Here we are once more; monthly favourites. I have Caroline Hirons with me again so you'll need to prepare yourself for a fair amount of chatting. In Caroline's skincare video, at any rate - I edited the makeup video down from thirty-two minutes to about nine, but...
Excellent news for people looking for well-formulated skincare at reasonable prices: Geraldine Howard, founder of luxe brand Aromatherapy Associates, has created a special range for Sainsbury's. This isn't breaking news, I'm afraid - I think that the range might have...
Pai Skincare have launched some brilliant beauty kits, the Anywhere Essentials Collections. I have always loved Pai for their gentle, soothing formulas; their Echium Eye Cream is my number one post-shoot eye treatment because it's so great at calming down any soreness...
Some holiday (or pre-holiday) skincare essentials. The VO5 Hot Oil is a bit of an anomaly because it's for your hair and not for your face, but it was orange and summery and looked good in my photographs! Hot Oil is one of those beauty products that seems very old...
Some lovely, summery skincare bits and pieces that I've been trying. I've probably harped on about the MD Formulations Moisture Defense (right of photo) quite enough by now, but just to recap: weightless skin hydration with a load of antioxidants packed in. Perfect...
Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster does all of the right things when it comes to facial tanning: it's subtle, it's streak-free and it gives the most gorgeous, believable glow. Perhaps its biggest selling point, though, is the fact that it fits seamlessly into...
A lovely cleanser to add to your wishlist; Aurelia's Miracle Cleanser. I am new to Aurelia, and I'm afraid I'll have to do a bit of swotting up before I can even begin to tell you about "probiotic skincare" or "bioorganic ingredients", but this cleanser impressed me...
Well. I wasn't expecting this to work, I'll tell you that for nothing! Sliding a rubbery, vibrating paddle over your face does not feel conducive to an effective cleanse; I have to say that I sat there feeling like a bit of a tool. With my tool. I felt that I may as...
This post on antioxidants has been in my drafts folder since 2012 and, as I have a few skincare posts coming up that talk about antioxidants, I thought that I'd bite the bullet and get it finished off. I've even brightened up the page with some product shots that...
The summer always takes me by surprise. God only knows how, because I wait for it with every fibre of my being! But the British weather being unpredictable as it is, you get lulled into a kind of ambivalence and then, when the sun finally comes out in full force, you...
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...
1) Another bank holiday! April and May are just brilliant for totally unexpected little days off, aren't they? To be absolutely frank, I'm just happy to be in my own house for more than two days in a row, even if the weather is miserable. What a hectic few weeks - I'm...
