I have made a Lancome makeup video using some of their latest eye products - the Hypnose Star mascara, which is an all-singing all-dancing lash-building lash-separating mascara, and the Liner Plume, a cool little felt-tip-pen-style eyeliner. (Could I have actually...
Date Night Makeup! It was my wedding anniversary last Thursday (you can read my wedding dress post here) and I went to a lovely local Italian restaurant for dinner. With Mr AMR, obviously - it would have been rather weird if I had gone alone! Here's the makeup look...
I've got a bit arty with my photograph today! It's not that great, mind - there's only so much you can do with an iPhone, a desk lamp and the back of a Natwest envelope! And the Estée Lauder gloss has all but disappeared into the picture - it's shot through with a...
Lots of people asked for a quick tutorial on the makeup look that I wore in the "June Monthly Favourites" video, and so here it is. Unfortunately, I did quite a hatchet job of my editing and so when I went to do the voiceover, it all got a little bit crazy! You'll see...
A few weeks ago I met the beautiful Tonia Couch, 23, who will be competing for Team GB in the Olympics this summer. Synchronised Diving. SYNCHRONISED DIVING, PEOPLE! As if diving from a ten metre high board wasn't petrifying enough, she has to do it in sync with...
Special mention of the summer so far has to go to Estée Lauder's Matte Perfecting Primer, which seems to be able to keep even the worst cases of shine-overload at bay. On a recent job, under very hot lights, it was the only thing that managed to make my skin look good...
This is a review of both the "Radiance" Foundation Primer and the Eye Canvas from Laura Mercier. If you want to see the Eye Canvas in action, just flick back to yesterday's post - it's used in the Monthly Favourites video. I'm sorry that it looks a little orangey in...
Just when I thought Japonesque could do no better with their affordable, superbly-made cosmetic brushes, they went away and made this range: Safari Chic. Adds a bit if fun to the making-up process, doesn't it? You'll see that I've used Japonesque brushes in quite a...
This was my "face of the day" the other day. Not today, not yesterday, but just on "a" day. "The" day. What a silly term this "face of the day" is! If I was talking about my true "face of the day" it would probably be brows furrowed and squinting eyes as I try for...
Lots of people asking about the polish that I'm wearing in the Teen Skincare Guide video; it's Lillibet's Jubilee from Butter London. Not a shade I would usually go for, admittedly, but I wanted to jazz up my very boring outfit that day! The silvery polish (no real...
I love the idea behind this palette. It's not the sleekest thing in the world, but it allows you to take your favourite Urban Decay shades and create your own bespoke eyeshadow selection. Yes you could just keep the shadows separate, but there's definitely an element...
It was very wet and windy in Cornwall on Saturday and so I recorded a little "outfit of the day" video. Mostly because I was trying to prolong the amount of time I could spend indoors - it was blowing an absolute gale outside! More outfit details can be found in the...
