It's time to catch up with the one and only Bryony Blake.

Poor Bryony is always gets into trouble even though she's innocent and this week she had something very unexpected confiscated at a nightclub.

We're also talking about weird and wonderful ways we're keeping cool, why we love giving compliments, a word that gives me the major ick and the iconic beauty brand that's doing amazing innovation at the moment.

There's lots more for you to enjoy too!

I've got the most innovative self tan/skincare hybrid to tell you about this week. I'm absolutely loving it.

I'll also tell you about a really good vitamin C/antioxidant serum, a beautiful moisturiser and the affordable fragrance that might just become your scent of the summer.

There's lots more too.

Enjoy xx

If you were to take a good long look at your skincare collection, there's a chance that some of the products you've spent your good money on won't be delivering on their promises. In a world of TikTok trends, aesthetic filters and clever marketing, we’ve been conditioned to buy into skincare hype that at times has little clinical proof behind it.

Well, in today's episode, we are stripping away the marketing fluff and looking at the science of skincare with my amazing guest Lorna Bowes. Lorna started her journey as an NHS dermatology nurse, has authored over 20 clinical papers, and is the founder of Aesthetic Source, the award-winning platform that brings clinically proven skincare technologies directly to top-tier clinics across the UK.

Lorna is no BS and SO knowledgable. If you're muddled about where you are with your skincare right now, I have a feeling that she's going to help you get back on track.

The Beauty Editor is back!

The gorgeous Perdita Nouril is talking about all things SPF misinformation after doing a massive investigation for a recent piece in Women's Health.

This is such a great insight into how fear mongering can spread online and why we must listen to the experts and facts.

In this week's Outspoken Review I'm telling you about some of the things I've been thinking and doing today.

I'll be talking about:

The perfume launch that inspired a huge banana installation in Liberty

The Flo app and what it's teaching me about my anxiety

Why I love M and S fashion but the one reason it's not working brilliantly for me

The K Beauty lip gloss that I bought today and why it's so different to anything I've ever tried

The J Beauty experience I had and why I feel like we have so much to learn (and unlearn) about skincare here in the UK.

And that's all in about 10 minutes....phew.....

In this episode makeup artist extraordinaire Bryony Blake is back and we have lots to catch up on.

We're chatting:

Kim K's blonde bob

Going rogue at all you can eat buffets

The hot sound guy who should be Prime Minister

Bryony's AMAZING makeup tips for hot weather

and lots more.

Enjoy Outspoken Beauties xx

After the success of last week's AM routine, this week I'm talking you through what I do at the other end of the day. I'll talk you through three different skincare routines, my skin non-negotiables, the fragrances I lean towards at bed time and why I always give my hands and feet a bit of attention before bed.

It's not often you get to chat to beauty royalty like Laura Geller, but when you do, it's a conversation that you'll never forget.

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed talking to the woman who went from Broadway makeup artist to building one of the first founder led makeup brands of all time. Laura is the woman who championed primer, putting it on the map and also brought baked makeup to us. She's also someone who has always lifted women over 40, even establishing National Mature Woman's Day - an annual celebration to champion and celebrate us.

It was Laura's makeup that impressed me first but now I've got to know the woman, I love her just as much.

Laura talks about so much including building her brand, her ethos and why she is still going strong. She also talks about some of the harder moments in her life with honesty. You are going to feel so utterly inspired by her!

Enjoy this Outspoken Beauties. It's a great listen.
