You don't need to be green-fingered to fall in love with Privet Beauty, a quirky new beauty salon in West London where nail polish resides in plant pots, and you are pummelled and 'pruned' in cabins, huts and sheds. The interior is part Chelsea Flower Show, part Alpine ski chalet and part Kew Gardens,...
It's Friday, and definitely time for some more sexy Sleek MakeUP - this time it's the vibrant Blush By 3 in Lace 367 (£9.99), and the i-Divine Au Naturel Palette in Au Naturel 601 (£7.99). Both palettes are well made and look pricier than they actually are. Featuring matte...
I've still not fallen out of love with mineral make-up, so I was excited to try Antipodes' new Performance Plus Skin Brightening Mineral Finishing Powder (£27.99). Hailing from New Zealand, this natural brand has been receiving rave reviews recently for its mineral foundation, and the light-as-air...
This natural beauty is so gorgeous it's almost a shame to use it! Updated for 2014, Trilogy Everything Balm (from £12.50 for 45ml) is one of those products that, once you own, you will wonder how you ever lived without it. Its uses are plentiful: lip balm, heel balm, hand...
Budget beauty alert! Collection have really stepped up a gear lately, and hot on the heels of their trend-led Mardi Gras make-up collection is the new Work the Colour Eyebrow Kit (£3.99). Considering the ridiculously low price point, this is an excellent buy - take a...
Benefit have really excelled themselves this time with a brilliant and really fun concept centred around the World Cup. Gabbi's Head, the brand's first World Cup pub (who'd have thought?), is situated on the first floor of a traditional Covent Garden boozer, and what a makeover...
I love dual-purpose products, and when they're organic, even better! I'd not come across One Love Organics before, but the cool, apothecary-esque packaging was enough to make me want to find out more. Brand New Day Microderma Scrub & Masque contains gentle exfoliating granules and can be used as...
I've never tried Sleek MakeUP before, but having had a taste of the quality (and price) of this high street beauty range at an event last week, I'm really rather impressed. The new foundation, Bare Skin (£8.99), is rather good. I had it colour-matched to my skintone and applied...
Here's a beauty discovery that I am loving at the moment - Per-fekt Beauty Lash Perfection Gel (£24). I actually like everything I've tried from US brand Per-fekt Beauty, including this mascara hybrid, which claims to be able to strengthen, lengthen, darken and condition lashes to leave them...
And now for something that will definitely brighten up a grey day: Collection's new Mardi Gras make-up range. Inspired by the spirit of Rio, carnivals and the sun-drenched tropics, this uplifting collection features three on-trend nail polishes and three limited edition flavoured lip balms. And if the colours don't do...
