I went to a lovely beauty dinner organised by Sainsbury's and it reminded that I was, at one point, doing some sort of supermarket beauty series. I can't remember the title of this particular series but I'm sure it would have utilised a pun, because I can't resist...
Arriving in London with a makeup bag that had apparently been packed by a drunk baboon forced me to be a bit creative with my products. I honestly have no idea how I ended up with four bronzers and two foundations but absolutely no brow stuff, no lipstick and only one...
I was slightly nervous about the fact that the epic Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation had been reformulated. And I say epic with not even a hint of irony because it was just that: very few high coverage, ultra longwear foundations came close to it in terms of...
Eye cream really divides opinion in the beauty world. Some people swear by it (the usual argument being that skin around the eyes is different - thinner - than elsewhere and so you want a dedicated formula to suit) and some people think that you should just use...
It's favourites time, but this time they're supercharged. The first favourite thing has changed my life and I'm not being dramatic and clickbait-y about it, either; the second favourite is a book that had me audibly cheering as I read it (in just two sittings) in bed...
I've made some little tweaks to my makeup routine and committed them to video: one of the changes involves my eyebrows, and you might already know about that one, but the other four are relatively new and snazzy. I know that the suspense will be killing you, so let's...
First post of 2023 and it's straight in with my current makeup routine and some incredible new makeup discoveries. I don't use the word incredible lightly, either: some of these products have completely changed my makeup routine and had my husband asking questions...
Haircare is the category that's most likely to let me down, beauty-wise. It tends to give me heated tools that I can't manage to operate, "moisturising" shampoos that leave my hair feeling like wire, styling foams and mists and mousses that need to be blow-dried in by...
Well, here's something I was expecting to hate but ended up loving: the Babyliss Cordless Hot Brush. I realised, through a bit of self-therapising (basically just me staring at the window for a while, pondering stuff) that the reason I took instant dislike to the...
If you're trying to save money on your skincare but don't want to compromise on the quality of your routine then I have some good news for you: I've rounded up some of the best budget cleansers and they're all products I happily use (and repurchase) on a regular...
This trend for the dribbling of skincare products directly onto the face really bemuses me. Ditto foundation dribbling. Pipettes are enough of a faff to use when you drop the product into the palm of your hand, why on earth would you ever attempt to pipe the product...
At the very real risk of boring myself to death with the same makeup look over and over again I thought I had better jiggle things up a bit. There's nothing wrong with "sticking to what suits you" when it comes to putting your maquillage on but sometimes there's a...
