I'm partial to a bit of brown mascara for daytime makeup looks; often jet-black can look a little bold and stark, especially if I'm trying to keep things low-key. There's nothing wrong with bold, of course, and if you want your lashes to properly stand out then black...
The last few weeks of pregnancy have not been kind to me, not in terms of peace and restfulness, anyway. Firstly, my nesting instinct kicked in, but instead of me polishing and sorting out drawers I've been on a crazy work frenzy, sending emails at midnight and...
Not only did I draft this review at the beginning of the year and then forget to edit and publish it, I went to a load of trouble trying to obtain an old version of Dior's Diorskin Forever foundation so that I could do a comparison with this new one and then - about...
Bonus post! Here's what I packed in my new suitcase for my trip to France. (The first one. For the second I might well be taking my little carry-on case, so that wouldn't be an interesting video. It's only large enough to hold one pair of shoes, one book and one...
I'm doing a bit of globetrotting this week. Actually, it's more like France-trotting, or even, if we're getting really specific, south-of-France-trotting. I'm in Grasse until Wednesday night and then at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday and Saturday. The Grasse trip...
Last week I bought you a little edit of things non-kittenish, this week I present: FULL-ON KITTEN. And owls. And pretty floral prints. Let's start with Paul & Joe, shall we? They have something of a penchant for featuring cats in their makeup range and this...
Charlotte Tilbury's Norman Parkinson collection has been out for a while, now, but the launch coincided with the arrival of Baby AMR and so I couldn't really make as much song and a dance about it as I would have liked. My top makeup picks from the collection would be...
I mentioned this tinted balm right at the end of last week's "What's In My Makeup Bag" video but have used it so much that I thought it deserved a proper post. I hadn't tried a Dior Rouge Balm (or Baume!) before this one - where on earth have I been? I've looked...
Last week I dashed over to Paris to attend an amazing party that celebrated the launch of the Alber Elbaz for Lancome makeup range. You can read my post about the makeup here - I called the post Lancome in Lanvin's Clothing, which I thought was incredibly witty at the...
Here's a list of my absolute all-time favourite beauty products. If I had to fit everything into a very small suitcase and go and live on a desert island, then this is what I'd take. This list is subject to change, but it has been exactly the same for over a year so...
Random stream of consciousness coming your way, take a deep breath: "What's in my waste paper basket I wonder? I haven't delved in there for at least three months. For all I know there could be things living in there! A family of mice, perhaps, or a small tramp. It's...
OK, listen up people. Those of you who have been paying attention throughout my many videos will know that I had a favourite concealer, and that the favourite concealer was none other than Estée Lauder's Double Wear Stay-in-Place. If you weren't aware that this was my...
