I tried out some great aftersuns on holiday - take note if you're off on your holidays or you've already been but want to prolong your sunkissed colour! I had loads with me (I made poor Mr AMR lug half of them in his bag!) but here are my favourite five. 1) Thalgo...
You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to keep a straight face when someone offers you a "five vegetable experience". Especially when you're lying on a treatment bed, trousers and top removed, draped in fluffy towels. But keep a straight face I did, even when I was...
NARS new tinted moisturiser has shot right to the very top of my 'favourites' list. I adore it. It gives the fresh and dewy finish that I love so much, but it's not heavy or greasy. It applies reasonably well on cleansed skin (usually I'd apply moisturiser before...
Treat time! I have a guest review for you today - the wonderful Jane from Modesty Brown (www.modestybrown.com) has given a thorough testing to Perricone MD's Radiant Skin Prescription set. Perricone MD is a brand that I rate really highly, but I have never been able...
I have spoken about this very special SPF before, but I don't think that it ever got its own post because it was in last year's summer skincare videos. There are two reasons why I'm re-visiting it; 1) I have been using it as a winter sunscreen on very bright, clear...
Liz Earle's Sheer Skin Tint has launched and I have been giving it a little test-run this week. Although it is slightly heavier in formula than I'd usually use, I have had so many compliments about my 'glowing tan' so I have worn it for four days in a row. I haven't...
You will have noticed that "High Five!" has become "Take Five..." which is far less gut-wrenchingly annoying. I can't believe, to be honest, that "High Five!" (with a bloody exclamation mark!) ever slipped through the net. I mean, it's atrocious. "Take Five..." is...
I have noticed that more often than not, eye creams don't have an in-built SPF. I always find this rather confusing, as the skin around the eyes is thinner, more prone to damage and signs of ageing - surely if there was anywhere you'd want an SPF, it'd be here! I...
"And here we have..." Bonjour! Happy Saturday! Here I am with my monthly round-up of beauty launches, favourite products, interesting and brilliant purchases...and I'm punctual as ever! Sit and have a cuppa and watch me blather on - you know you want to! Two things to...
I know that it seems bizarre to be writing about sun protection when the country is in the grips of a cruel winter, but I have a very good reason for this: a friend of mine (hello Emily!) is going travelling for four months to nice, hot places and has asked me to...
One of my most recent endeavours has been to get my hands looking absolutely soft and smooth. I'm talking contest-winning smooth - hands that look as though they have never seen the light of day, hands that look as though they've been preserved in some kind of...
