Goodness, I've really tried with this foundation, but this review is, I should warn you, something of a mixed bag. I've seen so many glowing reviews of Clinique's Superbalanced Makeup online and so, when I first "dug in" (literally, see below for full explanation) I...
I promised myself that I wouldn't write about any more beauty advent calendars - I could keep going for weeks, and by that time they will have all sold out and I'll have calendar fatigue and I won't have had time to write about anything like skincare or foundation or...
In my original review post and video review of the Victoria Beckham makeup collection for Estee Lauder I mentioned that my top pick, if you were going to buy one item, would probably be the Modern Mercury Highlighter. Sort of risky to recommend it, really, as it was...
As far as gifts go, this one is pretty unbeatable. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger gift with purchase. It's worth about sixty billion pounds. OK, it's worth over £600. But, hello, SIX HUNDRED POUNDS! Who is mad enough to give away that much stuff in a single...
The "Ten Under £10" edition of the Weekly Window Shop was so very popular that I decided to make it a regular, standalone feature. Because who doesn't want a round-up of brilliant and affordable stuff? Ten Under £10 will concentrate mostly on beauty, but if there's a...
I have a rather fabulous worldwide giveaway for you today. I mentioned the gorgeous new OM Skincare in a recent Space NK post - it's a results-driven brand, using complex formulas and luxurious ingredients, but it very much embraces a "mindful" approach to skincare...
A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Paris with gorgeous French skincare brand Darphin. I've been to Paris more times than I could ever begin to count, and I think it's easy to become blasé about cities you're familiar with, no matter how beautiful...
It's not often that I look at my reflection and catch myself out, thinking, who in God's name is THAT? Actually, that's an utter lie: I catch myself out on an almost daily basis, glancing in the mirror and wondering why my own face has been exchanged for that of an...
Hmm. I tried to step away from the beauty advent calendars this year (my post on the Clarins and l'Occitane ones was going to be my singular foray into this particular area) but the Lookfantastic offering is gargantuan. Again. Do you remember the one from last year?...
I've very quickly fallen for Sunday Riley's Tidal Cream. It is, to summarise prematurely, a fresh-feeling moisturiser with superb brightening effects that seems to be highly effective without feeling as though it's going to burn my entire face off. So many products...
With liquid lipsticks taking over the beauty world, what better time to revisit a classic cult buy? Bourjois were ahead of the game with their Rouge Edition Velvet; a non-drying, intensely pigmented lip colour that feels as light as air to apply but has great lasting...
It's only the beginning of October - the leaves are barely dropping from the trees - and already the beauty advent calendars have begun to creep onto the internet. I sort of feel that you need to be a serious beauty enthusiast to snap up anything Christmas-related...
