Just to go alongside the "What's In My Makeup Bag" post that went up earlier on this week; a snoop inside my handbag. My sister said when I took these photos - and I quote her directly - "this is the sh*ttest What's In My Bag ever! Where's all the makeup stuff?" But I...
Product rave: the Suqqu Moisture Rich Mask. I just can't get over how a) weird and b) effective it is. Applying it is kind of like spreading glue; it's a tiny bit sticky and forms a tight film across your face. But blimey does this stuff work! It almost worked too...
Just a bit of fun: a trawl through the contents of my handbag. Or should I say "holiday bag"; I was on my way to Athens airport, so my bag was full of bits and pieces to see me through the flight. If you'd like to see a little of what I got up to on holiday then...
Things in the latest Space NK gift-with-purchase that made me squeal with delight: a sample of the new REN Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial; a little tube of Becca's cult makeup product, the Shimmering Skin Perfector; a teeny lipstick from Hourglass and - the piece de...
Some holiday (or pre-holiday) skincare essentials. The VO5 Hot Oil is a bit of an anomaly because it's for your hair and not for your face, but it was orange and summery and looked good in my photographs! Hot Oil is one of those beauty products that seems very old...
Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster does all of the right things when it comes to facial tanning: it's subtle, it's streak-free and it gives the most gorgeous, believable glow. Perhaps its biggest selling point, though, is the fact that it fits seamlessly into...
1) Another bank holiday! April and May are just brilliant for totally unexpected little days off, aren't they? To be absolutely frank, I'm just happy to be in my own house for more than two days in a row, even if the weather is miserable. What a hectic few weeks - I'm...
Beauty sales don't tend to be anywhere near as rewarding as clothing sales - probably because most skincare and bodycare products aren't seasonal, and any makeup items that are tend to be cleverly limited in number. You can usually find better beauty discounts and...
Yes I do realise how marvellously inappropriate this beach post is when most people are wrapped up beneath layers of knitwear, crouching next to their radiators, but I'm going to steam ahead anyway. I'm in Dubai and I am determined to enjoy it - and much of my...
Clarins' Skin Smoothing Eye Mask has only just been added to my emergency beauty kit but it's already a firm favourite. It's very hydrating and soothing and it actually absorbs enough so that it doesn't have to be rinsed or tissued off. If you like a regular face mask...
1) What a week! No sooner had I moved into my new house (yes I'm loving it, yes I have been spending an inordinate amount of time watching little birds dart in and out of the trees and the bird houses and staring at the river) than I had to whizz off again and spend...
I have been a little bit quiet on the skincare front recently, and that's because I've wiped my whole shelf clean apart from just two or three products. I'm doing a little experiment, you see. A minimalist one. I'll tell you all about it next week or perhaps the week...
