Fab Find of the Week: @thisworks discoveries (and rediscoveries) ✨ There’s a special corner of our bedside tables and our bathroom shelves for This Works. It’s a little like having an ‘Ottolenghi Corner’ in your spice cupboard, only in the case of This Works, everything gets used regularly. Because… quite simply… everything does work. Brilliantly. (And don’t just take our word for it; there are several This Works products deemed ‘best in class’ by our testers, over the years, which make it to the pages of the new Beauty Bible book appearing next year.) In particular, This Works know about sleep. They’ve conducted clinical trials into their sleep products which simply confirm what we know: when we have sleep issues, nothing works like This Works. After a couple of nights of terrible sleep this week (too much to do, too little time), Jo reached for the new-ish Deep Sleep Beauty Oil and honestly, it was like knockout drops, which pretty much kept her zzz-ing straight through to morning.

🌿 Sarah’s Health Notes: The Power of Feeling Grateful ✨ In her latest post, Sarah reflects on how a grey, rainy Monday morning turned brighter thanks to a cup of tea, a wagging tail, and a little gratitude. Inspired by singer and new mum Suki Waterhouse’s new app With Gratitude, Sarah explores how noting even the smallest joys - from a kind gesture to a flash of autumn colour - can shift our mood and even benefit our brains. Backed by science, gratitude can lower stress, boost happy hormones, and help us connect more deeply with others. As Sarah writes, feeling grateful doesn’t just make you nicer - it makes life feel richer. 🌤️ 👉 Read the full post via the link in bio 💕 #beautybibleloves #healthnotes #gratitude #wellbeing #positivity

Jo’s Scent Notes: @nyitacollection Celestia Extrait de Parfum 🖤🌟 It is no mean feat to create a fragrance using only natural ingredients. Often, they fall flat or lack some kind of fairy dust sparkle that brings a scent alive. It’s why perfumers often turn to synthetics, maintaining that they are required to add that essential dazzle and light. But that wouldn’t do for NYITA founder Rebecca Jaquest, who goes almost literally to the ends of the earth to find beautiful, natural and sustainable ingredients for her products – up till now, bath oils and a somewhat heart-stoppingly-priced candle. Last week, perfume-loving writers gathered at spiffy Claridge’s for a session with Rebecca at which she explained where she’d sourced the oils for her debut fragrance – and allowed us to smell other natural extracts of the same ingredient.

🪄 🌟 Fab Find of the Week: @kikomilano One Magic Touch Lip Stylo 👄 ✨ Honestly, THE cleverest make-up item we’ve seen in many a long year. Because KIKO Milano One Magic Touch Lip Stylo is the first truly one-handed lipstick we’ve ever come across. Touch the button (it looks a bit like a wax seal). Slide it up. (WITH ONE HAND.) The bullet appears magically from the end, ready for applying. And then when you’re done, you just reverse the process. Magically, it disappears back into the golden tube. This would be notable enough in its own right, but the formula’s fab, too. Really intensely pigmented – there’s a choice of a dozen shades, from a deep nude through to a choice of showstopping reds – it’s deceptively lightweight; you barely feel anything’s there. AND it’s non-drying. AND it’s long-lasting, once you’ve applied it (WITH ONE HAND). We’re not sure how many ticks that is, but it’s a lot, for any lipstick.

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @mcobeauty_uk trio of blushers 💖 These are cheeky… in every way. They may look a little… familiar? That embossed powder? Juste un peu reminscent of a certain haute couture French brand’s, no…? And the swivel-up cream blush on the left…? Well, it has merits. (As it were.) As for the sponge-tipped blush in the middle? It’s DARLING, isn’t it? And if you don’t have £30+ to splash on a blusher, these are honestly GREAT affordable finds, each high-performing in their own way. Be sure to pick your shade carefully: we’d always point you in the direction of the most ‘rosewood’ neutral, where poss.

Our fab find this week is @c.atherleylondon with the beautiful Red Zonal bags ❤️ We were JUST starting to begin to maybe think about Christmas (yikes) when these landed on the desk – the latest design from C.Atherley, Cath Kidston Padgham MBE’s geranium-inspired collection, which goes by the name of ‘Red Zonal’ (that’s the type of pelargonium – the cheery ones you always see in hot Mediterranean villages, for instance). Make that several collections – and counting – because there are now No.1 (based on Pelargonium radens, which smells of rose, lemon, mint and cedar), No.2 (Pelargonium tomentosum, the slightly minty one – and Jo’s favourite of all), and the most recently launched, No.3, whose scent inspiration is the sherbet lemony Mabel Grey geraniuim. And we were looking at these bags – lovely in their own right, lined with a light waterproof fabric to make them suitable for cosmetics – and thinking: you could equally turn them into Christmas wrapping, for a sort of double-whammy gift.

Health Notes: Mole Mapping with FotoFounder at @sknclinicsuk ❤️ Jo Fairley shares an important reminder we all need to hear: don’t skip your skin checks. After noticing a suspicious patch of skin on her back, Jo booked a mole check at SK:N Clinics - and is urging everyone to make regular skin screenings part of their health routine. 💡✨ 🩺 “It’s so easy to miss what you can’t see,” Jo says, after a full-body scan with SK:N’s expert team. Whether it’s a rough patch, a changing mole, or just peace of mind, this simple appointment could be life-saving. Takeaway: Add a mole check to your health maintenance checklist. Your skin will thank you. #SkinHealth #MoleCheck #healthnotes

💖 Fab Find of the Week: @vivaia_official shoes 👟 We think we’ve found the comfiest shoes in the world. Independently of each other, Sarah and Jo have both discovered (thanks to Instagram) the brand VIVAIA – a worthy alternative to the FitFlops we’ve long been devoted to. And yes, shoes can most definitely be a beauty product. In a comfortable pair of shoes, you’ll want to walk – good for that ‘second heart’, as the legs are known. And you won’t wince or frown – neither of which is a pretty look. Between us, we’ve tried three styles so far. For Jo, the absolute winners are the black satin trainers, right – definitely dressed-up trainers, but so comfortable that she walked 14,000 steps in them with no tights on the first day – and not a hint of a whisper of a blister, either. They go by the name of Unisex Satin Luxe Sneakers (Allegro), and you can find them here. ‘The cushioning in the sole is off the scale,’ says Jo. ‘I can barely take them off.’ The price is £137 – not a snip, by any means, but the quality’s great.
