Elie Saab In White Fragrance
Since I really, really didn’t like the last Elie Saab fragrance, Girl of Now, I didn’t hold out much hope for this one! Lebanese designer, Elie Saab has 27 fragrances…
Velvotan Mitts
I *think* self tan was invented before self tan applicators – it seems inconceivable now that we applied self tan with bare hands but I am absolutely sure I remember…
Chantecaille Summer 2018
I’ll say up front that I know next to nothing about this forthcoming summer collection from Chantecaille. I saw it at press day and literally begged for the only samples…
Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes Volume 2
This brand loves a bold claim! On this occasion, we’re promised 108% increase in lash thickness and 507% in lash volume. I don’t know what the difference is to be…
La Roche Posay Anthelios SPF50 Pocket Size
So, I think everyone knows Anthelios – it’s widely available and a standard setter in sun protection being UVA/UVB and Infrared protective. It’s also water-resistant (so you can jump in…
Dr Dennis Gross Recovery Peel
A couple of weeks ago I nipped along for a 20 minute facial as Dr Dennis Gross was in town. I loathe facials and rarely do them but because I’m…
Dior Cool Wave Summer
Isn’t Blop the best name for nail polish ever? Dior has the whole aquatic, swimming pool hue thing nailed with their Summer 2018 collection, Cool Wave. I’ve been sent a…
Charlotte Tilbury Bigger Brighter Eyes
These two brand new palettes from Charlotte Tilbury have been designed to enhance both your eye colour and size using optical illusion which the brand terms Prime, Enlarge, Define and…
Dior Mineral Nude Powder
Well, you always know summer is just around the corner when Dior releases their powder bronzers. I know that people buy these by the bucket load – every summer, a…
Rosie for Autograph Starstruck Lip & Cheek Colour
Is it terrible that I had low expectations for these multi-purpose sticks from Rosie For Autograph? Lip & Cheek products rarely work as they’re supposed to because it’s a difficult…
Jo Malone Tropical Cherimoya Cologne
With this brand, you quite often get some slightly advanced notice of what’s coming and when I saw the email about this, I literally could not wait to get my…
Roger & Gallet Feuille de Figuier Wellbeing Water
Part of the Roger & Gallet appeal is that the brand has retained its eau de cologne roots, so that makes for very fresh – and very French – experience.…
Clear Make Up Bags
There’s nothing I can do to gussy up the pictures of these bags because they’re so well used! Every now and again M&S stocks a set of three clear make…
Essence Summer 2018
Essence (available in the UK at Wilco stores with the exception being the new one that’s just opened near me…grrr) is not letting the mermaid trend escape under any circumstances,…
B Lip & Cheek Tint
If you like a creme blush, you’ll definitely like these although I’d never use them as a lip tint unless a dire make up emergency occurred! I’m only rarely tempted…
Chanel Chance Body Oils
I think that fragrance layering has died a death – you really don’t hear of it so much any more and yet at one time, it was positively encouraged to…
Vichy Dermablend Colour Correctors
Vichy Dermablend is very well known for offering high coverage for those that want it. It’s so densely pigmented packed that it can cover just about anything from mild redness…
Coach Floral Fragrance
I love that Coach has brought some of their famous leather cut work to their newest fragrance, Coach Floral. That little pink leather flower really sells the look of the…
What’s Wrong With Boots No7 Laboratories Line Correcting Booster Serum?
Oh, I have some problems with this! Boots are in such a prime position to really change the way that ageing skin and older women are perceived and yet, far…
Isadora Bronzing Highlighting Stick
While it’s the bronzing wheel that looks like the star of the show from the Isadora Beach Collection, I’m really impressed with the creme bronzing highlight stick that’s such an easy…
Valmont Storie Veneziane
I really do fancy myself with a set of Louis Vuitton luggage trunks and fragrance in a leather holder setting out to discover Venice, the city this new fragrance range…
Nailfix & Chill Nail Polish Eraser Cream
The problem with nail polish remover? So many, really. It’s splashy, smelly and dries your nails out and in all these years it’s never been re-invented significantly. Nailfix & Chill…
Serge Lutens Lip Palette
What can’t Serge Lutens do? His resume comprises photography, fragrance creation, make up artistry, hair styling, fashion design and film making. How can one person be good at so many…
Origins Feel Good Soap Set
Although I’m having a bit of a romance with Jo Malone hand washes (orange blossom… it’s an addiction) I’ve also got solid soaps everywhere. Currently, some tiny Clarins ones that…
Givenchy Le Rouge Couture Edition 2018
Each time these beautiful couture edition lipsticks from Givenchy come around, they get better and better. This one is heading our way in June so we have a while to…
Kryolan Lip Stain
We have a lot of make up ranges now that imply they’re for the ‘pro’ but adding that prefix doesn’t make the products any better or different. In most working…
Vichy Ideal Soleil Solar Protective Water
Well, this is impressive. I’ve been thinking a lot more about sun protection recently because I’m trialing a selection of retinol products for the next two weeks so I’ve had…
MAC x Patrick Starrr
Of all the big US ‘guru’ type influencers, Patrick Starrr is the one that is universally well regarded. There’s a clique whose lives are continual drama, and when there’s a…
The Body Shop Limited Edition Soaps
I went out in the rain this morning to buy these little bunnies after seeing them on Instagram this morning. How sweet! There are three limited editions soaps, each with…
Bobbi Brown Capri Nudes
The new Dreaming of Capri collection from Bobbi Brown is literally five items – there’s no excess on this leanly trimmed seasonal collection, and weirdly, no lip product. It’s the…
