I will readily admit that I’ve gone a bit gah-gah for the idea of summer; I can’t wait to sit in my garden (if I ever get back to my house to sit in my garden!) and feel the warm sun on…
You may remember that in mid-December I started trialling the Regenerist Luminous Serum and Regenerist Luminous Brightening & Protecting SPF20 Moisturiser, both new products from Olay*. (If they haven’t reached the shelves yet then they will be with you very soon, I’d imagine.)…
I thought I’d just slip in a quick favourites video before I start on the Christmas Gift Guides; this month I’ve focused on skincare because my skin has been so up and down! Flaky red patches, a few mammoth spots…
I’m becoming more and more adventurous with my face oils, trying all sorts of different textures and blends. There are so many out there to choose from – dry oils, oils with aromatherapy blends, balancing oils for blemish-prone skin, regenerating oils…
I have just finished a month-long testing session using Lancôme’s best-selling serum, Advanced Génifique*. Actually, it was slightly more than a month; I managed to tip out the very last drops of serum on day 34, which I thought was pretty good…

There have been loads of questions recently about serums; people wanting to know what they are, what to do with them and – this seems to be the most frequently asked question – whether they are worth the money. Are…
Apologies in advance: this post may make you want things. Because they are pretty bloody good, the products from Sunday Riley. I can’t say that I have tested the entire range, just a few of the hero offerings, but what I…
I was worried that the new serums from Chanel – Le Jour de Chanel, La Nuit de Chanel and Le Weekend de Chanel – would be un petit peu style-over-substance but I must say that I’m very, very pleasantly surprised. It’s a nice idea, at…
I have ten bottles of NeoSTEM Anti-Accelerated Ageing Serum to give away to my readers. This super-serum has been formulated to counteract the signs of premature ageing and especially skin that has become less dense and plump. The leaflet that…
Estée Lauder’s bestselling product, the Advanced Night Repair serum, has just had one serious upgrade. Some would say it’s a risky business tinkering about with a formula that sells one bottle every 8.5 seconds, I’d say it’s simply keeping up with the…
