I've just been scrolling back through all of my previous What's In My Makeup Bag posts and I stumbled across this particular beauty: the Summer 2018 edition. If you don't want to click through and read it then here's the gist of the matter, in image form: Isn't it...
It's Best Budget Beauty time again and who better to join me in my bargain-hunting exploits than the self-confessed dupe-obsessive Nadine Baggott? Nadine has decades of experience as a beauty editor and presenter and spends an unholy amount of time chasing down...
Well here's a makeup collection that feels decidedly spring-like; it's making me feel quite optimistic and invigorated about things, despite the fact that we're being battered by various storms and all still wearing tights. It's the Act IV collection by Estée Lauder,...
After writing off my "daily essentials" makeup bag, thinking I had lost it at a hotel, I was excited to find that it was, in fact, stowed away right at the back of the glovebox in my car. Behind the owner's manual and the pile of old MOT certificates and the broken...
Stand down, Outraged of Welwyn Garden City, I said How To Do A Glow Job not blow job! To be honest, I'm almost forty and still couldn't tell you how to do the latter that well, so the chances of me writing a post about it (or - urgh - making a video) are slim. Hohoho....
We need to talk about BBC's drama Gold Digger, but also about a hot red lipstick. Weird mix, admittedly, but I got distracted halfway through recording my makeup video and ended up talking about Tom Hardy, morning breath and implausible storylines. Sorry about that....
Ah, there's nothing that marks the passing of the seasons quite like one of my makeup bag videos. You could set your clock by them. (I'm being facetious, obviously; I never get these seasonal makeup videos out at the right time.) This (un)timely makeup offering is for...
Do you remember when I whipped myself in the face with a fully-grown tree? It wasn't one of my finest moments; I almost lost an eye and I think that my children are probably emotionally scarred for life. (They're not. That's a lie. They didn't even look up from the...
Oh, these little eyeshadow palettes from NARS are just so good. I've been testing them out for months now and they are without a doubt one of the most-used (and most useful) eye products in my makeup bag. I say makeup bag, obviously I mean bags, plural. The cosmetics...
I haven't reviewed a tinted moisturiser in a while so let's make a juicy little comeback with this lovely luxurious one; the Code8 Radiate Beauty Balm. Code8 haven't called it a tinted moisturiser but that's pretty much what it is - light to medium coverage in a...
To say that I haven't been getting out much is a bit of an understatement. I feel as though I've been locked in my office for months, though it's really only a matter of weeks if I count it up properly. Still, I've been doing the intense sort of work that means you...
I'll start this post with a bit of an emergency bargain announcement, because it might not be around for long and you'll kick yourselves if you miss it. The Rodial Airbrush, an amazing luxury foundation brush with a dome-shaped head and firm, densely-packed bristles...
