Shops We Love: @bramleyproducts new Bath shop 🛁 That’s Bath, the city… and bath as in bath treats! Because one of our favourite bath and bodycare ranges has just opened the most gorgeous-looking store in one of our fave cities. As Bramley say, ‘We believe in the magic of nature’ – and while Bath’s not on a par with the West End in terms of stressiness, this is definitely an oasis in this bustling city. As well as being probably the nicest-smelling spot in the whole of Bath! Link in bio to find out more ✨ #beautybibleloves #shopswelove

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @maxfactor False Lash Effect Supreme Recharge Mascara 😍 We don’t generally go for a ‘false lash’ effect – we’re more the natural type. But without looking spidery or as if lashes are entering the room a few seconds before the rest of you, this is a darned good mascara. It grips. (‘Waisted’ silicone wand, grabbing every last lash.) It properly volumises. It adds lashings of black pigment to the lashes, and – if that IS your thing – it’s buildable to a quite dramatic effect. We also very much like the fact that this is refillable (a first for Max Factor) 🌟 Link in bio for the full review 💕 #beautybibleloves #beautybloggers #weekendsteal

Fab Find of the Week: @yardleylondonuk x @lgfbuk Vibrant Peony ✨ We recently had a lovely deep-dive into everything that’s going on at the Yardley brand – including a swoon over some of their vintage advertising – at a press showcase. There’s some lovely stuff coming, but this caught our eye immediately: a collaboration with one of the beauty world’s most heart-warming charities, which we have ourselves supported for several decades 🫶 Look Good Feel Better works with the beauty industry to offer makeovers and other kinds of support to women affected by cancer. We’ve seen it in action: patients at various stages of treatment, self-confidence eroded, walking through the doors… and walking out again, heads held high, feeling so much better about the world, life, themselves. £1 from the sale of each Vibrant Peony fragrance will go to Look Good Feel Better (and they aim to raise at least £20,000) 🎀 💖 The fragrance itself? A bit of a crowd-pleaser, actually, with a bouquet of rose, peony and jasmine at the heart, introduced by fruity notes of apple, pear and peach, and with a cloud of musks alongside cedarwood softly emerging, as it warms on skin.

Salons We Love: The Pelican Rooms, Deal 💙✨ We have long believed that the place in which you have a therapy is actually… part of the therapy. In fact, the British Holistic Medical Association used to run an award which recognised exactly that, the ‘Healing Spaces in Holistic Healthcare Award’ – the idea that the feel of a place itself can enhance the power of the treatment itself. Jo was reminded of how important the setting itself is on a recent visit to Deal, where she enjoyed – properly enjoyed – a relexology treatment in the beautiful setting of @thepelicanrooms overlooking Deal’s beach. (You can just see the pier in the background!) All sea blues, mermaid wallpaper, sisal rugs and beautiful design details, it had the feeling of pure seaside sunshine, even on a grey autumnal day.

Beauty Steal: @childsfarm Strawberry & Mint range ✨ This has been a huge hit with some special small people in our life, infused with a luscious and not-too-sweet strawberry scent that makes shampooing and conditioning a real pleasure. (They’ll love it – and if they’re too small to wash their own hair, you’ll enjoy it, too.) Specifically, the Child’s Farm Strawberry & Mint range is formulated to tame tangles ‘in half the time’ – and frankly, this would have transformed Jo’s childhood! She was only ‘allowed’ to wash her waist-length hair once a week, because of the time it took for her mum to get a comb through it afterwards. With this? A cinch.

Fab Find of the Week: @officialnavyprofessional hand and cuticle care ✨ Dear Diary: 2026 is going to be the year when we take better care of our nails and cuticles. What with gardening, in particular, we know we’re guilty of failing to give them the TLC they deserve. But now we’ve discovered Navy nail care, we promise all that is going to change…’ As beauty resolutions go, doing more for your nails is a very positive one – not least in dividends swiftly paid, for the amount of effort invested. Cuticles soften swiftly, and don’t any longer snag. Hands look instantly more groomed. And over the slightly longer term, nail health and even growth is enhanced, when you make a habit of daily (or more conveniently, nightly) care: stronger, more flexible nails, resistant to breaks and snaps. Navy is a brilliant new find, then – introduced to us by our friends at @spacenk – which makes regular nail care into a real pleasure.

✨ Your New Year beauty clear-out – what to ditch, what to keep 💫 Why wait for spring for a good clean and a clear-out? This has always seemed like the perfect time of year to say farewell to the old, and make space for some of the new beauty finds that will cross our desks (and sometimes make the leap to our bathroom shelves or make-up bags), in 2026. While we’re pretty allergic to New Year’s Resolutions generally – drop a dress size, start running three times a week, take up Esperanto (all of which are pretty much doomed to have been ditched by mid-Jan), it is definitely within our power to have a bit of a de-junk on the beauty front, making it simpler to find things while ditching products that are definitely past their use-by date, metaphorically or in real terms.

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @dr_organic Skin Calm range 😌✨🫶 We’ve talked a little bit lately about the power of oats to soothe skin – they are being harnessed more widely for their impressive power, backed up by research, to multi-task as soothers for inflamed, itchy, dry skin. Strengthening the skin’s all-important barrier, they also hydrate and generally support a healthier skin microbiome. (Certain phenolic compounds in oats also act as antioxidants, reducing oxidative stress in skin cells.) And this multi-tasking, skin-saving power has now been harnessed by the naturals brand Dr.Organic for an entire range – the Skin Calm collection.

✨ Fab Find of the Week: @thisworks Own Time fragrance ✨ With the new year underway and the return to work in full swing, beauty sleep suddenly feels more essential than ever. Introducing This Works Own Time fragrance. We first expected little immediate impact on sleep – because during its launch, This Works CEO Dr. Anna Persaud told us that it would take a wee while of using, to take effect – we duly spritzed at 6 p.m., ‘to start the evening wind-down process’… and slept like a log. Second night: same. And so it has gone on, resulting in easier falling asleep, and fewer night-time expeditions for a wee. That is some achievement. At first, we thought it might be coincidence, but it’s been about six weeks, now, and the benefits are crystal clear. This Works Own Time has been formulated in a really interesting, almost back-to-front way. The specific components of essential oils in the blend were chosen for their power to relax and calm, and the fragrance almost ‘retro-fitted’ from there.

✨ Jo’s Scent Notes | Christmas Scent of the Day ✨ For years, Jo’s Christmas Day fragrance has been Guerlain Mitsouko - warm, spicy and wonderfully festive. A classic scent that feels made for tradition and celebration. But this year, Jo has fallen for something different: Ambre Antique, a fragrance first created in 1905 and now beautifully relaunched by INFINIMENT COTY PARIS. Ambre Antique was the very first amber perfume ever made. Bold and sensual in its day, it has been faithfully recreated using original handwritten formulas from Coty’s archives. The result feels like stepping back in time. Warm notes of bergamot, vanilla, sandalwood and coumarin are wrapped in rich florals - orange blossom, jasmine, iris and rose - creating a scent that’s comforting, elegant and quietly seductive. With only 1,905 bottles available in the UK, exclusively at Liberty London, this is a truly special Christmas fragrance. #beautybibleloves #scentnotes #scentoftheday #fragrance #christmasfragrance

Fab Find of the Week: @moodsaromatherapy MoodSwings ✨ The first things made us sit up and take notice IMMEDIATELY when we came across the new brand Moods at the John Bell & Croyden showcase recently was that one of its founders, Daniel Smith, trained with our late and much-loved friend, Aromatherapy Associates co-founder Geraldine Howard. Nobody we’ve ever met was more of a master of the art of essential oils, which meant Moods – and their MoodSwings fragrances – had us at ‘hello’. The second hook – oh-so-importantly – was the blends themselves. Leaving aside that they’ve been based on neuroscientific research into their mood-shifting efficacy, they smell just great. Sounds like a given? Not necessarily, and when it comes to aromatherapy, we need to be drawn to the blends on an almost visceral level, in order to encourage use (and thus enjoy the benefits). Each blend is based around eight essential oils, which as we’ve said are carefully chosen for their proven effect on the limbic system, using ‘advanced neuro-imaging, biomarkers and behavioural testing to measure things like focus, reaction time and emotional regulation,’ explains Daniel’s co-founder Gregory Allen.
