As one of the Brand Ambassadors for West Barn Co I am so proud to see their latest launch that really hits the spot, literally! WBCo Hydro Dots are tiny, discreet and clear hydrocolloid patches which supply a solution of 1% salicylic acid directly to the source of your problem. Designed to protect the area for healthy healing whilst drawing out and absorbing any impurities and excess oil, these dots are perfect for anyone struggling to control their breakouts!   I know it's the advice none of us want to heed warning to, myself included... but we've really got to stop picking at our spots!...

Peep Club was launched in 2020 with the approach that we need to care for our eyes better. A modern take on eye care, their Instant Relief Eye Spray is especially considered due to all the technology and screens many of us spend our days gazing into now. It's no secret why this little bottle of goodness won awards from the Beauty Bible this year. Since trying it out last June it quickly became part of my daily routine, but it slipped out of habit for a bit. After picking it back up again it's almost a year later and now I'd class it as one of my must have products I carry in my own make-up...

This week I'm sharing with you my work with END. to mark the 35th anniversary of the Air Max 1. They were celebrating in style with the 'La Ville-Lumière' release especially for the anniversary and had me on board to create a look for the shoot.

It was nice to mix things up after playing with a lot of glow and shine in my work lately, so I was excited I got to do a more neutral matte effect. I achieved this by prepping the skin with a delicate...

I might be biased, but this week I've got a shoot to share with you from the best bridal dream team the North East has to offer! I love working with these two on shoots and weddings, it's always such a relaxed vibe, good laugh and the end results are always exactly what I envisioned. I think the results here speak for themselves at both of their talents. You might recognise the photography style from last weeks blog, as it's none other than Lee Scullion I'm talking about who also shot the wonderful Leaf for her wedding. The member of our creative trio is Gareth Lambert, who never fails...

Where do I begin with the wedding of Mr and Mrs Goddard? As I am writing this blog post and scheduling it to go out, it is exactly two years ago we were put into that first fateful lockdown and all weddings were postponed until further notice. It feels like so much longer now as we all start to catch up with our new normal and almost everyone who has faced a postponement has finally said their vows. The mad rush to fit every Bride in and the non-stop work I have been ever so grateful for to get back on my feet, it's been a whirlwind.   Amongst that whirlwind was the wonderful...
