Proof that my family do not read my blog.

One for regular readers:

Ava has been getting stress eczema around her eye and possible perioral dermatitis around her nose. I was baffled. I had parental AND supposed-skincare-knowing guilt. WHY couldn't I fix my own child's skin?

Well, Miss Hirons informed me last night that she uses a very famous foaming cleanser with a very famous cleansing brush when she's at her friend's houses because: 'it's fun'.

COME ON.

Really????

'But my mates all use it!'

'Their Mums gave it to them!'

Now when she goes to her friends houses I'll be all...

It's OK. I went in with this last night, again this morning, then packed her off to school.

Next she'll be telling me that she supports Man United and that she's always thought Duran Duran were crap.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOO.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine - Rouge in Danger

What I lack in eye make-up appreciation, I more than make up for in lip gloss and red lipsticks.

So when I was asked recently if I would like to try the new YSL Rouge Volupte Shine lipsticks I said 'ooh yes please LOVELY could I please have that amazing red in the centre-left of the picture?!!'

Cut to a few days later and I get home from work to find a lovely little parcel with Rouge in Danger waiting for me. Open it, say 'WOW look at that packaging!' - pop the cap...and its been used.....'EEWWWW'.

At that very moment my darling daughter walks past and says 'Ooh that lipstick is lovely Mummy I played with it when I got in too.'

Moral of the story?

Never leave anything in the vicinity of your equally-beauty-obsessed child if you want to photograph it before you blog it.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine is £24.00 and available nationwide from 20th of Feb. It's available at Selfridges until then if you can't wait.

I trust yours will be pristine, shiny and glorious. Just keep it away from Ava.
