New Dior Addict Lipsticks

New Dior Addict Lipsticks

Dior have relaunched their bestselling Dior Addict lipsticks to include an "ultra-moisturizing soft core" (the CD logo part that you can see in a contrasting shade in the pics) that provides a kind of shine "boost". The idea is that this extra bit of moisture gives a...

August Beauty Favourites

August Beauty Favourites

Late with this. Sorry. I honestly thought that we had another couple of weeks left in August - I'm appear to be stuck in a kind of time-warp at the moment! This month's favourite products seem to be following a kind of "perfect skin" theme - completely unintentional -...

Clinique: The New 3-Step

Clinique: The New 3-Step

Clinique's 3-Step skincare system seems to divide people, opinion-wise, like no other beauty product I've seen. There are those that have used it religiously (and successfully) since their teens, and there are those who are so vehemently anti-three-step they would...

The Ready-Made-Skincare-Routine Cult Beauty Box

The Ready-Made-Skincare-Routine Cult Beauty Box

Many of you will have met my mate Caroline Hirons before; either in real life, at one of her sought-after skin appointments and meet-and-greets, or virtually, watching her videos and reading her amazing beauty blog. (You may have seen our videos together - if not then...

Fast Foot-Filing Part 2

Fast Foot-Filing Part 2

I raved about the Emoji Micro Pedi device earlier in the summer; it's the perfect pedicure tool for people who are lazy, time-poor or just...want to get really smooth feet. Forget sawing away with one of those manual foot files, or taking out chunks of heel with a...

Gucci Flora and the Signature Olfactory Flourish

Gucci Flora and the Signature Olfactory Flourish

The holiday let I lived in during my late pregnancy had the most incredible wildflower garden; I spent hours poking around it and looking at the various plants, though the photos here don't do it justice whatsoever! But anyway, when these Gucci Flora fragrances...

My Twelve Week Skincare Routine…

My Twelve Week Skincare Routine…

I've been using the same four skincare products, more or less, for the past twelve weeks. Out of necessity rather than choice, really, because I've had to whittle down my product arsenal to the absolute bare minimum, but that's not to say that I haven't enjoyed using...

The Dolce & Gabbana Autumn Makeup Look

The Dolce & Gabbana Autumn Makeup Look

I thought that I'd give one of the Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2015 makeup looks a whirl. On the D&G website, this particular look is described as being (to paraphrase) "naturally warm and sensual", with "golden hues" and "soft pinks". It sounds more like a summer...

Tan-Luxe Self-Tan Serum for the Face

Tan-Luxe Self-Tan Serum for the Face

I've had great results from this Tan-Luxe Illuminating Self-Tan Serum over the past couple of weeks; just two or three drops mixed into moisturiser gives a very believable bit of bronzage to the visage. (Somebody needs to stop me from coming out with these Godawful...

Bathing Beauty: Portable Art

Bathing Beauty: Portable Art

Charlotte Tilbury's Norman Parkinson collection has been out for a while, now, but the launch coincided with the arrival of Baby AMR and so I couldn't really make as much song and a dance about it as I would have liked. My top makeup picks from the collection would be...

New Mum Beauty and One Million Cans of Dry Shampoo!

New Mum Beauty and One Million Cans of Dry Shampoo!

Good God, I don't half lose my thread a lot in this new video! Sorry! I had filmed a whole makeup tutorial beforehand but my camera card was corrupt and none of it came out - by the time I filmed this one, I was completely brain-fried and couldn't remember what I had...
