It fills me with absolute beauty joy when I find an affordable face base that behaves like a much pricier one, so I'm going to plough straight on in with my review of the Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation. I was going to do a comparison post and review it...
Award for the most unlikely makeup hero of the year, so far, goes to Chanel's new Baume Essentiel. The transparent version. (There are two.) This is one of the most low-key radiance balms you'll ever find; it's so subtle - Chanel's word is discreet, which I love -...
I really need to crack on with my foundation reviews because I have a serious backlog. I get a bit stuck, sometimes, because I try to go into too much detail and then I start comparing one foundation with another and then I set myself the task of wearing one on one...
I wasn't at all prepared for this video; I was on an overnight stay at Heckfield Place (lovely new hotel, incidentally) and in the morning decided, with just a smidgen of a hangover, that I'd film myself putting on all of the makeup in my makeup bag. It was an odd...
I'm not sure that "pizazz on your face" is a phrase that should be uttered in polite company, but there you go. Another cracking title from me. And another eyeshadow palette! They seem to be like buses - none for ages and then loads that you like come along at once....
I've been raving on about this Becca Ombre Nudes palette for a while now and so - at the risk of over-Becca-ing you this week (see lipstick post here) - I wanted to just do a quick run-down on why I like it so much and why I think it's a good buy. There are plenty of...
I've been testing out quite a few new luxury lipstick launches and a couple of them are really quite fabulous. Comfortable, creamy, immensely flattering lipsticks that manage to retain a real punch of colour and (at least in the case of the Becca lipsticks I'm about...
I had a can of full sugar coke before filming this video, so you'll have to excuse the tendency towards frivolity. I've managed to get my Coca Cola consumption down to just one can a week, now, and I try to "take it" (like medicinal waters) on a work day when I need a...

So here's the deal: I've worn the Flower Beauty Light Illusion Foundation every single day for two weeks. It's great stuff. The only reason I don't have it on today is that I was travelling and needed to keep the weight of my makeup bag down - my laptop alone weighs...
Here are the contents of my makeup bag, accurate to two weeks ago today. In all honesty, I'm not a huge fan of the Camo Luxe palette and so that has since been swapped out (for Tilbury's Vintage Vamp, if you must know, which is one of the greatest eye quads of all...
Best Beauty Buys with Nadine Baggott. There are a lot of Bs in that title - it's a good job Nadine wasn't named Brenda! I have two very professional, completely serious videos for you to catch up on. I promise you that there are absolutely no rude bits whatsoever and...
