I've been a bit out of sorts for the past few days, so apologies for the lack of post yesterday, I know how many of you look forward to the Sunday Tittle Tattle! I'll be back into the swing of things shortly, but for now here's the latest video - a very quick and easy...
Lots of people have body and beauty concerns when they're pregnant - fears about their body changing and never returning to its former glory, worries about hair loss and stretch marks and a dread of getting spotty, hormonal skin. I was one of those incredibly annoying...
Starskin, The Master Cleanser, Detox Sea Kelp Leaf Cleansing Foam. Woo! That's a product name and a half, isn't it? I had to add some commas in just to break things up a bit, otherwise I could imagine people expiring from lack of oxygen before they reached the end of...
If you're looking for one luxe item to add life to your summer makeup bag then you could do worse than Chanel's Empreinte Du Désert eyeshadow quad. I've been using it for the past month or so, almost on a daily basis, and it has the perfect trio of shimmery, simmering...
This is the second time in only a few weeks that I've gone to write a rave review about something and then found that I've already done a rave review about it. On the one hand, it's very annoying, because I invest quite a bit of time testing things, photographing...
I had a (mostly) baby-free afternoon last week and so I thought I'd film myself getting ready for a Jimmy Choo 20th Anniversary dinner that I was attending. This sort of video is widely known as - rather unimaginatively, but we'll let that pass - a Get Ready With Me...
I've long been a fan of Vita Liberata's Capture the Light skin perfector; it adds a tint, a touch of glow and somehow seems to blur imperfections, leaving your legs looking as though they are clad in some sort of invisible miracle tights. Capture the Light has been...
Here's an easy way to wear blue around the eyes without looking like a five year old in a beauty pageant: a few coats of mascara wiggled right into the roots of the lashes, top and bottom, so that there's almost a haze of colour defining the eye. It looks great on an...
A new, magnificent racehorse of a product joins the Colab Dry Shampoo* stable: Colab Active. I've been very excited about this one, not least because it will give me some motivation to do some exercise; a dry shampoo that has been formulated for gym bunnies, sports...
My most-requested review of the year; not from readers, but from friends and family. Which is unusual, because most of my friends and family couldn't really give two hoots about beauty things! I suppose, though, that the Supersonic hair dryer from Dyson is far more...
Filming in my new office is not going well. Not at all. I can't really talk to Mr AMR about this as when the office was being designed (it's newly built and at the bottom of the garden) he asked me a million questions about whether such and such wall dimensions or...
I find it relatively easy and enjoyable to test and monitor the results of skincare for dehydrated skin; not only are these types of products usually light and fresh-feeling and suitable for use nearly all of the time, their effects are often pleasingly noticeable and...
