The eye palette from Chanel's Holiday 2021 collection has already sold out online so I'm not going to beat around the bush: if you want a special edition Rouge Allure No5 lipstick* or the amazing paper-pulp-packaged No5 perfume* then you'll have to be quick about it....
I have a new eye makeup tutorial for you with some top tips for creating a foolproof smokey eye. This tutorial is in collaboration with Boots who are running a campaign called "Eyes on the Prize", encouraging people to try bold new eye looks for the party season. With...
Welcome back to the 'If I Could Only Buy One' series, in which I give myself a week-long headache trying to decide on my absolute favourite beauty product from a given category. This time my quest has been for the best tinted moisturiser. Please do read the disclaimer...
The quarterly, seasonal peep into my makeup bag with all of its wondrous contents. And what a makeup bag it is! How had I not heard of the Flat Lay Co? Or seen this type of makeup bag before? It's utterly genius! If you, like me, don't have a permanent, dedicated...
I think that this may be my most pared-back What's In My Makeup Bag video ever: really just the very bare minimum, with the few products I did use tested to the absolute nth degree. I filmed it quite a few weeks ago now and I still hadn't really unpacked (catch up on...
I'm sorry, but the part of me that likes things to be in order has to post this video despite it being a whole season old. (Admittedly it's only a very tiny - tiny - part of me that likes things in order, because mostly I live in chaos, like one of those long-bearded...
I think that Chanel's new Les Beiges Healthy Glow Makeup is an absolute triumph of a foundation relaunch. It's so tweaked that it's barely the same product. I didn't ever properly review the original Healthy Glow foundation because - to get straight to the point - I...
I don't have an amazing track record with mascara-testing. Firstly, I am massively picky when it comes to what I put on my lashes, which means that I hate most mascaras and quickly become disgruntled when I have to test a whole run of them. (I like my mascaras to be...
I don't think I've ever had so many questions and comments about a foundation as I have about the Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection. I photographed myself oh-so-casually wearing it on Instagram stories and it has made background appearances in some of my...
You might well point out that I'm a bit late to the party with this particular seasonal makeup update, but apparently we're in for a little heatwave next week, here in the UK. So there. I refuse to let go of summer! At any rate, why be so rigid about the seasons? I...
There's something deeply satisfying about applying a cream eyeshadow with fingertips - it must appeal to the toddler in me. The teeny pots of "paint", the relatively slapdash approach to sticking a finger in and then swiping it across the eyelid... It's makeup that...
Let's get down to business, in the words of Captain Li Shang from Mulan. (Can you tell I've overdone it on the Disney+ channel binging? There's no Disney stone left unturned in this house. As well as devouring the classics, we've watched every prequel and sequel, some...
