LLG Beauty: What’s inside my Bathroom Cabinet

July 16, 2011 Hero beauty products

I don’t know about you, but I am extraordinarily nosy & love peeking inside other people’s bathroom cabinets to see what they are using. So I thought I’d turn the tables on myself. Obviously I have way more potions & lotions that the average bod, as I am sent a lot to test and maybe […]

Guest blog: My make-up bag by Karen Wheeler

June 14, 2011 Guest blogs

I often compare my makeup bag to a John Pawson interior: there isn’t much in it. Despite writing about beauty I operate a strict rule of seven products maximum  — and also in common with a Pawson interior, they are mostly aimed at concealing. The staples include Benefit’s Girl Meets Pearl, a pearly liquid that […]

So I am lucky enough to have good legs. (it’s the rest I’m hiding away), but however genetically blessed one may be, nature can always do with a helping hand. In the photo above, the smooth tone is partly thanks to This Works Perfect Legs Skin Miracle.

Guest blog by Briony Whitehouse (B & I have diametrically opposed hair. I have naturally stick straight hair and covet her volume & body. She would probably demur. When John Frieda’s new 3 Day Straight fell into my hands at a recent beauty launch, I snorted and passed it to B for testing. Over to […]

December 15, 2010 Guest blogs

Image via Taylor Taylor. A Guest Blog by Briony Whitehouse Sasha and I are all about subjecting ourselves to weird and wonderful beauty treatments in the name of research, so recently I took myself off to London’s Taylor Taylor to investigate their version of the Brazilian Blowdry/Blowout/Keratin Treatment (whatever you want to call it).

LLG tests it out: St Tropez fake tan products

August 2, 2010 Hero beauty products

My working-from-home summer wardrobe is simple: I wear shorts whenever I can. Short shorts, and that means my pins need to be in as good a condition as I can muster with minimal effort. I shave every day in the shower, (takes seconds), slap on St Tropez’s Gradual Tan Everyday Body Moisturiser, which doesn’t smell […]

As I ran around last Tuesday morning like a blue arsed fly trying to simultaneously store, pack, clean & tidy, I grabbed a shoebox, indiscriminately throwing in some of the beauty samples I hadn’t got round to using whilst in England, & shoved it in a corner of my suitcase. Back in New York, whilst […]

When the publicist for Frederic Fekkai passed me his Femme Sensuelle shampoo, conditioner, hair spray and eau de parfum recently, telling me they were scented with Fekkai’s proprietary house blend, I snorted inwardly. Both at the name & the concept. (The eau de parfum is called The Spirit of a Woman Revealed. Yes really.) Traditionally […]

Hero Beauty product: Philip Kingsley Moisture Balancing Conditioner

January 27, 2010 Hero beauty products

My mother is going to throttle me when she finds out that each time I’ve washed my hair in her bathroom I’ve been using her Philip Kingsley Moisture Balancing Conditioner. It was the first bottle I pulled out from the cupboard: how was I to know it was her special occasion conditioner? Thing is I […]
