The Acne Pimple Master Patch from COSRX is actually a set of twenty-four patches, which makes me want to write "es" after "patch" on the packaging in Tippex. But that, I have to say, is my one and only complaint (and it's a silly, pedantic one) when it comes to the...

How to Wear Makeup on Blemish-Prone Skin…
Smashbox's Photo Finish Blemish Control Primer has been very swiftly promoted to my "hall of fame" level - or "holy grail" status, as I think the proper term might be these days. It's outstanding, this primer, in that it addresses a concern that deeply affects...

Skincare: do I really need to use a Serum?
There have been loads of questions recently about serums; people wanting to know what they are, what to do with them and - this seems to be the most frequently asked question - whether they are worth the money. Are they just another marketing ploy to get us to add a...
Sunday Riley Skincare: Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
Apologies in advance: this post may make you want things. Because they are pretty bloody good, the products from Sunday Riley. I can't say that I have tested the entire range, just a few of the hero offerings, but what I have tried I have loved. My face has loved....
Skincare Review: T Zone Control for Oily and Combination Skin
I have never had incredibly oily skin but once a month, for just a few days, my face decides to produce more grease than is either necessary or particularly polite. (It's around the same time of the month that I have to resist the urge to batter people around the head...
Olay Regenerist Luminous: Results so Far
Three weeks ago I started my trial period for Olay's new Regenerist Luminous range and I thought that I'd update you with my thoughts so far. And I must say, it's a good job that I didn't just rush into this update and write it after the first week or so, because my...

*This giveaway is now closed. Winners announced in a separate post shortly.* As many readers will already know, Effaclar Duo is one of my staple spot-beating products. It seems to be one of the few products that works on those horrible, deep-seated pimples that lurk...
Review: La Roche-Posay Pigment Control Serum for Dark Spots
My apologies to those of you who were looking for the wrong serum after my milk and spots post yesterday; it's actually called the La Roche-Posay Biomedic Pigment Control serum. You can find it at Escentual and at Boots.com, so pretty easy to get hold of, and I have...
Sunday Tittle Tattle
Sunday Tittle Tattle (noun?): everything from the week that I have forgotten to post about, in easy brunch-sized chunks... 1) Yesterday I talked about zooming in on my HUGE Canon 650D image files - the photograph above shows a screen-grab of a file enlarged just a...
Omorovicza Deep Cleansing Mask
Jeez Lousie - this mask really does do what it says it's going to do, and more; I have used it twice now and both times it has surprised me with it's sheer effectiveness. These Omorovicza people don't mess about, I'm telling you - using this mask is like sending your...
