In a recent post I told you all about how I remove my hair, which I’m sure you found both thrilling and mildly arousing. (JOKE!) Hopefully you weren’t eating at the time, because all that talk of nether-regions could have quite turned your stomachs! No private parts today though, today we’re all about razors. I…
Could Estée Lauder please stop making covetable, summery things? And while we’re talking summery things, could this Adventure Color Palette actually be any more summery? On-trend coral, an expensive-feeling gold trim and beautiful bright shades for eyes and lips inside. This palette is a Travel Exclusive, which means that you can only pick one up…
Lots of people have been asking me which cleansers are appropriate to use with the Clarisonic and so I have been doing a little experiment, trying out various products and seeing how they fare! If you haven’t heard of the Clarisonic before then take a look at the new Mia version which has just launched…
Do you remember Baby Harajuku? If not, read HERE. Harajuku Lovers are collectible fragrances, each with a different character bottle-top. I remember saying that the Harajuku fragrances would make ideal presents for girls in their teens (or later – they appeal to me too!) because they’re cute in a very cool way. The actual fragrances…
I love wasting time on the internet filling out forms and questionnaires so long as people don’t start asking for my phone number, address, date of birth and so on. Yesterday I spent a few minutes having a Space NK Skin Consultation – you just answer a few questions and the screen is filled with…
I am, in fact, mid-way through a StriVectin challenge which means that I can’t use anything around my eyes other than that, but I recorded this video a couple of weeks ago when I was having a bit of an “eye Cream Mania’ moment. I have so many eye creams and they have always been…
I am so proud of my big brother and little sister that I could just BURST! Big brother Dan has his work in an exhibition this week at Birmingham’s Custard Factory – I’ll be going on Saturday, I can’t wait! Some of Dan’s paintings are reproduced on the flier below: Little sister Kate, aka Crilly…
I can’t help getting excited about products from Institut Esthederm – absolutely everything I’ve tried has been brilliant. (Did you know that Bioderma is part of the same group?) A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of being talked through Esthederm’s Molecular Care range – targeted skincare for specific conditions or ’emergencies’ that contains…
An oft’ asked question is: “how do you go about hair removal for bikini or lingerie shoots?” This is quite a good question because I usually only know about lingerie jobs at very short notice and so my hair removal methods are chosen accordingly. I can categorically say that I have never ever had a…
Sisley makes it into Moneybags Monday again, this time with its Fluid Sun Cream for the body. Offering a sun protection factor of 30, it has a double UVA/UVB filtration system as well as the ‘powerful botanical moisturisers’ shea butter and cucmber. Shea butter and cucumber! Where are Sisley shopping for their ingredients? The Angel Gabriel’s…
I do find Lavender very relaxing and sleep-inducing. Along with my Tea of Great Tranquility (see HERE), Tisserand’s De-Stress Bath Soak has become one of my little evening rituals. It doesn’t dry my skin out and the ingredients are nice and natural. The lavender content is pure essential oil, not some horrible synthetic-fragrance-version of lavender….
I know that it’s not the 6th of April today, so sorry if that causes any confusion. (All over the world there are probably jumbo jets crashing and ATM machines spilling out billions of dollars because of my little date-glitch! Imagine.) I just didn’t have enough space to post this on the right day, so…
I think I may have got this year’s ‘comfy summer sandal’ sorted. Already. Usually I wait until about July, when it’s sweltering hot and all of the sandals have sold out, so I’m pretty proud of myself. Bertie have some very funky shoes in for this summer, but I went for quite a sensible style…
We are having a very early summer here in London – on Thursday it reached 25ºC! It’s all a bit of a surprise, and I can imagine that there will be a lot of burnt people turning up to work on Monday morning! Please don’t be one of them – it’s totally unnecessary in these…
Today’s Friday Flash Review is brought to you from the studio I’m shooting at – how very exciting! And that’s not the only change this week – instead of writing my review, I’ve videoed it! I’m not sure I like the video approach – it doesn’t give me as much freedom to ramble away and…
In 2003 I appeared in three hour-long TV programmes called This Model Life. If you’re old enough, you’ll have seen them the first time round – episode one saw me jetting off to Tokyo, episode two to New York and three at home in London. This Model Life is always repeating on bizarre channels all…
Will another beauty brand be able to top this bronzer in 2011? I think not. Just look at it! A palest-pale bronzer made to look like sea-rippled sand, and a coral sea star with subtle shimmer. I was excited about testing this out for the first time, and it didn’t disappoint. I’m always on the…
I have really been impressed with my Pai Echium eye cream – for the full review click HERE. Anyway, whilst browsing for more sensitive skin saviours (nice feature on sensitive skin should be with you quite soon!) I noticed that Pai offer a free sample service. Well, I say free, but you have to pay…
