A short and sweet little roundup of my quick makeup updates for Autumn. Generally, things in my makeup bag just get a little more sultry and warm; a tawnier bronzer (or brownish blush, depending on which way you look at it), a vampish nail colour, a stronger brow and...
It's REALLY hard to take a good picture of your own hand! I'd just like to point that out before you judge my photograph. I persevered only because I didn't want to lump you with a useless picture of a nail polish bottle and no indication as to how the colour looked...
Many will be aware of my love for Dior's nail polishes - I think that they get them just right. The shades are great, the formulas are easy to apply, the brush size is perfect for getting an even finish with just one coat… So it was a warm welcome that I gave to their...
This week Max Factor asked me to don my detective's hat* (can't find it, but I will locate it in time for Friday's vlog, promise) and do some beauty research to celebrate 60 years of their pressed powder, Creme Puff. Have you heard of Creme Puff? I have to admit that...
I'm so sorry - this video is quite random because I filmed the main part of it weeks ago, but when I went to try and create something last week I couldn't find my big camera or my tripod or my lights or anything. Turned out that they were in the box that was at the...
Only Chanel could make hallowe'en colours look chic! The murky, khaki greens of the nail and eye shades and the pale pumpkin Mystique lipstick... My absolute favourite item from the collection is the Khaki Bronze Le Volume de Chanel Mascara which is limited edition...
I wanted to quickly show you a couple of shades from Benefit's new lipstick range, the Hydra-Smooth lip colours. These are juicy, moisturising lipsticks that come in varying degrees of intensity with cute, peachy-pink sheer formulas and fuller-coverage neutrals and...
A fun and frivolous emergency post as the strains of moving house have wormed their way into my brain and I can't get it together to write something proper! This "Tin o' Tint" looks like something you'd win at a fairground, doesn't it? Or find in one of those...
I know that I have already mentioned this little eyeshadow mousse from Autograph at Marks and Spencer, but it deserves its very own post, I think. And this isn't the last you'll hear about it either; it's in the makeup video that goes out on Friday! I just think that...
Dior are celebrating 60 years of the iconic Rouge Dior lipstick and have revamped the formula, the packaging and even the shade line-up. The new, adventurous me (I'm trying to break away from neutral lip shades) went straight for 844, Trafalgar. It's the most...
I'm really getting into these autumnal looks, aren't I? Traditionally, the autumn collections have been my least favourite, but I must admit that there are quite a few tasty little bits and pieces this year. In this picture I'm wearing a simple base of...
High praise for the Always Sharp waterproof liners from Smashbox: there's a sharpener built into the lid that goes to work on the point every time you screw it shut. Great idea. They really are always sharp! The nude shade is particularly good for lining the waterline...
