Here it is: my verdict on the Victoria Beckham makeup collaboration with Estée Lauder. What I like, what I don't - what I'd spend cash on and, importantly, how I'd wear it all. There's a video at the bottom of the page, which is possibly the key element of this...
August Favourites / Market Research
The August Favourites are in - but I have a burning question before you start devouring the various little beauty morsels I've prepared. It concerns video "thumbnails" (those little pictures that appear along with the title so that you know vaguely what you're about...
Sunday Tittle Tattle: We Were On A (Mini) Break!
Here's the vlog I made during my little mini-break with Mr AMR last weekend. Excuse the title, I've been trying to utilise that very famous Friends quote for many years and it just seemed to be the right moment. WE WERE ON A BREAK! Ah, how I miss the days of Friends....
Sunday Tittle Tattle: There’s No Place Like Home
Something weird happened to me just over a week ago and I wanted to put it out there to see if anyone had ever had a similar experience. This, admittedly, would probably be a post better placed on my baby blog, The Uphill, but that would mean logging out of this admin...
Chanel Le Rouge Collection No.1: On Video
I told you this week would be rather heavy on the Chanel, but I couldn't write about their amazing Nail Gloss without then going on to reveal the ins and outs of the new autumn launch, Le Rouge Collection No.1. (If you're astute and read between the lines, here,...
Sunday Tittle Tattle: The Bag That Lived In A Box
I've finally done my "unboxing" video after keeping my new Chanel bag hidden at the back of the wardrobe since early May. I'll admit that I've been too scared to open the box. Firstly because the bag was so bloody expensive and I find that if I buy something frivolous...
July Favourites
July favourites, including a response to some of the comments on my Best Budget Foundations video and one new product that I just don't get. I don't usually include dislikes in my favourites videos (mainly because they are supposed to be about things I love) but this...
My Top 5 Most-Used Foundations
I've used the term "foundation" loosely, here, because I mean it to incorporate other face bases such as tinted moisturiser, BB creams and complexion enhancers as well as the traditional high-coverage foundation. In truth, no BB creams or CC creams come anywhere near...
June Favourites: Books and Beauty
Beauty favourites were a bit thin on the ground, last month, but I did do quite a bit of reading so I've shared this video between reading recommendations and beautifying tips. The Anne Tyler book (here) is just a beautifully gentle, slow-paced novel, examining the...
Sheer and Natural Everyday Makeup
A very sheer and natural makeup look for you in this video - dewy textures, glowy formulas and a healthy, youthful sort of finish. Those thinking of investing in either the Hourglass Illume Trio or Becca's Aqua Luminous foundation might find it particularly...
Sunday Tittle Tattle: Coming Up Empty
I've had total and utter brain-fry this week. It's the first time that this has happened to me in a serious way, where I can't seem form proper sentences or kickstart the creative side of my head, and it has not been fun. Luckily I had my blog posts scheduled, more...
Easy Festival Makeup and The Quickest Smokey Eye
I've been a bit out of sorts for the past few days, so apologies for the lack of post yesterday, I know how many of you look forward to the Sunday Tittle Tattle! I'll be back into the swing of things shortly, but for now here's the latest video - a very quick and easy...
