The Queen’s Coronation Gowns Sustainable Secret!! 👑
Did you know that the Queen rewore her stunning Coronation Gown, designed by Sir Norman Hartnell for her historic Coronation in 1953? 💫
The beautiful dress took 8 months to design and make, and was fabricated of the very best ivory Duchesse Satin, and was embroidered with gold and silver thread and embellished with seed pearls and even diamonds! 💎
I am so delighted that Her Majesty rewore this very special dress on several occasions. It was far too special to relegate to the archives forever - and in doing so she set the bar for rewearing her wardrobe which Kate and Camilla both do today ⭐️
Just perfect!

The Hydropeptide Brighten & Glow Jelly Mask ✨
It’s a tough job - but someone had to do it!
When RKM Communications asked me to review the Hydropeptide brighten and glow jelly mask I just couldn’t resist! 🥰
From the moment you start mixing up your beauty potion, your personal spa moment becomes super fun - the ultimate destressor, playing with blue goop which takes me straight back to my childhood!
Fun aside, my skin felt smooth, hydrated and certainly had a lovely glow after I had finished my mask, and my makeup went on far more evenly.
Unfortunately my teen has also discovered this kit and I am now having to hide it from her - literally considering a safe in my bathroom as she has recently started helping herself to anything and everything - hey ho, I’m pretty sure I did exactly the same - although I don’t think my Mum’s bathroom was ever quite so much fun! 🤭

Is Fake Tan Your Friend or Foe? ☀️
Being super pale skinned, I’ve had decades (oh gosh!) of experience in mastering the perfect self tan and as the UK sun isn’t rushing to show it’s face this Spring, I wanted to share my top tips to help you get a safe and simple glow!
1. Exfoliate – Skin prep IS key! Sloughing off those dead skin cells will provide an even base for the colour to “take” and prevent streaking! I use exfoliating gloves and a good dollop of my favourite shower gel!
2. Moisturise – Apply a thick layer to those areas you don’t want to absorb too much colour! This will act like a barrier and prevent you from orange elbows, funky looking feet and those odd coloured underarms! 💫
3. Application – I usually leave my tan on overnight to develop, and always the night before bed washing day so the hubby doesn’t complain about the sheets! A tanning mitt makes the job SO easy and prevents orange palms! Just remember to count the pumps for each body part to ensure a matching shade for each limb!
4. Remoisturise – Seriously, you’ll thank me for it when every inch of your tan is perfection! Add some more moisturiser to those niggly bits; elbows, ankles, underarms, knees. (Bonus points if you just sang that to the tune of head, shoulders, knees and toes like I did!) 💧
5. Avoid Orange Palms – Grab a (*biodegradable) wet wipe and wipe over your palms, between your fingers and around your cuticles to remove some of the colour and prevent it developing into those classic orange tan hands!
6. Powder – A top tip from me! I apply a light dusting of powder all over my body with a clean mitt! This “sets” my tan and stops me from feeling sticky/sweaty (which can cause streaking!) It also helps to stop any transfer of colour onto your sheets and clothes! I use the Lush Silky Underwear talc as it’s paraben free and doesn’t contain any of the nasties a traditional talc can! 👌🏼
7. Don’t Forget Your Face – You can either use the excess product you have on your tanning mitt, or a product specifically designed for the face!
8. Moisturise… Again! – After your preferred development time, rinse your tan and moisturise ALL over for a gorgeous, glowing tan! ✨

Bigger Bolder more Beautiful lips with these easy steps!
1 . Overline your lips with a darker brown nude lip pencil. This acts as a bit of contour and creates the illusion of shadow, as if you had fuller lips. I use @charlottetilbury
2. Colour in the body of your lips with a lip pencil closer to your natural lip colour. This not only creates depth but gives the rest of the makeup something to grab onto and last longer. I use @charlottetilbury
3. Fill in with a lipstick to add depth of colour and moisture. I love the @itcosmeticsuki ones.
4. Go back in with your darker lip pencil and colour in the corners of your mouth, creating the illusion of fullness and depth.
5. Make it pop in 3D with a bit of gloss. I use @chantecailleuk
Go give it a go and tag me in your results on Instagram - I’d love to see!
