No I have NOT left YouTube. I just happen to have a full-time job in the retail industry and it's the fourth quarter aka Hell on Earth. :)
There will be more videos, more vlogs, just cut me some slack please thank you kindly alrighty then Bob's Your Uncle Please Hold Caller.
Massive thanks to the brilliant team at Pixi:
Amanda, whose professionalism, dedication to her work and knowledge of her craft continue to inspire me every single day.
Ffiona, THE loveliest person who makes everyone feel so at ease and can execute a detailed plan with her eyes closed and no wifi connection.
Emera, Syd, Jen, Amy and Catherine who take care of M&S stores so brilliantly and Holly and Johannes who held the fort and took many an anguished travel phone call back at the ranch. #teamawesome
More thanks to M&S for making us feel so welcome in your stores. Impossible to single anyone out - your Head Office and Store teams are brilliant.
And finally, even bigger thanks to all of you that took time out of your days to come and see us. It was our absolute pleasure.
The Roadshow will return in 2017.

Popped to Mum's this week, picked up some bits in Trafford (as you do), met Cate Blanchett (although that is off camera - you get to see how gorgeous she is IRL though :), went to Soap & Glory's 10th Anniversary dinner, and IMATS yesterday. If you're going to IMATS make sure you pick up some Viseart palettes and brushes galore....
I was recently invited to Amsterdam by Viktor&Rolf for the launch of their new fragrance, Bonbon Couture.
The launch was held in the Viktor & Rolf House which did not disappoint. Bon Bon Couture is an addition to the original fragrance line and is older, more sophisticated and less intense than the original.
The trip is the main focus of Vlog 27. More info on the fragrance when it launches next month.
Thank you for having me Viktor&Rolf - and Amsterdam I'll be back. Soon. :)
Hi Everyone! A little country music festival to get your week going. :)
I'm taking the Easter break off with the kids - Max has three weeks off this year - I'll still be blogging - just not vlogging. See you back here around 11th April?
Hi Everyone! Thank you for your patience last week on here. I wasn't around much as my 'other' job was demanding. Great, but demanding.
Normal week this week. Whatever that means these days. ;)
Dan and Phil!
Thank you Carly for being a top wingman (woman). Thank you Pixi for saying 'YES!' when I said 'Ooh fancy doing the BRITs and letting me pummel some faces?'.
Carly and Future
Cheesy grin or what? Calm down Hirons. James Bay's Band.
And thank you to the entire team at the BRITs, from production to events to dressing room peeps to catering. What a lovely bunch.
Jourdann Dunn in all her gorgeousness. And she's lovely too. How rude.
Ruth, Jo and some maniac.
Carly and Gerry Leonard
Aaron Draper - Adele's percussionist - also lovely.
Thank you Jo and Zoe, who kept us inline backstage. For the most part. ;)
See you next week!
*Every artist shown gave their express permission to be photographed, in most cases by the official photographer Piers Macdonald. Even Future, who appears to be asleep. And no, I did not give Drake a facial. Or Bieber. Calm down. (That was for my daughter. And my nieces. :) )
Hi Everyone. Prepare yourself for some hideousness this week. There's bare-faced-spots galore, rambling, and coleslaw on toast. Why? Because it's delicious that's why.
One day, I'll get it together and remember to take really good thumbnail pictures and make it all look really lovely. That day is not today.
In the meantime, here's a picture of the best press gift I received last week:
Part 2 includes a little shopping, some rushed packing and Gen Beauty - including the mini facial I did for Ipsy's Periscope while I was there.
Hope you enjoy! :)

I fended off the jetlag for long enough to upload Part 1 of this week's vlog. Apologies for the lack of blogging last week, as you'll see I was pretty much asleep when I wasn't working. I'll be catching up with all your comments on both the blog and YouTube this week so thanks for bearing with. :)

Another short and sweet one - I told you I was taking it easier in January! I'm off to L.A. tomorrow - suffice to say there will no Dettol in next week's vlog.
What a week. Unless this is the first time you've read the blog this week you may not know that things were slightly overshadowed by a certain box. That's all we'll say of it now.
I started the week by going to Soho Farmhouse with the lovely Elizabeth Arden team and finished it by going to the Women in Film and TV Awards with MAC, where I saw not only the LEDGES that are Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, but also discovered that Kenneth Branagh is hot. Yes. Yes he is.
Have a wonderful week and if you fancy a read I'm in YOU magazine tomorrow morning, my first - and quite possibly last - mainstream media interview. Still cacking it. Much more comfy here on my home planet.
This week is the filming of the Cult Beauty Box reveal video, Ava's singing in the shower, me judging the J&J Skincare Awards and the opening of Charlotte Tilbury's beautiful new store in Covent Garden, where I ask her point-blank abut sleeping in her makeup!
Next week I have a couple of days away with Elizabeth Arden, a Christmas Fair at Downton Abbey aka Highclere Castle and an award ceremony. It's December. It's all go.
Hi Everyone. If you're not on Instagram you may not know that I was in Iceland this week - it was spectacular. Thank you BioEffect for hosting us. And introducing me to Bea's hat, the star of the show.
Well it looks like I didn't leave the house all week. Next week I'm off to Iceland amongst other things so there will hopefully be fewer breakdowns, less ranting and no lost passport *packs passport now*.
How is it 8 weeks since I started doing this?? Thanks for watching - this week is half term but I have a stack of empties and favourites to film so am going to try and film regardless of the noise/kids/distraction.
