Sunday Tittle Tattle: New Hair and Owning It

Sunday Tittle Tattle: New Hair and Owning It

I have new hair. Please excuse the fact that I've taken these photos with my shower in the background - I was filming a video in the bathroom and the light was nice! But anyway, here's my new style - shorter, blonder, fresher, younger. I love it. Many thanks to the...

Foundation Review: Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder

Foundation Review: Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder

I do enjoy it when a product does exactly what it says on the tin. Although I must admit that I often fail to look at the tin (tube/bottle/pot, delete as applicable) before I start, which gets me into all sorts of beauty scrapes. I once fake-tanned my face instead of...

Pretty in (Millennial) Pink

Pretty in (Millennial) Pink

I've been trying to ignore all of the fuss around "millennial pink" (the dusty, opposite-of-Barbie pink that's quickly established itself in the world of fashion and beauty and interiors as the shade du jour) but I have to admit that it is very easy on the eye. This...

The Celestial Bronzing Veil: Megawatt Glow

The Celestial Bronzing Veil: Megawatt Glow

I haven't talked about a bronzer for at least ten minutes, so I thought that another recommendation was well overdue. For those of you who are missing my in-depth foundation reviews: fear not. I have about half a dozen of the things stacked up and ready to go, I just...

Four Great Summer Scents for Sexy Skin and Hair

Four Great Summer Scents for Sexy Skin and Hair

I think I may have been a solar panel in a former life. Admittedly that's a slightly unconventional thing to have been in a past life - people tend to cite cats, dogs, birds, royalty - but I can't think of anything, either living or inanimate, that sums me up better...

All Nighter: The Extreme Makeup Fixer

All Nighter: The Extreme Makeup Fixer

Imagine if you could fix your expression to your face and make it last all day. Smile, grimace, frown; choose your mood and then lock it into place. It would be so handy for weddings if you could smile once and then freeze it. Or, for a serious occasion - something...

My Essential Summer Beauty Products | AD

My Essential Summer Beauty Products | AD

Some of my summer beauty essentials for you here, all neatly packaged into one (relatively) concise video. Note that I use the word "essential" very loosely; perhaps the only real summer beauty essential is sunscreen, followed by a good, robust cleanser to get it off...

The Easiest Smokey Eye Ever…

The Easiest Smokey Eye Ever…

In this video I show you the easiest smokey eye ever. I realise that's quite a claim, but I honestly can't see how an eye look could be any simpler than this: you draw on the eye crayon (it even uses a crayon, for Pete's sake!) and then smudge it out with a brush. It...

Les Sahariennes: The Ultimate Bronzer Just Got Better

Les Sahariennes: The Ultimate Bronzer Just Got Better

I love the existing YSL Les Sahariennes Bronzing Stones bronzers in their sleek compacts, but this new collector's palette is just something else! You may have missed last year's post on Les Sahariennes and so I'll do a brief recap: the YSL Bronzing Stones are powder...

Find Your Perfect Sunscreen

Find Your Perfect Sunscreen

A gentle reminder, now that we are moving into Summer Proper with its pub garden drinking sessions and impromptu al fresco lunches, to use a sunscreen. Whether you usually go in for a water resistant, pile-it-on-thick SPF 50 or something a little less robust, make...

Anne Sémonin: Luxury Made-to-Measure Skincare | AD

After posting about the amazing results I had with Anne Sémonin's Miracle Eye Contour Anti-Wrinkle Cream (see here - the fine lines around my eyes were almost totally erased) the lovely people at the brand asked me whether I might like to try a few more things from...
