As summer draws to a sultry, overdue end I've been taking stock of the skincare products that have really cut the mustard this year - the ones I now use so regularly they've become an automatic part of my beauty routine. When spring starts (look at me, optimistically...
I don't think I've ever had so many questions and comments about a foundation as I have about the Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection. I photographed myself oh-so-casually wearing it on Instagram stories and it has made background appearances in some of my...
My summer skincare routine is here and it's slightly juicier than usual because a couple of months ago I had to do an almost unprecedented SOS u-turn on my whole beauty routine. I know you're ready to hear about it. We all love a bit of a disaster. Actually it...
Here are the June favourites, which means that I'm finally getting there with my admin catch-up! I'm going to keep this blurb short and sweet because quite a lot of the video is taken up by a review of some "period pants" and I'm doing a whole other post on those...
Let's get down to business, in the words of Captain Li Shang from Mulan. (Can you tell I've overdone it on the Disney+ channel binging? There's no Disney stone left unturned in this house. As well as devouring the classics, we've watched every prequel and sequel, some...
I am writing this whilst leaning back - reasonably heavily - on my cat cushion. Not a feather-stuffed, velvet-covered cat cushion, mind: it's a real life cat cushion. Living and breathing. Slightly more supportive than an inanimate one, if you must know. And the...

My five beauty favourites for the month of April - I've gone back to them again and again, enjoyed using them all and will be sad when they finally run out. Although if they're anything like my Medik-8 R-Retinoate I could be waiting a long time, because I just can't...
Well this is a very joyous revisit; I've reviewed Murad's brilliant Retinol Youth Renewal range before, but they've reformulated and relaunched it and it's now even more of a find. I say find, but this skincare trio (there's a serum, an eye serum and a sumptuous night...
I've been going to town on my skincare testing recently, after a summer of general beauty laziness, and I've been focusing on some of the more affordable, results-driven brands that have begun to really make waves in the industry. I've whittled it down to a great...
I get a lot of questions sent to me, either via email or through Instagram, and there are always a few things that get asked more than anything else. For the past year or so, that question has been (roughly) "I'm completely new to skincare, where the hell do I start?"...
