I promised just after Christmas that I'd do a proper post on the d.j.v. Beautinizer. There's been a bit of a delay, but here we are with the post and a proper picture! Check me out with my deathly face and weird, psychopathic stare! Why, why, why did I think that...
I did a written post a while back about how I prepared for a lingerie casting, and once the archives have been rebuilt I shall link to that from this page. But I thought I'd also do a video - mostly because the Youtubers have been naggling for one and I thought that...
All Hail Edward Bess’s Quad Royale, bringer of cheeky apricot hues and brilliant peachy tones! I know you’re all peached out after yesterday’s exploits (see Peach Cobbler-ed) but this little face powder does deserve an extra mention. It’s just an excellent peachy...
Sexy, no? When Mr AMR saw me open the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette, he actually commented on it. Mr AMR: “That’s a nicely designed palette, isn’t it?” Me: “Yes, and look at the amazing shades inside it! I’d wear every shade! And there’s a full-size brush!” Silence. Me:...
Chanel’s ‘June’ nail polish from the Spring 2012 collection is absolutely gorgeous – I’m obsessed with this creamy apricot shade! Last year I bought a cardigan and a top in exactly this colour, so I can’t wait until it’s warm enough that I can wear them again. And be...
OK, listen. I'll admit right now that I thought this idea was a bit stupid; it's kind of a YouTube obsession. People show viewers their 'collections' of makeup and how they store it. Personally, I cannot think of anything more boring than watching whole minutes of...
My latest 'big tick' mascara is Dior's "New Look" - I will be putting it into a video very soon, but if you want to see the effect after just one coat, have a quick re-watch of the latest video, A Dozen Red Roses. Nice, isn't it? A really sophisticated effect. What...
Remember the Illuminating Powder Gelée from AW11 that everyone went ker-azy over? (If you need reminding, see this post and video here: Modern Mercury Illuminator) Well, it's back! Estée Lauder have returned with a new version for the summer, Topaz Chameleon, and it's...
I mentioned this mascara in the August Beauty Round-Up but I have recently rediscovered it. I had felt that the comb wand took a little bit of getting used to, but I am pleased to say that with an additional bit of practice, Clinique High Lengths is now one of my...
January is infinitely depressing, is it not? I often feel like being cryogenically frozen for January and being defrosted when it gets into the second week of February. Just in time for Valentine's Day. Because obviously I wouldn't want to miss that spectacular...
I don't often feel a pressing urge to write about something so soon after trying it, but I think that this Givenchy mascara is absolutely exceptional. You may have already seen this particular applicator or 'wand' - it's spherical! Very unusual. My friend Dina who's a...
I meant to post these pics up last week but things got hectic! This was my makeup for New Year's Day - I went out for dinner at Clos Maggiore in Covent Garden with Mr AMR, my little sister, and little sister's new husband! (That makes it sound as though she has had...
