Ah, there's nothing that marks the passing of the seasons quite like one of my makeup bag videos. You could set your clock by them. (I'm being facetious, obviously; I never get these seasonal makeup videos out at the right time.) This (un)timely makeup offering is for...
A great decorating book to feast upon, if you're something of an interiors aficionado; Farrow & Ball's Recipes for Decorating* by Joa Studholme. It's an absolute visual delight. Whether you're a serial re-painter who loves to experiment with colour or a confused...
This post is what it says in the title: a post about my family holiday to the Lake District. We actually went in June and I meant to write it up then, but it takes me half a year to do anything these days. And it would have been completely forgotten had I not gone...
You may have seen my face popping up on your television screens recently; I was picked to be part of the brilliant #yourstruly campaign for L'Oreal's True Match foundation, celebrating the fact that the range now has 23 shades and that L'Oreal will be able to match...
I was a guest at Lily Pebbles' (amazing) wedding last weekend and - even though I was running a bit late - I decided to set my camera up on the windowsill in the hotel bathroom and film my makeup. This has to be the shortest "get ready with me" video ever produced,...
My cousin popped round to see me last week and (after we'd discussed just about everything from nasal hair trimmers and online dating to sofa suppliers and the likelihood of a housing market crash) she piped up with: "What's happened to the Weekly Window Shop on your...
Another mixed-bag favourites video for you; this one has a harrowing book (sorry), some bump-covering dresses (niche!) and a few brilliant skin perfectors that'll give you a flawless, glowing complexion. (Special mention goes to the new Bourjois blurring concealer...
For those who can't abide a glaring big white metal stair gate in their home (perhaps you're a mid century modern enthusiast like myself, or just prefer warmer hues and dark woods in your interiors), I have the answer: the BabyDan Avantgarde in Cherry Wood and Black....
There's a new, juicy foundation on the block - the Bright Glow Foundation from Burberry. Good old Burbs - they do that whole fresh, natural skin thing so well and their new face base is a brilliant addition to what is already an excellent foundation line-up. I think...
I was in Paris with the beautiful skincare brand Darphin the other week and decided that instead of having a blissful, baby-free lie-in at the hotel (Le Meurice), I'd set my alarm for 6am and get some filming done. What a berk. As it turned out, it didn't get light...
Listen, if you ever come to my house then you'll be pretty well looked after. I'll hang a nice dressing gown on the back of the guest room door. You can eat the last of my cereal, drink from my special mug, take the magazine part of the Sunday newspaper before I've...
I had around eighteen seconds to put together a washbag for my little mini-trip to the Isle of Wight and I thought it might be interesting* to show you what I packed in terms of skincare. You'll notice I've included a makeup product too; that's because the skincare...
I warned you that it was all go until Christmas: two new things for you to get excited about. If you like babies. If you don't like babies and would rather prong your eyeballs out with a fork than look at pictures of them, videos of them or read any kind of chat about...
I think that many of you might have guessed at this news already; trying to keep something like this a secret when you write about yourself on a regular basis (and appear in videos, in other people's videos and on Instagram!) is nearly impossible. Let's not beat...
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...
