Back in March you might remember I held an event with Kiss the Moon where I was introducing my new businessUntitled No 1 and its first collection of bespoke vegan makeup brushes. Since then I've been hooked on a few products of their own that we decided to pull together a few key products that really spoke to me and create the "Loved By Jo" Bundle! That way you can conveniently pick up my favourites to add to your collection.   If you weren't already aware, Kiss the Moon was founded in 2019 by Jo Foster in the search of using cruelty free, 100% natural ingredients...

For those of you that know me well you will already know what a huge lover of Steamcream I am. It's one of my must have all time moisturisers that I've used in both my kit and my personal life for many years now. I have tried and tested it up against the many moisturisers that pop up every year promising us the earth, but Steamcream always prevails as my favourite time and time again. This is so much so that the original Streamcream that comes with a delicate lavender scent has almost become a trade mark with me, my regular models and clients know to expect to see it when I open up my kit for the day....

I first chatted to Danielle around the end of March 2020, back whilst we were all still in Lockdown 1, which feels soooo long ago now. If only we knew then what we do now! Anyone else remember thinking it might of all blown over in a couple months at the most? Over a year later, with a lot of patience and careful planning, Danielle and Benjamin were thrilled to finally tie the knot on the 1st of July 2021. With original plans of a romantic Italian destination wedding, Danielle quickly shifted gears as the pandemic took hold and wisely chose an equally desirable second option, the Fig House...

Now that I am in my 50's skincare is a whole new challenge. It's not something we all first think of when we say menopause to one and other, but once you're in it you soon realise its a very challenging aspect of it you never expected before. Between all the night sweats and aching bones I've been finding myself more and more sleep deprived and lethargic and that's just the tip of the iceberg of it! One of the symptoms that's been quite noticably for me as it's what my job's all about, is 'Menopause face' aka hormone faace, hot faace, sleep-deprived faace, why am I getting spots again faace. For me specifically...
