Beauty Favourites: August 2017

Beauty Favourites: August 2017

I'm still keeping myself amused with the bobbly-shafted Wonderball waver from Lee Stafford. Not in the biblical sense - let's keep things clean! - but it has been presenting me with plenty of opportunity for a bit of immature banter. "Have you felt my cool-touch...

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Summer 2017

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Summer 2017

You must watch this What's In My Makeup Bag video, if only to see my miraculous hair transformation in the last twenty seconds! In one frame I have quite an uninspiring 'do - I'd just let my hair down from a mini-ponytail - and in the next, I have volume not...

A Week In My Life: August 2017

A Week In My Life: August 2017

I'm trying something a bit new on the video front: A Week In My Life. It's a sort of scrapbook montage of things that I get up to during the week, but it's all very informal and unstructured. As you know, I'm not a natural vlogger. I find the process quite...

Kent Traffic, Summer Parties and Dual Centre Holidays

Kent Traffic, Summer Parties and Dual Centre Holidays

People of Kent, a question: is it always so horrifically bad trying to get back into London through the Dartford Tunnel? Every time I've done it there have been huge queues - a few odd times over the years, but four times in the space of the last two weeks. Always...

Sunday Tittle Tattle: The Forgotten Vlog

Sunday Tittle Tattle: The Forgotten Vlog

I've spent so long dithering about the things I want to change in my videos that I completely forgot to post up one that I'd already made! Thank you, by the way, for all of your wonderful comments on the video-making post - I'm reading through them now and they're so...

My Essential Summer Beauty Products | AD

My Essential Summer Beauty Products | AD

Some of my summer beauty essentials for you here, all neatly packaged into one (relatively) concise video. Note that I use the word "essential" very loosely; perhaps the only real summer beauty essential is sunscreen, followed by a good, robust cleanser to get it off...

The Easiest Smokey Eye Ever…

The Easiest Smokey Eye Ever…

In this video I show you the easiest smokey eye ever. I realise that's quite a claim, but I honestly can't see how an eye look could be any simpler than this: you draw on the eye crayon (it even uses a crayon, for Pete's sake!) and then smudge it out with a brush. It...

Sunday Tittle Tattle: A Day In My Life

Sunday Tittle Tattle: A Day In My Life

Look, I've already posted this video over on my baby blog, The Uphill, but it takes me ages to do these "day in the life" videos and so I'm touting it out. It's an entire day in my life with "two under two" (New Baby Ted was just nine weeks old!) and has cameos from...

Beauty Favourites: May 2017

Beauty Favourites: May 2017

There's rather a summery theme to this month's beauty favourites; it feels a little early in the year to be cracking out the sunscreens and the beachy scents but we've had a run of hot days and so I've been in all-out floaty dress and flip-flop mode. Talking of beachy...

Hot Days, No Work and Sex in a Lay-By

Hot Days, No Work and Sex in a Lay-By

I indulged in a spot of clickbaiting at the weekend. I simply couldn't resist it. Mainly because I was looking forward to the comments from people utterly incensed that I would dare use the word "sex" in a video title (disappointingly few, I must say - I obviously...

Five Foolproof Bronzers for Fair Skin

Five Foolproof Bronzers for Fair Skin

  My last post (for now!) on fair/foolproof/hint-of-sun bronzers. I realise that I'm at the risk of boring to tears anyone who doesn't need, want or suit them, but at the same time I've been trying to work systematically through my beauty backlog and Subtle...

Beauty Favourites: April 2017

Beauty Favourites: April 2017

Did you ever play a game when you were little called Kim's Game? We used to play it at Girl Guides. It probably has loads of different names and ways to play it, but our version was this: you'd have a tray with a load of objects on (things like pens and buttons and...
