I love fake tan and I’m an Essex girl. There, I said it. I love the way fake tan smoothes out skin tones, gives you a glow and for me, disguises stretch-marks and makes things seem less wobbly. Being a ginger and growing up with my mother (also a ginge) lathering on thick white factor […]

It’s that time of year where we’re all SERIOUSLY BROKE (it’s not just me, surely) and payday seems to be taking two steps foward, followed by TWO FUCKING MASSIVE STEPS BACK (we come together cos opposites attract, etc). You want to spruce up your look for ‘spring’. I say this with inverted commas because as […]
Wind, rain and giving yourself five minutes to get out the door can sometimes result in a few 9-5 style fails. For anyone who’s ever winced at their reflection by the time they get to the office, take this moment to arm yourself with Le Blow’s pearls of wisdom about the easiest hair micro-trends that […]
If you’re going to pay someone to rip the bejesus out of your nether regions, you might as well make the experience as rock and roll as possible. And whilst a bikini wax is always going to hurt like an absolute mo fo, a visit to STRIP Wax bar and Boutique goes a long way […]

Tis the season to be hair free, after all. Are you a bikini wax virgin or don’t know your Brazilian from your Hollywood; your hot wax from your […]
It’s the Diamond Jubilee next weekend – oh, hooray! Hurrah! Yes, I hear you all – cheering and ‘whooping’ (pronounced wu-hooping) from the London rooftops, waving your little Union Flags and eating your cucumber sandwiches. Let’s all pretend that will be the case, shall we? Put a nice hue on things. The fact that we’ll […]

It’s been a crap week for losing cool, creative people: first Beastie Boys rapper and film maker MCA, then author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, and now the legendary hairstylist, Vidal Sassoon, who sadly died yesterday at the age of 84. Just as his collaborator Mary Quant revolutionised dressing in the ’60s, Vidal Sassoon revolutionised hairdressing. […]
Well I tried to tell you so (yes, I did). But I guess you didn’t know. As I said the story goes. Baby, now I got the flow. Sorry! Whenever I write about MAC makeup, I (somewhat predictably) ALWAYS get Mark Morrison’s Return of the Mack stuck in my head. Anyway, this is just a […]
