I don't tend to get excited about lipglosses (apart from crystal-clear pristine ones, see Gloss Prodige in the last "Thing of Beauty" feature) but the new Urban Decay Ultra Nourishing ones have really grabbed my attention. It helps, I suppose, that they are packaged...
There are few things as satisfying, beauty-wise, as a pristine, crystal-clear lipgloss. It's the cosmetic equivalent of fresh, untrodden snow. It's virtually impossible to keep a transparent gloss clean and so I spent more time than was probably necessary taking...
Don't you hate it when you open a brand new eyeshadow palette and stick your thumbnail straight into the powder? I'll admit that it makes for a more interesting still life photograph, but it's annoying nonetheless! This quad is a nice little number from KIKO...
A chic, slimline, ultra-portable palette of neutral shades? Yes please. This Clinique launch, the Neutral Territory 2, ticks most boxes. The packaging is incredibly lightweight and low-profile - no extra bulk whatsoever - and the shadows inside are nicely pigmented,...
Ah, here we are again. Monthly favourites. Apologies in advance; I have been on a bit of a beauty "hiatus" this month, partly because I spent the first two weeks of it watching The Good Wife and partly because I still haven't properly sorted out my beauty room. I...
I love the retro feel of this little Givenchy pot. The lid looks sleek, but the bright blue plastic is very eighties, especially with the pink balm inside! As usual, when I first used this I ploughed ahead and slapped it on without reading what it was supposed to do....
Topshop asked me to talk about my favourite product from their range. I have to admit that I was torn between this highlighter and the cream blush in Neon Rose! Here I am on the Topshop website giving my little makeup tip: If you're tired of the pearly, silvery...
This video expands on last week's "how I prepare for a lingerie casting" video. It's a full-length tutorial for the makeup look, as requested by lots of viewers. Those of you who were asking about the By Terry Cover-Expert, you can get a better idea of how much...
Oh my God. I mean, seriously, "OMG". That has to win the prize as one of my worst ever titles, surely? I’m laughing insanely at it even as I type. Sod it, it stays. The reference to Peach Cobbler will probably be lost on many non-US readers but that makes the whole...
OK, listen. I'll admit right now that I thought this idea was a bit stupid; it's kind of a YouTube obsession. People show viewers their 'collections' of makeup and how they store it. Personally, I cannot think of anything more boring than watching whole minutes of...
I haven't started the January 'detox' (involves drinking less and eating less, nothing particularly difficult about it!) but I wanted to show you a picture of my face pre-Christmas. Glowy, healthy, radiant... I can assure you that this effect was mostly achieved with...
Ha! I look a little bit like I'm sticking my middle finger up at you don't I? Not intentional. That's just my lip-gloss-patting pose! A nice little makeup video to round off the pre-Christmas festivities. It makes a change from bloody gift guides and such! All of the...
