(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) Well here's a lovely new foundation for lovers of lightweight makeup: Clarins Skin Illusion Natural Hydrating Foundation. It's a brand new makeup launch and it replaces Clarins' original...
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) I've found this review surprisingly difficult to write considering that this is one of the very best makeup products I've used in years. I think it's perhaps because I'm not quite sure where...
I had no idea what to call this week's video - it's such a jumble of reviews and demos - and so I pulled out the two features I thought might be of the most interest. Some new Chanel makeup bits (from the recently launched AW18 collection) and a foundation for...
Interesting fact: when I went to write the title of this post I couldn't remember what year we were in! I typed 2017, but that didn't look quite right and then I typed 2019 but that just seemed very unfamiliar and then my mind went blank and I simply couldn't recall...
The title of this video should really be What's In My Makeup Bags, plural, not Bag, singular, because - at last count - I have four different versions on the go. The first one (my special edition Swag Bag with Scamp & Dude - all profits go to my chosen charity,...
One for when your face lacks any sort of radiance and resembles an arid, dusty moonscape ("there's no life on this planet, Captain!"): Bobbi Brown's Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm. This hydrating, subtly pearlescent cream gives a nice, even glow that makes...
I think a lot about beauty. Which would seem pretty obvious, seeing as though I spend a huge proportion of my life writing, talking and reading about it, but it goes beyond the sort of "formal thinking" that sees me researching skincare ingredients or scrutinising the...
It has been rather a slow start to the year, beauty-wise; I talked at length (ish) about burnouts and brain freeze last month, but I shall recap briefly for those who missed it. In very simple terms, I suppose that I reached my limit with juggling work and moving...
Oooh it's quite pricey, but what an absolute treat this is: the Filmstar Bronze & Glow palette from Charlotte Tilbury. I have actually used it for a few years now** but recently my dependence on it has become quite alarming. This morning I bronzed-and-highlighted...
Forgive the radio silence: I've been moving. I feel as though I've said that a lot over the last few years, but I'm hoping that this will be the last time. Actually, I can tell you that it will be the last time - there's no way I'm moving again. For a start, I'm in my...
After my brief financial misdemeanour the other week (see unicorn boots, here) it brings me great joy to show you two very cheap and cheerful things that might just brighten up your wintery day. First, the "j'adore" t-shirt from Boohoo at ASOS*, which is a tenner....
You must watch this What's In My Makeup Bag video, if only to see my miraculous hair transformation in the last twenty seconds! In one frame I have quite an uninspiring 'do - I'd just let my hair down from a mini-ponytail - and in the next, I have volume not...
