I'm not sure that "pizazz on your face" is a phrase that should be uttered in polite company, but there you go. Another cracking title from me. And another eyeshadow palette! They seem to be like buses - none for ages and then loads that you like come along at once....
Four great moisturisers for very dry skin. Skin that feels tight and uncomfortable and generally as though nothing will ever break through its tough, arid surface ever again. Skin like cardboard. Skin like leather. The first two suggestions are very affordable, the...
You may have realised by now that I'm a total retinol convert; it's an ingredient that seems to absolutely live up to the hype, with the sort of results even the most hardened skincare sceptics would find it difficult to argue with. Since the very start of my...
We've had a miniature heatwave here in the UK, which you'll know about if you live in the UK, obviously, but if you don't then perhaps won't. I mention this mini pre-summer (four days of uninterrupted sun in Somerset, temperatures reaching approximately twenty four...
I've already featured this cleanser (in my best of the beauty launches video) but Emma Hardie's new Moringa Light Cleansing Gel is so utterly glorious that it absolutely needs a post of its own. For posterity. And for the fact that I think I might like this cleanser...
It's been a while since I did that thing where I launch a series of videos with the intention of creating regular, seasonal content but then inevitably fail to keep going after a few episodes: so here's a new one. The best of the beauty launches. I'm actually very...
This week I've been testing a selection of moisturisers from Estée Lauder in an attempt to find my perfect fit. In the interests of full transparency, I already had a firm favourite (keep on reading), but being the highly scientific person I am (I'm not) I put my...
I'm incredibly excited to announce the launch of my collaboration with Elizabeth Arden today; the gorgeous ArdenXAMR beauty gift-with-purchase is now available at Boots and Boots.com! A soft quilted bag in the prettiest of pinks, filled with excellent skincare...
I've been raving on about this Becca Ombre Nudes palette for a while now and so - at the risk of over-Becca-ing you this week (see lipstick post here) - I wanted to just do a quick run-down on why I like it so much and why I think it's a good buy. There are plenty of...
I get questioned about my gel nails constantly (what shade of polish, where do I get them done, how much do they cost) and so I thought that I would put all of the information into one permanent post. Because my nails are gel nails but not - possibly - as you know...
I've been testing out quite a few new luxury lipstick launches and a couple of them are really quite fabulous. Comfortable, creamy, immensely flattering lipsticks that manage to retain a real punch of colour and (at least in the case of the Becca lipsticks I'm about...
Oh, hallelujah: I thought that the glorious Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm was on a limited run, once-it's-gone-it's-gone, but I've just seen that it's now a permanent addition to their Pro-Collagen line. (It took me four attempts to spell "hallelujah"...
