No7’s Spring-Summer collection launches tomorrow, and there’s one particular item that I really like – and like against all the odds! It’s the Brigette, a pale, lilacy pink lipstick in a pretty cardboard case. Now the reason that I say “against all the odds” is that this is a really difficult colour to wear –…

Congratulations to: Rachel (email begins: violet…), Rebecca (email begins: s0507..), Kirsty, Clara, Maxine, Britta, Michele, Katja, Geisharock and Tiffany who have all won a gorgeous Kitten Vixen lipgloss! You have all been emailed – most have replied, but please check your spam folder if you can’t see your email! There’s another Giveaway coming up VERY…

It’s a little early to be thinking about sunglasses, granted; but I really want these. They’re chic, slightly retro and a tad more glamorous than the usual plain-framed aviators. I only wear sunglasses for about twenty days of the year, because I have a bit of a hang-up about them. I always think that I…

I like this Facial Polish from Pinks Boutique. Made from 100% natural ingredients, of which an impressive 81.5% are certified organic, it’s very light and non-greasy, despite the abundance of oils and butters included in the formula. What I like about it is that it rinses off completely clean – no residue left behind whatsoever…

Back to New York, because there are still a few more things that I want to tell you about my trip and keep forgetting to! We’re beauty shopping again, and we’re going from C.O. Bigelow’s to Ricky’s – from the traditional apothecary to the modern beauty supply store, and also from slightly wary staff, to…

The picture doesn’t do them justice, but I have to tell you how pleased I am with my new Paige jeggings. They’re soft, comfortable and supremely flattering. Unlike many cheaper jeggings, they are structured and have clever stitching features that support and slim the legs and bum. I love them and you will no doubt…

I’ve just stayed in a great hotel in Germany, the ‘Hotel Friends’. I have to admit that when the taxi pulled up outside I was a little dubious; the hotel looked as though it was over a row of shops, and there was no lobby on ground level. Entering the hotel felt like going into…

I really enjoyed writing last week’s Friday Flash Review – spontaneous, rambling and somewhat therapeutic. For me, at least. For you, it probably made no sense and was about as helpful as a hysterical hippy in a hostage situation. (That was off the top of my head – this is Friday Flash, and it’s all…

Yesterday I spent a marvelous afternoon at the Athenaeum on London’s Picadilly, having afternoon tea and a REN facial treatment. Before I go into any further detail, can I just draw your attention to the beekeeper in the above picture? Have you ever seen a happier face? He looks absolutely pleased as punch to have…

I’m always asking makeup artists lots of questions. I mean lots. From the minute I step into the makeup room, I’ll be poking about in all of the products, talking at a million miles an hour about new launches and favourite eyeshadows and best foundations. I have a feeling that I drive them slightly potty…

I have been using this facial wash for over a week now, and I can’t believe that I have only just found out about it. It’s pretty dear for a facewash (£27.60) which is probably why I have ignored it in the past, but this month you get a free full-sized Balancing Lavender Toner with…

I’m going to be writing about Becca cosmetics quite a lot in the near future – it’s a brand that gets used so often on me at shoots and I have a few firm favourites of my own that I want to share with you too. It might take me a week or two to…

I hadn’t ever tried anything from VIE before this Skin Sparkle set. I do have products that are waiting to be tried, but there is something about the packaging that I find generally quite underwhelming. Maybe it’s the lids on the tubes, I’m just not sure – because the styling is very clean and minimalist…

Try getting these babies through airport security! They look pretty scary as far as ‘things you put near to your eyes’ go, and I was slightly scared about trying them out. Newsflash: they’re brilliant! I think that I may actually prefer using this type of ‘precision’ tool to the usual flat-ended tweezers! I’m quite good…

A couple of weeks ago (it may have been the day after New Year’s day, when I went on a fever-induced online shopping spree) I signed up to ASOS Premier. Now normally when a shopping site ‘prompts’ me to sign up for some kind of extra service, I click ‘cancel’ without even reading the details,…

Maybelline’s Instant Anti-Age ‘The Eraser’ foundation launches at FeelUnique.com tomorrow and a sample of it landed on my desk this morning for me to try. (It didn’t literally land on my desk, because that would be plain weird. How would the post-lady (Dawn!) be able to throw the package in such a way that it…
