MUFE Smoky Lash Mascara Review

 I am utterly invisible without mascara, more and more these days I realise that it truly is my desert island beauty product.  Well, if you ignored lipstick, foundation and skincare it would be … [ahem] I’ve heard some amazing things about Makeup Forever’s Smoky Lash mascara, but the name – and the difficulty of actually getting hold of it – has always put me off.  […]

Sephora Paris Giveaway

Man, I miss Sephora! Subject to a couple of caveats – more about which later – I wish they’d bring it back to the UK, I think the time is right, and the market is more than ready this time around. But, as Sephora has seemingly no plans whatsoever to bring Sephora back in the near future, I thought that I would do my part […]

Project Perfume – Serge Lutens

If you’re in Paris, and if you’re at all interested in perfume, then there’s one pilgrimage that you have to make, and that is to worship – just a little bit – at the shrine of Serge Lutens, which you can find at Palais Royal, just behind the Louvre.  It’s a stunning store, as different as different can be from the Caron store I showed […]

Musings on Paris – Caron

So much to tell you about Paris – I hope you’ll forgive me a number of posts about it, but I’ve never been before, and I spent the whole trip gazing around like a complete and utter idiot tourist, and I loved every single minute of it. Beautymouth (aka “Hilda”) mentioned that it was a bit like being on holiday with a puppy, and she […]

Random Sunday Stuff – Featuring Sudocrem

Sudocrem, that staple of many a bathroom, is bringing out a handbag-sized tube, and to celebrate they were offering “handbag readings” by Debbie Percy who has made a career out of Bagology.  Apparently, what you carry around with you every day – both your bag and the contents can be a lot more revealing about you than you think!  Here’s my bag, and its contents: […]

Guerlain Terracotta Skin Foundation

I’ve been ill – I might have mentioned it, now I come to think of it – and, after the best part of two weeks in bed with a fever, and still wracked with a cough like a beagle on 40 a day a very bad cough indeed, I’m not looking like the healthiest person on the planet.  Pale green, and pale blue and pale […]
