My 5 beauty & fashion favourites for August include some boots for stomping in, a dress for vamping in and a face cream that moisturises so deeply it's slightly unnerving. Watch the video below if you fancy listening to me chatting through my favourites or carry...
This post could also have been called My Most-Used Autumn Moisturisers but I dicked around with the title for so long that my hair grew and the leaves began to fall and so I settled on the original title. Does what it says on the tin. My Current Favourite...
I get a lot of questions sent to me, either via email or through Instagram, and there are always a few things that get asked more than anything else. For the past year or so, that question has been (roughly) "I'm completely new to skincare, where the hell do I start?"...
This gorgeous pot of buttery face cream from The Body Shop has shot straight into my Sensitive Skin Good Buys category. I don't actually have a Sensitive Skin Good Buys category, but maybe I should create one, because products for sensitive skin are most definitely a...
I've just risked life and limb careering up the stairs to get this review out to you; such is my dedication to the beauty cause that as soon as I saw the Japanfusion Supreme Cream back in stock, I dropped my knitting (aka browsing the Rightmove app) and scurried to my...
Elemis have launched two new moisturisers into their Peptide 24/7 range; a clever, multi-tasking day cream - Peptide4 Adaptive Day Cream* - and an overnight mask called the Plumping Pillow Facial*, which must be one of the most inviting product names I've ever seen....

As I scrape the very last remnants of cream from the bottom of the glass jar, I find myself missing Herbivore's Pink Cloud Rosewater Moisture Cream before it has even reached the recycling box. Unusual for me, because quite a lot of the time I'm in a rush to try the...
And so here it is, the Autumn Favourites video as promised. I'll now be doing my favourites videos seasonally, or with a theme - for example, "Haircare Favourites" or "Favourite Budget Bodycare". The seasonal favourites videos will be a light-hearted overview of the...
It's been over a year since my first (and last) "seasonal" skincare update, so that idea for a regular feature worked out well, didn't it? Why do I have such an aversion to my own deadlines? I can spend three hours thinking and writing about sink design, a topic so...
