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....

What's better than one wedding? How about two? Posie and Harry took getting married to the next level with their epic two day celebration of their love.

After the trials and tribulations of trying to create and launch a product in a global pandemic, the wonderful creators over at West Barn Co are finally able to share with us what they've been working on and boy is it good! Before now West Barn Co already had my heart with their Soap Brows, I am a true believer in the best brow is a fluffy brow and there's no better way to achieve it than when I am armed with my West Barn Co Brush, Prep Mist and Soap Brows.

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...

A couple of weeks back I was lucky enough to receive a lovely package from the Peep Club that has really changed the game for me in terms of eye care. They weren't a brand or product I was particularly familiar with before trying them out, so I wanted to make sure I spread the message far and wide so everyone knows about these little life savers. After all our eye area is one of the most delicate parts of our face, and if we want to keep them looking good with or without make-up we need to keep them hydrated! In my package were three exciting new goodies to try. As they say themselves at Peep...

Over the last few months I have been putting it through its paces and comparing it with other brow products I have used over the years. More recently this has become of pretty important interest to me as my poor...

I'm back again to talk about my all time faves! Usually when it comes to West Barn Co it's brows I'm raving on about and don't get me wrong I could easily do that for another blog, but today I'm here to focus on the exciting new launch of the Prep Mists. In a world where we're all striving towards a more sustainable future, even in our make-up bags, these brand new Mists in refillable glass bottles are a welcome change. Not to mention the glass bottles themselves give such a luxurious high end feel, that experience is only enhanced when you get to misting. The scents are heavenly and the effects...

This time of year I am normally in the likes of Milan or Paris for fashion week, living my best life rushing between shows creating high end editorial looks for catwalk models. Instead thanks to Covid I am at home celebrating the latest news that we finally have a roadmap to get out of lockdown, which means wedding season is ON! I know it's still all hopeful target dates from Boris, but I will keep all of my fingers and toes crossed that the R rate stays down, vaccine rates stay up and we finally do have an end in sight to what has been truly the most challenging time for us all.
