Three favourite autumn makeup products.

Three hand creams for any situation

While the rest of me gets covered with tights and jumpers, hands and face remain uncovered. Moisturising my face is second nature, but I easily forget that my hands need the same amount of love.

OTFOI is one year old today!

Break out the champagne because OTFOI turns 1 today! What a proud blog-mummy I am. When I started OTFOI I was accutely aware it may not last more than a couple of weeks - so congratulations to myself for blogging for a whole year. Thanks to all the bloggers and Instagrammers out there who keep me inspired! And, last but certainly not least, thank you to all my readers.

Here's to the next year!

Makeup and skincare for short trips

I thought 'makeup and skin for travel' might be a misleading title - this is more about what I bring when I pop home to Surrey for the weekend or for a week's holiday. I don't have to contend with dehydrated aeroplane skin and hot, humid conditions, thank goodness.

A couple of lovely bits...

My Week in Brittany

I've had an absolutely lovely week in Brittany with my mum and dad. We've roamed the Finistère region, admired its beautiful coastlines, and wandered its cobbled streets.

Friday Favourites

I was in Brittany last week with mum and dad (a full round-up of that to follow, once I get to editing my photos!) Here are a few makeup-y bits I enjoyed using while I was away.

An old favourite eyeliner

I've tried a fair few liquid liners, but I always go budget - I'm loathe to spend more than £10 on them because 1) I don't wear them every day and 2) like mascara, they cover such  a small area of my face. Pretty much the only thing I'll spend a good chunk of cash on is foundation - I wear it most days, over my whole face, and I've found the shades and formulas of the cheaper versions can't compare to the likes of Nars and Bobbi Brown. Oh, and I like fancy lipstick. MAC, Chanel, Nars... but the less said about that the better, or I'll be itching for another. 

But I digress.

Rimmel Glam'Eyes Professional Liquid Liner (£5.29)

A brush and a brush cleanser, both cruelty-free.
