Another week another set of beauty reviews. The Chanel Foundation was reviewed in slightly more depth yesterday, which leave the Amazing Cosmetics concealer and the Miss Manga mascara from L'Oreal. Amazing Cosmetics is a brave old name, isn't it? A bit like This...
A much-requested foundation review; Chanel's Perfection Lumiere Velvet. This is Chanel's newest foundation release and I must say that it has instantly won me over. It's one of those products that requires very little in the way of effort; it just works every time,...
Nice little flash offer for you; in celebration of the fact that Lancome's amazing Hypnose mascara is 10 years old, you can grab any version of it for £10 instead of the usual £22.50 (here). Permanent products such as these are almost never reduced in price, so it's a...
More Beauty Reviews for you; this time it's Aerin's "Kaleidolight" palette, Max Factor's Colour Correcting sticks and the Nude Lingerie eyeshadow quad from L'Oreal. (OK, so the eyeshadow palette you've already seen. I posted it up a couple of days ago (here) - a silly...
I'm really impressed with this little eyeshadow quad from l'Oreal. I snapped it up on FeelUnique.com (here) a few weeks ago - it was £6.79! - and it has made it's way into my everyday makeup bag. Partly because it's so small and light, but also because the shade...
I was editing some film yesterday and came across a couple of photos that I thought may be of interest to some of you. When I'm filming videos, I take a still photograph before each segment to autofocus the camera, and two of the stills from last week's Beauty...
This is the smokey eye look that I wore to the Empire Film Awards a couple of weeks ago. I was lucky enough to have been invited by Max Factor, who were sponsoring the awards for Best Actress and Best Female Newcomer, and they very kindly asked me whether I'd like my...
Another bunch of beauty reviews for you; this time I'm "live testing" Lancome's new Miracle Air de Teint foundation, Clinique's new Feathering mascara and a second mascara, a violet-hued Maxi Lash version from Guerlain. The response to these videos seems to be very...
The second instalment of my "beauty reviews" - I do hope that this will become a regular feature. It's useful, I think, to see products being applied - obviously you can't feel the texture yourself, but you get a good idea of how a foundation blends, or how pigmented...
Vichy Dermablend's award-winning corrective makeup just got a whole lot sleeker. The slightly clinical-looking packaging has gone, replaced by black lacquered casing, and my favourite product, the Corrective Stick (formerly the Cream Stick) is now a slimmer shape and...
There were a few cooing noises made over the Charlotte Tilbury lipstick that was pictured in Sunday's Tittle Tattle post: the shade name is Nude Kate and it is most worthy of being cooed over! This is a rich and velvety nude, not a wishy-washy neutral; there's no...
First ultra-bright lipstick test of the year: Soaked from Illamasqua's Glamore collection. Illamasqua do the most ridiculously pigmented lipsticks; I've had quite a job getting this one to come off. It's like car paint. You'll have to excuse-moi my dark circles in the...
