Zelens Skincare: Intense Defence Antioxidant Serum

Zelens Skincare: Intense Defence Antioxidant Serum

I look forward to any new launch from Dr Marko Lens' brand Zelens, but when it's two very potent and impressive serums, I really sit up and take notice. Dr Marko is a world-leading authority on skin cancer and regularly contributes to some of the most cutting-edge...

Chanel Les Beiges: The Marinière Edition

Chanel Les Beiges: The Marinière Edition

If you use your Chanel Les Beiges powders on a near-daily basis (I do) then you will most likely want to snap up one of the new, limited edition Marinière versions. They give the same perfected glow as the standard Les Beiges powders but with a bit of extra - very...

Keeping It Clean: Stylish Hair Care that Works

Keeping It Clean: Stylish Hair Care that Works

I could have called this post "sappy-looking, stylish hair care that I thought would be rubbish but actually turned out to be really good", but I didn't. I thought that it might be a little rude of me. Because it all looks very smart, actually, doesn't it? Smart and...

Body Cream for Dry Skin

Body Cream for Dry Skin

My designated body parts for testing out dry skin creams are my shins. Without proper care, they go scaly and shiny and weird, and if I wear tights or jeans then the problem escalates and I might even get some itchiness. The latest thick, balm-like body creams for dry...

Custom Cover Drops: The Ultimate Customisable Foundation

Custom Cover Drops: The Ultimate Customisable Foundation

As promised, a more in-depth study of the Custom Cover Drops from Cover FX. There's been quite a bit of hype surrounding this little bottle of foundation pigment and I will start by saying that the hype is not unfounded: this is a rather revolutionary makeup product...

Guerlain Maxi Lash: If Porsche Made Mascara

Guerlain Maxi Lash: If Porsche Made Mascara

  Oh my God, behave! This mascara from Guerlain is almost too sexy to be legal! I'm a long-term Guerlain Maxi Lash fanatic, so this new version was bound to tickle my fancy, but still: even I was taken aback at just how gorgeous the packaging was. (If you need...

Maybelline Brow Drama vs Benefit Gimme Brow

Maybelline Brow Drama vs Benefit Gimme Brow

After my raving review of Benefit's Gimme Brow, many people very kindly suggested alternatives for me to try, or requested comparisons with similar products. I've been quite busy (!) but have managed to test out Maybelline's Brow Drama and compare it. I ordered the...

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer: Instant Radiance

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer: Instant Radiance

I realised that I've featured the Laura Mercier Radiance Foundation Primer in loads of videos but it doesn't have its own post here on the website. And it deserves one. This is a primer so glowy that - if you're not careful - you're in danger of looking rather...

Neroli and Orange Blossom: Take me to my Special Place!

Neroli and Orange Blossom: Take me to my Special Place!

I adore the smell of both Neroli and Orange Blossom - they transport me to a calm, happy place. Ages ago I wrote about Charlotte Stockdale's collection for Jo Malone, in which she brought to life some of the scents from her travels, scents that were special to her,...

Perfect Feet for the Lazy or Impatient: The Micro Pedi

Perfect Feet for the Lazy or Impatient: The Micro Pedi

Well this was twenty-four quid well spent; the Emoji Micro Pedi is the most fun I've had with my feet in years. (There's some kind of rude joke in there somewhere but I haven't the energy to eke it out.) A sort of miniature sander that you run over dry foot skin, it...

Tinted Lip Balm: Three Delicious Options

Tinted Lip Balm: Three Delicious Options

Three juicy tinted lip balms for you - two rather posh and expensive ones and then a high street challenger with the most sumptuous and buttery texture. Tinted lip balm is a great way of wearing colour if you hate the maintenance of a true lipstick or want something...
