Eucerin has an extensive range for all skin concerns, and you probably noticed that I do tend to love them.
The latest I tried was some products of their Hyaluron-Filler range, with advanced skin solution products designed to hydrate and plump the skin.
Not only do the products have high and low molecular hyaluronic acid, but it also has a bio-active ingredient that helps promote skin synthesis of the plumping, hydrating acid.
This complete regime has all the basics – day and night creams, a moisturiser and eye cream, as well as targeted care, the Hyaluron-Filler Concentrate.
They have just recently introduced the Hyaluron-Filler CC Cream, which has all the goodness of their moisturiser plus light concealing and correcting properties.
It contains hyaluronic acid and bio-active glycine saponin and it has SPF 15. And it is anther example of skincare and makeup hybrid I love so much.
For me, although I can clearly see the correcting properties at work, the coverage is too sheer to use alone.
However, it works fabulously as a primer; I did notice more even skin tone and better texture immediately on application. It is non-greasy and applies a treat. Even though I thought “light” was going to be too light for my skin, it blends very well.
Makeup applies very well on top of it and because of its advanced moisturising properties, it keeps skin plump and hydrated throughout the day.
The whole range is really fantastic: it delivers suppleness in a very gentle way, suitable for the most sensitive skins.
Having said that, I do have to mention the Hyaluron-Filler Eye Cream in particular. It is rich but not heavy and it feels amazing on the skin.
You can really feel it sinking deep down in the skin and bringing it up. And it has SPF 15, all that is missing in other eye creams. Love doesn’t even cover it.
Particularly useful in the morning for a fresh look.
The Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler CC Cream retails for £28 and is available in light and medium; the Eye Cream costs £22 and both are available from major retailers natiowide, inclusing Boots and Escentual, together with the rest of the range and other lines from Eucerin.
When I left my dark ages of makeup and stopped using my fingers to apply makeup and finally started using brushes, there weren’t many options in the market.
Fast forward a few years (ok, maybe more than a few) and there are so many fantastically affordable options that it’s really hard to pick.
The On a Powder Trip Brush (£11.99) has a good weight to it, bristles are soft to touch and on the skin and it has a good amount of bristles that are not too floppy. The soft rubber handle is non slip and it has a little reminder of what kind of brush it is. It picks up, applies and blends powder very well.
The L.A.B.2 Just Face It Kabuki Brush (£11.99) is also great; it is well packed with bristles in a firm-ish dome and has great weight.
The Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt Brush (£4.99) eye shadow applicator is one of this bigger ones, which is great. It covers the lid efficiently with one sweep. Soft bristles are packed tightly for some firmness and feels very comfortable on the sensitive lid skin.
The Just Blending In Brush (£4.99), an eye shadow blender, is probably my least favourite, but that doesn’t mean it does I do not like and it does not serve a purpose.
Seriously: the Patisserie de Bain products smell so delicious you feel like eating them!
Costing £10, it’s yours free when you buy any two skincare products at Superdrug (subject to availability).
If you don’t know 
Be honest: would you say, by looking at the gorgeous nspa skincare products, that they carry a tiny price tag? I don’t think so.
As I love a serum, I’m going to start with that. The 
It helps support the delicate round the eye skin, plumping and nourishing, working against crows feet and fine lines.
Tanning. I love looking bronzed; it makes me feel better. In fact, we all know that looking tanned masks the imperfections, so our bodies look better.
Bronzie Got Your Back is a 3 in 1 back and body mitt that not only solves the back tanning problem but also makes tan application much faster.
You can apply your favourite tanning product whenever is needed, anywhere on the mitt. The middle part is perfect for reaching across the whole back and back of the legs, like a huge tanned hug.
My first Chanel lipstick. Yes, you heard it right.
This is an orange red, which personally is the best red for me (although true and blue also suit my complexion) and it has a beautiful matte finish.
Also, I find this quite special as it was purchased at the brand new Fabled by Marie Claire shop in Tottenham Court Road, London, where you can find the best names in beauty – skincare, makeup, nails, fragrance, hair – it’s all there!
I have to say that Marie Claire nailed it with Fabled. Bringing all those brands together, making beauty shopping easy.
Imagine a gorgeous place where your favourite beauty brands come together. That would be enough, right?
Then, top it off with a real shop full of friendly and approachable professionals in the counters.

Now, I’ve had my eyes on Skin & Tonic London for a while and was thrilled to try their new product: the Naked Beauty Oil.
It is perfect for the colder season just coming in and at £25 for 30ml, it is a real bargain.
Stop press. I have succumbed to something liquid on my lips.
I was at The Apartment over LFW and Collection had a fab area. Amongst other goodies to pick up, were they yet to be launched (and now on the shelves) Velvet Kiss lipsticks.
Recently I became obsessed with these wide legged trousers. When I say recently, add around 6 months.
This particular pair is a fantastic cut for my body shape: high waisted, flowy and skimming the bum. It doesn’t pinch too much at the waist, just the right amount. Just flattering and perfect.
Here, I paired them up with a netted (super) crop tee from Topshop, which add a bit of informality to the attire.
These silver block heels are amazing. Also very versatile, a manageable heel height for every day and super comfortable leather from Kurt Geiger.
Statement sunglasses were in order for this hot day in London – and Le Specs does it effortlessly, for a pocket friendly price.
I wore a basic day makeup (escaped from the office to do the shoot), red lips, plenty of rings and my Mulberry Lily bag.
She was also very speedy, making the lunch break shoot a fun and smooth reality!
