The quarterly, seasonal peep into my makeup bag with all of its wondrous contents. And what a makeup bag it is! How had I not heard of the Flat Lay Co? Or seen this type of makeup bag before? It's utterly genius! If you, like me, don't have a permanent, dedicated...
I think that this may be my most pared-back What's In My Makeup Bag video ever: really just the very bare minimum, with the few products I did use tested to the absolute nth degree. I filmed it quite a few weeks ago now and I still hadn't really unpacked (catch up on...
I'm sorry, but the part of me that likes things to be in order has to post this video despite it being a whole season old. (Admittedly it's only a very tiny - tiny - part of me that likes things in order, because mostly I live in chaos, like one of those long-bearded...
You might well point out that I'm a bit late to the party with this particular seasonal makeup update, but apparently we're in for a little heatwave next week, here in the UK. So there. I refuse to let go of summer! At any rate, why be so rigid about the seasons? I...
There's something deeply satisfying about applying a cream eyeshadow with fingertips - it must appeal to the toddler in me. The teeny pots of "paint", the relatively slapdash approach to sticking a finger in and then swiping it across the eyelid... It's makeup that...
I've just been scrolling back through all of my previous What's In My Makeup Bag posts and I stumbled across this particular beauty: the Summer 2018 edition. If you don't want to click through and read it then here's the gist of the matter, in image form: Isn't it...
It seems a weird time to be filming a beauty favourites video, but what I thought would be even weirder would be for me to have made a big song and a dance last month about my favourites being back in town and then never doing another one! I even made that...
Stand down, Outraged of Welwyn Garden City, I said How To Do A Glow Job not blow job! To be honest, I'm almost forty and still couldn't tell you how to do the latter that well, so the chances of me writing a post about it (or - urgh - making a video) are slim. Hohoho....
Ah, there's nothing that marks the passing of the seasons quite like one of my makeup bag videos. You could set your clock by them. (I'm being facetious, obviously; I never get these seasonal makeup videos out at the right time.) This (un)timely makeup offering is for...
Do you remember when I whipped myself in the face with a fully-grown tree? It wasn't one of my finest moments; I almost lost an eye and I think that my children are probably emotionally scarred for life. (They're not. That's a lie. They didn't even look up from the...
Oh, these little eyeshadow palettes from NARS are just so good. I've been testing them out for months now and they are without a doubt one of the most-used (and most useful) eye products in my makeup bag. I say makeup bag, obviously I mean bags, plural. The cosmetics...
I haven't reviewed a tinted moisturiser in a while so let's make a juicy little comeback with this lovely luxurious one; the Code8 Radiate Beauty Balm. Code8 haven't called it a tinted moisturiser but that's pretty much what it is - light to medium coverage in a...
