I’ve recently tried two products that have the most handy packaging I’ve ever used. I’m hoping this will be the next big thing, because: 1. It’s handy 2. It’s budget-friendly 3. It’s hygienic The two products were Dr Lewinn’s Line Smoothing Complex S8 Hydrating Day Cream and Code Glokolor N. All-uid Foundation. Dr Lewinn’s moisturiser comes in a standard tub. …
I have a terrible habit of tugging on my eyelashes when I’m stressed, and since I’m frequently stressed, my lashes have suffered! As a result, I use false lashes a lot, and I’m pretty good at applying them (I can put them on in a moving train without a mirror now!), but I still hadn’t tried mink lashes until now. …

Rimmel Provocalips is my new favourite lipstick. It may be the last lipstick I ever need (OK, that’s obviously a lie, but you get the idea – I’m obsessed). I love lipstick, but I’m a low-maintenance girl. I’m pretty lazy, and checking my make-up in the mirror on a regular basis is too much for me to deal with. I …
It’s hard to think of a more formidable figure in science-based skincare than Paula Begoun. She’s been breaking through beauty marketing bullshit for 30 years, and while I don’t necessarily agree with all of her conclusions about skincare ingredients, it’s impossible to deny her positive influence.
