Oh, great. Another hormonal break out. UGH! Just when I think all I need to do is manage my ageing skin, another zit pops up. Ugh. Hormonal acne is difficult to control, as it rarely influenced by what you put ON the skin. I have found it is exacerbated by certain skincare products, like silicones…

Perfect Pinky Nude Lips & Nails By Marc Jacobs Beauty
I am perilously close to having a Marc Jacobs Beauty addiction. When it first launched I thought, “Oh great. Another fancy person/designer/tv star/whatever has tossed licensed their brand and slapped it on to what will likely be a mediocre line of beauty products”. I’m not afraid to eat those words *crunch crunch* and admit I…
CHANEL’s Summer of Purple Lashes, Hot Pink Lips & Bright Tips
Chanel’s Summer 2014 makeup collection, Reflets d’Ete, is chock full of gorgeous brights. Bright and vivid, and almost reminiscent of the eighties. Especially the purple mascara, Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara Violet Touch. There was an orange mascara as well, which I passed on. Hard to imagine orange mascara being flattering on anyone other than a Chanel model….
Life On Nars: Their Reformulated Nail Polish Is Out Of This World
There is much to love about the Nars cosmetic line. It’s lways right on-trend, while always remaining classic and elegant, and never trendy. I’ve always admired their nail polishes but somehow never bought one. Their colours are super chic, and I recall lemming several of their collections. The 2012 Andy Warhol Collection stands out in…
Even Grown Ups Get Break Outs – Vichy Is Here For Your Skintervention
There is something completely unfair about having to battle ageing skin AND acne at the same time. Yes we know, the plus side to having acne prone skin is that oily skin does not wrinkle as early and as much as dry skin. So there’s that. But that is cold comfort when yet another breakout…
Tresemme Keratin Smooth – Silky Hair That Won’t Break The Bank
Tresemme has been around for ages, and is a trusted drugstore brand. It’s not expensive, but is also gentle on hair, and I know many women who swear by their products. So I was keen to try their latest offering, 7 Day Keratin Smooth. It joins the popular trend of using protein in hair products…
Give the Gift of Manly Grooming
Father’s Day is coming, and what better way to treat Dear Old Dad than with some primo grooming? Vintage is a buzzword used in everything today, including fashion, beauty, and even home decor. The vintage beauty and skincare trend has never been bigger than it is right now in men’s grooming. And that is a good…
The Sweetness of Butter London Sweet Somethings Polish Set
I have become a lover of Butter London since I first got All Hail The Queen. Their polishes have a gorgeous consistency and apply like a dream – practically by themselves. Molly Coddle has become a favourite – I wear it almost every other manicure. This is saying a lot. I recently spotted the Butter…
No socks? Open toes? Time For Pretty Feet
I have a foot thing. I want them to be pretty and/or groomed. That’s all. It’s not hard to do, and the rest of the world will thank you. There is no need to be uber high maintenace – trust me, for a beauty obsessive, I am probably the laziest around. It’s not about the…
Prince Matchabelli Wind Song On My Mind…
I recently rewatched one of my favourite movies, The Bridges of Madison County. I love it not just for the heartbreaking love and longing between Francesca (Meryl Streep, positively radiant and perfect as always) and Richard (the manly and gallant Clint Eastwood). And, as a perfume addict, I am a constant watcher for perfume mentions…
