I had a (mostly) baby-free afternoon last week and so I thought I'd film myself getting ready for a Jimmy Choo 20th Anniversary dinner that I was attending. This sort of video is widely known as - rather unimaginatively, but we'll let that pass - a Get Ready With Me...
Haircuts, Homebase and Hinges…
Starting the week with a new vlog. One with a ridiculous title - Haircuts and Butt Hinges - but I didn't have the energy to think of something better. I was so tired yesterday I barely had the energy to think of a title at all - the video was nearly just called...
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer Review
My most-requested review of the year; not from readers, but from friends and family. Which is unusual, because most of my friends and family couldn't really give two hoots about beauty things! I suppose, though, that the Supersonic hair dryer from Dyson is far more...
Summer Makeup and Miscellaneous Ramblings
Filming in my new office is not going well. Not at all. I can't really talk to Mr AMR about this as when the office was being designed (it's newly built and at the bottom of the garden) he asked me a million questions about whether such and such wall dimensions or...
May Favourites
It has been a month of disappointments, beauty-wise; face creams that didn't cut the mustard, shampoos that ended up in the charity pile and a weird waterproof-mascara-remover that looked like an actual mascara (you brush it on from root to tip and leave the oils to...
Family Life and France Twice
I flew back to France this week for a really lovely job. The 4am start wasn't so lovely, but the shoot itself was brilliant - my first proper bit of filming, with full hair and makeup and so on, since having the baby. The stylist shoehorned me into the smallest corset...
France: What I Wore, What I Packed
Bonus post! Here's what I packed in my new suitcase for my trip to France. (The first one. For the second I might well be taking my little carry-on case, so that wouldn't be an interesting video. It's only large enough to hold one pair of shoes, one book and one...
On My Bedside Table…
I wasn't going to do a post today, it being a Bank Holiday, but I couldn't resist another opportunity to bang on about bedtime and sleeping! Ha. Just a chatty little video, here, talking about the things I have on my bedside table. Enjoy - back to beauty tomorrow. A...
April Favourites
There are perhaps a couple of familiar things in this month's favourites video; the l'Oreal Revitalift SPF25 is a new discovery and the review very recent, so probably still fresh in your minds, and the Hylamide Glow, a liquid face serum that imparts the most gradual...
Vlog: Cat Cuddling and Pictures from the Past
In this vlog edition (edition? episode?) I go to 10 Downing Street, pluck my eyebrows and cuddle with my cat. It's a jam-packed one, I'm telling you. We actually had a bit of a scare with Mr Bear the cat at the weekend because he managed to escape into the field at...
The (Affordable) No Foundation Makeup Look
I think that this has to be the most random video I've ever filmed. I just switched the camera on and waffled away and it was only because the eyeshadow palette I tested was so good that I added a proper intro to the start of the video and decided to make a go of...
My Cornwall Mini-Break…
Goodness, what an incredibly lazy post to begin the week with; but if I don't post this vlog up now I'll forget and then where will we be? Vlogless! A word which in English means without vlog and in Klingon means prepare for light speed. Vlogless. I had a wonderful...
