It's possible I'm having something of a rekindled love affair with highlighters at the moment: pearlescent powders, cream illuminators, even obvious shimmers - anything, quite honestly, that will add some much-needed glow to my knackered face. I had forgotten how much...
Creme Puff Blush: Understated Nude
After mentally compiling a "best of 2015" list but then completely forgetting to actually write up a post, I thought that I might work my way through and do some standalone reviews. At any rate, the Creme Puff Blush from Max Factor deserves its own page here on A...
New Flawless Foundations: Which One’s Right For You?
For regular readers, this video is just something a bit extra; I'll be doing far more in-depth reviews of the foundations shown on the video here on the website. You know how I like to keep you all in the Youtube loop! See all recent videos... There are quite a few...
Treat Time: The Clinique Covent Garden Gift | AD
If you're intent on overhauling your beauty cabinet this January then now is the time: Clinique have a gorgeous gift available at their Covent Garden store, available with the purchase of two or more Clinique products*. The gift includes a mini of one of my favourite...
Optimistic Makeup Wearing: The Dior Spring Look
Oh, I know we're still in the depths of winter (for people in the UK winter seems to have actually only just started) but there's nothing wrong with a bit of optimistic, forward-looking makeup wearing. Dior's 2016 Spring Look - Glowing Gardens - is actually just as...
My Christmas Wishlist (The Gift Guide for Girls)
I've sort of restyled my last gift guide video because it occurred to me that I had a million and one things to include in my Gift Guide for Girls, but only some of them were things that I would genuinely be excited to find under the Christmas tree. So this is my pick...
Luxury Gifts for the Glam Night Out
In my last post I brought you gifts for a "cosy night in"; now behold my Christmas present ideas for party animals, social butterflies and anyone who would appreciate a touch of luxury, a spot of decadence. Let's start with a bit of sparkly Chanel, shall we? The...
Net-a-Porter Beauty: The Holiday Kit
The beauty world seems to be overrun with samples and miniatures at the moment - beauty boxes, advent calendars and special gifts-with-purchases that just seem to be getting more and more swanky. It's like battle of the travel sizes! Many people are put off by the...
November Beauty Favourites
November Beauty Favourites - early, for the very first time! I have to get cracking on the Christmas Gift Guides so I thought I'd do my favourites before they got forgotten. There's a nice little skincare mix, a couple of great makeup products and a really creepy book...
Spoiler: Inside The Charlotte Tilbury Book of Make-Up Magic
Sorry to be a total enabler here, but this Book of Make-Up Magic from Charlotte Tilbury is just gorgeous. Expensive (hence starting the post with an apology) but gorgeous. Twelve glamorous products individually wrapped and packaged up in little boxes, it's a great way...
Trial: Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler CC Cream | AD
My latest skincare trial has been an interesting one; the new Hyaluron-Filler CC Cream from Eucerin. I must say that my heart sank, somewhat, when I heard the phrase "CC Cream" - I've tried so many claggy, thick versions lately and had no desire to plaster another one...
Dolce & Gabbana’s Beauty Voyage Palette: No Kermit Green Here
Everything about this Dolce & Gabbana Beauty Voyage makeup palette is just so spot on - even the outer box it's packaged in is gorgeous and eyecatching. I'm possibly biased, because I'm very partial to a bit of animal print, but it definitely stands out from...
