February Beauty Favourites

Watch the video below to witness a full-on disintegration of my mental faculties. It happens at around three or four o'clock every day and apparently this isn't a temporary pregnancy thing: it stays after the baby has been born! Please someone tell me that their brain...

Instant Amazing Results: Suqqu Moisture Rich Mask

Instant Amazing Results: Suqqu Moisture Rich Mask

Product rave: the Suqqu Moisture Rich Mask. I just can't get over how a) weird and b) effective it is. Applying it is kind of like spreading glue; it's a tiny bit sticky and forms a tight film across your face. But blimey does this stuff work! It almost worked too...

Skincare on Trial: Olay Regenerist Luminous

Skincare on Trial: Olay Regenerist Luminous

I have been dying to start my latest skincare trial! For a whole month, beginning today, I'll be testing out two new additions to Olay's excellent Regenerist Luminous range*; a Skin Tone Perfecting Serum and a Brightening and Protecting Moisturiser with SPF20. You may...

Current Simple Skin Care Routine…

Current Simple Skin Care Routine…

With all the various stresses of the past few weeks (I won't bore you with the details, but the Dexter Dog catastrophe has been only one of many worries!) my beauty routine has gone out of the window. I've been using whatever has been next to my sink, which has mostly...

Triple Trouble Skin Care Deals…

Triple Trouble Skin Care Deals…

Two rather great skin care deals that have been brought to my attention: the first is the Origins Mask Marvels gift set. I know many of you are avid fans of the Origins masks, so this deal should be a bit of a pleaser; three 75ml tubes of their bestsellers for £23...

Autumn Skincare: Soothing Moisturisers for Sensitive Faces

Autumn Skincare: Soothing Moisturisers for Sensitive Faces

Some gorgeous, soothing moisturisers for skin that's on the dry or sensitive side or that's beginning to feel the effects of the slightly cooler weather. All of the face creams and lotions above are very calming, I find, and though they each vary in their density and...

Moisturiser Recommendation: REN Skincare’s V-Cense

Moisturiser Recommendation: REN Skincare’s V-Cense

For the past four months, on and off, I have been testing out the V-Cense creams from REN skincare; the Youth Vitality Day Cream and the Revitalising Night Cream. I say "on and off" because the longest period of uninterrupted use was probably about three weeks; for...

Thirst-Quenching Beauty for End-of-Summer Skin.

Thirst-Quenching Beauty for End-of-Summer Skin.

Some thirst-quenching skincare bits to see us through the last of the warm weather. I'm actually off on my hols soon (I have never been so glad to have some time away!) and will definitely be slathering these on to keep my skin hydrated and comfortable. We have, from...

Time Bomb: Two Brilliant Moisturisers On My Radar

Time Bomb: Two Brilliant Moisturisers On My Radar

Here's a new discovery: Time Bomb skincare. I had heard of the brand before, but it grabbed my attention properly when I found out that the range had been snapped up by Selfridges, both in-store and online. I have tried a few of the products and all have been very...

Useful Beauty Products to Take to the Gym.

Useful Beauty Products to Take to the Gym.

Continuing along the whole "health and fitness" vein; some useful beauty products that I take with me to the gym. On video for your entertainment - and boy is it entertaining. Especially if you like the word "moist", or want to have the mental image of me doing naked...

My Morning Skincare Routine (with Caroline Hirons)

My Morning Skincare Routine (with Caroline Hirons)

Another "dastardly duo" video with Caroline Hirons; this time it's my morning skincare routine. (You can see Caroline's one here.) I must explain in advance that when I went to film the first set of videos with Caroline, we weren't quite sure exactly what we were...
