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
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
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...
Treat Time: The Clinique Covent Garden Gift | AD
If you're intent on overhauling your beauty cabinet this January then now is the time: Clinique have a gorgeous gift available at their Covent Garden store, available with the purchase of two or more Clinique products*. The gift includes a mini of one of my favourite...
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
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
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
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
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
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....
