I really need to get some kind of video-posting system going; I publish a video and then it takes me about five weeks to write about it! I am mid-way through a website re-structure (if you ever come to the site during the witching hours (2am-4am) you'll no doubt see...
I'm not a great believer in face wipes, but these are face swipes, not face wipes, and that makes them a-ok. I jest of course; but there's far more to this little packet of beauty tissues than just a jazzed-up name. For a start, they're nothing like your...
I have just finished a month-long testing session using Lancôme's best-selling serum, Advanced Génifique*. Actually, it was slightly more than a month; I managed to tip out the very last drops of serum on day 34, which I thought was pretty good going considering that...
This week I asked the lovely Martha (@NailArtistMartha) to test out NailsInc's newest launch for me. It's called NailKale. Which has a nice ring to it, I'll admit, a good old-fashioned rhyme; but the sceptical part of my brain (97% of it) is screaming PLEASE DON'T TRY...
I realised that I'd spent most of the summer so far banging on about oil-free "weightless" sunscreens that "disappear into the skin" and "don't leave a residue". But there are people who don't particularly want a weightless sunscreen; they want to feel as though...
Last week I wrote about Aurelia's amazing Firm and Revitalise dry oil; this week it's Roger & Gallet's Huile Gourmande that's taking centre stage. Or I should say that it's the scent of it, the Fleur de Figuier that's taking centre stage; it's quite a loud and...
I asked Lily from LilyPebbles.co.uk to tell me about her favourite summery nail polishes and then - try not to die of excitement here - I told her all about mine! Granted it's not one of my top ten conversational topics of choice, but we were supposed to be chatting...
This electric pale blue eyeliner is completely out of my comfort zone but I really, really like it. I was only playing about when I tried it on the lower waterline but then I looked in the mirror* and wham! Love it first sight! I think that it's really fresh and...
A much-requested video; half the world now seems to be obsessed with the mysterious delights that are kept locked up in the legendary French Pharmacie. I don't tend to go pharmacy shopping as much as I used to, and that is mainly because the things that I used to...
I made a nice little bronzing video for The Telegraph this week; I was trying to channel 1990's Kate Moss, so very dusty bronzed skin with nothing much on the eyes or lips. I put to use one of my favourite summertime products, Chanel's Tan de Soleil, which is a cream...
Excellent news for people looking for well-formulated skincare at reasonable prices: Geraldine Howard, founder of luxe brand Aromatherapy Associates, has created a special range for Sainsbury's. This isn't breaking news, I'm afraid - I think that the range might have...
It's pricey, but there's no escaping the fact that Aurelia's Firm and Revitalise is one incredibly nice body oil. It feels like such a treat; the smell is just out of this world and the texture is possibly the best of any "dry" oil I've used. It manages to be...
