the Rouge Allure Gloss and it's a definite yes from me. I'm not a habitual gloss-user; they get on my nerves because even the relatively unsticky types make me feel...
I did a little contouring kit comparison over on my Telegraph "hub"; Clinique Chubby Contour sticks vs the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate. Tom Ford's "S&I" was one of the first contouring products that I remember seeing on a cosmetics counter; now the world is...
The three lip products above look almost identical in tone, don't they? When I was trawling through my still life photos (I tend to do a huge batch all at once, at the beginning of the month) this picture really caught my eye - strange to have such similar shades in a...
Just a bit of fun; I was tagged in the "five minute makeup challenge" by fellow beauty Youtuber, Marnie Goldberg, and decided to accept. I have never done one of these "tag" videos before, usually because they involve tasting weird foods or getting your boyfriend to...
Something new and incredibly convenient, if you like a quick and easy "brush on glow"; Bobbi Brown's Brightening Bricks. They're rather like a blusher blended with a subtle illuminator, blended with just enough bronzer (in some of the shade combos, at least) to stop...
OK look, I know that it's not quite there in terms of coolness and luxe-appeal, but if you were badly craving the Christian Louboutin nail polish and couldn't justify the £36 splurge, then I do rather like the lacquer from the Joan Collins Timeless Beauty range. I...
Matte lipsticks seem to be getting better and better; softer, more moisturising formulas with great longevity and vibrant, non-chalky colours. I love the edgy, modern look that a matte lipstick gives but I hate having dry lips so any kind of scientific advance in this...
