Introducing Liquid Lipsticks (on a budget)

If you know about makeup, you’ll surely know about liquid lipsticks. They are, quite simply, everywhere, and hailed as some sort of miracle, unicorn-blood, fairy-dust magic product. Because I am cynical and grumpy, I generally try to avoid this kind of hype. I’ve tried a few LLs and while I can see the appeal, they […]

Introducing… Natural Collection’s Snowstorm – The Humble Highlighter

A large part of the joy of makeupping is the wandering around Boots, whimsically swatching and aimlessly picking up and putting down. And for days of extreme lack of life-enthusiasm, alongside extreme lack of disposable income, even the most budget of displays can offer a much needed existential massage. This is how I discovered one […]

Smythson’s Large Leather Tote, designed by artist Quentin Jones, is the ultimate summer bag.

This much lauded Ionic brush does pretty shiny things to hair, and eliminates the need for cramming bulky straighteners and blow-dry apparatus in to your bags. Winning at life.

Save on carrying a hefty glass bottle or lots of annoying teensy samples with this compact roll on perfume from luxe brand Diptyque. Fruity, Fresh & just crisp enough.

Aside from just being totally great and too darling to refuse, everybody knows the sweat inducing alarm when you realise that you’ve come away wholly tweezerless. Pluck away merrily and in style with this dinky set.

This colour preserving shampoo is so nourishing that you might not even need conditioner. But just in case you do….

Korres does it again with this extra detangling conditioner which also, amazingly, reduces grimy residue. Definitely worth it at that price too.

Alternatively, should you wish to preserve your blow-dried princess hair for as long as physically possible, this is a total lifesaver. No more curly fringe/frizzy neck hair for you my friend.

This legendary product, also known as the ‘moisture drink’ may be small on size but it is BIG on results. The tiniest bit makes skin buttery soft.

No more slathering on tidemark inducing foundation in the flattering but dimly lit bathroom mirror! Hooray! Ren’s got light coverage plus SPF sorted with this multi-tasking product.

Use it on eyes! Use it on lips! Use it on Cheeks! Take it to bed with you! Kiss it! You’ll wonder what you did before this. I’m serious.

What to pack for a weekend away.

So, you’ve organised yourself a cheeky weekend away somewhere fancy and are looking forward to totally relaxing, turning on the ‘Out of Office’ email bounce-back and hitting the spa. That is, until the dreaded Product Panic sets it. What will you take? How will you fit it all in to your dinky weekend bag? Will […]

Get the Look: Miu Miu SS14

Miu Miu SS14 was a celebration of all things retro. Lace-up knee-high boots in suede and pastel leather, came over over-the-knee socks and beneath mini skirts and floral (or cat) print jackets. The entire collection was kooky and offbeat- signature Miuccia Prada– with a dash of sex appeal. To compliment this Sixties sex kitten, […]

If you’re after soft and beautiful hair like Freida Pinto’s […]

Beauty Bulletin – Crabtree & Evelyn pops-up in Spitafields and Tommy Guns go to Waitrose

Crabtree & Evelyn Pop-Up in Spitafields Crabtree & Evelyn are fast becoming one of my favourite brands. Not only are their hand creams weather defyingly good (the most manual of labourers will have baby soft skin), but you can buy oils and lotions alongside biscuits; what more could a woman want! Christmas this year will […]
