I love poking about to see what other people have in their makeup bags and in their bathroom cabinets (though that never goes down to well if you're caught red-handed!) and so it was a joy to film this video with my friend and professional celebrity-polisher-upper...
OK look, I know that it's not quite there in terms of coolness and luxe-appeal, but if you were badly craving the Christian Louboutin nail polish and couldn't justify the £36 splurge, then I do rather like the lacquer from the Joan Collins Timeless Beauty range. I...
I'm rarely seduced by the idea of a body scrub. It's all a lot of hassle, isn't it? If you're relaxing in the bath then why would you want your finale to be a weird, standing-up scrub-applying dance routine? With your body in the cold and your feet still in the...
Oooh, we all need a bit of zing and zest to get us through January, don't we? Crap weather, dark, chilly mornings and a seemingly endless number of weeks until we get to anything exciting, calendar-wise. (What is the next good event after Christmas? The clocks going...
You may remember that in mid-December I started trialling the Regenerist Luminous Serum and Regenerist Luminous Brightening & Protecting SPF20 Moisturiser, both new products from Olay*. (If they haven't reached the shelves yet then they will be with you very soon,...
Something to note, before we embark on this little natural deodorant chat: I'm not a particularly malodorous person, in terms of armpits and sweat and so on. If I go completely au naturel on a summer's day, hop on and off the tube and do a few sprints up and down the...
Here we are with the December Dog and Beauty Favourites. I'm being silly with the dog part, of course; I only have one dog and so of course he is always the favourite. But as many of you will know, he was very ill throughout December and having him fit and well again...
Matte lipsticks seem to be getting better and better; softer, more moisturising formulas with great longevity and vibrant, non-chalky colours. I love the edgy, modern look that a matte lipstick gives but I hate having dry lips so any kind of scientific advance in this...
Well I must say that this fragrance has grown on me, if only a little. I couldn't stand it at first. It's not my type of perfume at all, but it has caught my attention somehow - perhaps because it's such a breath of fresh air at a time when many fragrance releases are...
I have been dying to start my latest skincare trial! For a whole month, beginning today, I'll be testing out two new additions to Olay's excellent Regenerist Luminous range*; a Skin Tone Perfecting Serum and a Brightening and Protecting Moisturiser with SPF20. You may...
A new makeup brand that could prove to be rather irresistible; Delilah Cosmetics. Chic, heavy packaging, wearable, flattering shades and beautiful textures that sit lightly on the skin but that still manage to do a brilliant job of enhancing features and adding the...
Now and then I like to do one of these "current makeup" videos just to demonstrate some of the products that I've been using the most. If a product has been used daily for weeks on end then (for me, at least) it must be pretty good and it's worth having a bit of a...
