5 Favourites: September 2020

5 Favourites: September 2020

In what might be considered the rebrand of the century, the monthly 5 Beauty Favourites feature has now become... *drumroll* ...5 Favourites. It took me a hell of a long time to come up with the new title format and so please do show your appreciation in the comments...

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Summer 2020

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Summer 2020

You might well point out that I'm a bit late to the party with this particular seasonal makeup update, but apparently we're in for a little heatwave next week, here in the UK. So there. I refuse to let go of summer! At any rate, why be so rigid about the seasons? I...

My Current Skincare Routine: Damage Control

My Current Skincare Routine: Damage Control

My summer skincare routine is here and it's slightly juicier than usual because a couple of months ago I had to do an almost unprecedented SOS u-turn on my whole beauty routine. I know you're ready to hear about it. We all love a bit of a disaster. Actually it...

5 Beauty Favourites: July 2020

5 Beauty Favourites: July 2020

Fancy a quick blast through the beauty things that have wowed me recently? Well buckle up, team, this is going to be quite the ride! I'm exaggerating, obviously, because it's just a post about beauty favourites so there are never going to be any significant potholes...

5 Beauty Favourites: June 2020

5 Beauty Favourites: June 2020

Here are the June favourites, which means that I'm finally getting there with my admin catch-up! I'm going to keep this blurb short and sweet because quite a lot of the video is taken up by a review of some "period pants" and I'm doing a whole other post on those...

May Favourites: It’s Basically Time Travel

I completely forgot to post up my May Favourites video and when I gave it a quick once over to see what it was all about, because May feels like a century ago, it was like travelling back through time. Travelling back to an era when I hadn't hacked off my own hair...

My Current Skincare Routine: Spring 2020

My Current Skincare Routine: Spring 2020

Here's the skincare routine I've been following for most of the season and I have to say that it has kept my face looking quite spectacularly fresh and bouncy, considering the stress levels and overarching sense of  fatigue that has dominated the past few months. (And...

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Spring 2020

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Spring 2020

I've just been scrolling back through all of my previous What's In My Makeup Bag posts and I stumbled across this particular beauty: the Summer 2018 edition. If you don't want to click through and read it then here's the gist of the matter, in image form: Isn't it...

5 Beauty Favourites: April 2020

5 Beauty Favourites: April 2020

My five beauty favourites for the month of April - I've gone back to them again and again, enjoyed using them all and will be sad when they finally run out. Although if they're anything like my Medik-8 R-Retinoate I could be waiting a long time, because I just can't...

My Best Supermarket Skincare Buys

My Best Supermarket Skincare Buys

Brilliant skincare buys that you can pick up in the supermarket. I won't dilly-dally about today with silly introductions and off piste distractions because I have limited time: I just hoovered up a load of moths with the Dyson and I don't want them flying back out of...

5 Beauty Favourites: March 2020

5 Beauty Favourites: March 2020

It seems a weird time to be filming a beauty favourites video, but what I thought would be even weirder would be for me to have made a big song and a dance last month about my favourites being back in town and then never doing another one! I even made that...

Ways to Beat Lockdown Anxiety and Stress

Ways to Beat Lockdown Anxiety and Stress

I don't think I've ever properly suffered with anxiety - stress is more my thing, though I'm sure the two are somehow linked - but the current coronavirus situation is enough to make anyone as tense and panic-ridden as a hedgehog on a highway. So there are a few...
