Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara
It’s really hard for new mascaras to make a chink in the stronghold that L’Oreal and Benefit has on the mascara market in the UK. Don’t even start me on…
The Body Shop Mediterranean Almond Milk Soothing Mask
The first thing you’ll notice using this new, very-long-name mask from The Body Shop is how cool it feels on your skin. It’s a light and whippy formula boosted with…
Hello Jo Beauty

I expect most of you will have heard of Dr Sam Bunting – I’ve heard her called the ‘clear skin whisperer’ and I’ve even sent my own daughter to see…

How has it taken so long for this palette to arrive? Terry has been with MAC for many, many years starting on the MAC counter at Harvey Nichols and now,…
Shay & Blue King’s Wood

Elemis Pro Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm
Elemis Pro Collagen Cleanser has quickly become an iconic product – it’s one of the most recognisable products from the Elemis brand. It’s known for reliable and thorough cleansing that…
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Liquid Concealer
If this forthcoming product doesn’t become CT’s best-seller, I’ll be amazed. I went to the product launch yesterday, so applied it there and it was still in situ in the…
Paul & Joe Cat Lipstick Case
Tell me this isn’t the best lipstick case ever! If you don’t like cats, then it’s not going to be for you but I love the ethereal, almost ghostly design…

Masque Bar Gold Magic Mask
Despite not loving a wet sheet mask, I don’t mind these rubberized, mix-it-yourself version which are actually quite fun and usually very effective. I’ll say ahead that I haven’t yet…
Sensai Silky Bronze Stick SPF30

I wrote about Biarritz last week, one of three new fragrance waters from Chanel, inspired by places important to Gabrielle Chanel. They’re in the vein of colognes but definitely have…
NO20 Dry Sheet Masks
I can’t remember the last time I used a wet sheet mask. *Wet* masks, yes, but I can’t say I love that dead-flatfish-on-your-face feel of an actual wet sheet. Dry…
Revolution Magnetize Eyeshadow
Well, these are all the wow! I remember MAC did something similar (for three times the price) and was pretty wowed by those, too. The light catching ripple effect relies…
Glossier Cloud Paint New Shades
Meet Storm and Dawn – the newest shades of Cloud Paint from Glossier. I’m really a fan of the brilliantly named Cloud Paint. If you’ve never tried it, it’s a…
Flower By Kenzo Red Edition

Herbivore Skin Care
If my skin could speak it would be saying ‘slather me in this’! What a joy this range is. It’s falling into the ‘clean’ category as everything is made without…
Bobbi Brown Nude on Nude Palettes
In the past, I’ve got very, very bored of endless nude palettes, but I have to say that in a sea of multi-colour palettes these just look so calm and…
