Kicking off my new ‘Product of the Week’ slot is a brilliant under-eye concealer which basically provides everything you need for eyes in one.

I’ve always loved By Terry products as they are always multi-effective, thus saving on layering of too many products and ultimately money. Even if they do cost that little bit more; they are all worth the initial outlay. Continue Reading

As someone who can’t bear foundation or any sort of make-up on my face, I’m forever trying to find that miracle product to make my skin glow and mask its imperfections. I’m not asking for much am I?!
My latest find is the night and day combo from Bare Minerals, the people behind the cult mineral make-up brand. Both their day and night treatment are fine mineral powders (available in four shades) comprising their Active Soil Complex which basically aids in skin regeneration by increasing cell turnover. Both the day and night make skin look luminous, less flawed, radiant and more toned both when on the skin and with continued use.

I’ve just left the City. No, I’m not back to work at a trading desk nor am I drinking with ex-colleagues (much)! I have just left the consulting rooms of a little known star in the making who has with a swift wave of her small syringe made me look a million times better and feel pretty again!
I arrived with trepidation having met her for the first time yesterday in a building behind the gherkin where this GP splits her time between there and Harley Street. A thirty three years young with a perfect skin, she has yet to build a big press presence so I was taking a leap of faith. A consultation and advice to go away and take arnica tablets for the next 24 hours left me worried (does she bruise everyone because no other practitioners have ever told me to do this) before returning for treatment
Taking to her, she definitely knows her stuff. A passion for the artistic side with her goal to restore and give back a lost youthful look rather than to drastically change, she certainly has an eye for what needs ‘fixing’ without overdoing it. Subtlety is her thing as it should be. You should expect to be able to walk out of her office and go straight back to work and she achieves that.
Originally from Birmingham she is just establishing herself here and it won’t be long until I’ll have wait to get an appointment! Continue Reading

If you’ve been looking for that special something for that very special someone or in fact, as the case usually is, if you haven’t been looking because you haven’t had time and even worse, you forgot here’s two gorgeous gift ideas for Mother’s Day. I love both and know my Mum would feel spoilt with either! There’s a luxurious bath oil and a stunning silk scarf. Continue Reading
