Some lovely, melty-textured makeup bits that'll see you through the rest of summer and take you nicely into Autumn. Oh God! The A-Word! I hate myself for even using it, because the summer months are what I live for, but all good things must come to an end. Also, the...
This is the third SPF problem in my little mini-catalogue of sunscreen issues and it's the one that seems to frustrate people the most: how on earth do you reapply sunscreen over makeup? I have two good options below. My first thought, though, is this: if you're doing...
Problems with SPF. We're wading through a few common issues with sunscreen, while the sun is out and people feel its relevant and topical. The thing is, sunscreen should be topical all year round, if you're at all worried about the effects of the sun on your skin, but...
I think that most of us are now pretty clued up about the fact that sunscreen needs to be a mandatory part of our beauty routines. We've long known about the risk of skin cancer but sun exposure is also the leading cause of skin ageing. So if there's one singular...
Here's my current makeup routine, including a rediscovered foundation that's perfect for the summer months (ultra-glowy but lightweight and non-greasy) and what is possibly my all-time favourite mascara. I'm going to break it down into steps for you, but please do...
Did you know that bees in a hive have this thing called swarm mentality, or hive mind, which is this amazing sort of collective thought that happens when you get lots of social insects (ants, bees) together in a colony? I'm no Attenborough, but I've been Googling this...
I've been sunscreen testing again and these are my current five SPF favourites. I'm pretty picky when it comes to sunscreen for the face - I like a lightweight feel and a traceless finish - but thankfully formulations have improved massively over the past few years...
Here's a little updated video on how I style my shoulder length hair - regular readers have seen this all before, I'm not sure much has changed. The Cloud Nine curling wand is still the tool of choice (here*) - it's just the right diameter for the curls I like to make...
I'm very pleased with the poetic title for this post. I'm even more pleased with the fact I've actually finished the seaside holiday cottage renovation project I've been working on* and the romantic little Dorset Nook is now available to book! Think lazy walks down to...
Long-term readers could, I am sure, rattle off a list of my favourite Beauty Pie skincare products by heart. Over the years they've become staples in my beauty routines - the brilliant balm cleansers, the potent retinol range, the moisturisers that seem to inject...
In an attempt to give all of my Instagram videos a safe and permanent home (ie, at a place I actually own, not a platform I have no control over) I'm slowly getting into the habit of uploading them onto Youtube before embedding them into blog posts here on the...
I'm on Bridgerton Season 2 Episode 3 and have been gripped by what I can only describe as "heaving bosom fever". (Why am I only on episode three, you may ask? It's because I can only watch Bridgerton when Mr AMR is away because we like to watch something together in...
