The new Revolution lipsticks from Urban Decay are just absolutely gorgeous. I know that most beauty brands are intent on formulating the ultimate "long-wearing-yet-ultra-moisturising" lipstick but I really do feel that Urban Decay are near to the winning line with...
I think that this is a perfect daytime makeup look - more intense than I'd usually go, but not so heavy that it looks OTT in the sunlight. Forgive the pics - I've taken some stills from a video edit so I'm not posing or smiling! Not that most people pose or smile when...
I've had a chance to take a good look at Chanel's summer makeup collection, l'Été Papillon, and it's really beautiful. In all honesty, as quite a "nude" makeup wearer, the bright butterfly colours didn't instantly appeal to me but the campaign images were so gorgeous...
I really like the new(ish) cream shadows from Benefit. Smooth, non-creasing and great either worn alone or as a shadow base. My favourite shades are Bronze Have More Fun and No Pressure - both leave a gorgeous sheen on the lids, though Bronze is far richer in tone....
Possibly the worst of the summer skin problems is having to deal with excess shine. Shine either brought on by overactive oil glands or by sweating or both. Not the most glamorous of subjects, I grant you, but you're talking to the woman who wrote a whole post about...
This is a glorious little collection, is it not? Tom Ford's lineup for Summer 2013 is very rosy-gold indeed! My favourite products are the lip gloss and the cream shadows - the liquid highlighter and cheek colours are lovely, but very subtle; the cream shadow in Pink...
Last week I dashed over to Paris to attend an amazing party that celebrated the launch of the Alber Elbaz for Lancome makeup range. You can read my post about the makeup here - I called the post Lancome in Lanvin's Clothing, which I thought was incredibly witty at the...
I recommended the YSL cream blushes to death earlier on in the year, so it's only fair that I show some love to the lightest, coolest cheek colour on the market: By Terry's Hyaluronic Blush. You'll be no stranger to By Terry if you've been reading my reviews and...
For those who were asking about a tutorial on my TWO Magazine cover makeup - it's out. Sam from Pixiwoo actually filmed the tutorial on the shoot itself, so it's a nice behind-the-scenes kind of video, as well as being instructive. I say instructive, but there's also...
About two weeks ago I posted up a video showing my luxury makeup treats for the summer (link below) and there are a couple of products in particular that I wanted to pick out and review in more detail. Dior's Nude Tan Paradise Duo is the first of these things. The...
A smoky eye with hints of purple is fast becoming my "summer makeup look". I have no idea why, because usually I can't stand purple shadows! I think that perhaps it's because the purple has been mixed with quite a warm, rich brown and so it makes blue eyes bluer - I'm...
I have upon my desk some early-release makeup samples from the new Lancome Alber Elbaz collection. They are very pretty indeed. You'll no doubt have seen a few teasers for this on the internet over the last few months - gorgeous little illustrations and quirky video...
