Friday Post: Restorative Make-Up For The Morning After…
I haven’t drunk nearly enough this week for the following information to be truly useful so am relying on you to go out tonight and get utterly in your cups, just so’s you can give it a fair go tomorrow morning. And before you mention last Tuesday, I’m talking pink-eyed, pale-faced, dead-and-dug-up-again hungover, which unhappily … Continue reading
Trick Of The Week…
My eyeliner and I have not been great friends this week. I like to wear it densely rimmed inside my lashes (top and bottom) but when the wind is this biting and my eyes water this much, it doesn’t stay put for long. Hoorah then for this week’s best discoveries, which (not counting the fact … Continue reading

I’m Dreaming Of A Kawaii Christmas
There’s something about a Christmas make-up collection. They’re beautiful and all, but I always want to look rather than touch. This year has seen some of the prettiest and most wearable yet but I haven’t poked in as much as a single finger. Until now… Now that’s what I’m talking about. Observe the marshmallow pinks! … Continue reading
Friday Post: Kay Montano’s Daytime Red Lip
There’s something about a red lip in the daytime. While I’d rarely wear red in the evening, a quick whip of scarlet on a Saturday afternoon is a non sequitur of a make-up gesture that I really love – a little bit unnecessary, and remarkably cheering when you’re grubbing around in jeans and a jumper. … Continue reading
Treat Of The Week!
At the risk of cannibalising a couple of posts I’m sitting on, I must tell you, this very instant, that you are nothing this Christmas…and I mean nothing…without Bobbi Brown Glitter Eyeliner in Gold (£14.50) and Metallic Lip Color in Jewel Red (£15.50). In fact, I feel so strongly about this that I have cut … Continue reading
What Something Purty Wore This Weekend
Which of these makes me less of a beauty editor…cycling 55km to Kent and back in unfashionable trainers and ten year old jogging pants, or sinking a bottle of Rioja, a pumpkin risotto and an apple crumble in the pub afterwards? Whatever, I have a chapped face to show for it, and while the Rioja … Continue reading
Treat Of The Week!
Oh for a macaron right now. Oh for Monday, when the macaron of all macarons, the John Galliano Macaron, arrives at Ladurée, all rosy and gingery, in boxes of six, eight or eighteen (I’ll supersize please…just for the box, you understand….for the storage). In the meantime, I’ll settle for a rich tea and Chantecaille’s gloriously … Continue reading
Friday Post: Come Fly With Me
(Or How To Be The Burberry Girl) So hands up who doesn’t want to be the Burberry Girl? Of course you do – and if it’s not the belted and buckled outerwear that’s reeling you in (it’s all about the coats, bags and boots, says designer Christopher Bailey) then it’s her air of cool … Continue reading
