(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 Skin Illusion, which came in a more traditional, pump-action glass bottle. I liked that…
Wah! Sorry to be a total beauty enabler this week, but Narciso Eau de Parfum by Narciso Rodriguez is just an absolute show-stopper. Look at that bottle! So understated and chic with its smooth, square lid and simple bottle design. And how many white perfumes have you seen? It’s like a measure of the most perfectly pure milk,…
Another bunch of beauty reviews for you; this time I’m “live testing” Lancome’s new Miracle Air de Teint foundation, Clinique’s new Feathering mascara and a second mascara, a violet-hued Maxi Lash version from Guerlain. The response to these videos seems to be very good, so I’ll keep on doing them so long as there’s stuff to test out. And there’s always…
A chic, slimline, ultra-portable palette of neutral shades? Yes please. This Clinique launch, the Neutral Territory 2, ticks most boxes. The packaging is incredibly lightweight and low-profile – no extra bulk whatsoever – and the shadows inside are nicely pigmented, long-wearing and universally flattering. In particular, I love the addition of the warm, reddish accent shade…
Earlier in the month I quickly hopped over to Paris to visit the Espace Weleda, a quiet little haven in the centre of the city, offering fragrant yet uncomplicated face and body treatments. My main purpose for the visit was actually to take the time to get to know the various product lines – Weleda is…
This video is a bit of a “precursor” to the full-length foundation guide that I’m going to film in the New Year. I’ve picked out my five most-used foundations and bases and shown them in action, along with a little blurb about each and the kind of coverage and finish that they give. I’d like…
Obviously it was a “working lunch”. Obviously. Whenever I get together with @legslonglength, as she is known on Twitter, we do nothing but work. Ahem. Ruth (@legslonglength) and I have been lunching together at inordinately expensive places for over ten years now; we have made it into something of an art. I won’t go into…
Moan-to-a-Model is your chance to air all of your beauty woes and worries!
I finally get my BaByliss rollers to work, just in time!
I painted my nails in record time – the varnish went on really easily and smoothly.
The bronze and gold pigments are so fine that the overall effect is just very luxurious and glowing.
A few days on and the spots are mere shadows on my skin.
This is what I think I would look like if I decided to bake bread whilst wearing Dermalogica’s Vitamin Recovery Masque.
I thought that I would be a colour chameleon just like Linda E., but sadly that was not the case.
I’m back – slightly later than promised due to a certain hyperactive volcano – but a model’s working life is littered with such setbacks and disasters! Anyhow, on your left you will see the Colosseum and a rather whimsical looking face (mine) in front of it. I think that I look really quite fresh considering…
The hunt for a new tinted moisturiser begins!
Great Lash is perfect for low-key lashes…
If you suffer from weak, emotionally damaged hair then this is a must-buy.
