What a clever, clever idea this is; a fully customizable moisturising and rejuvenating system that can be adapted to suit any skin type and any situation. Oily T-Zone and dry cheeks? Frazzled, sun-dried skin? Chapped, winter-bashed face? You can use iRejuvenate in all of these cases, and also as an intensive oil, a cool, light…
I’m not a huge fan of glitter – it gets everywhere and is difficult to remove. But I put my own hang-ups aside for the evening and recorded a very Christmassy makeup video using a selection of budget and high-street brands. One brand that stood out as being incredible value was MUA at Superdrug –…
You’ll be pleased to know that I don’t speak in this video. I have filmed so many things in the last couple of weeks that I’m actually sick of my own voice! This is actually my favourite Gift Guide video so far; it makes me feel really nostalgic and Christmassy. Possibly due to the soundtrack!…
No, the above picture is not of me – the reason that I’m showing you this picture is that MakeUp4All have a wonderful Christmas Issue magazine out – featuring yours truly! (I hate the term yours truly, but I couldn’t think of an alternative. It’s late. I’m fried.) Browse through the magazine HERE; it’s full…
A bit of French for you, there. But that’s as far as I’m going. I’m reasonably proficient, but it would take me far too long to look up grammatical quirks and word sexes. So we’re in English. A lot less glamorous, because we have phrases such as “cack-handed”, “b*stard” and “bugger up”, but effective nonetheless….
Volume 4, and it’s the Luxe Edition. Don’t watch this if you suffer from heart complaints or Can’t-stop-spending Syndrome. It could be dangerous. I’ve tried to pop in a few gift ideas that aren’t beauty-based, just to mix things up a bit. Enjoy! Shopping List: Chanel Sublimage Concentrate, £290 and Cream, £220. Sisley All Day…
This should have gone in my Stocking Fillers video, but it slipped through the net! Do you know why? Because it was in my pocket! I have been taking this everywhere as a multi-purpose balm, and when I was walking around New York in the bitter cold, I was actually using it as a bit…
I made a little video after I had been pulling at my lashes (that fateful week!) to cheer myself up, and I decided that I would go a bit ‘luxe’ and crack out the Sisley products! I love the Holiday palette with it’s wonderful bright blue against the silvery shades, and I decided to do…
I seem to have timed my Christmas Gift Guide instalments rather badly; as a result, you’ll be getting another three of these in quite fast succession! As this weekend is pretty much the deadline for Christmas shopping, I wanted to make sure that all the videos were up and running before Friday, but that means…
Remember my Vitamin E recommendation? You should do, it was only two days ago! I have a treat for one lucky reader (UK only, this time, I’m afraid!) and it’s a box-set filled with super-hydrating Vitamin E products! The Dr Organic Ultimate Hydration set includes the Vitamin E Face Cream, (see Sunday’s post), Vitamin E…
A few more ELF/e.l.f./eyes lips face things for you to have a look at, including a rather nice eyeshadow in ‘pebble’. The thing that I love most about ELF is that if you make a mistake with choosing a colour or texture, it’s not the end of the world. It allows you to experiment and…
Dear Burt’s Bees, Can you read? I’m not sure you can, being bees and all, but I’m going to write this anyway. Perhaps Burt can read it out to you. When you are all on your coffee/fag/lunch break, sat there on the ledge of the hive, wings folded, legs akimbo, complaining about your long hours…
Please all be upstanding for the foundation that has changed the way I feel about foundations: mymix foundation by myface cosmetics. (I am so not comfortable with all these new-fangled all-lower-case brand and product names. But myface I will forgive, because they are fantastic.) I have always been a bit of a foundation-hater – firstly,…
My skin has been taking a HUGE battering recently; long flights, late nights, freezing temperatures and lots of marathon walks around New York have totally dried it out. Add to this the fact that my house is buried beneath a thick carpet of building dust and that the central heating is cranked up to the…
Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat…and so will I if I’m not careful! Have done so much travelling, which means eating rubbish airport food and ‘desperation snacks’. (Anyone else do ‘desperation’ snacking? When you’re so hungry that your stomach feels as though it’s digesting itself?) I’m trying to counteract the snacking with a…
I’m pretty obsessed with ASOS – I spend a lot of time browsing on there. So I couldn’t wait to tell them all about what was on my Christmas ASOS Wishlist! Hint hint, Santa…. Read my ASOS post right HERE!
From the 12th-18th of December, Omorovicza’s senior therpaist, Adrienne Harsanyi, will be in residence at Liberty’s in London. She will be giving amazing hour-long facial treatments to Omorovicza customers for the price of £65, totally redeemable against purchase of product from the Omorovicza range. You may know already that I’m a huge Omorovicza fan (there…
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 recommend a…
