At the very real risk of boring myself to death with the same makeup look over and over again I thought I had better jiggle things up a bit. There's nothing wrong with "sticking to what suits you" when it comes to putting your maquillage on but sometimes there's a...
I've been doing some quick little makeup videos on Instagram and Youtube and thought I'd start to share them here. I love before and afters, the transformation from normal to glam or from washed-out to a bit more lively. And this video just shows you the process in...
It's "neutrals with a hint of pink time"! Yes, that's right: whilst the whole world of social media experiments with the mandatory seasonal shades of russet and bronze, I'm still stuck in bronzer mode with a little bit of pretty pink to eradicate signs of tiredness...
Some lovely, melty-textured makeup bits that'll see you through the rest of summer and take you nicely into Autumn. Oh God! The A-Word! I hate myself for even using it, because the summer months are what I live for, but all good things must come to an end. Also, the...
Problems with SPF. We're wading through a few common issues with sunscreen, while the sun is out and people feel its relevant and topical. The thing is, sunscreen should be topical all year round, if you're at all worried about the effects of the sun on your skin, but...
Here's my current makeup routine, including a rediscovered foundation that's perfect for the summer months (ultra-glowy but lightweight and non-greasy) and what is possibly my all-time favourite mascara. I'm going to break it down into steps for you, but please do...
Here's a little updated video on how I style my shoulder length hair - regular readers have seen this all before, I'm not sure much has changed. The Cloud Nine curling wand is still the tool of choice (here*) - it's just the right diameter for the curls I like to make...
In an attempt to give all of my Instagram videos a safe and permanent home (ie, at a place I actually own, not a platform I have no control over) I'm slowly getting into the habit of uploading them onto Youtube before embedding them into blog posts here on the...
I'm on Bridgerton Season 2 Episode 3 and have been gripped by what I can only describe as "heaving bosom fever". (Why am I only on episode three, you may ask? It's because I can only watch Bridgerton when Mr AMR is away because we like to watch something together in...
I branched out in this Hush try-on video and decided to try a couple of things that were slightly out of my comfort zone. By "out of my comfort zone" I'm obviously not talking about anything extreme - no neon hot pants and nipple tassels here - but there were some...
Hello! It's been a while. The month-long pause to "write a book and spend quality time with the family" seemed to very quickly and easily turn into a three-and-a-half-month break from the blog that has proved quite difficult to come back from. I was planning a bit of...
I'm clocking off for Christmas now, but not before I present you with this month's favourites video. It actually straddles two months (oh, how I've always longed to use the word "straddled" in a non-sexual sentence!) because I missed November's favourites out...
