New on the Chic and Sleek Makeup Scene: Delilah Cosmetics

A new makeup brand that could prove to be rather irresistible; Delilah Cosmetics. Chic, heavy packaging, wearable, flattering shades and beautiful textures that sit lightly on the skin but that still manage to do a brilliant job of enhancing features and adding the...

My Current (Very Simple) Hair and Makeup Routine…

My Current (Very Simple) Hair and Makeup Routine…

Now and then I like to do one of these "current makeup" videos just to demonstrate some of the products that I've been using the most. If a product has been used daily for weeks on end then (for me, at least) it must be pretty good and it's worth having a bit of a...

Wicked Waves for Half the Price…

Wicked Waves for Half the Price…

Many of you (kindly) commented on how nice my hair and makeup looked in my latest video (click here if you haven't watched it yet) and so I thought I'd do a little run-down on what I used. To wave my hair, the amazing Wicked Waver from Mark Hill, which looks like some...

What’s In My Fantasy Christmas Handbag?

What’s In My Fantasy Christmas Handbag?

There are so many beautiful makeup morsels out there at the moment, so I've done a bit of a "Fantasy Christmas" roundup. Obviously if this was actually the contents of my handbag I'd be a bit stuck - no keys, no money, no phone - but at least I'd look presentable! The...

Review: Chanel’s Vitalumière Loose Powder Foundation

Review: Chanel’s Vitalumière Loose Powder Foundation

I'm back with another Beauty Reviews video after a little bit of a gap. I really enjoy making these -  capturing my reaction to new products when I use them for the first time, watching on the little camera screen as the makeup works its magic (or not!) on my face....

Bobbi Brown: Scotch on the Rocks

Bobbi Brown: Scotch on the Rocks

This weekend I spent an inordinate amount of time playing about with Bobbi Brown's Scotch on the Rocks makeup collection. It's absolutely delectable. Warm, shimmery tones that make you think of candlelight and sparkling champagne; rich shades...

Beauty Worth Waiting For…

Beauty Worth Waiting For…

Two lovely beauty things that have caught my eye, and they both have waiting lists before they've even hit the shelves for the first time. How do you feel about waiting lists for special edition makeup items? Are you are complete makeup obsessive who simply has to...

How to Cover Dark Circles

How to Cover Dark Circles

As promised, a video dedicated to undereye circles and ways of disguising them. My dark circles are ridiculous today - so much so that I'm almost regretting filming the makeup video when I did, at the end of last week. It would have all looked so much more dramatic if...

Contouring Mishaps and a Foolproof Fix…

Contouring Mishaps and a Foolproof Fix…

I want to talk about contouring in greater detail soon; there seems to have been this crazy fad for it and I'm not sure that everyone has been embracing the trend with quite the caution and trepidation that they should have been. There's a reason why it's a relatively...

Best Undereye Concealers for Dark Circles

Best Undereye Concealers for Dark Circles

This has been a pet project of mine for the past few years; finding very high coverage concealers that will fade out dark circles without making them grey and ashy. I have tried - quite literally - hundreds, and though there are dozens of them that work well, I've...

An Indulgent Autumn Makeup Look

An Indulgent Autumn Makeup Look

I was tinkering about with some gorgeous Tom Ford makeup over the weekend, experimenting with a few products that I want to include in upcoming videos. I loved the autumnal feel of the photograph above; warm, slightly tawny and beautifully glowing. The skin is less...
