7 Secrets of Beauty & Wellbeing: Val Garland. (Well, 9, actually.) We’re long-term massive fangirls of make-up artist @thevalgarland 💄✨ In the past, this fearless and tirelessly creative professional mostly worked her magic behind the scenes, creating unforgettable looks for catwalk shows like McQueen and Galliano and for many of the world’s most influential photographers, as well as getting megastars like Lady Gaga camera-slash-red-carpet-ready. Always inventive, sometimes subversive, she is gloriously anti-beige! These days, Val has become familiar to millions as one of the judges on the must-watch BBC show @glowupbbc A long-term fan of Weleda Skin Food, an essential in her kit, she just collaborated on some capsule @weledauk x Val Garland editions of Skin Food, and has put together some truly fab get-your-glow-on kits, which we featured as our Beauty Bible Weekend Steal, last week 🌟 Head to the link in bio to discover more and uncover her best-kept beauty and wellbeing secrets 💫 #beautybibleloves #sevensecrets #beautyandwellbeing

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @aveenoukire calming new skincare innovations 💙✨ Aveeno – longstanding hit with the sensitive-skinned Beauty Bible team – has long made a virtue of gentle, barrier-conscious formulas. The whole (supremely affordable) range harnesses the power of oats, which are notoriously soothing and calming. We recently tried this head-to-toe routine designed for skin that becomes dry, tight, reactive or simply needs a little more kindness – and could almost hear the sign of relief from our face/body.

We couldn’t have a new Beauty Bible without a gathering of friends to launch it into the world – thank you to the wonderful people who came to last night’s gathering at the Royal Ocean Racing Club (Sarah’s husband’s club in St. James’s). It was fab to have two of our ‘Real-Life Icons’ who appear in the book , @trinnywoodall and @lizearleme , there – and the brilliant @alicehartdavis who brilliantly wrote our section on Tweakments, because she’s the expert and we’ve never had so much as a syringe of Botox between us! (Or anything else, come to that.) BOTH our Beauty Bible publishers were there – Kyle Cathie, who published the first eight volumes, and @mslisamilton at @harpercollins who said some truly lovely things, explaining that waiting 30 years to publish this book, since she was the buyer at Harrods when the first one came out! Thanks to @carolinehirons for popping in before heading off to scoop up a Sunday Times Style Beauty Award! (Well done you!) Also so lovely so lovely to see journalists and make-up/skincare/haircare/tanning legends including @rubyhammer @jamesreadtan @aliyoungbeauty @giamills7 @amywilliams_79 @atehjewel @sarahchapmansc @pauledmonds217 @kathyphillips1 @nm_beautydesk @suerpeart – and bravo to @fightingfifty for bringing her SIGNED copy of the oirginal 30-year-old Beauty Bible! (We BIG RE-signed it!) And thanks to everyone who’s ever bought a Beauty Bible – and might just be buying this one... #beautybibleiconicedition #newbook #beautybible

As we’ve shared during the countdown to this launch, we’ve often discussed gathering together every little nugget of wisdom we’ve ever learned over three decades of writing our books and running our Beauty Bible Awards – and turning them into the ‘ultimate’ book. And we’re slightly having to pinch ourselves, because… 10th September 2025, the day has dawned and The Beauty Bible Iconic Edition. Alongside insights from so many of the amazing hairdressers, make-up artists, facialists and holistic practitioners that we’ve interviewed over the years, we also wanted to big up the products which have become superstars – or rather ‘icons’ – on the strength of our readers trials. There’s so much noise in the beauty arena, nowadays. Since we launched our first book The Beauty Bible, in 1996, we have seen thousands of products come – and go. We’ve sat back and watched fads and trends wax and wane, too. And we’ve entered an age – thanks to social media and the cosy relationship between advertisers and editorial in print publications – when it’s almost impossible for anyone who loves skincare, make-up, haircare and bodycare to know for sure whether information is being shared because it’s truly worthy – or whether money has changed hands to secure that mention. Proudly, we are happy to say that we have never taken a penny in advertising or sponsorship for anything we’ve written about. Products earn their plaudits through merit. Never, ever via monetary incentives. In quite a few cases, though, our pink books have played a really important part in a product’s success – and so throughout The Beauty Bible Iconic Edition, we share those skincare, haircare, bodycare and make-up superstars, alongside the tester comments which helped propel them to icon status. We also invite you to meet our real-life heroes: @lizearleme @marcia.kilgore @trinnywoodall @charlottetilbury @dija_ayodele @sammcknight1 and @beeshapiro who shared their tips, tricks and beauty philosophies with us for the pages of this book. We hope you love it. And then all the 30 years of hard work will have been worthwhile…!

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @lush Intergalactic Candle 🕯️✨ Fact: scented candles can be an arm and a leg. And while we wouldn’t necessarily burn every candle in the Lush range (we are not massive fans of gourmands or mega-florals), this has been flickering in the Beauty Bible office this week, bringing a sophisticated breath of refreshing air, with a wake-up vibe that has felt just perfect for this back-to-school season.

Salons we love: @wyldebirdbohemia ✂️ A lovely new discovery for Jo, right on her doorstep in St Leonards 🌊💙 Jo has, in her words, ‘impossible hair’ but stylist @jamiemccormickhair proved more than up to the challenge. She was particularly impressed with the Natulique products Jamie used, which managed to tame her hair without her usual mousse. The salon itself is gorgeous too - a former baker’s shop with beautiful tiling, marble shelving and mid-century pieces. Co-owner Jose Bass has also created a great edit of skincare and make-up, including Erborian, SVR and Verden. ✈️ 💫 Special mention for Airplane Mode room spray - rosewood, cedarwood, palo santo and patchouli. Jo says it’s the most instantly calming room spray she’s ever tried. Read Jo’s full review via the link in bio 🫶 #beautybibleloves #salonswelove #stleonardsonsea

Fab Find of the Week: @cornishseaweedbathco haircare 🌊🌟 These are shining stars. They truly are. Have to say, the Cornish Seaweed Bath Company hadn’t floated onto our radar until recently, but now we’re absolute converts to the haircare (and looking to try some of the other all-naturally-derived goodies in the range). It has to be said that natural haircare hasn’t always pushed our buttons – but these three products put on a performance that rivals anything out there. Not cheap – but then nowadays, a lot of haircare isn’t. This brand really has a bracing coastal vibe to their haircare, with a zingy, wake-you-up fragrance that focuses around mint leaf, frankincense and angelica.

You had us at hello. 👀 Jo dives into Akro Dark - a rich, moreish scent created by master perfumer Olivier Cresp - and explores the fragrance brand he founded with his daughter Anaïs, inspired by our favourite little vices and addictions. And with Jo’s lifelong love of chocolate (she did, after all, co-found Green & Black’s…), this one feels particularly personal. 🍫 Discover why Akro Dark has become such a perfect match for Jo - plus her thoughts on the rest of the Akro range.

Win @weledauk Skin Food Icons – worth £49.15 (EIGHT prizes to be won 💚 Featuring two ‘Icons’ from our new book, The Beauty Bible: Iconic Edition, alongside two other serial Beauty Bible Award-winners, we’re thrilled to kick off our autumn prize draw season with a stunning collection from a beloved brand, celebrating its 100th birthday this year! 🎉 Weleda has created eight Skin Food Icons Bundles, each packed into a gorgeous green Weleda pouch and containing four of the brand’s most-loved skin-nourishers… 🔹 Weleda Skin Food Nourishing Night Cream (normally £15.95 for 40ml) – formulated with moisture-supporting sacha inchi oil, cica and squalane, it is designed to give dry, dehydrated skin an overnight dose of nourishment. ✨ Weleda Skin Food Nourishing Lip Balm (£7.75 for 8ml) – one of our own all-time favourite natural lip treats, a lovely pocket-sized rescue for dry, chapped lips, leaving them soft, supple and comforted, with a nourishing botanical blend that includes sunflower seed oil, wild pansy, rosemary, chamomile and calendula. 💫 The other stellar botanical winners in this kit include Weleda Skin Food Nourishing Day Cream (normally £15.95 for 50ml), which won in the 2023 Beauty Bible Awards Day Moisturiser category.

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @nyxcosmetics Professional Bare With Me Concealer Serum 💖 We love a serum concealer. There’s something about the texture that just melds with skin, giving the most seamless finish. And without naming names, we think NYX Professional Bare With Me Concealer Serum measures up to serum concealers at three or even four times the price: smooth, blendable and very light-reflecting (it makes absolute toast of those blue shadows on the inside of the eye socket). It’s easy to blend with fingers – though we find that a synthetic blender brush delivers even better results, grabbing product from a couple of squirts on the back of the hand.

Fab Find of the Week: @emmahardieskincare Moringa Cleansing Balm Supersize Edition 🤍 Long celebrated by Beauty Bible for its gloriously comforting texture, the spa-like scent and seriously effective performance of this cleanser has made it a long-time favourite of ours. If cleansing has ever seemed like a chore, we promise this turns taking off the day into a sense-soothing ritual. And until 31st August, there’s an especially tempting reason to replenish: the supersized limited-edition Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm is available at half price, i.e. £37.50 rather than £75. That’s what we call a steal! So, if you already know and love it, this is the moment to stock up; if you have somehow yet to discover its charms, it is a darned good entry point.

Jo’s Scent Notes: @esteelauderuk Glimmer ✨ We love the idea of “glimmers” – those tiny, unexpected moments that make a day feel a little bit brighter… Estée Lauder’s new Glimmer fragrance takes that idea quite literally. Jo has been wearing it almost non-stop since the launch – and describes it as a gorgeous return to form for Estée Lauder fragrance. Soft, rosy, warm and sophisticated, with macaron rose, patchouli and amber – plus a lovely Chypre edge.

Jo’s Scent Notes: @jomalonelondon Veggies collection 🧡 You know you’ve turned into your mother when a box becomes something that’s too nice to throw away! And honestly, would anyone EVER throw away a Jo Malone London box? Especially one this gorgeous, created for the wonderfully unexpected new Veggies Collection. 🥕🍅 Yes, vegetables. We’ve had fruits. We’ve had flowers. Now it’s the turn of the allotment to take centre (scented) stage. 🌱 Before you worry about smelling like your local greengrocer, let me reassure you - these three are seriously wearable. 🥜 Velvety Butternut – creamy squash, a bright flicker of ginger and a touch of earthy patchouli. Soft, warm and cocooning. 🌼 Carrot Blossom – fennel, carrot blossom, orange flower and white musk. Delicately sweet, sunny and elegant. ❤️ Scarlet Beetroot – my favourite of the trio. Tart blackcurrant, earthy beetroot and chic patchouli make this surprisingly glamorous. I’ve been spritzing it on repeat. And then there’s the Tomato Leaf Hand Wash – a beautifully realistic hit of freshly crushed tomato leaves – plus that stunning ceramic candle. 🍅 Link in bio for full review ✨ #JoMaloneLondon #ScentNotes
