How To: Cleanse Like a Pro

Wed, 10 April 2013 1:54PM

There are some nights after watching one too many Mad Men episodes, having one too many glasses of Pinot Noir and perhaps one too many squares of dark chocolate, the old cleansing ritual can be a somewhat wham, bam, thank you ma’am kind of affair. A quickie make-up removal is as good as it gets (so… more

How to: Get an Inner (and Outer) Glow

Tue, 26 March 2013 9:52AM

Like whether JT can be classified an actor, singer or Mr Biel, some things are hard to define. And a ‘glow’ is bang in the undefinable basket. Does it mean you look perennially, painstakingly tanned? Or you are free of lines and wrinkles thanks to some faux intervention? Can a deft hand at foundation combined with… more

Mummy Beauty Blog: The Busy Woman’s Skin Makeover

Sun, 3 March 2013 8:45AM

I have a confession to make, Primpettes. It was me who ate the last raw brownie and not the cat like I’d previously stated. Hang on, that’s the wrong confession (Husband, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry). What I need to confess to you guys is that I’ve let my skincare routine fall into a bit… more

Coming Clean on Cleansing Balms

Thu, 13 December 2012 3:50PM

Can I please request a post on cleansing balms? I need PRIMPED to break it down for me. Thanks! Sometimes, just sometimes, you Primpettes are the teachers. You know that? We learn from you; what you like, what you use, what works and what we should be prattling on about more. In the case of cleansing… more

20 Oils You Need to Use (Not All at Once, Mind You)

Thu, 26 July 2012 1:12PM

I’ve got a real problem. I’m a bit of a sicko when it comes to oils. This winter I’ve reveled in donating my face and body to the science of oils, in the pursuit of uncovering the lushest, luxest and lust-worthy oil for you. Yes, you. So, in a show of appreciation, you would do me the honour… more

The Beauty Wedding Planner

Tue, 19 June 2012 3:33PM

With exactly 24 days to go, the countdown to my wedding is on! Although I’m the first to admit that I’ve been pretty laid back with the whole situation (we were engaged for something like seven months before I even started looking at venues) the good news is that I was on the front foot… more

Keeping Adult-Acne Under Control

Mon, 4 June 2012 6:59PM

Yesterday, I caught up with a group of girlfriends and as per usual we spent the majority of our time talking about all-things hair, makeup and clothing related. You see, I’m getting married in a few weeks and I was explaining to the girls how stressed out I’m getting about my skin. Yep, you read… more

My New Hope for Soap

Tue, 20 March 2012 1:13PM

There are a few things I don’t usually like on my face. These include egg, shopping lists (the back of the hand will suffice, thank you very much) and soap. Therefore, I am as surprised as anyone that I am dedicating this post to championing the latter. Until now, I’ve perceived soap as the poor cousin… more

Lily Donaldson’s skin secret (and one of mine, too)

Fri, 2 March 2012 4:30PM

For years now, every time I’ve gone to Paris the first thing on my to-do list has been (no, not Zara, nor Café de Flore for their gooey-good hot chocolate) a trip to the local chemist. Forget fancy beauty boutiques – la pharmacie is where you find some of this city’s best beauty buys. Not… more
