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…
Go and watch us cook a quick and easy roast over on the Mum’s Eye View Channel. Click here – Continue reading
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.

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.
