By Hollie Kiernan False lashes can be difficult. Trying to do anything with one eye closed (with the added danger of lash glue) is a challenge for anybody.

  So dear readers, I’m shooting away from home for 10 days in Manchester and staying in fancy hotel. The air is so dry in this hotel that my skin appears to have aged 5 years in 5 days. It’s hideous. You can’t open any windows in the room, and the steady thrum of air-conditioning [...]

My life doesn’t really allow for regular (or even semi-regular) trips to the beauty salon. I admit I envy those of you out there that have perfectly manicured talons and toenails. I don’t even bother to polish my nails anymore because I’m forever removing chipped varnish from the hands of models, so it doesn’t last [...]

Many of you will have heard the hype surrounding the new skin-perfecting product Nanoblur, in fact apparently Boots sells one every 2 seconds.
