Here’s my Mum with her latest installment. I probably won’t feel the need to introduce her every time she writes something – in fact it might be wise to distance myself from her a bit just in case she writes anything outrageously slanderous. But for now; take it away Mother, the lawyer is on speed-dial…
Dior have officially relaunched their new Addict lipsticks; lighter and more sheer than the classic lipsticks, they contain 25% less wax with a gel ingredient in its place. For low-maintenance girls, this means a moisturising lipstick that is easy to apply, looks glossy and won’t look a total mess if applied slightly haphazardly! Die-hard lippie…
Here goes with today’s (barely awake yet) ramble! “Wooooo! It’s Friday! Not that that means so much to me, being self-employed. Every day could potentially be Friday really. Well that killed off any possible sense of joy/excitement/happiness. It’s a beautiful sunny day outside and I have to leave for my shoot in…nine minutes. Can I…
Today I went to Gielly Green to have my hair trimmed and blow-dried. You may remember the name Gielly Green from my shampoo and hair treatment review a while back – you can read that HERE. My hair was in desperate need of a cut – for various reasons, it hasn’t been trimmed in ages…
Last night I dashed into House of Fraser in the city to collect my Just Sheepskin Kensington Slippers and I put them on pretty much straight away. Well, not actually on the tube, but as soon as I got through my front door. I still had my coat on and had my bag slung over…
On Sunday I went on a bit of a day-trip with three friends to have a girly pampering spa-day. The only problem with this spa-day was that it was so incredibly busy (it was actually at a Center Parcs spa, more on that another time perhaps) that it was impossible to book in for treatments…
This video has been my most-requested so far. Everyone wants healthy, radiant and glowing skin and so I’ve pulled together a collection of skincare and makeup products that I use on a regular basis. Some of them are quite dear, so sorry about that! I’ll be filming a more budget-friendly version very soon, but this…
Are these compacts not just a thing of extreme beauty? The gold compact (phyto-touches ‘sun glow’) looks like a sleek, vintage cigarette case and the funky leopard-print (phyto-poudre compacte) is like something you’d have found in Marilyn Monroe’s clutch bag! I have got really into compacts over the last few months; after seeing on video…
One of my all-time favourite winter bronzers is now £4 on Avon. FOUR POUNDS! Earthen Rose is a pale, matte bronze – I have no idea why Avon class it as a blush, but whatever: I love it. If you go back through my videos you’ll see me using it countless times. The picture above…
A warm welcome, if you please, for My Mum. She has just turned 60 and has the skin of a baby, and so I have roped her into sharing some of her secrets. She’ll be appearing on here every month and providing us with top tips and possibly some anecdotal material. Like me, My Mum…
Whoo! This one’s gonna divide you: who’s for Liquorice toothpaste then? No ordinary Liquorice toothpaste; this is Marvis’s Amarelli Licorice Toothpaste, and I, for one, love it. It’s like brushing your teeth with melted down Blackjacks except that it doesn’t stain them black or (importantly, for a toothpaste) rot them. Before you completely write me…
I had such a brilliant evening on Tuesday – I went over to QVC in Battersea to do a screen-test! It was Liz Earle’s 15th Anniversary selling product on QVC and to celebrate she invited some beauty-fanatics to come and see a live show, drink a bit of champagne and do an audition. I love…
Today’s Friday Flash Review is Smashbox’s “In Bloom” Eye Palette. You may have guessed that from the post title, which says “Smashbox Eye Palette”. “Ooooh. An eye palette. An eye palette with a proper brush. That makes a change from the usual crappy foam applicator you usually get with eyeshadows! The brush even gets a…
Holy Crappolata! Yes it is me, and I am quite aware that I look as though something terrible has happened to my face. Perhaps, you are thinking, she has had some kind of eyebrow surgery? Had her eyelids removed and replaced with ill-fitting paper ones? No! I’m just sporting a fine pair of Institut Esthederm Patches,…
Come on in, welcome welcome! I am so pleased that you could all make it to my “Model Fitness and Health” launch party! It’s not going to be a very long party, unfortunately, because the village hall would only rent me the room for ten minutes, but that probably suits you all down to the…
Ah. End of an era. My Caudalie Huile de Bain Drainante & Relaxante (I’m sure you can work that one out!) has finally come to the end of its lifespan. I have just squirted the very last drop of oil into my bathwater and, whilst my bath finishes running, I thought that I’d write this….
I can’t believe that I forgot to tell you all this, but I’m going to be appearing at the Ideal Home Show today and next Tuesday! Along with the infamous Pixiwoo sisters, Tanya Burr and Wayne Goss, I’ll be on the Beauty Hints & Tips expert panel talking about simple and easy hair and makeup…
Burt’s Beezzzzzzzzz have launched a new collection of body lotionzzzz with 24-hour moisturisation. Because I rarely go 24 hours without having some kind of bathing session – whether it be shower or bath – I can never test these kind of claims out properly. I mean, would my skin feel freshly moisturised after 24 hours,…
