Just to go alongside the "What's In My Makeup Bag" post that went up earlier on this week; a snoop inside my handbag. My sister said when I took these photos - and I quote her directly - "this is the sh*ttest What's In My Bag ever! Where's all the makeup stuff?" But I...
I love poking about to see what other people have in their makeup bags and in their bathroom cabinets (though that never goes down to well if you're caught red-handed!) and so it was a joy to film this video with my friend and professional celebrity-polisher-upper...
There are so many beautiful makeup morsels out there at the moment, so I've done a bit of a "Fantasy Christmas" roundup. Obviously if this was actually the contents of my handbag I'd be a bit stuck - no keys, no money, no phone - but at least I'd look presentable! The...
Below I present to you the "What's In My Bag" video that sparked off a plethora of annoyed comments. I think maybe I'm not quite cut out for these "tag" videos. I have no clue how to do a haul without boring people to tears, my boyfriend/husband is never going to do...
Excuse the rude-ish hand gesture here - I'm putting lip-gloss on, not giving you all the finger! My third and final video shot in my New York Hotel - this time it's makeup, and rather heavy on the old Urban Decay products. I say 'old', but in actual fact many of them...
OK, this is how it works: as I potter along doing my beauty research stuff, testing everything in the world from eyewateringly expensive face creams to the cheapest brow gels, I make note of any brilliant bargain beauty finds I come across. Until I have five of them...
It's been a while since I did that thing where I launch a series of videos with the intention of creating regular, seasonal content but then inevitably fail to keep going after a few episodes: so here's a new one. The best of the beauty launches. I'm actually very...
The phoenix has landed, the cat is on the lead, the dog is at the dinner table and the chicken is a cover star. Sounds like a slightly odd lesson from one of those secondary school French listening tapes (ecoutez et repetez!) but it is, in fact, my latest magazine...
Where have I been? You might well ask. Just the small matter of a lopped-off wisdom tooth and a sewn-over gum. Who would have thought that such a small area of the body could cause such widespread havoc? I swear I can feel the throbbing in my toes during the hour that...
Goodness me. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the effort that's gone into designing these Guerlain Rouge G lipstick cases? Rouge G has always been a favourite of mine, with the slide-out lip colour and pop-up mirror. It weighs about the same as a four-oven AGA,...
I've been back on the foundation testing train (first scheduled stop, Dior's new Forever Perfect Mousse, toot-toot!) but before I hit you with a slew of in-depth reviews, let's talk about the chunky brush I've been applying my bases with for the past few months....
I'm still keeping myself amused with the bobbly-shafted Wonderball waver from Lee Stafford. Not in the biblical sense - let's keep things clean! - but it has been presenting me with plenty of opportunity for a bit of immature banter. "Have you felt my cool-touch...
