It’s no secret that I love skincare. All right, I don’t believe all the promises made for every single product I buy – but yes, I would like a magic wand waved over some dodgy areas. The anti-ageing market in the UK is worth billions – but do any of the products actually work? This …
Child Two and I were in Covent Garden yesterday and found ourselves passing the new Charlotte Tilbury shop, all done out in her signature smouldering wine and gold colours. Charlotte Tilbury is the British make-up artist responsible for Keira Knightley’s smokey eyes (98 per cent of her acting talent, some would say) as well as …
It’s been ages since I got a Clinique free gift. We used to get them as often as we could as students – which wasn’t often at all. My flatmate and great friend was a fellow Clinique fan so in theory, we could buy one product each and then split the gift (it’s always been …
As promised, here’s my review of some of the new products I was given at the Look Good, Feel Better makeover session I went to at the Haven. These are things that I wouldn’t necessarily have picked up for myself, so it was really interesting to be able to try them. Some have become firm …

Apparently 98 per cent of women with breast cancer have parabens from …
Summer’s here (or it was yesterday when it was finally warm enough in London for me to take my socks off) and it’s time to try new things. So I’ve got some make-up goodies to review, ready for you to take on holiday. 1. Eyeko Fat Brush Mascara. I was given this as a present …
OK, can you read on, please, and tell me if this ever happens to you: 1. I decided I HAD to have a new waterproof mascara to take to hospital. As you do. I think I was envisaging brave tears of pain, without panda smears. Little did I know there is no pain in hospital …
Sponsored And talking of cleaning and polishing …. another in my Beauty Bits series, this time on good ways to start the day. As October darkens and November prepares to drizzle in, I definitely need something with a bit of oomph to wake me up in the morning as I stare at the mirror in …
Sponsored post Ok, I admit it, I am consciously Keeping Busy in order to get over the strangeness of a house without Child One needing conversation and an endless supply of bananas. TL did say in the run-up to uni that we should let all the supermarkets near us know that Child One was leaving …
