🌟 Jo’s Scent Notes: @acquadiparma Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato 🫶🇮🇹 💬 “Acqua di Parma are having a marvellous time celebrating their 110th anniversary. If you haven’t caught the video of Michael Fassbender in ‘The Art of Living Italian’ video that he made for them (find it on @acquadiparma’s Instagram, roughly three weeks ago), then you’re really missing something fabulous. Makes me want to up sticks, move to Parma and even get a bicycle.” 🌞 As part of the celebrations, they’ve brought out a limited edition – all the zing that Acqua di Parma-lovers are familiar with, from creators of that quintessential, splash-it-all-over, awaken-the-senses Cologne 😍 Link in bio to read the full review from Jo ✨ #beautybibleloves #scentnotes #fragrance

Fab Find of the Week: @williammorrisathome x @purdyandfigg Love Your Home Collection 🏡❤️

We are ALL about the spring cleaning, right now.

Tidying medicine cabinets. Pulling out beds and chests of drawers. Polishing windows that suddenly look dusty

Fab Find of the Week: @williammorrisathome x @purdyandfigg Love Your Home Collection 🏡❤️ We are ALL about the spring cleaning, right now. Tidying medicine cabinets. Pulling out beds and chests of drawers. Polishing windows that suddenly look dusty and even cobwebby, now that the light’s changed a bit. And this is just the loveliest range to help you power through the spring cleaning in a fabulously fragrant way. As you may know, we’re longstanding fans of Purdy & Figg. (As a customer from the beginning, Jo even did an online ad for them last year – the only thing she’s ever done such a thing.) And we’re equally longstanding fans of William Morris At Home, created by our friends at Heathcote & Ivory. This Love Your Home Collection Starter Kit was a sell-out in days when it launched last month, but – set your alarms – because new stock is being added to the website on Valentine’s Day.

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @dr.pawpaw YOUR Gorgeous HAIR 💙 This is good stuff. But we’d expect nothing less from Dr.PAWPAW, actually, who’ve now added haircare to their range (and will be refocusing on the EXCELLENT skincare again soon, we hear.) Affordable, with packaging to wake up your senses, we’re loving everything about this. EVERYTHING. The smell? Light, freshn a teensy bit tropical, but underplayed. (Because let’s face it, we want people to be able smell our fragrance, not our haircare.) Faves to date are the OUR gorgeous HAIR Cleansing Shampoo and YOUR gorgeous HAIR Hydrating Conditioner, and – for us – the heroes of the range, which are a couple of styling products.

WIN @correxiko LED Light Therapy Mask (worth £399) – and more! 🌟 We’ve written about Correxiko collagen products before, applauding founder Dr. Dinuk Dissanayake, London-trained specialist gastroenterologist turned health and beauty entrepreneur. He describes founding the company as ‘a love letter’ to his wife Lalani. The first missive came in the shape of clinically proven formulations based on the marine collagen peptides he’d first used as an NHS doctor for wound healing post surgery. They stimulate fibroblasts, the raw material to produce new collagen to give skin bounce, suppleness and smoothness, also elastin for springiness and hyaluronic acid to keep skin hydrated and plump. 🌟 The BIG NEWS now is that Dr. Dinuk has just launched the Correxiko Light Therapy Face Mask, designed to be used in tandem with taking the collagen supplements 🌟 💫 We’re delighted to offer Beauty Bible readers the chance to win a Correxiko Light Therapy Face Mask (normally £399), plus a Correxiko Marine Collagen Bundle (worth £69), with a 30-day supply of marine collagen powder and marine collagen capsules. No other brand is offering this exclusive combination to help you look and feel your best, and it’s really pretty fabulous.

Fab Find of the Week: @urbandecaycosmetics Naked Original Eyeshadow Palette - Limited Edition 👀🌟 ⏰ It’s back. But be quick! Because Urban Decay are telling us that this will be absolutely the final time that this invaluable, truly iconic palette will be on sale. Allegedly, 30 million of the original Urban Decay Naked Original Eyeshadow Palette have been sold – and we’re not really surprised. This is your capsule collection of totally wearable matte and shimmer shades, for every eye effect imaginable. It spans the whole spectrum of colours that we’d use ourselves, from Virgin – a great bone shade, for the brow-bone – through to a smouldering deep navy and grey (the slightly weirdly-named Creep, and Gunmetal), via lots of brilliant neutrals.

💖 Beauty Bible Loves... @glisten_cosmetics x @teletubbieshq ✨ It’s a mad world out there. So, don’t think us crazy, because today we bring you a colourful collab between Glisten Cosmetics and Teletubbies that’s a thing of pure joy and fun (albeit one probably designed for younger faces than ours). And don’t we all need more joy and fun, in present times? 🌈 The Glisten Cosmetics x Teletubbies collection offers a rainbow (literally) of palettes. We think young teens would love this – not to mention as anyone who feels a tad nostalgic for the Teletubbies themselves, and those innocent, optimistic days of the 1990s.

It was the signature scent of so many in the late 80s and 90s, and legions of Dewberry-lovers were plunged into beauty mourning when it was discontinued. But it’s BACK!

Jo’s Scent Notes: @aftelierperfume Patchouli Noir (featuring 100-year-old patchouli...!) 🌿✨ In this week’s Scent Notes, Jo dives nose-first into Patchouli Noir by Mandy Aftel - a dark, daring natural fragrance with a red-velvet, smoke-hazed nightclub soul. Think cognac, ambergris, blood orange, pine tar and four different patchouli essences, including one that’s a century old. Jo says: “This is one naughty fragrance, with a red velvet, smoke-hazed nightclub vibe, and a pulsing, smouldering sensuality” Discover why Mandy Aftel is the true master of natural perfumery - and explore the stories, books and curiosities behind this extraordinary scent.

As keen gardeners, Team Beauty Bible is fond of a natural nail, but the challenge is protection.

Because one of our favourite bath and bodycare ranges has just opened the most gorgeous-looking store in one of our fave cities. As Bramley say, ‘We believe in the magic of nature’ – and while Bath’s not on a par with the West End in terms of stressiness, this is definitely an oasis in this bustling city. As well as being probably the nicest-smelling spot in the whole of Bath! Link in bio to find out more ✨ #beautybibleloves #shopswelove

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @maxfactor False Lash Effect Supreme Recharge Mascara 😍 We don’t generally go for a ‘false lash’ effect – we’re more the natural type. But without looking spidery or as if lashes are entering the room a few seconds before the rest of you, this is a darned good mascara. It grips. (‘Waisted’ silicone wand, grabbing every last lash.) It properly volumises. It adds lashings of black pigment to the lashes, and – if that IS your thing – it’s buildable to a quite dramatic effect. We also very much like the fact that this is refillable (a first for Max Factor) 🌟 Link in bio for the full review 💕 #beautybibleloves #beautybloggers #weekendsteal

Fab Find of the Week: @yardleylondonuk x @lgfbuk Vibrant Peony ✨ We recently had a lovely deep-dive into everything that’s going on at the Yardley brand – including a swoon over some of their vintage advertising – at a press showcase. There’s some lovely stuff coming, but this caught our eye immediately: a collaboration with one of the beauty world’s most heart-warming charities, which we have ourselves supported for several decades 🫶 Look Good Feel Better works with the beauty industry to offer makeovers and other kinds of support to women affected by cancer. We’ve seen it in action: patients at various stages of treatment, self-confidence eroded, walking through the doors… and walking out again, heads held high, feeling so much better about the world, life, themselves. £1 from the sale of each Vibrant Peony fragrance will go to Look Good Feel Better (and they aim to raise at least £20,000) 🎀 💖 The fragrance itself? A bit of a crowd-pleaser, actually, with a bouquet of rose, peony and jasmine at the heart, introduced by fruity notes of apple, pear and peach, and with a cloud of musks alongside cedarwood softly emerging, as it warms on skin.

Salons We Love: The Pelican Rooms, Deal 💙✨ We have long believed that the place in which you have a therapy is actually… part of the therapy. In fact, the British Holistic Medical Association used to run an award which recognised exactly that, the ‘Healing Spaces in Holistic Healthcare Award’ – the idea that the feel of a place itself can enhance the power of the treatment itself. Jo was reminded of how important the setting itself is on a recent visit to Deal, where she enjoyed – properly enjoyed – a relexology treatment in the beautiful setting of @thepelicanrooms overlooking Deal’s beach. (You can just see the pier in the background!) All sea blues, mermaid wallpaper, sisal rugs and beautiful design details, it had the feeling of pure seaside sunshine, even on a grey autumnal day.

Beauty Steal: @childsfarm Strawberry & Mint range ✨ This has been a huge hit with some special small people in our life, infused with a luscious and not-too-sweet strawberry scent that makes shampooing and conditioning a real pleasure. (They’ll love it – and if they’re too small to wash their own hair, you’ll enjoy it, too.) Specifically, the Child’s Farm Strawberry & Mint range is formulated to tame tangles ‘in half the time’ – and frankly, this would have transformed Jo’s childhood! She was only ‘allowed’ to wash her waist-length hair once a week, because of the time it took for her mum to get a comb through it afterwards. With this? A cinch.

Fab Find of the Week: @officialnavyprofessional hand and cuticle care ✨ Dear Diary: 2026 is going to be the year when we take better care of our nails and cuticles. What with gardening, in particular, we know we’re guilty of failing to give them the TLC they deserve. But now we’ve discovered Navy nail care, we promise all that is going to change…’ As beauty resolutions go, doing more for your nails is a very positive one – not least in dividends swiftly paid, for the amount of effort invested. Cuticles soften swiftly, and don’t any longer snag. Hands look instantly more groomed. And over the slightly longer term, nail health and even growth is enhanced, when you make a habit of daily (or more conveniently, nightly) care: stronger, more flexible nails, resistant to breaks and snaps. Navy is a brilliant new find, then – introduced to us by our friends at @spacenk – which makes regular nail care into a real pleasure.
