From the monthly archives: October 2010
Yes, it’s the end of the month again, which means that you get to see another “Beauty Round-Up”! I’ve managed to actually publish my October video in October, which is quite an accomplishment for me, let me tell you. I hope that you like it – as you will see, I made [...]
Continue Reading →Here’s a funky little video that I made when I was experimenting with my Cover FX products. Apologies in advance for the terrible music, Youtube wouldn’t let me use my first choice and so I swapped it for the best thing I could find. In the video I create a nice flawless base [...]
Continue Reading →Jeez Lousie – this mask really does do what it says it’s going to do, and more; I have used it twice now and both times it has surprised me with it’s sheer effectiveness. These Omorovicza people don’t mess about, I’m telling you – using this mask is like sending [...]
Continue Reading →I had the wonderful opportunity today of meeting Aaron de May, Lancôme’s Global Makeup Director. He was in London Selfridges to launch the L’Wren Scott collection for Christmas 2010, but on an extremely tight schedule and so he managed to pack about one thousand makeup tips and ideas into [...]
Continue Reading →Check this out! (Sorry to sound like an excited pre-teen, but this is a jolly good prize!) A totally gorgeous gift set containing the most luxurious items from l’Occitane’s new Fleur Cherie range, it contains a full-sized Eau de Toilette, the beautiful Lip Jewel Palette, Radiance Powder Pearls for [...]
Continue Reading →I’m not sure whether any of you have ever had a proper spa ‘bath’ – by that I mean immersed in water that has had specific things added to it to detoxify the body or help to soothe muscles and so on. I had a jolly good time in [...]
Continue Reading →On the average day of castings, I take around six tube journeys (that’s six lots of running up the escalators as I can’t stand still!) and I walk for miles. I’m not exaggerating, neither am I moaning – I love a good, brisk walk. Walking is better when the [...]
Continue Reading →Check out this eyeliner! I have been raving about this on my Youtube videos recently – if you don’t watch my videos, then you’re missing out! I do all kinds of interesting things in them…like…put on makeup and stuff. No, honestly, they’re great if you want to see products actually working and [...]
Continue Reading →As most of you are aware, I’m a total sucker for a ‘gift with purchase’ – especially the Clinique Bonus Time. I literally have hundreds of mini bottles and tubes and they’re invaluable for me when I travel abroad for shoots. This particular Bonus Time really caught my eye because I loved [...]
Continue Reading →A couple of weeks ago I went to visit the wonderful treasure-trove of a shop that is Cosmetics a la Carte. The shop, in Motcomb Street, has had a bit of a facelift, but I also had been waiting for an excuse to meet the infamous Lynne Sanders, cosmetic [...]
Continue Reading →If you are a l’Occitane fan you’ll have probably already heard about their new fragrance, Fleur Cherie. If you buy InStyle magazine, you’ll also know all about it, because this month’s has a free Fleur Cherie hand lotion! I have been using the body lotion, which is quite possibly the most fragranced [...]

Last week I popped to Texas Embassy for the launch of OPI’s SS2011 nail polish collection. Please note that it was Texas Embassy the bar/restaurant, not The Texan Embassy. Texas wouldn’t have an embassy, obviously, it being a state and not a country, but I just [...]
Continue Reading →There are two jars on my desk; two very plain jars with simple labels bearing very simple descriptions of the contents – one is marked ‘Skin Serum’, the other ‘Intensive Face Balm’. These jars contain products that were, until now (BIG MOUTH ME!) one of Devon’s best-kept secrets. Don’t [...]
Continue Reading →Just a little peek into my makeup and toiletries bag for the Glasgow trip last week; a few new things that I’m trying – I will report back on them in due time – and a few old favourites. Below the video there’s an inventory of all products included [...]
