Here’s a visual delight for you; over 15 minutes of beauty confessional from Yours Truly. I talk about the Ten Year Challenge that took over Instagram and how I feel about my skin now that I’m 38, all via a chat about smoking and cosmetic surgery. So if you’ve ever wondered whether I have Botox or how…
I’ve used the term “foundation” loosely, here, because I mean it to incorporate other face bases such as tinted moisturiser, BB creams and complexion enhancers as well as the traditional high-coverage foundation. In truth, no BB creams or CC creams come anywhere near my top five face bases in terms of the most-used – it’s…
I find it relatively easy and enjoyable to test and monitor the results of skincare for dehydrated skin; not only are these types of products usually light and fresh-feeling and suitable for use nearly all of the time, their effects are often pleasingly noticeable and fast. Never too heavy or greasy, they can usually be…
My monthly hormones have returned from their extended pregnancy/breastfeeding hiatus and are attacking my poor skin with extra enthusiasm. Sore-feeling spots that brew just beneath the surface and an oily t-zone, but at the same time I have a bit of sensitivity and a tendency towards redness that means I have to treat my face with kid gloves. So to speak….
Brace yourselves against the sheer force of my positive vibes here, because this little face mask is a bit of a blinder. (Not literally, that would be terrible! I haven’t actually put it in my eyes, so I can’t be 100% certain, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t make you go blind. There’d be uproar….
There were quite a few people asking about my skin in my latest videos, so I thought I’d quickly run through the makeup I had on. It was a bit of a glowing skin “Dream Team” to be quite honest – all of the below photographs were taken with just natural daylight (they usually are, if…
This came around quickly, didn’t it? I’m still recovering from cooking the Christmas dinner! January Beauty Favourites; we have some hair stuff, some nice morsels of makeup and the results of my sponsored Olay skincare trial*. I also have another giveaway for you (UK only, this time) so keep on reading to find out how…
I seem to be relying on the same few makeup products at the moment, which is no bad thing! It cuts down deliberating time immensely, I just pull out these little beauties and get started! It’s a wonderful thing when you find a little routine that works well for you. I don’t see it as…
I keep seeing this cropping up in various ‘backstage beauty secret’ articles so I thought I’d give it a whirl. You know how I like my balms! First point to note: this says it’s a cream, but it’s most definitely a balm. Anything that is almost solid but then melts down to an oily consistency…
I have used Caudalie products ever since I first started modelling. A friend, who also happened to be a booker at a top Paris agency, left her Caudalie foaming cleanser at my house and I forgot to return it (sorry!) and ever since then, I’ve been hooked! I find the products to be very gentle,…
I’m looking for a Creme de la Mer tester. Someone who will give an unbiased opinion at the end of the (very!) short trial. If you’re that person, then please register your interest on my Facebook Fan Page
Avene’s Gentle Cleanser has been formulated for sensitive skin, and so you just know from the off that it’s going to be soothing and calming.
A light cream mask that helps to soothe and revitalise tired eyes.
Two organic rose-scented creams, one cheap, one expensive….
Weird name, great product – another lovely tinted moisturiser for those who like to keep things light.
I’m quite taken in by claims that this cutting-edge age-reverser will dramatically improve appearance of wrinkles and skin discoloration!
Apple vinegar tightens pores, whilst almond milk and proteins soften skin and smoothe fine lines away…
This is perfect for me to use the night before a shoot to really give my skin a boost and leave it looking rested and fresh!
