What’s In My Makeup Bag? Autumn 2020

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Autumn 2020

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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...
