I originally filmed this video in March 2011, but I had to take it down because of issues with the intro. I was annoyed because it had been my most viewed video EVER, but when I was in LA I found the original video file in my MacBook backup folder! So here it is,...
OK, listen. I'll admit right now that I thought this idea was a bit stupid; it's kind of a YouTube obsession. People show viewers their 'collections' of makeup and how they store it. Personally, I cannot think of anything more boring than watching whole minutes of...
Are expensive lip balms worth the dough? The sensible half of my brain says 'no', but the half that was paying attention when I tested the examples below is screaming YES! These were simply superb - especially the Sisley. Effects were long-lasting and really...
I haven't started the January 'detox' (involves drinking less and eating less, nothing particularly difficult about it!) but I wanted to show you a picture of my face pre-Christmas. Glowy, healthy, radiant... I can assure you that this effect was mostly achieved with...
I have wheeled out lots of my all-time (and new) favourites to create a bit of an indulgent New Year's makeup look. The irony here is that I am probably staying in - I have my sister and her husband coming to stay and we are going for a tres chic dinner on New Year's...
I'm not a habitual red lipstick-wearer, my personal preference being a slick of tinted balm or a nude-ish lip shade, but 'tis the festive season (ugh) and I thought I'd do some jazzing up of my makeup routine. Surprisingly, I am now more than a little bit partial to...
Hooray! The second instalment of the Autumn Winter 2011 Makeup Collections videos! This one features Chanel, YSL (which many of you will have viewed the other day, but lots of people couldn't see the Vimeo clip so I've re-included it) and Sisley. So very high-end, but...
My most-used SPF of the summer, made by the brand that nobody ever knows how to pronounce. Or is it just my immediate family that has a problem with it? One of us says "piss boon", another "pizz boo-in" and my mother, who always pronounces anything she's not sure of...
A bit of a random video, this, with a mixed bag of products. Some things that I only ever buy from the airport (it has become something of a ritual over the years!), some things that are exclusively available at Duty Free (or "Travel Retail" as it is known now) and...
A quick and easy look to take you from beach to bar or wherever it is that you're going. If you're going to bed, don't bother with the makeup, obviously! Haha. Ha. Do you want to see a 'before' picture? Here you go then: What a difference a spot of slap makes, hmm?...
We're getting into 'Summer Proper', (hello? Rain? You can go away now!) and so I thought that I'd put together a few of my Fluro Favourites. Fluros are pretty hard to wear on your face, unless you're ten or going to a fancy dress party, but I've picked out a couple of...
May's Beauty Round-Up is a little late, as you can see. I'll be honest; I completely forgot to do it! Ha! Oh well, better late than never I suppose. And it gives you a chance to see my new highlights and haircut - nothing too drastic, don't panic, but my fringe is...
