It seems like only yesterday, but it's actually a whole year since I wrote my post on the Anne Sémonin made-to-measure skincare routine I had been prescribed. You can read about that here, if you'd like a quick trip down memory lane!) It was quite a complex routine,...
There's an ongoing argument about eye creams in the beauty world; some believe them to be utterly pointless and instead of making the separate investment simply use their existing facial serum and moisturiser right up to and around the eye area. Others (me included)...
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....
Oooh it's quite pricey, but what an absolute treat this is: the Filmstar Bronze & Glow palette from Charlotte Tilbury. I have actually used it for a few years now** but recently my dependence on it has become quite alarming. This morning I bronzed-and-highlighted...
There are few things more annoying, in terms of makeup application, than overdoing your bronzer. Correcting it can lead to a whole world of other frustrations, mainly because bronzer tends to be one of the very last things you apply and so taking it off means...
Do you get yourself into a bit of a mess when it comes to bronzer application? I think that it can be really tricky to get right - especially as there are so many different methods shown in video tutorials and beauty pages. The application pattern du jour on the...

After posting about the amazing results I had with Anne Sémonin's Miracle Eye Contour Anti-Wrinkle Cream (see here - the fine lines around my eyes were almost totally erased) the lovely people at the brand asked me whether I might like to try a few more things from...
Benefit have launched a new version of their hugely popular Hoola bronzer: Hoola Lite. This is the first time that they've properly strayed away from their bestselling bronzer shade, offering up a slightly lighter alternative for those with fairer skin. Or, I suppose,...
Brace yourselves for some serious makeup lust: the Soleil collection from Tom Ford has landed. Look at those compacts! So chic. And because I'm on a bit of a bronzer run this week, I thought I'd test out the Ultimate Bronzer. It's pleasingly oversized - just calling...
I said in my Summer Essentials post that I'd review the Mat Illusion bronzer from Bourjois and so here it is in all its glory. It really is lovely. Completely free of any shimmer or pearlescence, it blends beautifully into the skin and leaves it looking realistically...
