💖 Fab Find of the Week: @trinnylondon Lip Reset 🫦 Lip ‘fashion’ has lately been blurry. Which we love, sometimes; it’s so easy-peasy. But this new duo from Trinny reminds us just how flattering, how de-ageing and polished lips can look, when we try a little bit harder than a blind swipe of tinted lip balm.

Jo’s Scent Notes: @olfactive_o New Earth ✨ In her latest Scent Notes, Jo shares why New Earth by Olfactive O has become a firm favourite. Created by Olivia da Costa, the much-anticipated fragrance is inspired by connection, seasonality and the beauty of living in the present. Its mantra, ‘I am luminous, rooted and present’ perfectly captures the scent’s grounding, restorative spirit. For Jo, New Earth evokes rain-soaked gardens, shared meals, treasured memories and the simple joy of noticing the world around us.

Fab Find of the Week: @weledauk Skin Food anniversary edition 💚✨ It’s a cult. It’s also a go-to recommendation that we’ve shared countless times with touchy-skinned friends and family, not to mention teens starting on their skincare journeys. (It also happens to be loved by discerning women ranging from Claudia Winkleman to Victoria Beckham via Bella Hadid.) And beyond that, it’s won a slew of Beauty Bible Awards. Its secret? A barrier-boosting blend of organic sunflower seed oil, sweet almond oil, lanolin, beeswax, and plant extracts of wild pansy, chamomile, calendula and rosemary, which nurtures, soothes, protects (and makes a great base for make-up, which is why you’ll find it in so many pros’ kits). 🎂 Amazingly, this cream has just turned 100 years old! 🥳 A century later, and it’s still earning its place in beauty bags everywhere. To celebrate, Skin Food is now available in its biggest-ever 100ml size. More of the icon to love 💚✨ #beautybibleloves #fabfindoftheweek #skinfood

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @bourjois_uk Little Round Pot Blushers 💖 💃 We are doing a little dance. No, a great big dance! Because we have discovered one of the best powder blushers ever created, a multi-Beauty Bible Award-winner over the decades, is B-A-C-K. A few years ago, it disappeared. MADNESS! But now it has returned to the UK to grace our cheeks in its unique, fabulous fashion. (Or at least, it’s back at Amazon, which we generally hate to point readers to, but… in this case, necessary. We somehow missed its fleeting reappearance at Superdrug, but hopefully, another high street retailer will see sense and return it to its rightful place on the shelves.)

Sarah’s summer beauty line-up has officially arrived ☀️✨ With a Golden Wedding celebration in France, picnic concerts at Forde Abbey and a house full of guests ahead, Sarah has discovered a handful of beauty heroes she’s genuinely loving this season… 💅 @kurebazaar Base Intensive Hyaluronique + Le Vernis Lumière After struggling with weak, flaky nails, Sarah says this duo transformed them. The treatment base coat strengthens and smooths, while the luminous polish delivers a glossy, elegant finish that lasts beautifully. ☀️ @hadalabotokyo_uki Light Hydrator Sun Face Cream SPF50 A lightweight SPF moisturiser that gives skin a matte, hydrated finish without pilling under make-up. Packed with Super Hyaluronic Acid, it leaves skin plump, supple and protected all summer long. ✨ @shuuemura_artofhair Essence Absolue Oil Sarah still swears by this nourishing hair oil for taming frizz, smoothing dry ends and adding shine to coloured hair. Just a drop or two keeps everything looking healthy. 👁 @cosmeticsalacarte Matte Eye Define Salmon The ultimate brightening trick for tired eyes. This soft apricot-toned shadow helps neutralise dark inner-corner shadows and instantly makes eyes look fresher and more awake. 🥛 @loccitane Amande Sublime Quenching Milk Veil A silky body lotion with the dreamiest almond scent. Sarah loves how instantly softening and luxurious it feels on dry summer skin — indulgent, comforting and beautifully nourishing.

Fab Find of the Week: @lush Ultra Fresh monthly box 🌊💙 If you like to buy your fruit and veggies at a farmer’s market or via a box scheme – or you’re simply into natural-as-possible skincare – then you’ll be as taken with this innovation from LUSH as much as we are. The ‘Ultra Fresh’ monthly box launched just last month, showcasing three fresh cosmetics (spanning skin, body and haircare), made with ingredients that are in season at that moment. The boxes are available for pre-order only (this month’s can be ordered up till 8 a.m. 29th May, which is Friday), and then are made on demand and sent out at the beginning of the following month. So, you’ll receive the June box in the first week or so. (Note: there’s no subscription commitment; you just buy the monthly boxes that you fancy.)

Shops We Love: @grove_england flagship 😍 As if the Cotswolds wasn’t filled with enough beauty and gorgeousness, another lovely emporium has flung open its door in too-too-picturesque Stow-on-the-Wold. We’ve written about Grove England several times before (including as our Fab Find of the Week) The fragrances – original armfuls-of-white-florals Amemone, and more recent Snowdrop (perfectly capturing the essence of Spring) are inspired by the garden at d award-winning interior designer Laura’s own Cotswolds home, and available in an incredible wide range of scented delights, from candles to bath treats to hand nourishers for (almost) top to toe. Everything is made in small batches, the botanically-inspired scents created by a British master perfumer. Link in bio to read our full review ✨ #beautybibleloves #shopswelove #beautyreviews

Fab Find of the Week: @thisworks newness for summer legs🦵🌞✨ Sun’s out! Legs out! (Well, some of the time.) Our experience, however, is that this time of year often takes people by surprise. Legs have been cocooned in tights or under trousers for much too long, and TLC is not always a beauty priority in the multi-layered months. Then the sun emerges and… panic! Well, this two-fer is instantly glamourising. You might also want to embark on a little hair removal, first – if needed – but these two travel-friendly innovations offer instant results.

Beauty Steal: @nailsinc It’s Topless 1-Step Gel @bootsuk exclusives 💅 Cue trumpets, cue drumroll: Nails.INC has just dropped 23 exclusive shades of It’s TOPLESS at good old Boots. We wrote about these brilliant polishes a few weeks back, and have become properly devoted to the formula for its ease of use. One coat is transformative; two is groomed-and-gorgeous – no need for base coat, or top coat, or anything; just paint straight onto the nail. No faff. No fuss. Just shine or shimmer, depending on your goal. Link in bio for our full review 💖 #beautybibleloves #beautysteal #nailcare #nailproducts

Jo’s Scent Notes: Manos Gerakinis Sillage Royal 🫶✨ ‘It isn’t often that I try a perfume that instantly goes into my Top Five. Almost never, actually. But Sillage Royal will, I think, be on my scent A-list forever. I am lucky enough to get to try what feels like a gazillion fragrances, in my day-to-day life, never mind the collection on my dressing table. Discovery sample sets, launches, general sniffing around in perfumeries… Which is one of my favourite pursuits. And that’s how I came across this, by a Greek perfumer called Manos Gerakinis… I didn’t honestly expect to find something that stopped me in my tracks, but Manos Gerakinis Sillage Royale did‘ Link in bio to read the full review in this week’s Scent Notes 🌟 #beautybibleloves #scentnotes #fragrance

Fab Find of the Week: @nealsyardremedies Wild Rosehip newness 💖 Rosehips have always been hero ingredients at Neal’s Yard Remedies – as far back as we can remember. (And, er, that is a LONG time.) The reason is simple: this brilliant botanical ingredient is incredibly rich in antioxidants, alongside natural pro-vitamin A and vitamin E. The benefits? A more even skintone (in time), as well as – in the shorter term – increased glow. As in: overnight, in the case of two of these products!!!! Last week, Jo attended a truly beautiful lunch to celebrate the launch of this certified organic range, having a great catch-up with dynamic CEO Anabel Kindersley, who’s doing such a great job (and is currently in the middle of opening THREE new stores!) Several of the products exist already, but have been repackaged as Wild Rosehip rather than Wild Rose, newly adorned with restful, calm and pretty pink labels – a style that will be rolled out across Neal’s Yard’s range. (And we LIKE…) But two launches in particular have captured our attention (and immediately, our heart): Wild Rosehip Cleansing Oil and Wild Rosehip Glow Cream.

What we have to learn from the French about beauty – in one great book! 📕 😍 We’ve always been rather jealous of French beauties. Seemingly effortlessly well put-together, generally with great skin and an insouciant attitude. We’ve also always been jealous of their access to amazing pharmacies, with wall upon wall of scientifically-sound haircare and skincare (and pharmacists on hand to steer you towards the correct purchases). @drmarinevincent who has been UK-based for over a decade, has worked to bring some of that beauty philosophy to London, with her Marylebone store @thefrench.pharmacy – a cult favourite among beauty editors, showcasing many of the finest brands from across the Channel. And now, she’s distilled her wisdom into a book: The French Skincare Bible. Link in bio to find out more 🇫🇷✨❤️

Beauty Steal: @altruistsun Face Fluid SPF50 🌞✨ A proper, dermatologist-created daily sunscreen, for around a tenner or so. That’s worth sharing. We’ve been hearing the buzz about Altruist Face Fluid SPF50 for a while, now, and it was time for a road-test. And this has SO much going for it. Created by consultant derm and skin cancer surgeon Dr. Andrew Birnie (and no one understands the importance of SPF better than a skin cancer surgeon), this offers top-notch UVA and UVB protection.

Fab Find of the Week: @lordsfragrancehouse Fragrance Disco Ball Rotating Diffuser 🪩✨🕺 With the state the world’s in, we think life really calls for one of these. A diffuser-with-a-difference: a bright disco ball which wafts fragrance into the room and is just the cheerer-upper that can put the fun back into life, and the smile back onto our faces. It’s from LORDS Fragrance House, a brand we’ve highlighted here before, whose founder Sasha Lords is hugely creative, massive fun – and has genius ideas like this. Basically, it’s a rotating diffuser, setting your decor a-sparkle as it rotates, and via something called ‘ultrasonic water mist technology’, wafts scent into the air at the same time.

Treatments We Love: Aroma Aura Reading with @michelleroquesoneil 🌟 Jo (Fairley) visits holistic supertherapist Michelle Roques O’Neil for a rather different ‘perfume prescription’ – and a therapy session… As Jo writes: ‘Michelle and I go back a long way. She’s in my pantheon of greatest healers and therapists, actually. The first time I experienced a treatment with her, when I “came to” – and honestly it felt like that – I was facing the other way in the room to the way I thought, in my head. It was literally like my molecules had been rearranged! And her products have always been go-tos for me. So, when she invited me for an Aroma Aura Reading, a new treatment offering, I almost bit her hand off (although that would not have been in the holistic spirit of this experience)…’ Link in bio for the full review and what to expect from this extraordinary experience ✨ #aurareading #aroma #healthandwellbeing #essentialoils #treatmentswelove

Health Notes: Breakfast brain foods to power you through the day 💪🥰 If you find your concentration dips by mid-morning or your memory feels a bit less than sharp, think about what you eat for breakfast. Our guest columnist Lucinda Miller, family naturopath, founder of @naturedockids and author of Brain Brilliance, recommends six breakfast brain foods… ‘The nervous system runs on nutrients, and breakfast is your first and best opportunity to give it what it needs to run smoothly over the day.‘ Link in bio to discover how to fuel yourself for brighter, sharper days ahead 🌞🍽️🫶 #beautybibleloves #healthnotes #breakfastfuel #healthandwellbeing #brainfood

Fab Find of the Week: @wildsmithskin new candles 💗 There are scented candles. And then there are Wildsmith’s new scented candles, which have been flickering in the Beauty Bible office, and have quiet stolen our hearts. Pretty to look at, pretty to smell (we think that is a thing), these are inspired by the woodlands and garden of the Heckfield Estate, Wildsmith’s home.
