This is my roundup of some great budget beauty buys for skin, body and hair. Some of these are real gems! I've tried to include new products and not repeat myself too much - you can see a previous "budget buys" edition here: My Cheapest Beauty Tricks. (See also the...
The video below shows a very quick "outfit of the day" typed thing. It's a bit silly, really, but it does show you how I wore my cat vest on hols! The cat vest was £7.99 from H&M, if you root about there might be a few left.. I wore my Hanky Panky bandeau...
It's been a long while since I did a budget video. I was inspired to make this one because I have been judging products for the Zest Beauty Awards and there were some absolute gems from the high-street and budget brands. This is the first of two videos - the next one...
Just a very quick little video showcasing some Greek beauty brands. I visit Greece almost every year and I wanted to highlight some of the products that are easily available worldwide. I'm so sorry about the sound - after the cicadas disaster of the last one, I had to...
Some of you may have seen me appearing here there and everywhere in a little Youtube commercial for YSL's Teinte Touche Éclat. I've got the full-length version of my "section" embedded below should you want to watch it! Did anyone try the foundation when they were...
A new video for you. Actually not that new, it went up last week, but I forgot to write a post to go with it! Lots of little beauty essentials in this video, some of which you'll have seen before, some of which you won't. I should apologise in advance for the Cicadas...
I spend about 90% of my holidays wearing a bikini. I'm not sure that's even much of an exaggeration! I have the odd floppy t-shirt or cheapo dress that I sling on to wander off for lunch, or a cool, loose dress to wear at dinner, but most of the time, if I'm somewhere...
Do you have oily or combination skin (like me) that can sometimes feel tight and dry on the surface? I hate it when my face feels like that! It's my constant mission to find nice, light moisturisers that help to hydrate my skin without overloading it with oils. I...
Oh cripes! I forgot to post up this new video for you - it's pretty self-explanatory, though, and all of the product details are below the information box. SPF video and other skincare videos to follow soon. If you can't see the video in your mobile device, click the...
I shot a video with Babyliss recently, showing how to use their heated rollers. The results were incredible! I did have some help from a hair stylist (Bev C), but still. I reckon I can replicate this look at home! I have had these Babyliss rollers for years -I bought...
I have made a Lancome makeup video using some of their latest eye products - the Hypnose Star mascara, which is an all-singing all-dancing lash-building lash-separating mascara, and the Liner Plume, a cool little felt-tip-pen-style eyeliner. (Could I have actually...
This video! Blimey, it has taken an absolute age to put together! I wanted to film some of it in the rain and some of it in the sun, but it has taken WEEKS for the sun to appear! Now that it's finally out, we are all sat sweltering in London and cursing the fact that...
