Some Great New Foundations and Skin Enhancers…

I’ll be writing up full posts on most of the products shown in the following video; I have loads of before-and-after pics to show you and I don’t want to cram them all onto one page! There are some absolute crackers that I’ve discovered recently – new foundations that have only just launched, complexion enhancers that…

The Burberry AW15 Makeup Look – Effortless and Cool.

I’ve been working for Burberry* for the past couple of days, following the behind-the-scenes “journey” of the makeup look for the AW15 show. You’ll notice, if you scan back through previous Fashion Week posts, that it’s the Burberry show that always grabs my attention; I think partly because the brand is so successful at creating…

The Five Minute Makeup Challenge…

Just a bit of fun; I was tagged in the “five minute makeup challenge” by fellow beauty Youtuber, Marnie Goldberg, and decided to accept. I have never done one of these “tag” videos before, usually because they involve tasting weird foods or getting your boyfriend to draw on your face or other stuff that might be hilarious if you…

My Current (Very Simple) Hair and Makeup Routine…

Now and then I like to do one of these “current makeup” videos just to demonstrate some of the products that I’ve been using the most. If a product has been used daily for weeks on end then (for me, at least) it must be pretty good and it’s worth having a bit of a…

Beauty Reviews: Fusion Ink, Couture Noir and a lovely Cream Shadow…

I’m trying out a new post format today: the video below should also play on the homepage. With a spot of luck! If it doesn’t then, well, nothing lost. I’m interested to see how this comes out on the Daily Fix email – my most sincere apologies if it all goes wrong! If you are reading…

Youth-Infusing Foundation: Tried and Tested

Another foundation launch; this time it’s Estée Lauder with the Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup. Foundations are just getting better and better; lightweight formulas, great coverage and glowy finishes that aren’t shimmery or reflective, but give the skin a “lit from within” kind of radiance. I know that many of you are keen for me to do a full…

Beauty Reviews: Lancome Air de Teint, Clinique Feathering Mascara, Guerlain Maxi Lash

Another bunch of beauty reviews for you; this time I’m “live testing” Lancome’s new Miracle Air de Teint foundation, Clinique’s new Feathering mascara and a second mascara, a violet-hued Maxi Lash version from Guerlain. The response to these videos seems to be very good, so I’ll keep on doing them so long as there’s stuff to test out. And there’s always…

Beauty Reviews: By Terry Foundation, Rimmel Bronzer and Estee Lauder Pure Envy Lipstick

The second instalment of my “beauty reviews” – I do hope that this will become a regular feature. It’s useful, I think, to see products being applied – obviously you can’t feel the texture yourself, but you get a good idea of how a foundation blends, or how pigmented a lipstick is or how much coverage a…

My Current Makeup Look (Winter into Spring)

I didn’t have a clue what to call this makeup look, so I went with something yawn-inducingly generic. Sorry. But I do love this little routine I’ve got going with the slightly sultry, metallic eye and the pretty flush of pink on the cheeks. And I absolutely can’t get enough of my current skin perfecting…
