It is always a pleasure to feature products from Alpha-H; their effective, problem-solving skincare has never failed to impress me. In fact one of their hero products, Liquid Gold, gave me my first beauty "Eureka" moment - never before had I seen such instant results...
I look forward to any new launch from Dr Marko Lens' brand Zelens, but when it's two very potent and impressive serums, I really sit up and take notice. Dr Marko is a world-leading authority on skin cancer and regularly contributes to some of the most cutting-edge...
One of my all-time favourite beauty products has its fifteenth birthday this year and to celebrate I have a rather lovely giveaway! Alpha-H's Liquid Gold is a wipe-on-and-leave overnight treatment that's so incredibly simple and effective, it had me hooked from the...
This skincare routine worked so well for my skin when I was away in Greece. A little something pre-SPF (the Decleor Tan Activator Serum, in the little glass bottle) and then something balmy and soothing for afterwards, when all of the sunscreen and sand and salty...
Body washes are never the most thrilling beauty products to write about, but this little number from Weleda very much deserves a proper mention. It's difficult to find shower gels and body cleansers that are gentle and non-drying but that actually work; lots of the...
I realised that I'd spent most of the summer so far banging on about oil-free "weightless" sunscreens that "disappear into the skin" and "don't leave a residue". But there are people who don't particularly want a weightless sunscreen; they want to feel as though...
**UPDATE: chosen testers are Harry (h.nortonshaw), frances.barcelos, bethanrabjohns, dianalloyd5 and Andrea Lutton. Thanks to everyone who left a comment, I wish I had hundreds of these sets. (I'm working on it!) Testers; you'll receive an email shortly from La...
Oh, my Beauty Heart, be still, be still, be still! Do summer palettes get much prettier? The Terra Tropica from Guerlain is definitely right up there with the most desirable makeup morsels of the summer. And this is full summer - high summer - that we're looking at...
Some lovely, summery skincare bits and pieces that I've been trying. I've probably harped on about the MD Formulations Moisture Defense (right of photo) quite enough by now, but just to recap: weightless skin hydration with a load of antioxidants packed in. Perfect...
1) I went to Provence with l'Occitane last week. I had dinner inside the amphitheatre at Arles! It was really quite special - all candlelit and atmospheric. Proper post to follow - I need to move all of my photos from my laptop to my big computer, which could take...
I have attended the Audi Polo Challenge for the past three years now; it's a very smart invitation-only affair with cocktails and champagne and, of course, the high-octane, thundering-hooved spectacle that is a polo match. But this year there's also the Audi...
Sorry, I was late with the video and I'm even later with this post! It's quite a mish-mash, this favourites video; jewellery, sunscreens, a pair of ballet pumps... You can read more about the wonderful lightweight sunscreens in last week's post here and I'll be doing...
