Since I last mentioned my pustule-like spots, I have been using one skincare product religiously, and I suppose that is what the video below is all about. It wasn't until I pared my skincare routine right down to two products (cleanser and then the blemish treatment)...
I still have a few posts to catch up on from the end of last year - drafted but not quite finished - but this one on blemish busters is, I feel, very relevant. Mask-induced spots, or "maskne" as the marketing world coined it, seems to be an ongoing issue for some...
I only managed to go and film a new video, didn't I? After two false starts (one of them was realising I'd done the whole thing without actually pressing the record button) I managed to create a short(ish)list of my seventeen most-used beauty products from last year....
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...
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...
I'm clearing out my beauty room before house renovations begin (don't even ask why I'm going ahead with building work when I'm having a baby in four-months-and-one-week's time!) and I keep discovering very interesting little boxes filled with skincare for various...
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...
Sorry, I was late with the video and I'm even later with this post! It's quite a mish-mash, this favourites video; jewellery, sunscreens, a pair of ballet pumps... You can read more about the wonderful lightweight sunscreens in last week's post here and I'll be doing...
Pottering around in the City Pharma pharmacy in Paris last week really got me excited about skincare again. I'd been having a little lull, if truth be known. Partly because I'd been using up my Olay Renegerist Luminous and so wasn't trying anything new (good sign,...
Ah, here we are again. Monthly favourites. Apologies in advance; I have been on a bit of a beauty "hiatus" this month, partly because I spent the first two weeks of it watching The Good Wife and partly because I still haven't properly sorted out my beauty room. I...
I've finally managed to get around to filming my Preparing for a Beauty Shoot video and I have a feeling that, in a small way, it may be something of an anticlimax. Because I don't have some kind of crazy twenty-five-step facial routine that I do before a modelling...
OK, so they might not be right at the lowest end of budget budget beauty finds, but all of the products in this video are extremely fairly priced. And good. I use the Weleda Calendula Bath quite frequently, now - it's not the most attractive product when it squits its...
