North, South, East, West – These London Shops Are The Very Best For Last Minute Christmas Shopping
Addicted to the thrill of last minute Christmas shopping? Me too! I figured out a long time ago that the lazy and unmotivated Christmas shopper can pass herself off as the Queen of Thoughtful Gifting, as long as she confines her in-store shopping to those genius retailers who pack a small floor-space with a staggering array of products, […]
Daniel Sandler INTENSE VOLUME Pro Mascara Review
I was very excited to be offered Daniel Sandler INTENSE VOLUME Pro Mascara to try, prior to its recent launch. Daniel Sandler is a brand – and a lovely person – that I only discovered through blogging. It’s probably the most valuable discovery I’ve made! Once you try Daniel Sandler products, you’re pretty much hooked, as the products are innovative, […]
QUEEN Cosmetics Allergy Certified Skincare
I have written before about my love for Queen, the British skincare and cosmetics company which has kept high-society faces looking Grace-Kelly-fresh for almost 90 years. Queen will never lose their place in my personal Top 10 of Glamour Brands, as they possess niche appeal and back-story to die for. Queen have built their success upon products […]
Rodial instaglam Review
Rodial instaglam is the range of face make-up offered by a brand famous for its (sometimes outrageously named) luxury skincare. Rodial offer the thrill of feeding our faces with Snake Venom and Dragon’s Blood – making skincare feel exciting and something that a Bad Girl can go in for. This particular Bad Girl likes junk food, late nights […]
Embryolisse Lait-Cr̬me Concentr̩ Рthe Ultimate Moisturiser
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré, the most well-known of the products in the Embryolisse Laboratoires range, was created in 1950 by a dermatologist working in a Paris hospital. This suits-all-skins moisturiser is celebrating its 65th birthday, and has re-packaged for the occasion in deep, shiny gold. Although Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré has been around for generations, my first encounter with […]
Sephora Pore Clarifying Mask Review
The Sephora Pore clarifying mask is an impulse purchase driven by the name – the French name that is. Masque à gommer désincrustant sounds like it means business, non? I have combination skin, with a tendency to congestion around the chin and flaky dry bits around my eyebrows. Could the Sephora Pore clarifying mask offer a cheaper […]
J’aime Bien Le Shopping! French Beauty Haul
It might have been a short holiday; it might have been a family holiday; but we were in La Belle France, so obviously, there was going to be le shopping! Allow me to present: the French Beauty Haul … Never get a migraine in Disneyland Paris: you can’t find painkillers for love nor money! The upside […]
Mary Greenwell and Get The Gloss at the Chanel Beauty Boutique
On Thursday evening, the online beauty and health magazine Get The Gloss hosted a reader event at the Chanel Beauty Boutique in Covent Garden. Two hours watching make-up artist of international renown Mary Greenwell demonstrate iconic Chanel products? For a mere £25, redeemable against purchases? I wasted no time in booking my place … It is wonderful to […]
Short Trip Essentials – beauty round-up
I’m off on a little family holiday, and with the cab booked to arrive in about six hours, it’s time to pack! Since I’m going to Paris: home to my great loves Sephora, Galleries Lafayette and any old pharmacy, I want to pack light. The products in the picture to the left are my short trip essentials. […]
