This bronzer from Dior is absolutely gorgeous. I posted this picture of it on Instagram a while ago but didn't have the courage to actually use it properly because I didn't want to rub the beautiful lettering off! (Oh, silly me.) The Diorskin Nude Tan could well be...
A new perfect nude to add to my nail polish collection: Lancome's Jolis Matins from the 'Vernis in Love' range. This is an easy-to-apply polish with a wide brush, a reasonably quick-drying formula and a nice, glossy finish. Jolis Matins is a great nude shade for my...
Well this has been a long time in the making! My Tom Ford-inspired beautiful bronzed makeup video on the FOURTH attempt. Yes, fourth. What can I say? I'm a perfectionist! This isn't (and couldn't possibly be) an exact copy of the makeup in the campaign image, though I...
This is the "touch-up tube" from Japonesque - a really handy little set of makeup brushes that fit snugly into a lightweight metal tube. I have been using these quite regularly due to the fact that I have packed away nearly every single makeup brush that I own into a...
Getting all arty with my montage there... Five glamorous lipsticks, two pairs of very cool sunglasses. You've had a sneaky preview of this video already (recent posts on Hollywood Glamour) but this is the Real McCoy, so to speak. It's quite self-explanatory, really -...
I have been trying - and trying is the operative word here - to film a look inspired by Tom Ford's beautiful summer collection. I direct you to the photograph below: the inspiration. It looks simple, really, doesn't it? But it's not! The products (shown above) are...
A quick and easy little makeup tutorial video here; it's what I did for the day I went to the polo. This is definitely the LAST polo post! Promise. As usual, the By Terry base is just flawless and glowy, and the Givenchy Mono Shadow paired with the Dior 3 Couleurs...
Gorgeous Lancome lippies. Shades, from left to right: 159B, 146B, 200B and 340B. The three to the right are my favourites from the entire range, but there are loads of shades including quite a bonkers purple! I do envy anyone brave (or crazy) enough to wear purple on...
Another "old-school" glamour photo for you before the full-length video comes out. (The first one posted last week and featured YSL and Polaroid.) This time I'm in Lancome's Miss Coquelicot and Jimmy Choo's Justine Sunglasses. I managed to smudge the lipstick as I was...
A little taster of a video that's going to be winging its way to you quite soon - it's all about old-school glamour! In this photograph I am wearing the utterly marvellous YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain in shade 20 and a pair of Polaroid Donna sunglasses. For some...
NARS new tinted moisturiser has shot right to the very top of my 'favourites' list. I adore it. It gives the fresh and dewy finish that I love so much, but it's not heavy or greasy. It applies reasonably well on cleansed skin (usually I'd apply moisturiser before...
I have been harping on about this makeup "base" to virtually anyone who will listen. It's actually called (stay with me here) Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronze Universel Embellisseur Effet Halé, or Bronzing Makeup Base, but if you ask me (and I'm going to tell you...
