I have been absolutely shattered this week (burning far too many candles at all ends!) and so my dark circles have made a bit of an appearance. I thought that I'd do a little video about my favourite cover-ups - with a few extras such as eye creams and highlighters...
Hands off, Terry - your sheer-expert foundation might be 'by' you, but now it's all mine! Absolutely stonking beauty product of the week prize must go to By Terry's Sheer-Expert Foundation. It's so ridiculously glowy, but it has no shimmer in it at all. Wearing it is...
I've written about Daniel Sandler's Watercolour Blush before, but I thought it was about time I revisited it because this is a truly magnificent product. You have to use it very sparingly and you have to be prepared to do a little blending, but once the Watercolour is...
ARGH! Retraction, retraction, just so I don't make a complete tool of myself! In the October Beauty Roundup I talked about the Clarins Passion Face Palette and I used it as a subtle illuminator on my cheekbones and under my brows. This is not an illuminator! After a...
Spotted at Duty Free when I was en route to Oslo a few weeks ago, the Bobbi Brown Nude Pink Lip Palette. The range of shades in the palette are really appealing, I think! If you were in the market for a selection of quite neutral shades but didn't know quite which...
Hooray! The second instalment of the Autumn Winter 2011 Makeup Collections videos! This one features Chanel, YSL (which many of you will have viewed the other day, but lots of people couldn't see the Vimeo clip so I've re-included it) and Sisley. So very high-end, but...
I'm not overly fond of lip 'plumpers' but this one is a little different. Becca Lip Plumping Moisture Gloss doesn't try to burn my mouth off with what feels like a kilo of concentrated jus de habenero pepper and I thank it for that. I don't particularly want to look...
I am totally smitten with Miners' new Matte Factor lip paints. I can't find a single thing I don't like about them, apart from the smell/taste, which is like a Nightmare in Vanilla. They go on smoothly as can be and then dry quickly to a matte finish - which,...
OK, first of all I have to admit that I feel ever so slightly bad pitching two products from the same family into full-on war. It's not a nice thing to do, especially when one is a speccy geek who stinks of fish and the other is a flash younger brother who probably...
I have produced a series of videos showcasing some of my absolute favourite cosmetics from the Autumn Winter 2011 collections. Today we have Dior and their incredible Nude Smoky palette, the special edition Blue Tie compact and the amazing Rouge Serum lipstick. (My...
I have grown worryingly attached to my Dior 3 Couleurs Smoky in 'Nude'. It's really a very, very subtle palette of neutral tones - unlike the other shade combinations in the range, this one doesn't create a smoky eye in the usual 'defined' or 'feline' sense, but...
I am incredibly excited by the autumn offerings from Yves saint Laurent. In particular the cream eyeliners - 'Effet Faux Cils' - and the beautiful darkest blue nail polish. I'm really into the idea of using navy, or very very dark blue, instead of black. Just to make...
