This is how I style my mid length hair now that it's slightly shorter than usual - it sits just below the shoulder. Obviously I use the word style in its very loosest sense because I'm about as wieldy with heated appliances as an elephant would be with a crochet hook,...
I've long been trying to find a word that describes the sort of life you have as a parent to young children; something that encapsulates the feeling of utter chaos, that conveys the sense that your life is very much out of your own control - a word that sums up...
OK readers, you know the drill with this one. For the ultimate Christmas (or birthday, or any occasion for that matter) gift, a gift that will surprise and delight and make the recipient think that you're the most thoughtful person they know, you need two ingredients....
Don't groan; there's another new title for my (defunct) monthly favourites that I'm testing. Basically the gist of what I'm trying to get across to people, via one lousy title that's really hard to decide on, is that these are the very best, most effective beauty...
Angelica: started pre-school in September and has aged by around eight years in just three months. I've never seen anything like it. I dropped her off a fine-haired, slightly apprehensive baby, and now she comes back home with all the sass of a teenager after a...
There's a new addition to L'Oreal's Pure Clay mask range and it couldn't have launched at a better time. The Pure Clay Soothing Mallow Mask has been formulated with more sensitive skin in mind which makes it perfect for winter-worn, partied-out skin that needs a bit...
Christmas Gift Guide for kids - a hell of a lot more enjoyable than compiling the men's gift guide, I can tell you! Although sifting through the tonnes of plastic crap to find nice stuff is a bit of a mission - plastic pots of goo, plastic bags filled with plastic...
I had forgotten how much I like this rich, instantly-soothing face cream from Chanel. It contains just ten ingredients (hence the Solution 10) and has been carefully and cleverly formulated so that it's suitable for even the most sensitive skin. No fragrance (a rarity...
I'm writing this post on the train to Paddington. My MacBook Pro, which is too big to fit on the pull-down table, is wedged sideways on my lap so that I'm having to type around a corner. My iPhone, which lasts approximately three minutes before running out of battery...
Here are the contents of my makeup bag, accurate to two weeks ago today. In all honesty, I'm not a huge fan of the Camo Luxe palette and so that has since been swapped out (for Tilbury's Vintage Vamp, if you must know, which is one of the greatest eye quads of all...
Best Beauty Buys with Nadine Baggott. There are a lot of Bs in that title - it's a good job Nadine wasn't named Brenda! I have two very professional, completely serious videos for you to catch up on. I promise you that there are absolutely no rude bits whatsoever and...
Here we go then, bang on time with my Christmas Gift Guides (I get lots of complaints when I leave them any later): we'll start with presents for the ladies in your life. Mums, sisters, friends and daughters or, alternatively, yourself. There's no shame in forwarding...
As I scrape the very last remnants of cream from the bottom of the glass jar, I find myself missing Herbivore's Pink Cloud Rosewater Moisture Cream before it has even reached the recycling box. Unusual for me, because quite a lot of the time I'm in a rush to try the...
The one you've all (maybe) been waiting for - the house tour. OK, so it's not a room-by-room reveal of the whole place, MTV Cribs style, but it's as much of a house peek as you're probably going to get. You can always see bits and pieces of the inside of my home on...
Here's the classic red lip but with a new way to wear it. Which makes it the un-classic red lip, I suppose. It's soft and diffused, the edges are patted down and blurry - it's easier and more wearable than the traditional hard-edged, punchy red lip but still vibrant...
