I mentioned this tinted balm right at the end of last week's "What's In My Makeup Bag" video but have used it so much that I thought it deserved a proper post. I hadn't tried a Dior Rouge Balm (or Baume!) before this one - where on earth have I been? I've looked...
The beauty world, as you will have realised by now, has gone contouring crazy. I mentioned in my previous post that my preferred contour method, for a really soft and subtle look, was simply a sweep of matte bronzing powder beneath the cheekbones. None of that "snail...
I mentioned in last weekend's Chanel Spring 2015 post that I'd come back to you with my verdict on the Rouge Allure Gloss and it's a definite yes from me. I'm not a habitual gloss-user; they get on my nerves because even the relatively unsticky types make me feel...
I did a little contouring kit comparison over on my Telegraph "hub"; Clinique Chubby Contour sticks vs the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate. Tom Ford's "S&I" was one of the first contouring products that I remember seeing on a cosmetics counter; now the world is...
I went to my Mum's for the weekend and in a quiet little moment to myself, thought I'd film a "What's in my Makeup Bag" video. I haven't done one in ages and I wanted to show you some of my current essentials, though I am something of a creature of habit and so you'll...
The three lip products above look almost identical in tone, don't they? When I was trawling through my still life photos (I tend to do a huge batch all at once, at the beginning of the month) this picture really caught my eye - strange to have such similar shades in a...
This video backfired on me a little bit: I started thinking about filming it four years ago, but have only just managed to get my act together, and as a result more than half the products I mentioned were discontinued when I went to do my credits! So I had to edit...
Oh, the Space NK Goody Bag: always sent to tempt us. This time, a slightly lower-than-usual spend threshold and perhaps a slightly lower value, though I am yet to tot up the contents. Hold on while I grab my calculatrice... I can tell you for a start that the minimum...
Just a bit of fun; I was tagged in the "five minute makeup challenge" by fellow beauty Youtuber, Marnie Goldberg, and decided to accept. I have never done one of these "tag" videos before, usually because they involve tasting weird foods or getting your boyfriend to...
There was a genuine "hallelujah" moment when Mr AMR and I removed our Express Smoothing Eye Masks. Or I should say mask, singular. We only had one on each, because a) we both wanted to have a comparison "control" eye and b), these Shiseido masks are bloody expensive...
Jelly cleansers have crept (or should I say wobbled!) into my skincare routine over the last six months or so. It started on a purely superficial level - I simply loved the word "jelly" - but after trying Melvita's Purifying Cleansing Jelly and then NUDE's Perfect...
Just a quickie, today, because I have recently discovered the television series Game of Thrones and the sofa beckons! Goodness me is Game of Thrones saucy - how has it taken me so long to get around to watching it? I thought that it was going to be a bit like Lord of...
