I have pretty much chucked out all other nail files apart from this one: the Crystal file from Leighton Denny. It's brilliant! I take good care of my hands and nails, but I don't obsess over them - I use hand creams once every few days, and when I'm at my desk I...
This is rather a great little gift from Boots 17, running until the 1st of November. If you buy two 17 products either instore or online, you get a free lip gloss, glitter eyeshadow and liquid liner! Not bad, not bad at all - and if you want to rock that whole sexy...
Cosmetics brand Eyeko have relaunched in a huge, huge way. I loved the cheeky 'cartoonish' look of the old Eyeko, but have to admit that the new packaging is super-swish. Eyeko's tube mascaras are squeezable so that you can get every last bit of mascara out - I dread...
We're having a mini heat-wave here in the UK - how utterly fantastic! I was just sorting through some images that needed processing and I found this one, taken very sneakily by Mr AMR when I was engrossed in my reading. (Location: Aenaon Villas. Heaven on earth!) I...
I have been messing about with bronzers over the last week, looking for ones that are good for taking us into the autumn months. I'm "fall"ing in love (sorry) with Sue Devitt's Gel Bronzer, which you might think a strange choice for autumn, but do let me explain....
Next in line for the Autumn Winter Makeup Collections: NARS! I loved the 'winged' look in the campaign picture (shown in video) so I darkened down my brows a little, donned a sexy Vivienne Westwood number and got cracking with the eyeliner pencil! I haven't gone...
The first video to come along in my 'Autumn Winter Makeup Collections' series, which is a series that I kind of wish I hadn't started. There's a lot of makeup to get through, let me tell you! Anyway, I have just picked my favourite collections and brands and even then...
I have to tell you: this 'body art' kit from Urban Decay is a lot of fun. You get ten 'tattoo' stencils (two each of rose, skull, stars, snake, swallow) and five different glitters along with some glue and a brush, and it takes just over a minute to create a...
I made a very rare excursion yesterday, and that was to Somerset House, home to this season's London Fashion Week. A rare excursion because I am, in fact, allergic to any kind of fashion week. The allergy harks back to the days when I had to attend show castings with...
A selection of products that have some kind of 'back to school' element to them. (Or college, uni, work - delete as applicable!) Some are timesavers, some are budget buys, some things are just handy to have around for quick and easy beauty maintenance. It has taken me...
Liz Earle's Sheer Skin Tint has launched and I have been giving it a little test-run this week. Although it is slightly heavier in formula than I'd usually use, I have had so many compliments about my 'glowing tan' so I have worn it for four days in a row. I haven't...
I wasn't entirely sure what I thought about the Clinique Black Honey collection at first; it all looked very red. I mean, there's nothing that's actually red, but the undertones all seemed to be much warmer than those that I'd usually pick out. I thought that the eye...
