There are two beauty favourites videos, this month – one on skincare and one on makeup – and I filmed them nice and early. I’m trying to do everything nice and early, just in case I get a sudden late-pregnancy energy deficit – or, scarier thought – I go into labour before forty weeks. (I’m begging Baby AMR to stay in until forty weeks or thereabouts, because much as I can’t wait to meet him/her, we are going to have a seriously stressful house-move situation! Also, I have loads of work to do. Also, I have some really nice maternity stuff that I’d like to waddle about in, it would seem a shame not to show it off. How shallow. Also, I need as long as possible to get my head around the idea of a) childbirth and b) the fact that I’m going to have a baby. You’d have thought I’d be well au fait with these ideas by now, but…no. Do give my pregnancy blog a read if you’d like a small glimpse into my antenatal mind.)

Anyway, April beauty favourites. The first video is skincare, the second is makeup. I’ve listed all of the products below, for those who can’t abide watching me ramble away. But actually, do watch the makeup video if only for the brilliant brow transformation that I spoke about in my recent Gimme Brow post. It’s subtle, but strangely pleasing and it makes so much difference to my face. It’s right at the end of the makeup vid, if you want to just get to that part…
