Ah, good old Nuxe Rêve de Miel. One of my first "backstage" beauty discoveries - and possibly one of my first French Pharmacie purchases too. Rêve de Miel, Nuxe's Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm, has quite an odd texture in comparison to most lip balms; it doesn't have that...
Something new and incredibly convenient, if you like a quick and easy "brush on glow"; Bobbi Brown's Brightening Bricks. They're rather like a blusher blended with a subtle illuminator, blended with just enough bronzer (in some of the shade combos, at least) to stop...
The first proper pregnancy feature! I imagine that there will be lots of cheers, because so many of you have asked for updates and posts, but also a few little groans, because some would prefer all pregnancy stuff to be as far away from here as is humanly possible....
Product rave: the Suqqu Moisture Rich Mask. I just can't get over how a) weird and b) effective it is. Applying it is kind of like spreading glue; it's a tiny bit sticky and forms a tight film across your face. But blimey does this stuff work! It almost worked too...
Brain like a sieve: I forgot to put the budget face masks in the Affordable Skincare Routine post and also, more importantly, I completely omitted to tell you that I had made a video to go alongside it! If you read the main post, you'll see that I'm doing a huge...
I'm clearing out my beauty room before house renovations begin (don't even ask why I'm going ahead with building work when I'm having a baby in four-months-and-one-week's time!) and I keep discovering very interesting little boxes filled with skincare for various...
*this is a paid advertorial for Chloé Love Story. I was so pleased to be invited to join in with the Chloé Love Story project; I haven't done an editorial shoot in a few months (and probably won't be for a while, what with my growing baby bump) and so it was lovely to...
This came around quickly, didn't it? I'm still recovering from cooking the Christmas dinner! January Beauty Favourites; we have some hair stuff, some nice morsels of makeup and the results of my sponsored Olay skincare trial*. I also have another giveaway for you (UK...
Aerin perfume: it was always going to be very pretty, wasn't it? The cosmetics line certainly is, with its pale pink packaging and its gold compacts and its flattering, illuminating makeup shades. The perfumes don't let the side down; they come in petite glass bottles...
One of my all-time favourite beauty products has its fifteenth birthday this year and to celebrate I have a rather lovely giveaway! Alpha-H's Liquid Gold is a wipe-on-and-leave overnight treatment that's so incredibly simple and effective, it had me hooked from the...
I seem to be having a bit of a "rose revival" at the moment. I went off rose for a while, possibly because I completely overdid it, smothering myself in rose stuff from head to foot, but now I'm back on it with a vengeance. In fact, when I think about my total...
I've been sniffing my way through a lot of perfumes this month, but the standout one for me so far has been Rosabotanica by Balenciaga. Not a new fragrance - and one that I can't believe I've previously overlooked, considering it has rose in it! But this is a...
