Lancome’s newest launch is a selection of beauty boosters, the most useful of which is the Long Time No Shine (great name) powder to set and mattify, as well as…

I gave a sneaky peek of the Dolce & Gabanna Millenial Skin Tinted Moisturiser a while back, but now I have had a bit more time with it – and a…

So, the final Anna Sui Autumn post! This time it’s all about cheeks and complexion, starting with the Face Colours. Now, you might wonder what the heck you do with…

This is the second of three autumn Anna Sui posts – there is so much new product! Next up are the gift sets – three glorious tins featuring the ‘dollies’…

I’m slightly cursing this beautiful blush – no matter what light I try and photograph it in, it somehow looks less impressive than it really is. I use natural light…

I’m going to drop the most over-used word in social media about these limited edition colour cases for the Anna Sui 20th Anniversary collection – OBSESSED! I am truly obsessed…

These new shadows from Hourglass are truly impressive. They’re a kind of creme foil texture (glitter isn’t really the most appropriate description in my view) that create a wet-look finish…

This truly is a tiny peek at the forthcoming Bobbi Brown Camo Luxe Collection – I literally have one item at the moment (more to follow) but it’s exactly the right…

I love the story behind this mascara – apparently, Marc Jacobs’ mother used to shave velvet ribbon to create fibres with which to make her own false lashes. It’s only…

I think this is a really, really good looking foundation. I’d grab it off a shelf without thinking twice on looks alone. I’ve already seen that many people are drawing…

Wow! If you know a happier looking lipstick collection, I’d like to know about it! Aren’t these new autumn collection lippies from Guerlain gorgeous? I find it a bit strange…

I’d love lip ‘veils’ to have their own category in the same way that lip sticks and lip glosses do – they’re so completely handy for anything at all if…

The Le Rouge Crayon de Couleur Mat is a more gentle matte than the Rouge Allure Inks – I would describe the finish as ‘leather’ in that it’s not a…

I’m splitting this post into two because otherwise it’s so picture heavy and kicking off the Chanel Fall/Winter look with eyes and putting lips and nails in a second post…

Here’s something a bit different from Suqqu as part of their autumn/winter collection launching tomorrow at Selfridges. These Glow Touch Eyes are absolutely gorgeous and super easy to apply for…

So, these turn out to be very aptly named because they really are delightful! I can pretty much guarantee you won’t have felt a texture exactly like this one before…

This is such a great collaboration – really, a joyful celebration of colour that’s a delight to see and use. Whether you have any connection with the design duo (confusingly,…

We’ve seen this format before from Clarins but to my mind it makes a lot more sense as a brow product – if you like your brows highly groomed, everything…

Strangely, about two days after these arrived at my desk, a reader Tweeted me asking for a recommendation for a matte orange lipstick. I sent her straight in the direction…

The new Kat Von D Lash Liner is formulated for the inner rims of your eyes. I guess you would say it’s a pre-made version of the Laura Mercier Tightline Cake…

I am a huge fan of serum foundations – I love the skin feel of the soft and pliable texture that allows my complexion to breathe and feel hydrated. One…

For all that I say ignore the age target of make up brands and wear whatever you like, there clearly is a gap in the market for make up that…

There are some gorgeous, innovative products coming from Essence for the new season, but I’ll kick off with these eye & face palettes which I absolutely love. They’re such good…

If you’re the kind of person that doesn’t meticulously plan your social life but just goes with the flow, you’ll probably find yourself doing things spontaneously and last minute. All…

You’re going to gasp when I tell you this little brush is £66. I KNOW! But bear with… I was an early adopter of Artis oval style brushes, in truth…

I know.. how cute!! Benefit is one of very few brands (*racks brains for others*) that actually makes a mini size foundation for when you’re travelling ultra-light. These mini-sizes are…

Oh my goodness! These MAC Plenty of Pout Plumping Lipsticks are fiery! I really didn’t like the feel of them on my lips at all and took it off at the…

For some reason, I always expect palettes like this one from Revlon to be creme rather than powder. This is definitely powder although it has such a fine finish I…

Rouge Perfecto first launched in 2016 as a balmy tint of colour that leaves a stain on the lip while making them feel soft and comfortable. First time around, there…
