Rodial instaglam is the range of face make-up offered by a brand famous for its (sometimes outrageously named) luxury skincare.

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.

Lipstick Queen Poppy King – She Rules Supreme!
I have been a Lipstick Queen: Poppy King enthusiast since the Belle of Brockley discovered her products in the early ’90s – Poppy King brought passion, matte red, and drop-dead glam to the beauty market at a time when ‘nude and natural’ was all the rage. Poppy King’s lipsticks were a ray of light in a dull decade, […]
