Alpha-H Vitamin Collection: Easy Bespoke Skincare

Alpha-H Vitamin Collection: Easy Bespoke Skincare

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 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

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boy) and so am no longer pregnant, and I just wanted to get these features out there before they became completely outdated and irrelevant!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

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…

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

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

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…

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

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

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

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...
