I'm so impressed with Alpha-H's latest launch - I think that it really taps into the trend for bespoke skincare, but in a way that's simple and easy to understand. The Vitamin Profiling Collection* is a set of four potent serums, each featuring a different...
The Colab Cans Get New Clothes!
The new-look Colab Dry Shampoo cans have launched! Teeny-tiny mermaids, tropical palm leaves and a smart new design for the Active version too - I absolutely love them. Same brilliant product inside, but the cans have been given "new clothes". As many of you know, I...
Warming Blush for Wintery Skin
I feel as though I haven't done a makeup post in ages, so here we are: a bit of springtime blush to add some fresh colour to dull, wintery faces. Two lovely peachy shades - one from Dior's Spring collection and the other a blush from YSL's permanent makeup line-up. In...
The Pregnancy Skincare Habits I’m Going To Be Keeping…
The last of my pregnancy skincare posts, now - I've safely delivered Baby Number Two (a gorgeous boy) and so am no longer pregnant, and I just wanted to get these features out there before they became completely outdated and irrelevant! You can read my post on safe...
Love In Idleness: If Naughty Fairies Wore Scent
Atkinsons' Love In Idleness is such a romantic, beautifully feminine fragrance - I mentioned this in my Valentine's Day post as a springtime alternative to the more predictable rose scents, but it's good for all-year-round-wearing, really, so long as you like your...
Pixi Glowtion for Dull Skin Days…
I said that I'd get back to you with my verdict on the Glowtion Day Dew from Pixi and here it is. I think, if I remember rightly, that I was pitching it as an alternative to Estée Lauder's Wake Up Balm (review here) - a glow-giving skin-plumper that, on dull and...
New: Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Blush Palette
Oh, Hourglass: everything you touch, makeup-wise, seems to turn to gold. Or at least a very chic, subtly-skin-illuminating, non-glittery version of gold. Cosmetics brand Hourglass are becoming synonymous with the megawatt glow we all strive for in order to make...
The White Company Skincare: Minimalist Meets Deciem
I mentioned the (really quite excellent) cleanser from this new range in my January Favourites video, but the entire Advanced Skincare Collection from The White Company deserves a proper shout-out here on the website. It's very good indeed. In true "White Company"...
My Valentine’s Luxury Lust List…
Mr AMR would rather repeatedly stick a screwdriver into his eye sockets than do anything for Valentine's, but I, for one, think that it's the perfect excuse to receive a little treat. Something beautifully scented, something flirty and pink, or pale and expensive and...
Diptyque Philosykos: A Life-Long Love Affair
I made a cheeky little Space NK purchase just before Christmas; the Philosykos eau de toilette from Diptyque. This makes it - by far - my most-repurchased luxury beauty item. I can't think of any other product I race through so quickly and so religiously keep "in...
Pregnancy Skincare: Safe Swaps for Powerful Products
If you read my post on pregnancy skincare last week, you'll have seen that I asked cosmetic dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting for her opinion on a couple of quite controversial ingredients - retinol and salicylic acid. Many professionals (including Dr Sam) are of the...
Chanel Coco Codes Collection
Woo, there's some serious alliteration going on there! "Chanel Coco Codes Collection" - sounds all cloaked in Parisian mystery, if you ask me. But listen, I can't go on too much because I'm - quite literally - about to have the new baby and it feels a bit...
