Another "dastardly duo" video with Caroline Hirons; this time it's my morning skincare routine. (You can see Caroline's one here.) I must explain in advance that when I went to film the first set of videos with Caroline, we weren't quite sure exactly what we were...
As promised, my April Skincare Favourites video. This time with a special guest, Caroline Hirons. Caroline is an experienced facialist and a professional beauty consultant and industry insider and, as it turns out, an excellent Youtube Buddy! There will be more video...
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,...
My March beauty favourites video has just gone live and it comes with a big apology: I completely and utterly forgot to do a February one! The perfectionist side of my brain is begging me to film it retrospectively so that I have a "full house", but the time-poor,...
A rather belated review, I'm afraid; I had a bit of a shade mix-up with the Eve Lom products when they were first launched and then they got a little overlooked for a while, partly because I wasn't overly wowed by the product that I tried first (spoiler alert!) but...
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...

I'm really getting into these autumnal looks, aren't I? Traditionally, the autumn collections have been my least favourite, but I must admit that there are quite a few tasty little bits and pieces this year. In this picture I'm wearing a simple base of...
Chanel's Rouge Allure Moiré lipsticks and polishes have launched; beautiful, pearlescent shades that catch the light and add a touch of high-glamour to the more dismal of autumnal days. My favourite shades are Indecise, shown left in my photograph above and Farouche,...
One to look out for in your ingredients lists: Niacinamide. I know I've banged on about this before so I do apologise if I'm boring you, but the more I read about it, the better this awkward-to-spell ingredient seems to become! I don't particularly like the term...
This routine takes things right back to the skincare basics. For many of you, it may be slightly too obvious, a bit "common sense-y" and for that I'm sorry, but I just felt that I wanted to get some simple skincare steps recorded on video. The importance of proper...
In this week's video I run through a few of my SPF recommendations. It's all pretty self-explanatory if you watch it, but two things to remember: firstly, that you need to use generous amounts of suncare to get the stated level of protection. Recent guidelines say a...
