I mentioned the Kypris Moonlight Catalyst in my post about powerful, pregnancy-safe beauty products, but since then I've given it an even more thorough testing and I must say that the results are very convincing. It's a lightweight, watery serum (nothing like the...
Hydrating serums seem to have become a non-negotiable part of my skincare routine. I like the intense hit of moisture that they provide, I like that they are (almost always) lightweight and fresh feeling and quick to apply, I like that they can plump and smooth the...
Back to the beauty favourites - a good mix of body, hair, skincare and makeup this month. Oh, and some panty liners thrown in for good measure. I deliberated for ages (ten minutes) over whether to include panty liners - they're not exactly the most glamorous of items...
I feel as though Chanel are always going to be on a bit of a losing streak with me, when it comes to bringing out new foundations. And that's not because they're bringing out bad foundations (Chanel do excellent face bases); it's because I've already found perfection...
The title of this post suggests that you're about to see a load of limited edition makeup from the Spring 2017 collections: not so. Including the season and the year at the end of the title is just a way of me giving some sort of "time stamp" to a feature that I'd...
Goodness I'm shattered. I mean really, really shattered. I'm not about to go into a huge whinge about why I'm so shattered, I just wanted to set the tone. Because the beauty products I'm about to tell you about have all had quite a dramatic effect on my mood in the...
There's a very nice gift with purchase running at Harvey Nichols* - the (extremely smart) toiletries bag they're giving away is quite literally bursting with beauty products, many of them full size. I'm still working through the things from the last Harvey Nics gift,...
These shiny pots are a devil to take photos of: apologies. I actually got rather a shock when I edited my pictures because my gurning "concentrating" face appeared in one of the reflections - well, half of my face. The other half was behind the camera. At any rate,...
Wanting to compile the Ultimate Mother's Day Wishlist, I emailed my Mum to ask her what sort of things she would really like to receive. You know, in an ideal world. No holds barred. "Think outside the box!" I said. "You can be obscure as you want!" I said. A got back...
Do you find that your foundation slips or goes patchy on your nose and forehead, where your skin is oilier? There are some brilliant primers for oily and combination skin out there - used after moisturising (or straight after a hydrating serum, as you prefer) a good...
I'm about to be a total tease because Narciso Musc Oil isn't really available online, it's more of a "try and find it instore" sort of job. But wearing this for the past few weeks has reminded me how much I absolutely adore the Eau de Parfum version of Narciso and -...
When Victoria Beckham launched her eponymous makeup collection with Estee Lauder last year, the bronzer - in its ribbed leather compact - was one of my top picks. But boy was it a bronzey bronzer. Java was (is), for someone of my particular colouring, a proper "two...
