Who doesn’t love the transforming effects of a bold lip. Creating maximum impact with minimal effort, a bold lip can take you’re look from ‘crazy mum’ to ‘effortlessly stylish’ with a swish of a stick. 

Whether you’re jetting off to some far flung land or heading somewhere a little closer to home, flying can leave your skin feeling dry and lifeless. 

As a beauty obsessive who loves to keep stubble free at all times (or at least tries to), I have long been a fan of epilating. It’s quick, effective, produces results that last for weeks and although admittedly can be rather painful at times, a lot more convenient than having to visit a salon every few weeks.

Tucked away behind a discreet black door, in the heart of London’s Fitzrovia lays Pfeffer Sal, a cutting-edge new clinic steadily making a name for itself, partly in thanks to it’s exclusive Copper Ultra Revive facial. 

An essential part of your daily skin regime, the right cleanser not only leaves your skin perfectly clean and clear but will improve skin texture while helping to fend against wrinkles.

Where?
High on the 3rd floor of the historic department store Liberty London, with views over famed Carnaby Street lays Taylor Taylors latest venture.

With this weekend set to reach highs of 25 degrees, its time to starting thinking about protecting ourselves and our little ones from those harmful UVA and UVB rays. .

One of the joys of working in the beauty industry is getting to test out a huge range of beauty products (I know, stating the obvious here). Yet if truth be told, most of the products out there don’t do a whole lot. Which is why I (and you may have noticed) keep going back to a few key brands that I know I can rely on to produce to the goods. There are occasions however, when I stumble across a new range of product that really deserves shouting about. 

Where? Hidden above Art8 Designers hair salon in the heart of beautiful leafy Richmond (a well known suburb of southwest London), lays the Cherry Woods Clinic. 

Blusher, the sleep deprived mum’s makeup saviour.

It’s commonly believed that hair loss is an exclusively male issue but with over 6 million British woman suffering from some form of hair loss the truth is far from it.

Every year like clock work, as the winter comes to a close and the distant calling of warm weather comes ever closer, I get the urge to not only spring clean my home but spring clean my skin! 

In the heart of the city, situated between Bank and Liverpool St stations, lays Askinology, a brand new aesthetic concept dedicated to improving skin health.

At 17 weeks pregnant, oiling my bump has become a daily ritual of upmost importance.

Truth be told, I have never been and never will be one to leave the house with out a slick (or three) of mascara. I mean, I’m all for embracing natural beauty but when you’re as fair haired as I am, mascara isn’t an option, it’s an essential. 

As a time-deprived, pregnant mother of one who has suffered through too many sleepless nights to count, I have no time for half-hearted skincare.
