I’m so terribly sorry; I have been too busy cooing over my niece, Baby Edith, to even consider doing any work. She’s a total distraction. Just started crawling, and Granny has been teaching her how to clap! Normal service will be resumed tomorrow, after I have finished pulling silly faces and doing animal impressions. Mooooooo…
Ooh, actually.. having previously been not terribly interested in the Lancome Jason Wu Collection because it’s US only, I’m doing an about turn because the palettes look gorgeous. Above is Midnight Rose.
Above is Alpha Dahlia – love the smoky black liner at the bottom of the palette to blend with other shades.
And, finally, Disco.
If you are Stateside, the palettes are all $50 each, and I think the most exciting part of the range which also comprises lipstick, polish and blush.

I know that Pur Minerals has a cushion foundation on its way – more on that later – but for now, I’m so impressed with the new Pur Minerals Liquid Veil 4-in-1 Spray Foundation. Spray foundations aren’t the easiest of things to use for obvious reasons – and yes, the spray is not as controllable as you’d like (keep your white dress away from this) – but in this rare instance, it’s worth the effort. The way that you use it is to spray directly onto the brush (annoyingly, you have to buy the brush separately so you might want to use a brush you already have) then apply to the face. You can tell from the get-go that the foundation formula is skin-loving. It feels feather light, leaves a gorgeous dewy glow and gives very good coverage. You buff it into the skin (much like the bareMinerals foundation) and you … well, just glow! I love a dewy look foundation – Pur suggest adding powder afterwards but if you do you will lose that dewy glow – so I think I’d recommend this for dryer skin types and not anyone needing to tamp down the dew with powders.

I felt moved to make an extra gift guide after seeing some of the complete tat that’s out there for under ten pounds – it’s actually quite difficult to get something decent, these days. I spent hours and hours trawling the internet and I hope I’ve found some real crackers for you, including a brilliant £20 cookbook for a fiver and some incredibly posh truffles that you can snap up at your local supermarket. There’s also a bit of a DIY idea (a huge jar of Himalayan bath salts for under ten pounds, anyone?) a very cool egg cup and a makeup bag that feels far more expensive than it actually is. You’ll have seen some of the ideas already (a few from previous vids were too good not to re-mention) but there’s plenty that’s new. Enjoy the video, and if you want to skip the chat and head straight down to business, the products are listed below the screen.

1) I’m featured in Red Magazine Online this week talking about top beauty tips. You can take a little look here – just a small mention, but I’m always happy to pop up in magazines and I hardly ever remember to tell anyone about it! So yes, Red Magazine, beauty tip, here.
2) Short and sweet post, today, because I have a terrible sore throat and cold and I KNOW I picked it up from travelling on the tube when a gross man sneezed all over the place without covering his mouth and nose. Ugh! I hid in my scarf and held my breath but to no avail, I could almost see the germs whizzing towards me! I might start travelling by airtight bubble. Anyway, pets: we’ve been doing a spot of dressing-up with Dexter this week (above) because someone very kindly sent me a “Where’s Wally” dog costume (it had Where’s Waldo printed on the packet, so I thought that Waldo might have been Wally’s dog’s name. But no. Waldo is the US version of Wally, apparently. Thank you to Onya for coming to my rescue on Instagram!). And so here’s Dexter in his hat and glasses, above, and Mr Bear asleep, below. Nothing new there…
