Something new for you, this week; Friday's video will star a special guest! Many of you will already have met Caroline Hirons (virtually, at least); she's a beauty industry insider and a globally qualified advanced facialist and is a total wealth of information when...
I use the word "miracles" in the loosest, most tongue-in-cheek sense, of course. The only real overnight miracle is managing to get more than two consecutive hours of rest, what with the cat blundering around the bedroom like an elderly, blind drunkard and Mr AMR...
I've finally managed to get around to filming my Preparing for a Beauty Shoot video and I have a feeling that, in a small way, it may be something of an anticlimax. Because I don't have some kind of crazy twenty-five-step facial routine that I do before a modelling...
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...
An oft-requested feature, this one, but if you're looking for manicure tips then I'm afraid I'll disappoint. I rarely mess about with my own nails in terms of cuticles and so on - I file my nails when I need to, but for serious maintenance of the nail beds I go for a...
This post is very much a continuation of an earlier subject: I mentioned a couple of months ago that I had found a link between my bad skin breakouts and drinking milk. No milky, no breakouts. If you want to read more about that then the first post is here. Please do...
OK, so they might not be right at the lowest end of budget budget beauty finds, but all of the products in this video are extremely fairly priced. And good. I use the Weleda Calendula Bath quite frequently, now - it's not the most attractive product when it squits its...
Photographic makeup can be really, really hard on your skin; for a start, it's usually more makeup than you'd ever wear in normal life, but it's also reapplied and touched up and blended in. All of this rubbing and pulling and poking at the skin takes its toll after...
I filmed a Q&A session with Wayne Goss (makeup artist with a HUGE Youtube following, if you haven't watched him his channel is here) and thought that you might like a quick look. If anyone reading wants to get into makeup artistry then there's a...
I've done a little run-down of the top five skincare ranges of 2012. Now I'm talking about entire ranges here, not about individual products. If I did a top five products then the list might look a little different - this is a video about complete (or almost complete)...
Since I last mentioned my pustule-like spots, I have been using one skincare product religiously, and I suppose that is what the video below is all about. It wasn't until I pared my skincare routine right down to two products (cleanser and then the blemish treatment)...
This was a little video update on the state of my skin, but actually, I'm rather late in posting it here on the website. The worst of my skin problems seem to have passed for the moment (touch wood) and I have the breakouts under control! Woohoo. I'm going to do...
