I really can’t quite believe that it has taken me this long to put this video together! I suppose I thought that some things were a bit obvious, but then I realised that I had just got so used to using them that I took them for granted! Anyway, these are my six top beauty…
I can’t quite remember whether StriVectin challenged me, or I challenged StriVectin, but there’s some kind of challenge going on somewhere in some form! Basically, StriVectin have given me a massive tube of Intensive Concentrate and asked me to test it out for a couple of months to see what it does. I’m pretty sure…
***UPDATE: We have five winners! They are, in no particular order; Louisa McNally, Frankie King, Hazie94 (who I think I emailed as Hazle!), Jo Winter and Shelley Bennett. Well done – such nice warm weather to enjoy a cooling roll-on!*** Oooh, nice – I have five of these lovely Eye Roll-Ons from Lavera to give…
Calling female Londoners between the age of 25 and 55: 1) Do you use a body moisturiser? 2) Are you free on Monday 18th April from 6-10pm? 3) Do you want to make £75 for chatting about beauty? My friends at Sense (here) in Soho, London, are working on an exciting new project for a…
I have been using these e.l.f. Mineral brushes quite a lot recently. They’re made from Taklon which is synthetic so they’re 100% cruelty free, and the handles are made from bamboo. All-in-all a good choice if you’re looking for an eco-friendly brush. As always, I feel I have to be completely honest with you and…
Until the end of last year I had absolutely no idea what these reed things were supposed to do. I understood that the reeds were supposed to soak up the scent from the bottle and kind of waft it around the room, but I didn’t understand why you’d want a jar full of twigs sat…
After the let-down that was my “Garra Rufa” fish pedicure (click HERE to read more) I was hankering after a proper, full-on pedicure. Not just a ‘file and paint’ or a bit of a tickle with some crappy Strawberry Delight foot-scrub, but a well-considered and thorough treatment. I wanted the hard bits of skin removed, the…
Recently I have been on the hunt for nice hairbands so that I can keep my growing-out-fringe out of my eyes. In all honesty, my fringe isn’t doing my head in that much – it’s growing out pretty well. Now that it’s a little bit longer and I’m not trying to force it to be…
A couple of weeks ago I got treated to a Fish Pedicure at a spa in Norfolk. I’m not going to tell you which exact spa, because at present we (three friends and I) are waiting for a satisfactory response to the complaint that one of our party wrote. Friend number 1, the birthday girl,…
That’s not me in the picture! My Nudie Kai jeans are en route, but I shall be taking pictures when I put them on! These Nudie jeans instantly caught my eye because – I’ll admit – of the price. When designer jeans now regularly cost in excess of £200, these ones at £89.50 seemed like…
I was going to play some kind of practical joke on you today, as it’s April Fool’s Day, but I haven’t the energy. Tricks have a tendency to backfire on me, so I’m playing it safe with a nice old “Face of the Day”. Here I am wearing: Origins “Quick! Hide!” Concealer, which I love…
“J to the L-O, hello! Yes, ladies, this is a fragrance by Jennifer Lopez, it’s called ‘Love and Glamour’ and not only am I going to get within three-hundred yards of it, I am going to spray it on myself. No doubt you can tell where I stand when it comes to celebrity fragrances? I…
Another month, another beauty round-up. Here’s a quick (ish) summary of this month’s launches and also a few inexpensive products that I have discovered and liked. Oh, and a few Mother’s Day suggestions just in case you had forgotten. As I say in the video, most mothers would appreciate any beautiful pampering treat, so have…
Klorane have a new addition to their range; a dry shampoo that actually helps to regulate sebum production! This is great news for anyone (like me!) who suffers from oily roots but normal/dry lengths. Using a dry shampoo eliminates those unnecessary hair-washes that you only do because the roots feel a bit dirty – it…
Last week saw the launch of Elemis Freshskin, a range of skincare products aimed at the 16-24 age group. This just adds to my long list of ‘Reasons Why I Want To Be In The 16-24 Age Bracket’, which includes “my knees wouldn’t creak like door hinges when I climbed up the stairs” and “I…
If you have ever wondered what I look like when I’m at work, then you can get a tiny, weeny glimpse in the video below. It was taken at the campaign shoot for Swatch, shot by Rankin. SWATCH BEHIND THE SCENES There’s a final movie that accompanies the print campaign – you’ll see me pop…
Please be introduced to my new cleansing love-object, Vaishaly. I say ‘new’, but I have had a secret crush on this cleansing balm for years, admiring it from afar. It wasn’t until last weekend, the day of the In-Spa Self-Facial (see HERE) that I realised what a true star this product really is – there…
I want to post up the email I received from Nati who won the Urban Decay cosmetics in the recent giveaway. It’s not very often that I get feedback (which is fine – I really don’t expect any!) but Nati sent me little reviews of each product she received. I thought that you might be…
