Cosmetics brand Eyeko have relaunched in a huge, huge way. I loved the cheeky ‘cartoonish’ look of the old Eyeko, but have to admit that the new packaging is super-swish. Eyeko’s tube mascaras are squeezable so that you can get every last bit of mascara out – I dread to think how [...]

Changes are afoot, my friends. Changes are afoot.
I wanted that to sound really mysterious but I’m not quite sure that it worked. Had I said it in person, from atop a black stallion, wearing a dark, hooded cloak then I think it may have taken on an ominous [...]

We’re having a mini heat-wave here in the UK – how utterly fantastic!
I was just sorting through some images that needed processing and I found this one, taken very sneakily by Mr AMR when I was engrossed in my reading. (Location: Aenaon Villas. Heaven on earth!) I [...]

I met some absolute characters at Nutri Beauty’s open day. It’s often a real eye-opener to meet the ‘people behind the brands’ – they come from all walks of life and usually have extremely interesting stories to tell! It’s always a treat to be able to sit [...]

Floris have launched two new special edition fragrances into their Private Collection: Mahon Leather and Sirena. Mahon Leather is far too masculine for me to even consider wearing myself, but I love the light freshness of Sirena. If you tend to stay away from ‘mainstream’ mass-produced fragrances, then make a point of [...]

I have been messing about with bronzers over the last week, looking for ones that are good for taking us into the autumn months. I’m “fall”ing in love (sorry) with Sue Devitt’s Gel Bronzer, which you might think a strange choice for autumn, but do let me explain. Autumn bronzers, [...]

I’m instantly instantly impressed with this. A facial moisturiser to balance oily/combination skin, it’s one of the rare few that actually feels (and is) hydrating at the same time. Not all of us combination-skinned people want a tight-feeling gel formula or something that’s fluid and light.. Some of us, especially [...]

Next in line for the Autumn Winter Makeup Collections: NARS! I loved the ‘winged’ look in the campaign picture (shown in video) so I darkened down my brows a little, donned a sexy Vivienne Westwood number and got cracking with the eyeliner pencil! I haven’t gone anywhere near as dramatic [...]

After the astonishing effects of using a regular overnight exfoliant (see my Liquid Gold review and my ‘skincare secrets’ video) I decided that I would try out all manner of different brighteners and chemical ‘resurfacers’. There are so many out there, so it is taking me a while, [...]

As things seem to have gone a little bit Glossybox Crazy in the beauty world, I thought that I’d take a look at some of the other ‘beauty subscriptions’ on offer. I have had a few suggestions, including Boudoir Prive and FeelUnique’s version, but I was instantly intrigued by the ‘Latest in [...]

I got some photos back from my sister’s wedding in August and so thought I’d show you what I wore, specifically the Catherine Malandrino dress that I bought way back in May. Unbelievably, they still have them on The Outnet reduced from £380 to £152. I’m considering going [...]

A few little festival beauty bits to share with you – I don’t know whether you can tell that I was attempting to go to the Bestival fancy dress as Dolly Parton, but I was. I‘m well aware that I didn’t quite get there and that I look more [...]

Oh-ho-ho. This is how you do a ‘gift with purchase’! Granted, you have to spend over £90 on beauty – not ideal – but if you were thinking of buying your Christmas pressies early, then it’s something to consider! You’ll have a nice little ‘reward’ for your organised, conscientious spending!

I am outrageously excited by new skincare range SUPER, which launched in the UK this week. It’s a diffusion line from longtime skin guru Dr Perricone, who is known for looking after the faces of Hollywood’s finest. His primary range (called Perricone MD) is pretty pricey, and though it’s packed [...]
