I think Louise Redknapp’s beauty range, Wild about Beauty, created with her pal/make-up artist Kim Jacob, could possibly be the beauty equivalent, in WAG terms, of Victoria Beckham’s fashion line. Even after the first collection was released last September I knew this was no celeb-endorsed token collection; the formulas were…
How often do you wash your hair?
So, I’ve been conducting a little hair experiment. Namely I haven’t been washing it. The reasons behind going a bit ‘hippie’ in the hair hygiene stakes are two-fold. 1/ I’ve got a new exciting, rather time consuming project that I’m working on, which means 6am starts with no time for…
Birchbox vs. Glossybox – the review
Long-time readers of countryfille.com (*waves*) will know I’ve been getting the Glossybox subscription for a while. It was my first foray into the beauty box subscription model, courtesy of my fairy mother-in-law (yes, I know, I struck gold). As a bonafide beauty junkie (and ex-Beauty editor who’s missing her daily…
My new-found nibble – the Graze box subscription
I have a rather unhealthy cure for writer’s block. Eating. It started at uni; if I came a cropper mid-way through an essay on Baudelaire (and let’s be honest, who hasn’t?) I’d amble up to the communal kitchen, make a piece of toast and munch my way out of the…
Whistles and COS Sales haul
I’m not 100% sure what’s come over me – in some sort of frenzied, out of body (and certainly out of my mind) fashion binge I’ve clocked up: 3 new dresses, a pair of boots, a scarf and a washed silk t-shirt this week alone. This from the woman who…

Honestly Healthy – eat with your body in mind, the alkaline way
The ‘Alkaline Diet’ has popped up on my radar a few too many times for me to ignore. The Brilliant Writer has been raving about it for a while now, every Jan glossy had a spin on it and according to her Twitter feed, Victoria Beckham can’t get enough of…

30-second review: Mary Greenwell Lemon EDP
I can safely say that this fragrance is The One. One of those scents that on first sniff you know will be in your perfume library FOREVER. Because yes, I have a perfume library, I’m fickle like that. My tastes change with the seasons and for differing occasions (always Diptyque…

Little Titans – tights for boys
Dear Mothers of Boys (MOB) – I have the answer to all your prayers. Tights, for boys. Is there a little tiny whirlwind in your life that flings socks, whizzing past your ear, from the backseat of your car? Do they turn up in your pocket in the middle of…
