DISCLAIMED: This blog post is an advertisement fesature for a sponsored project with Schwarzkopf You know what I love about being British? Well, many things. Proper tea, for example. And…

When I was younger, I knew literally NOTHING about make-up and skincare. Like, nothing. But that didn’t stop me making every mistake possible through experimenting. I had one of those…

I want to talk about botox. Because botox – although used cosmetically for the past 15 years – remains a dividing issue. Images of Ab Fab’s Patsy and over-zealous use…

Sheet masks aren’t new. Actually, they’re pretty old now, and since coming over from Korea a few years ago just about every brand has their own one. Which makes choosing…

Last night, I saw a friend for dinner. His face was so burnt it was practically day glo. Like, more red than mine after running 5k on a relatively chronic…

Last week, my ordinarily-hectic schedule turned into a whirlwind of champagne parties, late nights and 3-a-day make-up changes. Which wasn’t great for my training or newfound macro-counting, and was disastrous…

If you don’t know about Deciem, you’re about to. They’re a Canadian beauty brand that launched over here a few years ago and have been quietly shaking up how we do…

Ok, I’ll admit: I wrote this blog with a view to it going up before Fashion Week. But somehow I never got round to finishing it. The past few days…

I am super picky about my skin. My regime is fastidious and bed-min completely unmissable. This near-militant skincare discipline was instilled in me when I was writing beauty features for Marie Claire –…

Last night was the UK premiere of the new Beauty And The Beast film. This was crazy exciting for many reasons, mainly because I basically modelled myself on Belle when…

I love Valentines’ Day, I need it to remember who loves me. Said literally no-one, literally never. But ignoring it entirely does feel a little blah. SoI figured I might…

I don’t think I’d be jumping the gun by saying it’s very nearly party season. I first voiced this suggestion just before Hallowe’en and was brutally rebuffed. Apparently it is Not…
