I'm supposed to be concentrating on getting my app launched (The Night Feed, it's almost finished!) but I couldn't let a quick review of this new SPF from Elizabeth Arden slip through the net. Because Great 8 Eight Hour Daily Defense Moisturiser SPF35 is absurdly...
Since having babies my bodycare regime has dwindled down to the absolute necessities; hacking through my plantations of leg hair once a month and making sure that my shins, which have a tendency to be as dry and crackled as ancient treasure maps, are regularly...
I'll start this post with a bit of an emergency bargain announcement, because it might not be around for long and you'll kick yourselves if you miss it. The Rodial Airbrush, an amazing luxury foundation brush with a dome-shaped head and firm, densely-packed bristles...
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've just risked life and limb careering up the stairs to get this review out to you; such is my dedication to the beauty cause that as soon as I saw the Japanfusion Supreme Cream back in stock, I dropped my knitting (aka browsing the Rightmove app) and scurried to my...
Well here's a little something that gets my gadget-geek side a bit overexcited; La Roche-Posay have just launched an incredibly useful piece of tech called My Skin Track UV. It's a wearable sensor that measures your exposure to UV, pollution, pollen and humidity and...
Elemis have launched two new moisturisers into their Peptide 24/7 range; a clever, multi-tasking day cream - Peptide4 Adaptive Day Cream* - and an overnight mask called the Plumping Pillow Facial*, which must be one of the most inviting product names I've ever seen....
Well, Molton Brown's new Geranium Nefertum range is a bit of a surprise. I can't remember the last time I needed to try a fragrance on Mr AMR with such immediacy - I actually sprinted down the stairs to spritz him. He thought I'd won the lottery such was the...
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...
Dr Teal's bath salts are so good I've just ordered some more. Which might sound like a bit of a non-statement (if you like something then why on earth wouldn't you order more?) but when you have a whole shelfload of things waiting to be tested - bottles of bath oils...
