A few days ago I opened a small package from Burberry Beauty with some excitement. I’ve been dying to experience the iconic fashion brand’s foray into beauty for some time now and Burberr...

The lovely folk at Purity Organic Skincare have provided me with a whole set of their wonderful certified organic products to giveaway to one lucky blog reader. “Purity Organic Skincare is effi...
Let’s talk about Strivectin. When it first launched in the UK I was sent a sample to review. I have to admit that there was something about the product that didn’t appeal to me. It may ha...

Regular readers of my blog will know that I don’t get hugely excited about nail polish on the whole, perhaps because I rarely wear it myself. It’s hard to keep one’s nails immaculat...
By Hollie Kiernan I know very few women or girls who are not perpetually accompanied by a well-used tin of Vaseline, or a collection of battered lipsticks. Whether or not their lips are particularly ...
Fashion films are an increasingly popular way for designers to showcase their new collections. Paradise Lost is a recent film I collaborated on with a brilliant young designer called Olwen Bourke who...
A friend of mine does the cooking on a yoga retreat in Ibiza, and was recently extolling the virtues of Coconut Oil for a healthy diet, and more interestingly, for weight loss. Now I’m no scien...
By Hollie Kiernan I have been a bit lax with my skincare (and blog posts) of late. I have to admit I’ve reached for the baby wipes more than once over the past month, and sometimes I even comm...
More apologies dear readers, posts are very thin on the ground right now. I am shooting swimwear in Islamorada until April, and the schedule is jam-packed. Here’s a few photos to keep you going...
And frankly I’m not at all surprised. Here is a link to a recent article about Groupon and it’s less than transparent practices. The Advertising Standards Authority are closely monitoring...
I was recently invited to try the the newest anti-ageing nano-current facial on the block, the A Lift at Karen Betts Clinic in Harley Street. “Research has found that by externally applying cur...

So I’ve come to Cyprus for a bit of winter sun, Pilates, power plate and healthy eating, leaving a balmy, unseasonably warm Britain behind. Needless to say it is freezing here. The taxi driver ...
Hello dear readers Huge apologies for the inconsistent posting recently, my trusty MacBook took a nose dive a few weeks ago and is being repaired. Additionally I’m off on a well-needed holiday ...
Corfu is the Northernmost of the Ionian islands and a much-maligned travel destination. With some areas blighted by over-development and a reputation for package holidays and cheap drinks for some ye...
It’s always nerve-wracking trying a new hairstylist. Women often get more attached to their hairstylists than their pets or boyfriends. I know one divorcee who suffered a minor meltdown when he...
Women across the nation are saying “NO MORE LEAD!” to companies like L’Oreal and others who are still selling lead-loaded lipstick. See these images depicting their messages, and consider posting one...
