Slipping in with my summer posts just before summer comes to an end - I'm nothing if not reliably tardy! I still haven't done my 2019 sunscreens roundup and I remember setting aside time at the end of April to write that... It's fortunate that the majority of my...
This gorgeous pot of buttery face cream from The Body Shop has shot straight into my Sensitive Skin Good Buys category. I don't actually have a Sensitive Skin Good Buys category, but maybe I should create one, because products for sensitive skin are most definitely a...
"Hello! I hope that you are very well today! I have a question for you and I am hoping very much that you will be able to help me." This is how I speak when I'm on one of those live chat things. I honestly don't know what happens to me, I sound as though all of my...
I had a (mostly) baby-free afternoon last week and so I thought I'd film myself getting ready for a Jimmy Choo 20th Anniversary dinner that I was attending. This sort of video is widely known as - rather unimaginatively, but we'll let that pass - a Get Ready With Me...
If you're a long-term AMR reader then you might remember the days when the Sunday Tittle Tattle was a random mess of nonsense, spattered with crap pictures and trailing off into a couple of pet photos to keep the animal-lovers satisfied. Things seem to have become...
Any new pair of trainers will be box-fresh, I suppose, but this is my roundup of the ones that are extra lovely and crisp. White trainers look great with everything from summer maxi dresses to blue jeans; some might say that the Stan Smith era has peaked and that the...
I've long been a fan of Vita Liberata's Capture the Light skin perfector; it adds a tint, a touch of glow and somehow seems to blur imperfections, leaving your legs looking as though they are clad in some sort of invisible miracle tights. Capture the Light has been...
Here's an easy way to wear blue around the eyes without looking like a five year old in a beauty pageant: a few coats of mascara wiggled right into the roots of the lashes, top and bottom, so that there's almost a haze of colour defining the eye. It looks great on an...
A new, magnificent racehorse of a product joins the Colab Dry Shampoo* stable: Colab Active. I've been very excited about this one, not least because it will give me some motivation to do some exercise; a dry shampoo that has been formulated for gym bunnies, sports...
Well alright, not actually last night, a night about two months ago. Possibly longer, now. A Whisbear saved my life. Alright, it didn't save my life, but it did save my sanity. And to think - I poo-poohed the idea of even reviewing one, thinking that Angelica was far...
Starting the week with a new vlog. One with a ridiculous title - Haircuts and Butt Hinges - but I didn't have the energy to think of something better. I was so tired yesterday I barely had the energy to think of a title at all - the video was nearly just called...
I have three things to tell you, which sounds ominous but isn't at all. The things I want to tell you about are from the boring, administrative side of life, the side of life that involves finding postage stamps and printing off Amazon returns forms and checking...
My most-requested review of the year; not from readers, but from friends and family. Which is unusual, because most of my friends and family couldn't really give two hoots about beauty things! I suppose, though, that the Supersonic hair dryer from Dyson is far more...
Filming in my new office is not going well. Not at all. I can't really talk to Mr AMR about this as when the office was being designed (it's newly built and at the bottom of the garden) he asked me a million questions about whether such and such wall dimensions or...
I find it relatively easy and enjoyable to test and monitor the results of skincare for dehydrated skin; not only are these types of products usually light and fresh-feeling and suitable for use nearly all of the time, their effects are often pleasingly noticeable and...
