Recently, Studio 10 cancelled it’s fabulous I-Radiance eye palette. I was shocked and devastated. Why would they do that? But it turns out, it was only to upgrade it to a new, even more fabulous palette called Fresh Focus I-Brighten. And fabulous it is! I’ve got a new favourite eye palette The colours are warm and flattering, from delicious caramel …
Last week I shared my micro-needling journey. As I explained, your skin can become a bit dry and flaky afterwards. Even though it doesn’t last long, it’s important to nourish your skin in the right way. I thought I’d get some advice from skin expert and creator of the fabulous DoSe range of skin care, Shabir Daya. He explains exactly …
A few months ago I embarked on three micro-needling sessions. I was drawn to do it as it’s minimally invasive and has been scientifically proven to have a real effect on the skin. So many skin treatments give little value for money Treatments are often extremely expensive, specially when doing a series of them, which is usually the case. It’s …
Nail salons have sprung up all over the place. They are now cheaper, more accessible and are booming. Everyone loves a mani. They especially love a gel mani. No-one bothers with a normal manicure anymore In fact, I’m one of the few people I know who much prefers one. When I go into a salon and say I just want …
I first met radio presenter and now hugely successful influencer, Jo Good, on an episode of Dempsey and Makepeace, when she played a woman of ill repute. We laughed from the moment we met We’ve bumped into each other consistently in our very long careers and are somewhat amazed that we’re still here. Jo became a firm favourite on BBC …
A recent video of mine with Grace Fodor, founder of Studio 10 makeup, on the things to avoid in makeup on a mature skin, went down so well with the team at Hello magazine, that they asked me to write an article about it. These makeup tweaks have transformed my look Many of us have a certain makeup look we …
Beauty treatments are soaring in popularity, but the truth is they are very expensive. We now see celebrities getting tweakments and face lifts that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (yes Kris Jenner, I’m talking to you) and it feels like us mortals don’t stand a chance. However, I’ve always held the belief that looking after one’s health and exercising, …
When it comes to skincare products, it’s hard to beat a serum, in my opinion. Serums are absorbed better than moisturisers This is because of their smaller molecule size and means they penetrate deeper, making them more effective. In the video below, I look at some of the incredible serums from DoSe. They have a dazzling selection of serums and …
Other people have always been much more interested in my age than I am – I was even labelled a ‘vintage vixen’ at 40 – so, as I turn 70, I expect it will be brought up constantly in the press. Despite thinking of age as a phase, rather than a number, I’m reflecting on what this birthday means to …
As we age, we need to change some of our makeup habits. It’s amazing how many think that the makeup that worked on their 20 year old complexion, is still going to do the trick. It won’t, I can guarantee you that. Making some strategic changes, will make sure that our makeup doesn’t begin to drag us down, doing the …
When it comes to beauty and looking after our skin as it ages, many people concentrate on beauty products to apply topically. However, it makes a huge difference if you also apply some help from within. In the article below, Shabir Daya (pharmacist at Victoria Health) explains how the skin functions and why certain supplements can really benefit your skin …
Nothing will age your skin more than an uneven skin tone. Unfortunately, this is something that’s inevitable as we age. The main cause of this is pigmentation Most of us will have spent time in the sun and from mid life and beyond is when we pay the price. Dark spots and mottled patches of brown begin to appear. It’s a …
