The Ordinary Colours: Serum and Coverage Foundation Review

The Ordinary Colours: Serum and Coverage Foundation Review

Another foundation review for you. (Ambassador, you're really spoiling us, etc.) It's actually two foundation reviews in one; the Coverage Foundation and the Serum Foundation, both from Deciem brand The Ordinary. The Ordinary launched last year to a hugely positive...

Armani Power Fabric Foundation Review

Armani Power Fabric Foundation Review

I've been testing out Armani's Power Fabric foundation - very thoroughly, as it happens, because I've been trying to film quite a bit of content for Youtube and so I've needed a fuller base. As you know, I'm not the greatest lover of high coverage, longwear...

Beauty Favourites: April 2017

Beauty Favourites: April 2017

Did you ever play a game when you were little called Kim's Game? We used to play it at Girl Guides. It probably has loads of different names and ways to play it, but our version was this: you'd have a tray with a load of objects on (things like pens and buttons and...

Tom Ford Soleil: Summer Makeup Decadence

Tom Ford Soleil: Summer Makeup Decadence

Brace yourselves for some serious makeup lust: the Soleil collection from Tom Ford has landed. Look at those compacts! So chic. And because I'm on a bit of a bronzer run this week, I thought I'd test out the Ultimate Bronzer. It's pleasingly oversized - just calling...

Bourjois Mat Illusion Bronzer

Bourjois Mat Illusion Bronzer

I said in my Summer Essentials post that I'd review the Mat Illusion bronzer from Bourjois and so here it is in all its glory. It really is lovely. Completely free of any shimmer or pearlescence, it blends beautifully into the skin and leaves it looking realistically...

Some Sunshine Essentials…

Some Sunshine Essentials…

Trying to schedule a post around when you think it might be sunny is almost impossible in this country, so I'm assuming that it will be raining as you read this. If it does happen to be raining, then look upon the post as a sort of "teaser" for any upcoming warm...

Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water

Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water

I completely forgot to include the Micellar Cleansing Water from Sukin in my Current Beauty Favourites: a huge oversight, because I actually use this quite regularly. I use micellars in general quite regularly, thinking about it, whether it's to remove a bit of my...

Soothing Stuff for Sensitive Eyes

Soothing Stuff for Sensitive Eyes

Mine eyes! They feel as though they've been replaced with shrivelled up conkers - the inside of my lids are like pieces of sandpaper. It's all so dry in the orbital region that it's amazing I don't start little fires in my eye sockets when I blink. It must be the...

Shopping the Stash: Old Makeup Favourites

Shopping the Stash: Old Makeup Favourites

My lovely sister-in-law came to visit me over the Easter weekend and, as she's a true makeup junkie, I decided to have a delve into my various storage boxes and drawers and offload some of my unused cosmetics. (Note that I say unused and not unwanted: I want...

Treating Spots During Pregnancy

Treating Spots During Pregnancy

As I'm on a bit of a skincare-posting roll, here's the last of my pregnancy posts that has been lingering in my drafts folder. Mainly because a few of these products have been featured elsewhere, and I didn't want to repeat myself... But it's good to have all of my...

Current Skincare Routine: Spring 2017

Current Skincare Routine: Spring 2017

I've updated my skincare routine; firstly because we're moving into the warmer months and there's the inevitable extra sun exposure, and secondly because I'm no longer pregnant and my skin is far less sensitive. I've started to add stronger and more active products...
