Fab Find of the Week: @suqqu_europe Cream Tint & Creamy Cover Concealer ✨ From the make-up brand which brought you one of our favourite foundations – serum-based SUQQU The Liquid Foundation (which also happens to be a Beauty Bible Award-winner) – come two fab new complexion coverage innovations. And we’re hard pressed to tell you which we prefer. What we will say is… we don’t often wear foundation any longer. Skin tints – and SUQQU Cream Tint is a stellar example – offer an airier formulation, but still with great coverage. In this case, we’re looking at what they call a ‘skincare-forward foundation, with a new, moisture-nurturing formula’.

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @thebodyshop Refreshing Passionfruit bodycare range 🧡 We can’t quite credit it, but we do still encounter readers who think that The Body Shop has gone the way of the dodo. And it hasn’t. Some stores closed, in a rationalisation programme (use it or lose it, folks), but many remained – and the New Product Development department has been busy, busy, busy. Price-points remain reasonable. Creativity abounds. And we recommend that you sign up to the mailing list or track down your nearest store, because there are some great-limited editions on the horizon. Like this tangy Passionfruit range, with its mouthwateringly juicy (and far from overwhelmingly sweet and fruity) scent infusing a grab-it-while-you-can range of layerable bath and body treats, including Refreshing Passionfruit Shower Gel, Refreshing Passionfruit Body Mist and Refreshing Passionfruit Body Yoghurt (we LOVE the texture of The Body Shop’s body yoghurts – luscious, non-sticky, precisely the skin drink we need at this end of summer, too.

Fab Find of the Week: @chanelofficial Les 4 Ombres Bouton palettes 😍 You might not know that one of us is obsessed with buttons. Jo’s great-aunt owned a haberdasher’s and would let Jo play with all the myriad buttons, while idling in the shop. Before she died (at the magnificent age of 93), Jo’s Great Auntie Doris presented her with a waistcoat, covered in aforementioned buttons. ‘I didn’t want to die with a full button tin,’ was her explanation – and if that’s not a great metaphor for life itself, we’d like to know what is. Bottom line, then, is that these new CHANEL palettes were always going to push our buttons (sorry!), even more than usual. The smooth and silky shades – and if you’re familiar with CHANEL’s palettes, you’ll know how richly-pigmented these are, yet how smooth – have been embossed with a wide variety of designs taken from the designs for actual buttons use on garments. And the shades are truly wearable; probably the only one we’d skip right past is the purple (but that could be just us).

She explores research-backed options including saffron, probiotics, and lifestyle choices that may help ease mild depression and anxiety. 🌿 ⚠️ These remedies can support mild depression, but if you are feeling seriously depressed, please consult a doctor immediately.

✨ Treatments We Love: @suman.facialist Hsu Relax & Restore Back Treatment ✨ When Su-Man invites you for a “back facial”, you don’t hesitate – you run. 🏃‍♀️ After all, this legendary superfacialist has been working her magic on us (and A-listers alike) for over 20 years. Her Relax & Restore Back Treatment at the Sofitel St. James is a revelation. Think: cleansing + exfoliation with her oat & jojoba scrub, tension-melting massage to open energy meridians, and the most blissful hot-flannel cleanse. The result? Not just a happy back – but a radiant, glowing face, too. ✨ Proof that poor posture doesn’t just stiffen shoulders – it dulls skin. One Su-Man session later, we walked out lighter, brighter, and repeatedly asked “What’s your secret?” We’ll let you in on it: it’s this treatment. And we’ll be back. 💆‍♀️ 💷 Relax & Restore Back Treatment, £100 at Sofitel St. James 🛁 Su-Man Face & Body Scrub, £40 #beautybibleloves #spaday #luxuryskincare #backfacial #londonspa #treatmentswelove

Beauty Steal 💖 @elfcosmeticsuk Jelly Pop Cleansing Balm 🌟 Balms are our No.1 personal choice for removing make-up. It’s a requirement to massage them into skin, which has the side benefit of revving up your circulation either a bit (if you’re quick) or a lot (if you use this window of time as a chance to give your face a good, de-stressing session). Removed with a hot cloth, which dissolves both the cleanser, the gunk, your make-up and any skin debris, they are a great choice for end-of-day – and done properly (being sure to access those nooks and crannies, particularly around the nose), we find there’s no need for a double-cleanse. It isn’t the easiest to find one at a really affordable price, though – but this one, from e.l.f.’s almost cult-status Jelly range, comes in at just over a tenner. Can’t argue with that.

Fab Find of the Week: @byoma Blemish range 💙✨ BYOMA is a brand that is built on an understanding of the vital role that barrier function plays at keeping moisture IN, and keeping pollution and bacteria OUT. And now, they’ve added a Blemish range, for faces and for bodies, which is kind to skin while also fighting the factors which trigger breakouts. The range features what BYOMA call a ‘patent-pending Clearamide Complex’, based around ceramides, among other complexion-friendly ingredients, which are like the building blocks for a healthy barrier. BYOMA Blemish Clearing Cleanser – creamy and non-stripping, this gently foaming cleanser targets blemishes with salicylic acid, with bakuchiol and green tea extract to tackle the marks that spots leave behind, along with redness.

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @myleebeautyofficial Raspberry Ripple Cuticle Oil 💖 Our No.1 piece of advice with any beauty product is: IT ONLY WORKS IF YOU USE IT. That especially applies to products like age-defying creams (notably eye creams) – and, actually, to cuticle oils. Keeping yours soft requires a diligent approach. The more pleasurable the product, the more likely you are to use it regularly – and we think you’ll really enjoy this. Natural ingredients include sweet almond, jojoba and macadamia oils – and the scent really is raspberry-ripply (if that’s a word).

Jo’s Scent Notes: @creedfragrance Oud Zarian 💕 Instead of being heavy or overpowering, the 80-year-old aged Jalali oud gives structure to waves of rose, incense, and warm woods. The result is soft, elegant, and incredibly long-lasting (Jo could still smell it 8–10 hours later - and so could everyone else, judging by the compliments). Yes, it’s pricey - but Jo says it’s absolutely worth trying on skin. This is oudh as you’ve never experienced it before. Link in bio to read more 🤍 #beautybibleloves #scentnotes #fragrance #oudh

Fab Find of the Week: @emmahardieskincare Vit C newness 🫶 Since it was launched, when Jo looks in the mirror and sees… well, a grey face looking back, she has reached for Emma Hardie Vit C Radiance Gel Moisturiser, which launched a wee while back. Honestly, a bit of a miracle worker for the skin ‘blahs.’ Apply at night - especially if it’s been a big one – and by morning, skin just looks healthy and glowy, even after too little sleep. Its skin-brightening power is truly world-class. We were genuinely excited, then – excited enough to get on a train at stupid o’clock to attend the press launch – to check out the new skin-illuminating additions to the Vit C range (not least because Emma Hardie only bring out things when they’re ready, not just for the sake of it). ✨ If your skin’s been craving a little brightness boost, this new Vit C lineup might just be the radiance reset you’ve been waiting for.

Up, up and away: a flight attendant’s insider travel wisdom ✈️ We’ve often looked at flight attendants and thought, ‘How do they do it? Stay looking calm, polished and generally rather flawless, at 37,000 feet. More than that: we know the havoc that even a short flight in Sahara-dry air can wreak on skin. Imagine having that to deal with, day in, day out. Indeed, as flight attendant Sophie Mousa, above – who works for honestly our fave airline, easyjet – observes: ‘As a cabin crew member, I spend more time in the sky than on the ground—and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that flying can wreak havoc on your skin, especially during the summer months.’ So when Sophie’s skincare recommendations landed in our inbox – and all of them available in security-friendly sizes – we felt we really had to share.
