    The Power Cream That Has Got The Outspoken Beauty Trialling Panel All A Flutter!
    May 4 2024
    *This episode is in partnership with Avon*

    I'm so excited to finally be able to give you the full lowdown on what I think is one of Avon's most brilliant skincare launches to date. The ANEW Skin Renewal Power Cream has finally arrived and not only can it be used both night and day but it contains wonder ingredient Protinol.

    During the episode I talk to start by talking to the brilliant Sarah Gillespie who is Avon UK Head of Training. She tells us about the science behind the cream, why it is so special and powerful and also talks us through how we can incorporate it into our routines.

    Then it's time to chat to Dr Zoya who is an expert in clinical and aesthetic dermatology. She has been testing the cream on her patients and shares the results. She also explains how Protinol works and why this product is so exciting.

    Finally it's time to have a no holds barred chat with some of the members of the Outspoken Beauty Trialling Panel who have been putting the Power Cream through its paces and are sharing their honest thoughts.

    I can't wait for you to learn all about this truly brilliant product. It's £16 and gives moisturisers that are 10 times that price a true run for their money. Enjoy! xx

    In this week's minipod I'm talking about knowing what is normal for you whwn it comes to your gynaelogical health and why the minute things become abnormal you need to see a dr and advocate for yourself. (This is after an incredibly inspiring morning spent with the Eve Appeal as they launched their Get Lippy month).
    I'm also chatting about what I've done over the past week or so to get my confidence back (it involves a few simple beauty tricks and a lacy shirt), a gorgeous cleansing balm and the incredible scarf that does so much good.

  • Zak Heath - Challenging Makeup Stereotypes and The Fight For Gender Inclusivity

    Zak Heath - Challenging Makeup Stereotypes and The Fight For Gender Inclusivity
    Apr 23 2024
    In this episode my guest is the brilliant beauty influencer Zak Heath.

    Zak who has over a million followers on TikTok is a huge advocate of gender fluid makeup and teaches both women and men how to create beautiful, natural looks.

    During the episode we chat about the politics around men who wear makeup and why there is often a societal expectation to make it over the top and dramatic when men should be able to enjoy using natural makeup to enhance their features and make them feel more confident.

    Zak discusses how he is working towards getting for more gender inclusivity in beauty brands and also explores why beauty means so much to him.

    This is a fascinating conversation and really got me thinking about how gender divisive the beauty industry can be. I can't wait for you to hear it xx
