My Post-Pregnancy Hair Loss

My Post-Pregnancy Hair Loss

I was going to do a written post on my postpartum hair loss, but actually you can see the sparse patches better on video, so a video it is. I'm thoughtful that way. And look I know that my hair loss isn't drastic - not by any means - but so many people have expressed...

Highlighting Powder: A Rekindled Love Affair

Highlighting Powder: A Rekindled Love Affair

It's possible I'm having something of a rekindled love affair with highlighters at the moment: pearlescent powders, cream illuminators, even obvious shimmers - anything, quite honestly, that will add some much-needed glow to my knackered face. I had forgotten how much...

Creme Puff Blush: Understated Nude

Creme Puff Blush: Understated Nude

After mentally compiling a "best of 2015" list but then completely forgetting to actually write up a post, I thought that I might work my way through and do some standalone reviews. At any rate, the Creme Puff Blush from Max Factor deserves its own page here on A...

New Flawless Foundations: Which One’s Right For You?

For regular readers, this video is just something a bit extra; I'll be doing far more in-depth reviews of the foundations shown on the video here on the website. You know how I like to keep you all in the Youtube loop! See all recent videos... There are quite a few...

Giveaway: Christophe Robin Luxury Regenerating Haircare

I'm starting the new week with an incredibly decadent giveaway for you. Do you remember my summer love affair with the Christophe Robin volumising haircare à la rose? Beautiful, bouncifying shampoo and conditioner with the most delicate rose scent? (If you don't...

Hyaluronic Hydra-Balm: Get On My Lips

Hyaluronic Hydra-Balm: Get On My Lips

By Terry's Hyaluronic Sheer Nude Hydra-Balm: get on my lips! I've been waiting for something like this for months; juicy, plumptious and peachy, sheer enough to be absolutely foolproof to apply, but with just about enough colour to make the whole thing a worthwhile...

Optimistic Makeup Wearing: The Dior Spring Look

Optimistic Makeup Wearing: The Dior Spring Look

Oh, I know we're still in the depths of winter (for people in the UK winter seems to have actually only just started) but there's nothing wrong with a bit of optimistic, forward-looking makeup wearing. Dior's 2016 Spring Look - Glowing Gardens - is actually just as...

Foundation Review: Effaclar BB Blur

Foundation Review: Effaclar BB Blur

I think you'll agree that the below "before and after" photographs are pretty epic: no light or computer trickery has been used. (I don't ever retouch my images, by the way - or Facetune or whatever people use to whiten their teeth and get rid of wrinkles and...

Beauty Products for Dry Winter Skin

Beauty Products for Dry Winter Skin

Starting off the new week with a skincare video; here's a roundup of the beauty products I've been slathering on my face in an attempt to beat the dreaded "winter dryness". I think my horrifically dry and tight skin has been more down to being ill rather than the...

NUDE Skincare Giveaway: The Fizzy Powder Wash

NUDE Skincare Giveaway: The Fizzy Powder Wash

I must apologise for my prolonged absence; I'm currently on Day 12 of a horrible cold-cough-throat virus thing that I'm finding hard to shift, and I have, until today, been stuck in bed. But I'm back, albeit mentally limping, and I have a wonderful giveaway for you to...

Darphin 8-Flower Nectar Oil Cream: Fragrant Face Treat

Darphin 8-Flower Nectar Oil Cream: Fragrant Face Treat

I wanted to give this sumptuous, buttery face moisturiser a bit more of a try before writing a full review, but I've noticed that it has a third off at Escentual.com at the moment and - as it's not exactly cheap - thought that I'd give it an early shout-out....
