LLG Travels: Héritage Berbère Parfumerie Marrakech

January 30, 2012 LLG Beauty

As you come out of the walled entrance to Yves Saint Laurent’s Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech, where we spent a glorious afternoon wandering, the first thing that you see across the road are a series of design stores that wouldn’t look out of place in London, Paris or New York. On a dusty street in […]

LLG Travel Beauty: Hair & beauty essentials for travelling

January 25, 2012 LLG Beauty

Given that for some trips it makes no sense to pack hold baggage, I have to be inventive when I choose & pack my  beauty products. Current airport regulations  for what you can take in cabin baggage change from country to country, so there is no hard and fast way to make sure you please […]

LLG Hero Beauty Product: Frederic Fekkai Shampoo & Conditioner

January 19, 2012 LLG Beauty

For about a year now I’ve been testing out shampoos and conditioners across every price point and every philosophy. There have been products for colour treated hair, and ones that promised volume. Some that were branded as ‘natural’ and were anything but, and some that were almost totally organic. There were bottles that contained rare […]

LLG Beauty: Suntan lotions & creams reviewed

January 13, 2012 LLG Beauty

I am so rarely in the proper heat of the sun that it’s taken me a while to get round to reviewing any suntan creams or lotions. I do know that for my Northern Hemisphere readers, currently wrapped in scarves, Uniqlo HeatTech and thermal knickers,  the thought of suncream is a little far off right […]

LLG Travels: Les Bains de Marrakech Hammam

January 2, 2012 LLG Beauty

Today my skin is baby soft, and the typist knots in my shoulders have unravelled a little. That’s because we spent yesterday morning at Les Bains de Marrakech, one of the most recommended hammams in the city. As we discovered when we tried to book at a day’s notice, it is always fully booked, so […]

LLG Beauty: Revel Spa, San Francisco

December 30, 2011 LLG Beauty

I like tracking down interesting new places on my travels, so when I was looking for a mani/pedi last time I was in San Francisco, I ripped out a tiny mention of Revel Spa from a local free mag I found in my hotel room at the San Francisco InterCon, and grabbed a cab over […]

What’s in my Handbag?

December 15, 2011 Accessories

I love a good startup, & I equally love a good look into someone else’s handbag, so I was very happy to provide new site What’s in your Handbag with a photo of the beauty side of mine. The site launches officially next year (you’ll be able to buy things that you see in people’s […]

LLG Beauty: Best Blowdries & Updos in London in 2011

December 11, 2011 LLG Beauty

Spend any time working in New York and you start to look at your hair differently. That insouciant bedhead that looks right in London looks like you have been dragged through a hedge backwards in Manhattan. So over my four years in America, I developed a blow dry obsession that has crossed back over the […]

LLG Beauty: Flutter False Eyelashes & Extensions

December 10, 2011 LLG Beauty

Given that my natural eyelashes are super fine & blonde, stumpy and partially missing, it’s no surprise that since I was 17 I’ve been obsessed by fake eyelashes. Back then it was all about slightly spiky Eyelure & Ardell individual lashes applied in a beauty salon at a tenner a pop. During my twenties it […]

LLG Beauty: Top Five Body Moisturizers & Lotions for Winter Skin

November 27, 2011 LLG Beauty

Dunno about you lot, but the moment the central heating comes on, my skin starts to crack like a riverbed in a drought. Crocodiles have nothing on me, so I slather myself in body moisturiser the moment I get out of the shower, in a desperate attempt to keep the moisture in.
