Received the most thoughtful surprise delivery from the lovely @lameruk 💚

I’m already a big fan of The Concentrate, The Treatment Lotion (I love using this on my brides before their makeup, to prep the skin) and The Eye Concentrate.

I’m looking forward to travelling with theses new minis this week, including The Cleansing Foam, Micellar Water and The Treatment Lotion Hydrating Mask; the packs already feel like they’re bursting with skin goodness! These will be a perfect pick me up as it helps to recharge dull, dehydrated skin with an instant injection of moisture. Perfect for last minute glow from within to really radiate on the surface ✨

La Mer is available from @harrodsbeauty @lookfantastic @spacenk @theofficialselfridges @johnlewis and cremedelamer.co.uk 💚

I couldn’t wait to try the NEW Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation SPF 20 from @cliniqueuk and it’s just lush 💓 It’s a weightless, medium-to-full coverage foundation that visibly helps improve bare skin’s appearance and I’ve already tested this out on a fussy friend and even she’s super impressed with the satin-matte finish 🤗

My skin feels brighter and looks more plump as the foundation has 3 serum technologies 💓 I personally love the fact that I only need to use the smallest amount and it has fantastic skincare benefits of hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin c & not forgetting SPF!

It’s also perfect for this time of year with all our Bollywood glam events as it’s waterproof, sweat & humidity resistant, doesn’t look cakey & doesn’t crease or streak! Plus it’s fragrance and oil free! I can hear you brides, sisters and moms jumping for joy 🤗

I’m wearing shade CN28. To find out more visit clinique.co.uk

Things are looking much brighter in my world all thanks to @katesomervilleskincare 💓 The new Daily Deflector Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is an ultra-lightweight, 100% mineral shield that provides protection against harmful UVA & UVB rays, while helping to keep skin looking and feeling its best. This expertly formulated SPF contains a Ceramide Complex to strengthen your skin barrier and lock in moisture, for healthy, glowing skin throughout Summer ☀️
.
Kate Somerville recommend’s that the new SPF is used as your base protection in the morning, and topped up on-the-go throughout the day with the ultra-fine UncompliKated SPF50 Spray! I love using the spray over my makeup and every skincare addict definitely needs this (no wonder it’s always out of stock! 😮) I know so many of you are constantly asking about an SPF over makeup and this is it!

@omorovicza is a brand I discovered last year & it really has given me the experience of having an at home spa. It’s a beautiful, luxurious range, which was founded in 2006 by Margaret and Stephen de Heinrich de Omorovicza in Budapest. The products possess the healing properties of Hungary’s thermal waters with a patented Healing Concentrate™ to deliver therapeutic minerals to the deepest layers of the skin. If you’re following my stories you will see how much I love using the Queen of Hungary Mist, Thermal Cleansing Balm & so many other wonderful products for my skincare.
.
Omorovicza have now launched the Queen of Hungary Evening Mist, which I’m super excited about as it encourages sleep & relaxation, something we can all definitely benefit from. Whether you’re a bride to be trying to get in those extra few hours of beauty sleep before the big day; working long hours & need to sink into some much needed pillow rest or a yummy mummy that desperately wants some calm 💓 It’s the perfect product that can help so many of us and it smells absolutely divine with lavender extract 💓

I was invited to the launch of the new AMAZING Vita-C Triple Exfoliating Facial by @muradskincareuk and it really does give a glow of a Microderm facial from home ✨ I love it 💓

In almost every professional facial, skin is prepped with exfoliation as it lifts away dead skin cells to help boost radiance, minimise the look of dark spots & uneven tone, and clear the way for better penetration of potent serums & treatments that follow.

I know nothing can replace a professional facial, however an at-home exfoliation will allow the maintenance that keeps skin radiant and healthy-looking. Through testing, the Vita-C Triple Exfoliating Facial has revealed results that display comparable results to a professional Microderm facial 👏 The Gold-stabilised vitamin C delivers antioxidant defense & brightening benefits, and the colour-changing formula indicates even application to make exfoliation an effective and gentle experience every time 💓

I would highly recommend this, especially to brides who are after glowing skin for their big day 🥂 This triple exfoliating facial is clinically proven to be effective in just one use 💯

In love with this newness from @hudabeauty 💓 Rich & creamy, the new Power Bullet Cream Glow Sweet Nudes are a fresh reincarnation of the ever-popular Power Bullet Matte Lipsticks, this time with a luscious and buttery finish 💓

This new collection has been made to match a range of natural lip pigmentations, with a weightless and comfortable cocktail of nourishing ingredients for a result that looks like your lips, but better. The Power Bullet Cream Glow formula stimulates collagen production, smooth, plump, hydrate, condition, retexturize and provide antioxidant protection. There are seven dewy shades inspired by love, ‘Buttercup’ and ‘Angel’ are perfect for lighter skin tones, while ‘Honey Bun’, ‘Sweet Cheeks’ and ‘Baby Face’ are ideal for medium tones and ‘Habibi’ and ‘Amore’ look flawless when paired with deeper tones.

The Lip Contour 2.0 are a soft, buttery formula & accompanied by a mini sharpener at the base of the pencil (because there’s nothing worse than a blunt tip!). Allowing you to achieve a precise & defined outline – draw just outside your natural lip-line to subtly augment before ‘filling in’ – the long-wear, creamy pigment enhances lips without smudging or budging; staying put by the pool, in the rain & under masks! Effortlessly applying like butter and soothing lips with its velvet-matte texture, a nourishing complex of soybean and liquorice ensures lips are left feeling plump & comfortable. The twist-up bullet makes application a breeze, and the Contour comes in 12 inclusive shades – from ‘Sandy Beige’ to ‘Universal Red’ (a show-stopping scarlet) and everything in between.

I’ve talked about this foundation so many times, but today’s phone call by a lovely friend who wanted to know more for herself and her mom, prompted me to share my love once again 💓
.
Offering both coverage & care for your skin, the @esteelauderuk Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturizing Makeup SPF45 leaves skin looking smoother and feeling super hydrated. What I love is that it’s available in a variety of shades to suit your unique skin tone. The foundation is nice and lightweight and really provides breathability while giving your complexion buildable medium to full coverage colour.
.
It’s blended with Estee Lauder’s Ion Charged Water Complex, which means skin is thoroughly moisturised, locking in hydration for a natural looking glow lasting up to 12 hours. Also, soothing probiotic (love!) technology helps to calm irritation for increased comfort while Chia-Seed extract nourishes and protects thanks to its antioxidant content.
.
Long-lasting with SPF 45 UVA/UVB protection, this foundation allows you to enjoy a flawless look that is shielded against damage throughout the whole day. I highly recommend this and love the fact it’s protecting my skin too ☺️

I’m also wearing The Illuminator Primer & Pure Color Love lipstick in Strapless.
