Darphin and the All-Day Eye Refresh | AD

The last few weeks of pregnancy have not been kind to me, not in terms of peace and restfulness, anyway. Firstly, my nesting instinct kicked in, but instead of me polishing and sorting out drawers I've been on a crazy work frenzy, sending emails at midnight and...

bareMinerals Radiant Lipstick: The New Nudes

bareMinerals Radiant Lipstick: The New Nudes

Let's take a look at some gorgeous new lipsticks, shall we? These are just some of the shades in the new "Gen Nude Radiant Lipstick" line-up from BareMinerals. There are fifteen shades in the range, carefully chosen so that there's a perfect nude for every skintone...

January Favourites

Excuse my blusher overload in this video - I got rather carried away testing that new Hourglass palette that everyone is raving about. (It's nice, very glowy, not for everyone. God forbid any of the powders catch you around the eye area - it's like putting a spotlight...

Pregnancy Skincare: What’s Safe To Use?

Pregnancy Skincare: What’s Safe To Use?

The whole issue of "safety" when it comes to certain skincare ingredients during pregnancy is a touchy one and experts seem to have quite divided opinions on it, which doesn't help when you're looking for solid information on something at an already very confusing and...

The Pixi Double Cleanse

The Pixi Double Cleanse

I promised I'd tip you all off as soon as Caroline Hirons' Pixi Double Cleanse hit the shelves: and then promptly forgot. I'm so sorry. But actually, I think that it kept selling out for the first week or so anyway, so you can now acquire one in a much more stately...

Colab Paradise Dry Shampoo: Heavenly Hair

Please note that I am a founder of the Colab Dry Shampoo brand - this is not a paid post. I said I'd keep you updated with the new Colab Dry Shampoo launch and here it is: Paradise. I honestly don't know where to start with this post - I'm really...

Lancome L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick in Rose Rose

Lancome L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick in Rose Rose

Every now and then I go for a bit of pink on the lips to make myself feel interesting and snazzy. It's less in-your-face than red and, if you pick the right shade, it can look really youthful and flattering. Sometimes I stare at myself and everything just looks a bit...

Foundation Review: Clarins BB Skin Detox Fluid

Foundation Review: Clarins BB Skin Detox Fluid

Not strictly a foundation, but I'm going to treat the Clarins BB Skin Detox Fluid as one, with a full review and before-and-after photos, because a) the coverage is as good as many of the foundations I've reviewed and b) I think it's amazing and I want to have a...

December Favourites

December Favourites

This video wasn't supposed to go up until Sunday, but something odd and enthusiastic happened with my Youtube scheduling, so here it is: the December favourites. I spend almost the entire video wearing hair rollers, which is a bit weird, but there are some real beauty...

Foundation Review: Chanel Sublimage Le Teint

Foundation Review: Chanel Sublimage Le Teint

This was never going to be an easy foundation to test. The price tag (£98) attached to Chanel's new Sublimage Le Teint is just impossible to ignore. Usually, when I'm in the trial stages of preparing a beauty review, I try to forget the price and just see the results...
