First night of the holidays, and Mr AMR and I managed to drag ourselves out to dinner despite being absolutely shattered! I decided to do a bit of a sultry eye to compliment my rather glam leopard print dress (Baum und Pferdgarten) and cracked out Charlotte...
My current daily makeup look, featuring Chanel's eyeshadow palette for this Autumn, Poésie. I'm quite taken with this eye palette; at first I thought it might be too pearlescent and shiny for me, but the shadows seem to give a beautiful sheeny glow to the lids rather...
Monthly favourites are here again - the weeks are just hurtling by, aren't they? Before we know it, it'll be the C-word! (Christmas.) It's quite a sharp and to-the-point beauty edit, this month, partly because for half of it I was testing out the Genifique serum and...
I'm back with another Beauty Reviews video; this time it's Dior's new Diorskin Star Foundation that takes centre stage, along with a brilliant primer from Smashbox and an old makeup favourite, Pixi's Natural Brow Duo. I'll be talking about the Smashbox primer in...
This year Max Factor are celebrating 100 Years of Glamour. It has been a whole hundred years since Mr Max Factor (real person!) launched his first ever cosmetic, his Flexible Grease Paint Foundation. Max Factor was a bit of a mover and a shaker in the makeup world; he...

A massive load of people asked for a video using Clinique's new Matte Mandarin lipstick and so here it is in full, glorious technicolor. It was actually the entire "look" that I wore in my How to Style Greasy and Limp Hair video that people seemed to want and so I...
A still image from my latest video (a lovely one, it's about styling greasy hair!) and the light is hitting my eyelids in just the right way to show off the colours from the Laura Mercier shadow quad that I wrote about yesterday. How lovely is the pearly pink? It's...
If you follow my Instagram and Twitter feeds, you'll already know that last week I got to do something quite amazing and magical. After thirteen years in "the business" I'm not that easily impressed by fashion or beauty stuff (I've worn a lot of fine dresses and had...
Makeup obsessives in the Midlands REJOICE for Charlotte Tilbury* has only gone and opened up her second ever counter in BIRMINGHAM and I'm going to be there on FRIDAY! Sorry for the shouty capitals, but this news greatly excites me: Birmingham was my nearest city,...
