Some Great New Foundations and Skin Enhancers…

I'll be writing up full posts on most of the products shown in the following video; I have loads of before-and-after pics to show you and I don't want to cram them all onto one page! There are some absolute crackers that I've discovered recently - new foundations that...

Healthy Glow Makeup: Guerlain’s Joli Teint Powder

Healthy Glow Makeup: Guerlain’s Joli Teint Powder

There are two ways of looking at Guerlain's "Terracotta Joli Teint Healthy Glow Powder Duo" (longest product name in the world, and breathe): either it's a finishing powder that you sweep over your skin to warm it up and add that final layer of faked "rude health", or...

Blue Skies and Blossoms: Jo Malone Cologne

Blue Skies and Blossoms: Jo Malone Cologne

Oh dear. I do sometimes think that Jo Malone gets far too much attention from me in comparison to other fragrance-makers; as a brand, they are kind of like a very cute and confident little girl that can't be ignored. You know that type of impossibly pretty,...

Aveda Botanical Kinetics Energizing Eye Cream – Tick!

Aveda Botanical Kinetics Energizing Eye Cream – Tick!

I mentioned this lovely Aveda eye cream in my March Favourites video but struggled to put my finger on exactly why I liked it so much. A few weeks on, and with many more days of trialling under my belt, I feel as though I can give you a better account of why this...

Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color: Finding the Perfect Nude

Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color: Finding the Perfect Nude

My search for the perfect nude lipstick continues. And when I say nude, I mean the kind of shade that almost blanks out the lips, not that "my lips but better" kind of shade that's a pale, caramel-beige neutral. "My lips but better" shades are easy to find - there's...

Two Bronzed and Glowing Natural Makeup Looks…

Two Bronzed and Glowing Natural Makeup Looks…

Thank you so much to those who commented on my makeup in the Chanel Rouge Coco photographs; it's actually part of a look that I was filming for an upcoming Max Factor video! To give you a sneaky preview of what I had on my skin; I buffed in the Skin Luminizer...

Pai Skincare: Targeted Treatment Masks for Sensitive Skin

Pai Skincare: Targeted Treatment Masks for Sensitive Skin

I haven't really gone on too much about my "pregnancy" skin; mostly because, if truth be known, all has been quite plain-sailing. Actually, I'd go one better than that and say that my skin throughout pregnancy (apart from a few dodgy months at the start) has been the...

Chanel Rouge Coco: The New Lipstick

Chanel Rouge Coco: The New Lipstick

I did an absolutely mammoth lipstick-trying-on session last week; I was seduced so completely by the new Chanel Rouge Coco launch that I spent a good few hours playing about with the different shades. They are just beautiful. Silky-smooth colour with a plumpy, buttery...

Cyber Peach Lipstick, Take Two!

Cyber Peach Lipstick, Take Two!

Another bright, peachy lipstick for those of you who are looking for something pretty but borderline-neon for the spring. Last week I discovered Devon Sunset from Burberry; this week's "cyber peach" is from a cosmetics brand called LOLA - you can find them at Marks...

Pregnancy Body Oils: Mustela Stretch Marks Care

Pregnancy Body Oils: Mustela Stretch Marks Care

I've been testing out quite a few pregnancy body oils recently and I thought I'd start reporting back on a few of them. Now I know that opinion is divided on stretch mark oils, but I do feel that prevention is better than cure when it comes to these things, and...

March Beauty Favourites with Caroline Hirons

March Beauty Favourites with Caroline Hirons

Just as an FYI: this video with Caroline Hirons started off being twenty-nine minutes long. Trying to get it down to anything below twenty took an effort of epic proportions, and finishing off with something that was seventeen? Well. I deserve some kind of Youtube...

Burberry Kisses Lipstick Review

Burberry Kisses Lipstick Review

Caroline Hirons came over to film with me yesterday and I appropriated a lipstick from her stash. (We were filming new launches, she had gone lipstick crazy.) Behold the Burberry Kisses lipstick in Devon Sunset; a luminous peachy shade that looks almost neon in...
