Making two prolific discoveries in the same night is a rarity for me, Primpers. Add to that, the fact that I was in a hotel room, in my PJs, slippers and a heavenly soft night gown and you don’t really have the makings of big breakthroughs. But, chances aside, I did make some breakthroughs, Primpers, discovering the hair tool any chick with short hair needs right now AND the best damn lip gloss I’ve come across for quite some time (and it’s only $11.95). I’m a little bit excited.... more

And I say, I think, because at first glance I did absolutely love this sun-kissed balayage. It’s very much like mine. However, on closer inspection, I realised that it’s actually massively lopsided, with one side of her hair much lighter than the other. In case you’re still adjusting, it’s our left-hand-side. Can you see it? It’s odd, but strangely likable. Let’s assess this situation, Primpers…... more

This time, posing up a storm at both the LA and New York premiere for Season 4 of the show. The fun news is that I have the OFFICIAL how to for Christina Hendricks’ flawless makeup. That means it’s come straight from the makeup artist, so you know, it’s real, as opposed to made up. By me. The not-so-fun news is that I am going to have to pretend I know exactly how to get January Jones’ makeup, because the official how to for that is MIA. Let’s take a look, shall we…... more

It’s come to my attention that we here at PRIMPED HQ sometimes enjoy sitting in our safety harness and commenting on the hair of all those around us, rather than ourselves. We tell you the cut, colour and style of the season, as well as judge celebs when they take the snip. It’s our job and it’s very, very fun Primpers, but I thought it was time to practice what we preach. So, here it is, my BRAND NEW HAIRCUT. ... more

Skipping across my desk every week are all the latest beauty products to hit the shelves. It’s my job to tell you about them, Primpers. So today, in this very post, let me reveal my Top 5 products of the week. Enjoy!... more

In the world of celebrity fragrance, there’s only one thing more exciting than getting asked to make said scent. And that’s seeing it, in all its glory, sitting pretty on the shelves of one of the biggest department stores in the world, Harrods. Jennifer Aniston was the latest celeb to feel the excitement, launching her new fragrance, By Jennifer Aniston, and looking as proud as punch as she does so. ... more

For all the big cosmetic houses out there, there’s one key employee who has the power to make said brand cool, aspirational and something we all want to get our hands on - the Creative Director. It’s a big task to tackle when you think about it; putting the creative vision for that brand into a palette, lip gloss and nail polish, but for Tom Pecheux, the newly crowned Creative Makeup Director for Estée Lauder, it’s a job he’s smashed beyond belief. ... more

If you’re new to PRIMPED or not really all that into twitter, you may have missed our fun and rather fruitful competition called PRIMPED Pack(Man).

Say hi to your fellow PRIMPED Pack mates, Primpers, and congratulate the 40 peeps below with a big, fat congratulations.... more

I was once told that you should never announce a bargain buy. It was something that was to remain a secret. Like smelly feet. Or hairy pits. But for me, I’m proud when I pick up a cheap and cheerful. It’s almost like I scored this unreal deal and want to tell the world about it. Sure, I also love announcing extremely expensive things, too, but the satisfaction I get from getting comments on products that didn’t cost me a months wage is satisfying beyond belief. That’s why, Primpers, I’ve compiled my list of Cheap and Cheerful beauty buys that will see you hooting with joy and spreading the good news. Here goes… ... more
