Fab Find of the Week: @espaskincare Inner Calm Body Collection 🌟 We are about to enter the season of present-buying, wrapping (and the rest). But before you embark on this exercise in generosity, we invite you to put yourself, first. It’s like making sure you place the oxygen mask over your own mouth, before helping anyone else – and of all the kits that have crossed our path in the past few months, this one is designed to deliver the sense of Zen that we all need to plough on through. So, you probably haven’t budgeted for this – but the ESPA Inner Calm Body Collection offers £87 worth of value, and contains some real wellbeing gems – three reasons to close the bathroom door and leave the list outside, all of them real ESPA classics.

Fab Find of the Week: @the_seasonist 💙✨ While we understand the idea of having a ‘signature’ scent that your loved ones recognise you by, we’re a bit more fickle around these parts. Certain fragrances spell summer – they come out when the opaque tights go away. Others are warming, cosy, cocooning – and would feel like wearing a velvet coat, to us, if worn in summer. The Seasonist, which launched recently, taps into that in the most wonderful way: a quartet of fragrance collections which capture the brightness of spring, summer’s energy, autumn’s season-of-mist-and-mellow-fruitfulness and winter’s still calm.

🌹 A floral fragrance with a darker, more intriguing edge!

A floral for those who don’t usually love florals! ✨ Link in bio for the full review 🌟 #scentnotes #beautybibleloves #fragrancelovers #floralfragrance

Fab Find of the Week: @stilauk x @thehungergames 🌟 There’s a time for barely-there make-up. (Most days, for us – ‘like you, but prettier,’ as Bobbi Brown always used to say to us.) But we acknowledge that there can be a time for a little cinematic drama. So, Stila’s new collaboration with ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping’ offers both, with character-inspired colours, shimmering textures – but so importantly, enough wearable options to tempt even those who couldn’t tell their tributes from their Quarter Quells. (Er, that’s definitely us. We had to ask younger members of the family to fill us in on all of this, but we are rather taken with the collection – and its packaging – so it had to be done.) Stila is the film’s official make-up partner, hence this collaboration comes with genuine backstage credentials, launching in advance of the movie itself (which comes out on 20th November).

Beauty Steal: @saltoftheearthdeodorant Spiced Gingerbread Deodorants ✨ Er… We weren’t expecting our underarms to join in with the seasonal baking mood, but here we are. Salt of the Earth Spiced Gingerbread Deodorants are a rather cute way to bring a little cheer to an everyday essential – and at £7.49 each, they’re deffo kinder to the purse than most seasonal scent splurges.

🖤 Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @lorealparis Les Smokeys Eyeshadow Sticks Love a smokey eye? These twist-up shadow sticks make it so easy. Just swipe on, blend with a brush or your fingers, and you’re good to go! They’re richly pigmented, set in place and won’t leave you with panda eyes. The look absolutely doesn’t have to be as dramatically rock-chick and smouldering as our model, above – you can use them to get definition quickly, for an out-of-the-door eye look in no time at all, or to add a smokey eyeline to a powder shadow base. And at £11.99, they’re a bit of a bargain, too! Tap the link in bio to find out more 🤩 #weekendsteal #lorealparis #smokeyeye

Head over to beautybible.com to join us in exploring this extraordinary store @westfieldlondon - here’s just a taster of why we’ve featured it in ‘Shops We Love’, because we really do! @aromazone_uk is HUGE in France, but only recently made footfall here. (Plans are afoot to open several more, the lovely CEO @pennygrivea tells us.) And it certainly deserves to be equally mahoosive on this side of the Channel, not least for the brilliant pricing, made possible in many cases by sourcing direct from producers and growers, as well as the fact there’s absolutely no unnecessary packaging. What makes the pricing even more impressive is that many, many of the products are organically certified. It’s probably tbiggest range of products from a single brand that we’ve seen in one place – and we’re love, love, loving what we’ve tried so far. There’s the option to super-charge products with additional ‘boosters’, across some haircare and skincare lines. But if you’re into making your own cosmetics (and take it from us, it’s a cinch… we’ve even written books on the subject!), this is a one-stop shop for cosmetic ingredients. We braved Westfield. Here’s why you should, too… #aromazone #affordableskincare #westfieldwhitecity

Health Notes: Breathe like a US Navy SEAL to reduce stress 😌 Few of us will be in the sort of high risk, high stress situations that Navy SEALS confront as the special ops force of the US Navy. Thank goodness. But for the sort of everyday stress most of us face we’d do well to copy the box breathing technique the SEALS use to stay calm. Many experts suggest this simple mindful breathing can help many people, including those with ADHD to manage impulsive behaviour.

Fab Find of the Week: @neomwellbeing Wind Down and Slow Down collections 🌚✨ Nights are about to get darker and cosier. And NEOM Wellbeing has TWO new and exclusive ranges to make the most of shorter days and snuggly evenings. NEOM are very considered about their pace of launches, so this is definitely big news, built around the simple idea of using fragrance to comfort and cocoon, by way of different home-scenting rituals. Link in bio for our full review of the new ranges ‘Wind Down’ and the limited edition ‘Slow Down’ 🌟 #beautybibleloves #fabfind #newcollection #neomwellbeing
