Three little products that never leave my travelling toiletries bag: StriVectin-SD Eye Cream, a teeny tube of Liquid Gold and my miniature deep sleep pillow spray from This Works. It's my third mini deep sleep and my second eye cream but the Liquid Gold tube is a...
From Paris, with Love…
I write to you from the Hotel Amour in Paris, which is the oddest little place. (The hotel, not Paris.) I am drafting a review on this hotel, simply because you must see a picture of the disgusting object that they have on the reception desk and also the wallpaper...
Ingredient Love: Niacinamide
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...
Chanel: The Skincare Wardrobe and a Very Pleasant Surprise!
I was worried that the new serums from Chanel - Le Jour de Chanel, La Nuit de Chanel and Le Weekend de Chanel - would be un petit peu style-over-substance but I must say that I'm very, very pleasantly surprised. It's a nice idea, at any rate, to create a "skin...
Explained On Video: My Simple Skincare Routine
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...
The Nicest Thing Happened…
To find out what the nicest thing was you'll have to watch the video. Sorry! It's an evil way of getting you all to watch my vlogs. Cackle cackle cackle... Scroll down and press the play button or, if you're on email, click here! If you want to subscribe to my vlog...
Sunday Tittle Tattle
1) I am pleased to announce that this week I have actually managed to get some work done! I KNOW! I owe it all to a certain computer application called the Freedom App. Recommended to me by my booker at Models1, Josy, and also by a few of my Twitter friends, it has...
Summer SPF Reminder and Alpha-H Goody Bags!
Just a quick reminder, because I haven't yet put out my summer SPF posts: please please please wear a daily sunscreen if you're using any products with AHAs or retinol or anything that sensitises the skin at all. I mean, wear an SPF anyway, but wear a very thorough...
Do I Need An Extra Beauty Step?
This is the No Wrinkles Wonder Essence from beauty brand This Works and it's intended to be a new step in your beauty routine. Don't hurl balled-up socks at the screen, I'm just the messenger! This essence is a "post-toner, pre-serum" step and it's pitched as a...
Sunday Tittle Tattle
Sunday Tittle Tattle (noun?): everything from the week that I have forgotten to post about, in easy brunch-sized chunks... 1) After going on about how good I'm going to be with my spending "issues", the above happened. Ooops. I couldn't resist - they appealed to the...
My Beauty Essentials for Fashion Shoots
Photographic makeup can be really, really hard on your skin; for a start, it's usually more makeup than you'd ever wear in normal life, but it's also reapplied and touched up and blended in. All of this rubbing and pulling and poking at the skin takes its toll after...
Desert Island Beauty
Here's a list of my absolute all-time favourite beauty products. If I had to fit everything into a very small suitcase and go and live on a desert island, then this is what I'd take. This list is subject to change, but it has been exactly the same for over a year so...
