Shopping the Stash: Old Makeup Favourites

Shopping the Stash: Old Makeup Favourites

My lovely sister-in-law came to visit me over the Easter weekend and, as she's a true makeup junkie, I decided to have a delve into my various storage boxes and drawers and offload some of my unused cosmetics. (Note that I say unused and not unwanted: I want...

Current Skincare Routine: Spring 2017

Current Skincare Routine: Spring 2017

I've updated my skincare routine; firstly because we're moving into the warmer months and there's the inevitable extra sun exposure, and secondly because I'm no longer pregnant and my skin is far less sensitive. I've started to add stronger and more active products...

Beauty Favourites: March 2017

Beauty Favourites: March 2017

Back to the beauty favourites - a good mix of body, hair, skincare and makeup this month. Oh, and some panty liners thrown in for good measure. I deliberated for ages (ten minutes) over whether to include panty liners - they're not exactly the most glamorous of items...

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Spring 2017

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Spring 2017

The title of this post suggests that you're about to see a load of limited edition makeup from the Spring 2017 collections: not so. Including the season and the year at the end of the title is just a way of me giving some sort of "time stamp" to a feature that I'd...

Sunday Tittle Tattle: My Dog Does My Makeup

Sunday Tittle Tattle: My Dog Does My Makeup

Last week I made a very silly video in support of Comic Relief's Red Nose Day; I asked* Dexter, my dog, to do my makeup. He did a pretty good job, considering he doesn't have any fingers, though you'll have to watch the video and decide for yourselves. Lots of...

February Favourites

February Favourites

The February Favourites, as promised; mostly beauty but then a couple of fashion finds that have cheered up my "capsule" wardrobe no end. (When I say capsule wardrobe, I mean it quite literally - I have only one pair of black leggings that don't hurt my c-section...

January Favourites

January Favourites

Excuse my blusher overload in this video - I got rather carried away testing that new Hourglass palette that everyone is raving about. (It's nice, very glowy, not for everyone. God forbid any of the powders catch you around the eye area - it's like putting a spotlight...

A Day In My Life: Toddler + Heavily Pregnant

A Day In My Life: Toddler + Heavily Pregnant

I really enjoy making the Day In My Life videos (so far I've done an "at home with baby" one and a "work day" one) and so when I knew I'd be at the Colab studio shoot last week I thought that it would be a perfect opportunity to film another. It was quite likely that...

December Favourites

December Favourites

This video wasn't supposed to go up until Sunday, but something odd and enthusiastic happened with my Youtube scheduling, so here it is: the December favourites. I spend almost the entire video wearing hair rollers, which is a bit weird, but there are some real beauty...

Ten Under £10: Glowing Makeup for NYE

Ten Under £10: Glowing Makeup for NYE

Well I do hope that you're all having a lovely little break? I'm afraid I'm doing a bit of a fast-forward to the future (albeit near future) and talking about the New Year - or New Year's Eve to be more specific - and some glitzy, shiny makeup that'll get you in the...

My One and Only Vlogmas

My One and Only Vlogmas

I intended to do a series of vlogs running up to Christmas (a practice commonly known as "vlogmas") but - unsurprisingly - I only managed one. So here it is, my one and only Vlogmas 2016. Highlights include a personal dining experience in my own home, courtesy of Hugo...

Sunday Tittle Tattle: Devon, Disney and Turning 36

Sunday Tittle Tattle: Devon, Disney and Turning 36

It was my birthday on Monday - I was thirty-six. I decided to ramble on about it a bit in a vlog, which I have stuck to the page below for your viewing pleasure. The day was a bit of a washout because Mr AMR was stuck in bed with a cough and cold - he very bravely...
