You probably know that I'm a bit of a magpie when it comes to choosing beauty products and the first thing I'm attracted to is how they look - I like chic and luxurious packaging that'll look great on the shelf or in my make-up bag.

Review – Dermalogica Sheer Tint
I've not really been a fan of tinted moisturisers in the past, preferring to use my favourite serum, moisturiser, primer and foundation combination to give me a fair bit of coverage.

Olay Memories and New Reviews
When I was establishing my beauty routine as a teenager my cleanser was Ann French Cleansing Milk (which I didn't realise is still available) and my moisturiser was Oil of Ulay, the pink one in the square bottle.
