Well this is an unusual one: a moisturiser that feels velvety to the touch but seems to melt into fresh-feeling perfection the moment it hits the skin. And then, despite this gorgeous fresh feel, manages to keep oiliness in check as well as hydrate. What is this...
I don't usually indulge in "dupes" posts, but I've been beavering away trying to find a good alternative to the red shade in Chanel's Candeur et Experience palette (shade on the far left above), a palette which sold out, unsurprisingly, almost the moment it landed on...
My top winter palettes, on video for your viewing pleasure; perfect picks if you like to treat yourself to a little glitzy makeup number before the party season. Or, y'know, at a push, give people presents, but I do feel that these are too nice to earmark as gifts!...
The Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer from Clinique has seen some love here on the blog before, but it's never had its own standalone review. So here we are - if you, like me, were disappointed with the new Superbalanced Silk Makeup (full review here) then...
I was once fitted for a head-to-toe latex suit in a fetish shop. I was to play a superhero in a TV advert (sadly it never happened because I got the flu, if I remember rightly) and I needed to be rubberised - everything from the neck down - for my superhero costume....
I've been using these extra-special cleansers on rotation, recently, as a bit of a winter kick-start for my skin but also as a proper "time out" sort of treat. They're not cleansers in the traditional sense, you see - you wouldn't use them to remove your makeup and...
I have a strong and long-lasting love for Lanolips. It's a high-powered lip-healer that stays put for hours and protects the skin from even the most bitter winter chills. If you've ever had cracked nipples, the bleeding sort of chapped nipples that are so painful you...
My love-in with the cushion foundations continues: I'm still using the Lancome (reviewed here) but when such a heavy coverage isn't required, it's on with YSL's new Fusion Ink. Actually, Fusion Ink isn't new at all (I video reviewed it here almost exactly two years...
I spend a few nights a week testing out overnight masks. It doesn't take me the whole night to test them, obviously, I just slap them on (takes approximately twenty seconds) and then go to sleep. It's one of the easiest jobs in the world, unless there's a job that...
I've been going a bit russety around the eyes for this year's Autumn Makeup Look. (I say this year's look as though I do a different look every year, but as we all know, all of my "looks" tend to be a subtle variation on "natural" or "smokey eye"!) I always...
The beauty retailers seem to be in some sort of crazy pre-Christmas bid to outdo each other when it comes to giving away piles of luxury miniatures or bundling them up into attractive advent calendars. The Liberty calendar, the Harvey Nics GWP, discount codes galore -...
Well this is just extraordinary. It has to be the most un-seasonal seasonal beauty release I've ever happened upon: a winter launch of a fragrance product that is so summery, so reminiscent of tropical islands and hot holidays and steamy evenings, it's virtually...
