What’s In My Makeup Bag? Summer 2019

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Summer 2019

I'll start this post with a bit of an emergency bargain announcement, because it might not be around for long and you'll kick yourselves if you miss it. The Rodial Airbrush, an amazing luxury foundation brush with a dome-shaped head and firm, densely-packed bristles...

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Spring 2019

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Spring 2019

I wasn't at all prepared for this video; I was on an overnight stay at Heckfield Place (lovely new hotel, incidentally) and in the morning decided, with just a smidgen of a hangover, that I'd film myself putting on all of the makeup in my makeup bag. It was an odd...

Beauty, Fashion and Home Favourites: May 2018

Beauty, Fashion and Home Favourites: May 2018

It's time for the May favourites. A mixed bag again, this month, as I'm featuring more beauty in the 5 Most-Used videos. So there are two beauty things (both of which you can read more about here on the blog, links below the video pane), one sort-of-beauty favourite...

The Non-Surgical Eye Lift

The Non-Surgical Eye Lift

OK, you have to bear with me here, because the revelation that follows is so unbelievably obvious I'm almost embarrassed to post about it. What we have here isn't some new-fangled eye cream ingredient or a fancy, muscle-toning massage move. It's not an optical...

17 Most-Used Beauty Products of 2017

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....

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Autumn 2017

What’s In My Makeup Bag? Autumn 2017

Are we still in Autumn? It feels decidedly wintery, but I'm hoping that I can still just about slot in a warm, russety-toned makeup video before everyone starts wrapping up in faux-fur stoles and sprinkling their faces with golden glitter. Here's what I've been using...

Beige Pop: The Wearable, Comfortable Nude

Beige Pop: The Wearable, Comfortable Nude

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...

Beauty Favourites: April 2017

Beauty Favourites: April 2017

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...

My Everyday Essentials with Sure Maximum Protection | AD

My Everyday Essentials with Sure Maximum Protection | AD

Now that I have precisely twenty-eight seconds to get ready in the morning, I tend to gather together little groups of staple beauty products that I can rely on to get me through the day. The windowsill in my en suite is my "essentials" storage area - all of the bits...

July Beauty Favourites

July Beauty Favourites

I managed to film a video! That's something of a milestone for me, because although it has only been six weeks since Baby AMR arrived, I've felt a bit like my previous life was completely lost to me and I'd never again have the time to do anything other than sleep,...

The Glowing Skin “Makeup Dream Team”…

The Glowing Skin “Makeup Dream Team”…

There were quite a few people asking about my skin in my latest videos, so I thought I'd quickly run through the makeup I had on. It was a bit of a glowing skin "Dream Team" to be quite honest - all of the below photographs were taken with just natural daylight (they...

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...
