Recently I've been experimenting with darker, more autumnal neutrals in my makeup looks. Sometimes they work, sometimes I end up wiping off lipstick and toning down my eyeshadow as I hurtle into town on the tube, but I'm enjoying the process at any rate. After months...
So many people commented on my makeup that I wore to the Burberry show that I thought I'd knock together a quick recreation of it on video. It isn't exact, I'm afraid, but that's partly because I didn't have the foggiest recollection of how I'd done it all in the...
I decided on a whim (saw some pictures of Gisele on the tube, thought "I want that hair") to take my hair darker. Being an impatient soul, I wanted it darker - dark! as dark as blonde can be! - right away. But thank goodness for John (Spanton - regular readers will...
You can watch the Spring Summer 2014 Burberry show live from this page today. It starts at 2.30pm sharp - don't be late! Burberry is one of my favourite catwalk shows - it's so polished, so polished, and I usually want just about everything that comes down the runway....
Bringing in a new week (and a depressing one for many, because it's "back to school" week) with lots of really gorgeous beauty finds. I'd draw particular attention to the REN offer that's currently running at M&S Beauty; a selection of six luxury travel samples...
"Budget" in inverted commas, obviously, because my budget picks never turn out to be quite as affordable as I hope they will be! I think that I just have expensive tastes, unfortunately. But these are still a darn sight more affordable than some of my usual bits and...
This routine takes things right back to the skincare basics. For many of you, it may be slightly too obvious, a bit "common sense-y" and for that I'm sorry, but I just felt that I wanted to get some simple skincare steps recorded on video. The importance of proper...
Some lovely summer scents for you, though we are now heading on into the autumn. Or will I be strung up for saying that? I'm just being realistic. We've had the best summer for years, and this is Britain, so something bad is bound to happen to the weather soon. Just...
To find out what the nicest thing was you'll have to watch the video. Sorry! It's an evil way of getting you all to watch my vlogs. Cackle cackle cackle... Scroll down and press the play button or, if you're on email, click here! If you want to subscribe to my vlog...
I'm becoming something of an expert at "getting things done". Setting myself goals and then simply doing what I need to do to get them ticked off the list. The key to this "getting things done" business seems to be to remove all distractions from one's vicinity. Take...
I know that my monthly favourite videos tend to be a bit sporadic, but I've managed to pull myself together and so here's my pick of latest beauty discoveries in full technicolor. Rather unusually, I'm wearing bright red lipstick - like or no like? I quite enjoyed it...
Possibly the worst of the summer skin problems is having to deal with excess shine. Shine either brought on by overactive oil glands or by sweating or both. Not the most glamorous of subjects, I grant you, but you're talking to the woman who wrote a whole post about...
