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...
I'm clearing out my beauty room before house renovations begin (don't even ask why I'm going ahead with building work when I'm having a baby in four-months-and-one-week's time!) and I keep discovering very interesting little boxes filled with skincare for various...
For those of you who were keen to find out about the Cult Beauty goody bag: here are the contents. My eye was particularly drawn to the 50ml bottle of Alpha-H Liquid Gold and the 10ml Start Over eye cream from Sunday Riley, worth around £17 and £22 respectively....
This skincare routine worked so well for my skin when I was away in Greece. A little something pre-SPF (the Decleor Tan Activator Serum, in the little glass bottle) and then something balmy and soothing for afterwards, when all of the sunscreen and sand and salty...
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...
Monthly favourites are here again - the weeks are just hurtling by, aren't they? Before we know it, it'll be the C-word! (Christmas.) It's quite a sharp and to-the-point beauty edit, this month, partly because for half of it I was testing out the Genifique serum and...
Smashbox's Photo Finish Blemish Control Primer has been very swiftly promoted to my "hall of fame" level - or "holy grail" status, as I think the proper term might be these days. It's outstanding, this primer, in that it addresses a concern that deeply affects...
I mentioned Diptyque's luscious Multi-Use Exfoliating Clay for the Face earlier on this year, but I feel that it most definitely requires a second visit. Because somehow, out of the dozens of beauty products that are crammed into my bathroom, this understated little...
I'm not a great believer in face wipes, but these are face swipes, not face wipes, and that makes them a-ok. I jest of course; but there's far more to this little packet of beauty tissues than just a jazzed-up name. For a start, they're nothing like your...
I have just finished a month-long testing session using Lancôme's best-selling serum, Advanced Génifique*. Actually, it was slightly more than a month; I managed to tip out the very last drops of serum on day 34, which I thought was pretty good going considering that...
Thank to to the lovely readers and viewers who directed me to the Vogue Australia website yesterday; there I was, in full technicolor, massaging my face with a balmy cleanser! Very honoured to be pulled out as the creator of one of the "best skincare tutorials" - I...
A much-requested video; half the world now seems to be obsessed with the mysterious delights that are kept locked up in the legendary French Pharmacie. I don't tend to go pharmacy shopping as much as I used to, and that is mainly because the things that I used to...
