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...
Sainsbury’s New Beauty Aisles: My Favourite Products | AD
I feel that Sainsbury's have always been slightly ahead of the game when it comes to supermarket beauty shopping, stocking great and affordable brands such Super Facialist, Burt's Bees and Nip + Fab, but now they have completely raised the bar again with their brand...
3 Best Beauty Buys: Firming Eye Creams
I've started a little series on Instagram that I hope to keep regularly adding posts to; it's called 3 Best Beauty Buys, which isn't the most inventive of feature names, but it'll do what it says on the tin and that's what counts! I've already done a quick IGTV...
Foundation Review: Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Makeup
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...
The Best New Luxury Mascaras
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...
The Skincare Products I’ll Be Buying Next Spring
As summer draws to a sultry, overdue end I've been taking stock of the skincare products that have really cut the mustard this year - the ones I now use so regularly they've become an automatic part of my beauty routine. When spring starts (look at me, optimistically...
Foundation Review: Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Perfection
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...
5 Beauty Favourites: August 2020
Do any of you have any huge objections if I widen the scope of my monthly favourites round-ups to include stuff other than beauty? I feel it would inject some new and welcome joie de vivre into what is an old - yet surprisingly still very popular - format. The only...
What’s In My Makeup Bag? Summer 2020
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...
The Perfect Summer-to-Autumn Shadows
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...
My Current Skincare Routine: Damage Control
My summer skincare routine is here and it's slightly juicier than usual because a couple of months ago I had to do an almost unprecedented SOS u-turn on my whole beauty routine. I know you're ready to hear about it. We all love a bit of a disaster. Actually it...
5 Beauty Favourites: July 2020
Fancy a quick blast through the beauty things that have wowed me recently? Well buckle up, team, this is going to be quite the ride! I'm exaggerating, obviously, because it's just a post about beauty favourites so there are never going to be any significant potholes...
