✨ Weekend Steal: @scentologyofficial Body Mists ✨ Body mists are having a moment – but we can’t all stretch to the likes of Gucci and Chanel, for an all-over spritz. These, though, caught our eye (sleek, chic packaging that belies the affordable price), but more importantly our noses, with some really rather lovely blends. And what we love about body mists – which explains why they’re ripe for a revival – is that they offer the pleasure of spritzing and respritzing, to freshen up as the day wears on.

7 Secrets of Beauty & Wellbeing: @lisabutcherofficial, holistic therapist 🫶 Lisa Butcher is famously beautiful – she has graced so many glossy pages, as a model – but it’s her post-modelling life that fascinates us. Having faced personal struggles herself, Lisa has become an in-demand holistic therapist, offering hypnotherapy, shamanic practice and reiki (with a string of qualifications that also include NLP and Emotional Freedom Techniques), having discovered via her own personal journey how powerfully helpful these treatments can be.

✨ Fab Find of the Week: @rollrdeo anti-odorants ✨ Who’d have thought it? Roll-on deodorants just got super-sexy. Meet Rollr, the brainchild of Milo Pinckney, who we first met last year. At that point, after four years involving over 40 formulations by three chemists, with 70 testers and (we’re told), around the same number of 3D-printed parts, this charming young man only had a prototype.

🌊 Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @seamagikskincare Magnesium Spa Flakes ✨ There are real triple-duty health and beauty benefits from this super-affordable bath soak, which hydrates and softens skin, helps heal skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, and is also the most efficient way to boost magnesium levels, as we learnt from an Oxford researcher many years ago. And magnesium is a vital mineral to keep topped up, needed for lots of body functions including blood and bone health (it relaxes blood vessels helping blood flow, helps regulate blood sugar levels and is as important as calcium for bones), as well as being deeply relaxing so you sleep better.

7 Secrets of Beauty & Wellbeing: Lara Morgan, founder of @iamscentered 💙 Some of you will already have entered our prize draw to win Scentered’s fabulous mood-shifting balms (And if not, enter via the link in our bio!) They’re the latest venture from one of the hardest-working and dynamic women we know, Lara Morgan. If you’ve ever used a posh hotel’s in-room (equally posh) toiletries, you probably have Lara to thank: her previous venture, Pacific Direct, grew into a global mega-business from the humblest of beginnings: Lara began by selling miniature sewing kits and and shower caps to hotels—a strategy suggested by her grandmother. Shower caps off to her! A few years ago, Lara founded the most beautiful aromatherapeutic range, Scentered. Frustrated by having pretty much to take a bath or shower to tap into the power of essential oils, she launched beautiful, skin-friendly balms which glide onto skin. Simply breathe - and reset. But in the introduction to her tips, Lara shared with us her rather different thoughts on beauty care, some of which took us slightly by surprise. Minimalist or not, there’s something refreshing about Lara’s approach. Discover her tips, link in bio 🫶 #essentialoils #beautybibleloves #skincare #skincaretips #beautyandwellbeing #7secrets #scentered

✨ New on Jo’s Scent Notes ✨ Jo shares a first look at Vianne’s Confession by @4160tuesdays - a stunning new scent created by perfumer Sarah McCartney in collaboration with author Joanne Harris. Inspired by Harris’s new novel Vianne (out May 22nd), this fragrance evokes the rich, atmospheric setting of Marseille in late summer, blending incense, dark chocolate, rose, salt, and earthy notes like clay and moss. Jo discovered it at the vibrant Barnes Fragrance Fair - and hasn’t stopped spritzing since. 🔗 Read more (link in bio) 💕 📚 Book and fragrance both launch May 22 #4160Tuesdays #ScentNotes #FragranceReview #PerfumeLaunch #BeautyBibleLoves

Fab Find of the Week: @c.atherleylondon No.3 💖 We bring you the third in Cath Kidston Padgham’s geranium-tastic collections: Geranium No.3. They’ve become an absolute cult fave of so many people, and really are helping to revive a love of ‘pellies’, as they’re fondly known. We’ve raved about Geranium No.1 (which was based on the scent of Pelargonium radens). We’ve got the trumpets out again for Geranium No.2, based around Jo’s favourite scented geranium, Pelargonium tomentosum, with its fabulously velvety, almost furry leaves and minty scent. And now we have this newbie, an incredibly lemony scent based on Pelargonium Mabel Grey, another of Cath’s favourite scented ‘pellies.’ The fragrances are all 100% natural, cleverly blended from essential oils to recreate so perfectly the plants that inspired them.

🌻 Sarah Loves... Late Spring 2025 🫶 For Sarah, it’s all about looking natural but better for spring/summer - smoother and more even skin tone with a bit of glow. PLUS she shares details of a months’ long programme to help her nails get stronger and healthier. Featuring amazing products from: @lumene @cosmeticsalacarte @thenaturalafrica @kurebazaar @vitabiotics Link in bio to read more 💛 #beautybible #sarahloves #spring2025

✨ Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @dr.pawpaw Tinted Lip Oils 👄💖 We know we keep banging on about lip oils, but they are honestly our new favourite thing. And trust Dr.PAWPAW to create a brilliant version: 98% natural, luscious and almost cheap-as-chips. Above is the trio of all three shades, but these are available individually. There’s a sheer neutral Nude Pout, summertastic Coral Crush and the deeper-toned Berry Kiss, which accentuates and enriches your natural lip tone. (We’re always drawn to these berry shades, personally.) Link in bio to read more 🌟 #beautybibleloves #weekendsteal #drpawpaw #lipoil #affordablebeauty

A gem of an exhibition has opened to celebrate 155 years of @penhaligons fragrances, at 3 Hanover Square in London’s West End. Amazing archive bottles, a fascinating deep-dive into the history of this treasured English brand – first founded by William Penhaligon – and not only a chance to sniff your way through the current collection, but also buy exclusive (and fabulous) merch, in the ‘gift’ shop as you exit. You can also swoon over the FAH-BU-LOUS volume about Penhaligon’s from @taschen books. It’s only open till Sunday afternoon – and the bad news is that all online tickets are sold out, but we’re assured that Penhaligon’s are accepting walk-ins. We felt very privileged to be invited to the launch, listening to a fascinating panel that included broadcaster and fragrance writer Katie Puckrick, sprinkled with stardust by @richard.e.grant . #fragrance #penhaligons #scentedhistory

Win @margaret_dabbs_london fabulous treats for legs, feet and hands (worth £378) 💖 ✨ One lucky winner will scoop a magnificent prize from the range created by Margaret Dabbs OBE, who’s long been our Beauty Bible go-to for medi-pedis and manicures – and for products which deliver true TLC ✨ You could win: Margaret Dabbs London Concealing & Firming Leg Serum (normally £156 for 600ml) Margaret Dabbs London PURE Cracked Heel Treatment Balm (£56 for 140ml) Margaret Dabbs London Luxury Manicure & Pedicure Set (£150) Margaret Dabbs London Nail Strengthening Treatment (£16) Link in bio to enter - prize draw closes 11th June 💝 #beautybibleloves #prizedraw #bodycare #handcare #beautyblogger #manicure #pedicure

Jo’s Scent Notes: @florislondon Purple Mémoire 💜 Jo has a longstanding affection for Floris London fragrances - an admiration that began in her teenage years and continues to this day. What draws Jo to Floris isn’t just the exquisite scents, but the authenticity behind the brand. In an era where marketing machines churn out countless celebrity fragrances and sponsored content dominates the scene, Floris stands apart: a ninth-generation perfume house, still family-run, launching new fragrances only when they’re truly ready.

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @loveimperialleather Ultimate Moisture collection 🤍🌟 Ah, Imperial Leather. Growing up, you were either a Palmolive family or an Imperial Leather family, the latter seeming to have a little more cachet. Astonishingly, the label on this widely-TV-advertised soap stayed put through to the last sliver – in fact, it outlived the last sliver, seemingly Superglued to the bar itself (although its conception definitely pre-dates Superglue). We have to say that the brand dropped off our radar somewhere along the way, due to an affection for even posher soaps. (One of life’s great small pleasures.) But it’s firmly BACK with this range of body cleansers and exfolliators, in two really rather (surprisingly) lovely scents.

Win @iamscentered Daily Rituals collection (worth £39) – 10 mood-shifting sets to give away 😍 We’re longstanding fans of these aromatherapeutic creations, which help us to navigate modern (stressful!) life – and we’re so happy that 10 of you will be able to experience Scentered’s 100% natural aroma power, for yourselves. So, our lucky winners will each receive a Scentered Daily Ritual Collection: a beautiful zippered bag for life created from recycled water bottles. (Note: Lara is passionate, as we are, about sustainability.) Along with a full-size, does-what-it-says Sleep Well balm (normally £16.90 for 5g), the kit contains five mini Scentered balms: Happy – promotes positivity and happiness (and yes, the lemon myrtle, grapefruit and spearmint are truly smile-making) Focus – for focus and clarity (via rosemary, mint and clary sage) De-stress – to induce relaxation and calmness (no surprises that this blend of neroli, chamomile and mandarin is the one we reach for most often!) Love – promotes confidence and wellbeing via rose, patchouli and cedarwood Escape – sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy this blend of frankincense, sandalwood and subtle oud Link in bio to enter - prize draw closes Wednesday 4th June 💖 #beautybibleloves #beautybloggers #prizedraw #scentered #mood #wellbeing #dailyrituals

🌟 Fab Find of the Week: @wonderbalm_ 🌟 Korean beauty has come to be associated with a multi-step regime, featuring many products and a lot of bells and whistles. What a relief, then, to find a Korean product that de-clutters your bathroom shelf/bedside table, rather than clutters it up. Wonderbalm really is a bit of a wonder. It’s not the first multi-tasking balm we’ve written about, and probably won’t be the last, but we’re enjoying finding more and more tasks that this glass pot of balm can perform. It’s a simple formula, with key botanicals that include shea butter, olive oil, vitamin E, orange oil and candelilla wax. Link in bio to read more 💖 #beautybibleloves #fabfindoftheweek #wonderbalm

@emmaroberts x @kikomilano 3-in-1 Eyes Multitasker 😮‍💨❤️ This is one of the higher priced products that we’ve seen from KIKO Milano, who we rate very highly – but it’s a swanky collab with American actress/singer Emma Roberts, and we definitely rate it as a steal for its sheer versatility. They claim ‘3-in-1’: eye pencil, eyeshadow and eyeliner. Certainly, it multi-tasks as a smooshable, so-easy eyeshadow, or a stronger pencil that can be used for defining. 3-in-1 Eyes Multitasker is self-sharpening, and the finish you get is all down to how hard you press – a little more force for eyelining, a lighter touch for shading. (Can be blended with fingers, or a synthetic eyeshadow brush.) It lasts well – they promise 12 hours and we wouldn’t contradict.

Ssssssh... Why we’re loving @sephorauk Quiet Hours 😌 We’ve never been fans of shopping in stores pounding with loud music, where strip lights blazed. And as the years have gone by, that’s grown into active dislike. (Jo literally feels panicky and on sensory overload in department stores, and avoids them wherever possible.) So Sephora’s Quiet Hours Pilot Project is music to our ears – only NOT. It began a couple of weeks ago, and will run till 26th July, in selected stores. If it’s a success, Sephora – the first beauty retailer to pilot this idea worldwide – should be extending the scheme.

Sarah’s Health Notes: Walking back to happiness 🚶‍♀️🥰 Walking has often been seen as a poor relation in the exercise stakes. But as GP Dr. William Bird says, ‘the combination of non-competitive physical activity and nature is comforting and restorative, proven to benefit our mental and physical health’. Or, as Jo and Sarah wrote in their second book Feel Fab Forever, ‘when you’re feeling blue, walking can put you back in the pink’… So, in this week’s Health Notes, we encourage you to step out and walk your way to well-being - your mind and body will thank you.

Fab Find of the Week: @spacenk Paros Tides bodycare 🌞💙 If this doesn’t have you dreaming of clear blue skies, crystalline sea and summer, nothing will 🌊 We love fragrance’s power to catapult us through time and space – especially on dark days. (Although happily the sky looks pretty ‘Greek Island’s to us, this morning.) And this new collection from Space NK, which we’ve been wallowing in – literally – captures sunshine and sea breeziness in its really refreshing scent. Let a little Greek island magic into your day - explore the new collection via the link in our bio 🏝️ #parostides #bodycare #spacenk #greekinspired #fragrancelovers #newcollection #sunshine
