Last week I had the pleasure of spending the day filming videos with mega-makeup artist extraordinaire, Caroline Barnes. Caroline works on the biggest A-listers and is an absolute mine of information when it comes to makeup tricks and tips – everything from plumping out lips to creating the dewiest skin finishes. I asked Caroline to…
Starting off the new week with a skincare video; here’s a roundup of the beauty products I’ve been slathering on my face in an attempt to beat the dreaded “winter dryness”. I think my horrifically dry and tight skin has been more down to being ill rather than the weather, because until very recently it…
Three luxurious body oils that each transported me, if I closed my eyes tightly, straight into the world’s most peaceful and nice-smelling spa. I’m all about transporting myself places at the moment – tropical beaches, quiet, dimly lit rooms with comfortable beds… First on the luxe list: ESPA’s TriSerum. I have no idea at all what…
I’ve done some preliminary research into cooling foot creams and gels before – you may remember last summer, when I praised the benefits of Weleda’s Foot Balm – but I had never really seen the point of them. Until now. Late pregnancy, one and a half weeks to go until my due date, legs that are the…
This skincare routine worked so well for my skin when I was away in Greece.

Hot Oil is one of those beauty products that seems very old fashioned, now, because it’s been around for such a long…
As promised, my April Skincare Favourites video. This time with a special guest, Caroline Hirons. Caroline is an experienced facialist and a professional beauty consultant and industry insider and, as it turns out, an excellent Youtube Buddy! There will be more video collaborations coming your way – we filmed quite a few in one day – but please…
Something new for you, this week; Friday’s video will star a special guest! Many of you will already have met Caroline Hirons (virtually, at least); she’s a beauty industry insider and a globally qualified advanced facialist and is a total wealth of information when it comes to anything skin related. Caroline has just set up…
This post comes to you via a veritable wonder-woman, Lauren; model, landlady of an uber-pub, ex-PR of an extremely famous rock-star, general glamourpuss and NEW MUM! She has been trying out Decleor’s Life Radiance Scrub which contains Jojoba Beads, Cardamom Seeds and Egyptian Luffa Fibres. What in the name of God are Egyptian Luffa Fibres?…
