Mother’s Day Special 2013: Cool or Classic, Five Ways to Make Mum’s Day
Thu, 9 May 2013 9:15AM
There are many different types of mothers. Young ones and old ones, ones that like sport and ones that prefer shopping. Gregarious ones and shy ones, ones that love travel and others that put baking, book club or bowls atop their favourites list. However, for the purposes of Choosing The Perfect Mothers’ Day Gift, I… more

How to: Pack a Travel Beauty Bag
Mon, 6 May 2013 5:20PM
As a gloss of beauty addicts (yes, I’m taking poetic license with the collective noun there), I know you’ll all understand the perils of packing, Primpers. While others may be content with a toothbrush and a stick of deodorant when they’re on the move, we need to find savvy ways to jam our extensive arsenal… more

How to: Create a Heavenly-Scented Home
Wed, 24 April 2013 10:36AM
We’ve talked about fragrance here before, Primpers, and discussed how a certain scent can bring back memories – good and bad – in just one spritz. Mostly, we associate this olfactory superpower with our favourite perfumes. You know the ones – you spray ‘em and suddenly you’re transported back to a particular time or place. It’s… more

Monday-to-Friday Beauty Style (Yes, You Can)
Wed, 10 April 2013 5:01PM
While we all love a smoky eye for fail-safe sexy, there are times that a sooty stare just isn’t appropriate. Case in point? The office. Just as you wouldn’t wear a super short cocktail frock at your desk, there are makeup looks that are similarly best reserved for the bar, rather than the boardroom. I’ve been… more

Dealing With the D Word: Dandruff
Thu, 4 April 2013 9:17AM
As the seasons change, so does your skin. And as we’ve discussed here before, Primpers, a complexion that was soft and supple all summer, not to mention legs and arms that were smooth and scale-free, can become dry and flaky as fast as you can say, “Here comes Autumn”. But what happens when this annoying, dry… more

How to: Get a Cocoa Beauty Hit
Thu, 28 March 2013 8:56AM
It’s nearly the Easter long weekend, Primpers. Four glorious days to relax, spend time with family and perhaps treat yourself to a chocolate egg. Or 17. No matter how you choose to spend the days, chances are chocolate will, at some point, feature. Let’s face it: we need to make the most of the deliciousness… more

Is the Scrunchie Coming Back? Say it Ain’t So!
Thu, 21 March 2013 9:28AM
Alert, Primpers. Alert! For a while now, we at Primped HQ have been quietly monitoring the early stirrings of a potentially disturbing revival. We haven’t spoken of it before, as we didn’t want to cause you undue concern. But we can remain silent no longer, as this once-banished beauty look has sprung back into the sartorial… more

How to: Take Care of Your Makeup Brushes
Tue, 19 March 2013 8:53AM
It’s time we had a serious talk about cleanliness, Primpers. I know: housekeeping of any kind is oh-so boring but nevertheless essential. Except, in my opinion, ironing, which I simply refuse to undertake (it’s amazing what running a ghd quickly over a creased collar can do – although you didn’t hear it from me). But… more

How to: Soothe Trans-seasonal Skin
Tue, 12 March 2013 2:42PM
Help! I’ve just moved to London and my skin has completely flipped out. It’s incredibly dry to the point where the delicate skin around my eyes is raw and quite painful. I’ve tried different moisturisers, even rose hip oil. Any advice? Well, you and me both, Sam, you and me both. Here I was suffering away… more

My Geordie Shore Makeover
Thu, 28 February 2013 10:47AM
Geordie Shore seems to be taking over the world, Primpers. With a new series out on Australian TV this week, and two of the cast members already making their way Down Under to prepare for upcoming filming on our, er, shores, I decided to make a trip to the show’s motherland – Newcastle, UK –… more
