I reviewed Burberry's Fresh Glow BB Cream two years ago as part of a bigger post on Burberry foundations, but I think that it deserves its own page. So many BB/CC/DD creams have a claggy, SPF-heavy kind of feel and it's a real treat to find one that's fresh textured...
I do love it when I rediscover something utterly amazing; the eye cream that feels instantly nourishing (Elemental Herbology), the face base that feels as light as a feather (Effaclar BB Blur), the mascara that makes me look twenty times more alive (Guerlain Maxi...
I do enjoy it when a product does exactly what it says on the tin. Although I must admit that I often fail to look at the tin (tube/bottle/pot, delete as applicable) before I start, which gets me into all sorts of beauty scrapes. I once fake-tanned my face instead of...
A gentle reminder, now that we are moving into Summer Proper with its pub garden drinking sessions and impromptu al fresco lunches, to use a sunscreen. Whether you usually go in for a water resistant, pile-it-on-thick SPF 50 or something a little less robust, make...
Did you ever play a game when you were little called Kim's Game? We used to play it at Girl Guides. It probably has loads of different names and ways to play it, but our version was this: you'd have a tray with a load of objects on (things like pens and buttons and...
Do you find that your foundation slips or goes patchy on your nose and forehead, where your skin is oilier? There are some brilliant primers for oily and combination skin out there - used after moisturising (or straight after a hydrating serum, as you prefer) a good...
Oh, we're knee-deep in this whole headache-inducing Black Friday business, which seems to now start on a Wednesday and last until a Tuesday, but still manages to fill me with excitement because: DISCOUNTS. Discounts are basically my downfall - give me any kind of...
July favourites, including a response to some of the comments on my Best Budget Foundations video and one new product that I just don't get. I don't usually include dislikes in my favourites videos (mainly because they are supposed to be about things I love) but this...
As promised, my edit of the best budget (high street/drugstore) foundations. This has been a long, long time in the making - I've tried some really shockingly bad face bases and some excellent ones and the four that follow are, I think, outstanding. I hope that...
I've long been a fan of Vita Liberata's Capture the Light skin perfector; it adds a tint, a touch of glow and somehow seems to blur imperfections, leaving your legs looking as though they are clad in some sort of invisible miracle tights. Capture the Light has been...
I find it relatively easy and enjoyable to test and monitor the results of skincare for dehydrated skin; not only are these types of products usually light and fresh-feeling and suitable for use nearly all of the time, their effects are often pleasingly noticeable and...
When I went to write this comparison post I realised that the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation didn't have its own page here on the website. A travesty! It's such a good little base - it behaves exactly how I want a foundation to behave, with a light and...
