I mentioned Diptyque's luscious Multi-Use Exfoliating Clay for the Face earlier on this year, but I feel that it most definitely requires a second visit. Because somehow, out of the dozens of beauty products that are crammed into my bathroom, this understated little...
I've never been a huge advocate of toners; most that I tried in my teens and early twenties left my face so dry and stripped that my skin would be completely knocked out of balance. I think that there was a real trend, then especially, for "cleanser and toner duos";...
There have been loads of questions recently about serums; people wanting to know what they are, what to do with them and - this seems to be the most frequently asked question - whether they are worth the money. Are they just another marketing ploy to get us to add a...
Apologies in advance: this post may make you want things. Because they are pretty bloody good, the products from Sunday Riley. I can't say that I have tested the entire range, just a few of the hero offerings, but what I have tried I have loved. My face has loved....

1) Have you been keeping up with my sales posts? I've scoured the internet for the best deals in fashion (here), books (here) and now beauty (here)! Thank you, though, to an eagle-eyed reader who spotted an Alpha-H deal at LookFantastic. It's two 100ml bottles of...
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...
I use the word "miracles" in the loosest, most tongue-in-cheek sense, of course. The only real overnight miracle is managing to get more than two consecutive hours of rest, what with the cat blundering around the bedroom like an elderly, blind drunkard and Mr AMR...
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...
Well, I have to say that the light that comes through my new living room windows is rather lovely. Here's an unadulterated, un-Instagrammed still from my latest video (October Beauty Favourites) which was shot without any photographic lighting at around 5pm last...
