In-Flight Essentials...
Monday 28th July 2008

I’m always intrigued to see what’s in people’s ‘Under 100ml zip-lock’ when they put it through security at the airport. I think it’s a real insight into what people see as their ‘beauty must-haves’ – or in fact how important people rank having their beauty products with them at all. I...

Wedding Essentials...
Tuesday 24th June 2008

With the wedding season in full swing, I don’t know about everyone else but between friends and families and wedding makeups, I seem to have most weekends booked up from now until August. Makeup’s hugely important to the bride and like everything that goes into the big day, she wants it...

New York New York...
Thursday 5th June 2008

I was in New York last week (so much fun) and whilst there I wandered into the odd(!) shop because quite frankly, it would have been rude not to! Being a makeup junkie I love nothing more than the beauty halls of Bloomingdales and Macy’s and checking out all the latest...

Blusher Tips & Choices...
Monday 5th May 2008

Gel, powder, cream or liquid? Which one would I recommend? The blusher dilemma is an interesting one. Mainly because I’d imagine that, as with the majority of my friends, the majority of you opt for powder. Powder is the easiest fall-back option, safest to apply if you’re unsure about what you’re...

Mineral Makeup: The Latest Buzz Word
Tuesday 15th April 2008

Mineral Makeup is without doubt the latest craze in makeup. Like the phenomenons of ‘Organic’ and ‘Free-Range’ within the food industry, ‘Mineral Makeup’ has hit the makeup industry hard and it’s set to be THE new trend for 2008. Why? Because it has an angle that hasn’t been used in the...

Polyfilla For Your Skin...
Wednesday 26th March 2008

I’m sure you’ll agree that other than a full on facelift and serious amounts of botox you can never actually completely reverse the signs of ageing. Ageing is inevitable and how gracefully you do it is down to genetics, how much time you spend in the sun and how you look...

Making The Most of My Lashes…
Monday 10th March 2008

There seems to be a trend developing in the office. At least three people have recently been sporting false lashes at work. Now I‘ve dabbled with falsies in the past but only really for big events and parties - day-wear takes it to a whole new level. One of the girls...

The Big Brush Dilemma…
Friday 15th February 2008

Working in the cosmetics industry, the most common questions I get asked is which company make the best brushes and which brushes are essential? Being a makeup junkie I love most brushes and see them all as essential so... they’re tricky questions to answer! However I recently had a bit of a...

Partying With The Stars...
Thursday 31st January 2008

So I was lucky enough to get an invite to the Kiss It Better appeal launch party last night in Harrods! Kiss It Better is a relatively new appeal, working to raise awareness and money for research into childhood cancer. The night started with a few songs from boy-band/ easy listening/...

New Year, New Makeup Ideas....
Thursday 24th January 2008

Out with the old and in with the new, and all that jazz. Why not combine the new you (now you’re on your New Years detox and exercise plan) with a new makeup look? So the pre-christmas party look was definitely a focus on lips. Bold and beautiful to attract those Christmas...

Now It's Me Time...
Thursday 10th January 2008

Not sure about you but I definitely overdid it over Christmas and New Year. I always do and then I vow to detox in January. Invariably I then get sucked in to going out again and before I know it the detox is broken. This year, I’m promising myself, will be...

New York Trends...
Thursday 3rd January 2008

I was in New York last week (so much fun) and whilst there I wandered into the odd(!) shop because quite frankly, it would have been rude not to! Being a makeup junkie I love nothing more than the beauty halls of Bloomingdales and Macy’s and checking out all the latest...

Men In Makeup...?
Wednesday 12th December 2007

I turned my last boyfriend into a product junkie within 2 months of going out with him. When we met he’d no interest in products whatsoever; he was a rugby playing macho guy who used deodorant, shower gel and a splash of cologne when he went out. But as soon as...

Glamour Without The Glitter...
Friday 30th November 2007

Glamour Without The Glitter… We all want to look great at this time of year don’t we? Whether it’s to impress our colleagues or to find someone to have a cheeky kiss with under the mistletoe – what we look like is top of the agenda. So what’s the best look to...
