I was going to do a written post on my postpartum hair loss, but actually you can see the sparse patches better on video, so a video it is. I’m thoughtful that way. And look I know that my hair loss isn’t drastic – not by any means – but so many people have expressed an interest…
I found a rather snazzy solution to my sofabed woes the other week and it has just been delivered. I needed a very occasional spare-spare bed that could be stowed away easily but that was more comfortable than a blow-up, and after hours and hours of Googling and internet-trawling I found the one above, the…
In my last post I brought you gifts for a “cosy night in“; now behold my Christmas present ideas for party animals, social butterflies and anyone who would appreciate a touch of luxury, a spot of decadence. Let’s start with a bit of sparkly Chanel, shall we? The classic Rouge Noir nail polish (right) and a…
Yesterday I brought you “September Empties”: today, September Favourites. Never say that I lack imagination. Tomorrow is October (I think?) so maybe there’ll be a change of theme. Ha! Some corkers in this video, though, including the brilliant new mascara discovery from Diego Della Palma. It’s honestly one of the best mascaras I’ve used in…
Oh my God, this must be the world’s longest house-moving-in session! Mainly because Mr AMR doesn’t want to touch or “ruin” anything so we have to bring boxes in gradually, unpacking and sorting as we go. So far we’ve managed to do about half a kitchen and “arrange” the odds and sods drawer in the…
Good God, I don’t half lose my thread a lot in this new video! Sorry! I had filmed a whole makeup tutorial beforehand but my camera card was corrupt and none of it came out – by the time I filmed this one, I was completely brain-fried and couldn’t remember what I had and hadn’t…
I managed to film a video! That’s something of a milestone for me, because although it has only been six weeks since Baby AMR arrived, I’ve felt a bit like my previous life was completely lost to me and I’d never again have the time to do anything other than sleep, change nappies and take…
A nice little hair video to finish off the week. I did a roundup of my most-used hair products – shampoos, hair masques, conditioners and so on – because people are always asking and I don’t often delve into the world of hair on my Youtube channel. Perhaps because I don’t really do a lot to my…
Some summer beauty products for you. I’ve done loads of these posts as I got a bit carried away doing still life photographs! In this one there’s a brilliant body moisturiser, a couple of very lightweight face hydrators and some other bits and bobs that have grabbed my interest. Can you tell that I’ve become…
1) Poor Dexter the Dog continues to be up and down with his little tummy problems; doesn’t he look small in this photo? I don’t know whether it’s the angle or because I’m so gigantically huge at the moment. Also: why am I so orange? I’ll tell you why; I was testing bronzers. All of…
Ah – nearly every single one of you answered correctly to my little giveaway question last week – I think I must have made the clues too easy! I asked which “city” (strictly speaking, it’s a principality) was represented by my brand new, glamorous-smelling Colab dry shampoo and most of you said Monaco. Well done. Winners…
I have devised a little giveaway to celebrate the launch of my newest Colab Dry Shampoo product which is, incidentally, my favourite so far. It was rather a labour of love getting the fragrance just right – it’s definitely one for the warmer months, all gorgeously mediterranean and sexy, very much inspired by some of the…
I love finishing stuff off. It gives me a real sense of achievement, which is…sad. Oh well! I’ve been saving up my empty bottles and tubes ready to do a series of little mini-reviews on the products, and it’s all recorded in the video below. There’s a lot of hair stuff, which is largely because I’m…
I went to my Mum’s for the weekend and in a quiet little moment to myself, thought I’d film a “What’s in my Makeup Bag” video. I haven’t done one in ages and I wanted to show you some of my current essentials, though I am something of a creature of habit and so you’ll have seen…
You can probably guess from the random title that I made a “vlog”: which is, to those who are (quite blissfully) unaware, a kind of video diary. Lots of people ask for them, I rarely have a day that’s interesting enough to make one. But yesterday I dashed about from pillar to post doing all…
For those who missed the December Favourites video: I have a new product launching into the Colab Dry Shampoo Range called Extreme Volume. You may have seen it creeping into stores this week and it’ll be online very soon indeed. The feedback on the original Sheer & Invisible formula has been absolutely incredible and I can’t thank you…
Now and then I like to do one of these “current makeup” videos just to demonstrate some of the products that I’ve been using the most. If a product has been used daily for weeks on end then (for me, at least) it must be pretty good and it’s worth having a bit of a…
Many of you (kindly) commented on how nice my hair and makeup looked in my latest video (click here if you haven’t watched it yet) and so I thought I’d do a little run-down on what I used. To wave my hair, the amazing Wicked Waver from Mark Hill, which looks like some kind of weird sex…
