Here's the classic red lip but with a new way to wear it. Which makes it the un-classic red lip, I suppose. It's soft and diffused, the edges are patted down and blurry - it's easier and more wearable than the traditional hard-edged, punchy red lip but still vibrant...
Foundation Review: L’Oreal Infallible Pro Glow
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) I'm late with this L'Oreal Pro Glow Foundation review but I think it'll have been worth waiting for, especially if you are on the hunt for a flawless-finish foundation that manages to look...
Foundation Review: Clarins Skin Illusion
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) Well here's a lovely new foundation for lovers of lightweight makeup: Clarins Skin Illusion Natural Hydrating Foundation. It's a brand new makeup launch and it replaces Clarins' original...
Foundation Review: Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) I've found this review surprisingly difficult to write considering that this is one of the very best makeup products I've used in years. I think it's perhaps because I'm not quite sure where...
Colour Riche Shine: Lipstick with Extreme Juiciness
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) It seems to be turning into lipstick week - first the Chanel Jumbo Crayon and now the L'Oreal Colour Riche Shine - but it's not often I find formulas that I want to wear again and again, so...
Le Mat de Chanel: Jumbo Luxury Lip Crayon
I've been meaning to write about Chanel's Jumbo Longwear Lip Crayons for a while, but the arrival of what could potentially be my all-time perfect lipstick shade ("Discretion" from the AW18 collection) suddenly made this review a bit more urgent. Because the new...
Video: New Chanel Makeup & Glowing Skin
I had no idea what to call this week's video - it's such a jumble of reviews and demos - and so I pulled out the two features I thought might be of the most interest. Some new Chanel makeup bits (from the recently launched AW18 collection) and a foundation for...
What’s In My Makeup Bag: Summer 2018
The title of this video should really be What's In My Makeup Bags, plural, not Bag, singular, because - at last count - I have four different versions on the go. The first one (my special edition Swag Bag with Scamp & Dude - all profits go to my chosen charity,...
Foundation Review: L’Oreal Paris Infallible Shaping Stick
Well it's been a while, hasn't it? I promised a whole slew of foundation reviews on a very regular basis and there hasn't been one since Clinique's Even Better Glow, which was months ago. It was also, admittedly, a hard face base to follow and I didn't really want to...
Rouge G de Guerlain: Luxury Lipstick Treasure
Goodness me. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the effort that's gone into designing these Guerlain Rouge G lipstick cases? Rouge G has always been a favourite of mine, with the slide-out lip colour and pop-up mirror. It weighs about the same as a four-oven AGA,...
The High Street Mascara with High-End Performance
Last week I wrote about my non-surgical eye lift revelation which was, probably to many people's disappointment, simply the power of a good mascara. No trickery, no miracle-promising skincare ingredients, just simple lash definition and a bit of lift at the roots to...
The Non-Surgical Eye Lift
OK, you have to bear with me here, because the revelation that follows is so unbelievably obvious I'm almost embarrassed to post about it. What we have here isn't some new-fangled eye cream ingredient or a fancy, muscle-toning massage move. It's not an optical...
