The Daily Beauty: The new Percy & Reed salon in Spitalfields, London

May 24, 2013 LLG Beauty

Never let it be said that I am afraid of looking unglamorous on this blog. That being said, when one is sitting with foils on one’s head in one of the nicest hair salons in London,  I don’t care so much about the anti-glamour. Percy & Reed, whose  properly excellent hair products you may already […]

The Daily Beauty: Toni & Guy Glamour Serum Drops

May 20, 2013 LLG Beauty

My hair is somewhat of a disaster at the moment. It badly needs a cut and a colour perk-up, but I just haven’t had the time  - or rather when I have had, I’ve chosen to nap. Napping is my favourite activity, bar none. Maybe someone could  invent a hairdressing station that let you have […]

May 20, 2013 LLG Beauty

I don’t care that spring, let alone summer seems to have disappeared this year. I *will* have cheerful, bright toenails regardless. OPI Atomic Orange Nail Polish Sandals by Whistles (present)

mmmm just look at these rather lovely nail colours. They’re the new NARS x Pierre Hardy polish collection, four pairs (£22 each), inspired by Hardy’s Summer 2013 shoe collection. And the reason I got so up close and personal with them this morning?

The Daily Beauty: Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat by Butter London

May 14, 2013 LLG Beauty

I am bloody awful at doing my nails. I have shaky hands, no patience, and drip the polish everywhere. But I hate getting manicures even more, so from time to time I am forced to do the painting myself. Usually when I realise my hands are going to appear on film, and the pending embarrassment […]

The Daily Beauty: Travel Size Beauty Products

May 13, 2013 LLG Beauty

This is my honed to perfection travel kit. A £3 clear plastic make up bag from John Lewis, that can be scrubbed clean, I keep it packed and ready to go for trips, so there’s no faffing around with decanting and tracking down missing bits and pieces. It has everything I could possibly need, from […]

The Daily Beauty: Balance Me Rose Otto Hand Cream

May 12, 2013 LLG Beauty

I have had this absolutely delicious hand cream next to my bed for the past month or so, knocking all rivals off their throne. It’s quite simply the nicest hand cream I’ve used in an age. Its gorgeous scent gently perfumes the air, avoiding a cloying rose sweetness by the addition of rose geranium essential […]

The Daily Beauty: St Tropez Bronzing Mousse

April 25, 2013 LLG Beauty

Whilst I have not been backwards in complaining about our Narnia winter, but I must also admit that I had forgotten how much I love being wrapped up in winter camouflage. The levels of grooming required when shedding ones clothes (like a particularly grumpy snake) at the advent of summer are extremely annoying.

The Daily Beauty: Anna Lou Beautifully Uplifting Candle

April 23, 2013 LLG Beauty

When I am feeling a bit blah, my favourite scents are always citrus based: orange, lemon — even my tea is Early Grey, with its comforting bergamot aroma. So I like to burn the Beautifully Uplifting Candle from London accessories designer Anna Lou, with its grapefruit, bergamot and lime fragrance. All Anna Lou’s candles are […]

The Daily Beauty: SUQQU Eye Makeup Remover

April 22, 2013 LLG Beauty

SUQQU is one of those Japanese brands that make up artists and beauty obsessives talk about because it really is excellent. It’s also been historically  difficult to get hold of, due to limited distribution outside Japan. So thank goodness for Selfridges in the UK who sell it both in store and online.
